Today from 2nd period to 5th, there was a Junior unity assembly in my highschool. All this week there's been unity spirit things where you wear a hat, (I made my own, It was pimpin') Wear a tie-dye (Tiedie?), and today was wear a hawiian shirt day. (I'm not wearing no hawaii shirt in october). Anyway, The assembly was about understanding other people's backgrounds, like some trama that they've been through. Some of the seniors were sitting up there and they talked about when they were druggies, or were snot-nosed kids, making fun of other girls, and ah...o yea, one girl was really upset and it took a little encouragement to get her to start her story. It turns out that her house was burned down, I guessed that she was raped, or her family was killed, but no. She was all broken down from her house n stuff. Very emotional. Anyway, I heard from the emo kids that I hang out with at lunch that last year, a whole bunch of juniors came up to confess about stuff, saying like, 'We're not lesbians!' and like, 'I'm gay!', so it sounded pretty cool and I wanted to go. Last year they said that around 20 ppl got to go up, this year it was only about 8. 5 of them talked about this one kid from last year that was killed in a car accident last summer. He was their friend and all. Actually, I knew the kid, had my probs with him, but I think I leveled out with him last year. I dunno, I'm not sad for people that cross over.
I'm in this club-well, I'll share that later.
Anyway, ah...ah yea, after that, we all went to the gym and formed into groups, and made ideas on some cool stuff we could do as part of the school. When my group was done writing them all on the paper, we had to pick 2 of them, and pick one person to read them to all the Juniors. I volunteered because I would have gone crazy if I didn't do something. The other groups have like, 3 people sharing their stuff, (All their ideas sucked, like, wear green and white for a week, stupid s**t like that,) but I went up, all my my self (I'm so proud stare ) and shared my ideas without having to speak into the megaphone or have some gay kid hold up the paper. I got mad props for that.
Anyway, I said that there should be a Junior overnight lockdown. Where all the juniors stay in school overnight if they wanted to. You know, playing manhunt, telling ghost stories. People loved that idea. heheheh. And the second one was to have a bonfire at the end of the year, where we burn all of our papers. That idea also got me mad props.
I didn't feel that nervous, I dunno if I should have or not. Well, no one is going to read this long of an entry so..I dunno, you guys might just read the last sentence so I won't put anything strange to end it. wink
