First things first....

Hey there ツ. I haven't updated in awhile. This feels kind of weird...hmm. Okay, I'm just going to ignore the queer feelings and type about what I've neglected to update on.
Yesterday, on April 16, 2010, I participated in the
National Day of Silence. It truly was an amazing experience. This was my first time participating. A few friends of mine did it last year, but they didn't go to the same school as I went to and I didn't want to be alone. Luckily, this year, a few other kids participated in my school and it went pretty well. I was nervous at first because I didn't know what kind of reaction I would get from my teachers and the other students, but I really didn't face much opposition. I slipped up a few times, but overall I stuck with it. There was a tennis match (we're 5-0 in the season so far by the way) after school and I had to have someone else call out my score for my opponent. I even gave the opposing team speaking cards explaining why I was silent. After the day was over it felt like I couldn't even speak at all. It was like I was afraid to hear my own voice. Besides, I didn't really have anything to say. The silence spoke volumes.
That Friday was also my school's annual international festival. Gosh, Friday was just an awesome, awesome day.
After the festival was over and everything was all cleaned up, I walked over to my bookbag and surprise, surprise...some lintlicking loserface decided to steal my umbrella. My phone had just shut down because it likes to do that sometimes so I couldn't call my mum for a rescue mission. It was pouring outside and I didn't have a jacket with a hood, not to mention all of the sport gear I was carrying severely weighed me down. I ended up borrowing a friend's phone and texting my mum repeatedly. It was pretty late at that time and my school's security guards were about to leave. I wasn't gonna stand outside in the rain getting soaked so I walked to dunkin donuts with a friend. Even through all of this I was still able to smile. As the rain picked up speed and I was successfully sopping wet, a smile escaped and it just wouldn't dissipate. My friend looked at me like I was crazy. Why the hell would I be smiling at a time like this? Through the foggy frames of my glasses I just stared at him with the stupidest, surest smile and he understood. I said nothing, but the silence said everything. We walked along, hand-in-hand, silently analyzing the profound meaning the day had for us. He didn't participate, but he knew how much it meant to me and I loved him for understanding that. Softly, I grasped his hand and interlocked our fingers, palm-to-palm, finger-between-finger. All of the positive energy I gathered that day was sent to him. He responded by holding on even tighter. After awhile of holding hands, I playfully pinched his palm and he let go. I just wanted him to know how much I cared, as a friend, and how much it meant to me that he was supporting what I was doing.
Did I mention I spoke to someone about starting the GSA? No? Well I did ツ. It's going to be a grueling process, but I'm in it for the long haul.
Friday...was...freaking...amazing. Wish I had written sooner, I had so much more to say.
*sigh*.
Miscellaneous Stuff Time:I have an appointment with an allergist on Tuesday morning. *Fingers crossed*
Today is my grandfather's (on my mum's side) birthday .
My grandmother (on my dad's side) called me today asking if I got anymore piercings because she looked at my credit card statement. She's hilarious. She's okay now for the time being.
My little sister, Maya, told me I dressed like Ellen, haha.
I especially want a certain someone to read the lyrics of the song my title is linked to...you know who you are. I'll always care, but we need our space. ツ.
Random picture I took today on a random bed. Then I had some fun with it and produced this peculiar baby:
