Well, I just graduated today, and I'm a bit depressed. Simply due to the fact that all the people I've grown up with... Who knows when I'll see them again, if at all...

I've been taking A LOT of pictures this past week.

These pictures were taken on our last day of school, last Tuesday.

Some picture my friend took of me:



Anyway...

We had a rehearsal for the ceremony on Wednesday, and I got a few more pictures.

Josh, Jason, and I (The 7th Grade Trio. We were inseparable in 7th Grade):



Just Jason and I:



Jason and Josh in their gowns:



Jason and Josh in their gowns, doing wings:



Dammit, I should've gotten a picture of Josh and Jason doing their "Nixon Peace Sign" impression that we used to do back in 7th grade.

I caught a couple glimpes of Lisa, but I didn't get the chance to talk to her, let alone ask for a picture.

 Cloud121 May 29, 2005
Whew... That's certainly a lot of pictures. I didn't take as many this weekend though..

Went to a couple parties yesterday (Saturday), and got a couple pictures.

Lisa had given me an invitation, so I anxiously went to her's, I wanted to see her so badly. Finally, I got a picture of her and I:



Me holding my graduation cake:



My Canadian friend Graham and I:



I went to Joel's party after mine, and got another picture with him:



Also took a bunch of pictures of myself in my cap and gown a couple hours befor ethe ceremony. (Good god, I look HORRIBLE in these pictures....)

My mother and I:



My older sister and I:



Lacey and I again:



My beautiful Trixie and I:



Trixie and I again:



Pictures taken at the ceremony are quite large, so I'll just link 'em. My mother took these pictures, and she had never used a digital camera before, so some may look a bit bad.

After everything was over, I was able to find Lindsay. I gave her a big hug, and told her I loved her (Been wanting to tell her that for so long). I was unable to find Lisa though.

This really sucks. Who knows when I'm going to see these people again. I'll miss Joel, Lindsay, and Lisa more than anyone.

I met Joel in 6th grade, as he was my locker partner. I alwaya had trouble opening the locker, so I always needed him to do it for me. He said that everytime he had to open the locker, I'd owe him a quarter. Of course, he was only joking. But waht did I do on Tuesday? I paid him back for it. He just laughed, and took the money.

I met Lindsay in 7th grade, and I was amazed. I've had several great moments with her. My single best moment came Freshman year, when I bought her a box of chocolates for Valentine's Day. Another rather comedic one, came Sophomore year, when in Bioology first semester, she came in our class to worl in the back of the room. I went back there to "look at the animals" when it was obvious that I just wanted to be near her. We started talking, and the entire class turned around and stared at us. After our conversation was over, I went back to my desk, but tripped over a chair on the way. Heh.. It was hilarious.

I met Lisa Freshman year. Couple weeks left in the school year actually. We were in science class together, and I approached her if we could work together. What's rather inteeresting is that she was in my Japanese class all year, and science the whole semester, and I had just noticed her, and just decided to approach her, with only a couple weeks left in the year. Something rather funny happened sophomore year, much like the "Lindsay, tripping over the chair" incident. I was walking past Lisa in the hallway, and she said "Hi Dylan!" to me, in a real friendly tone of voice, and I said "Hi" back, but continued to look at her, almost in awe, and I ran into the guy in front of me. Early junior year, she got into a car accident, and she came down with a minor case of amnesia. I was completely freaking out, and saddened by it. I made her a card, and wrote out a long message in it, and gave it to her. She loved it. Month or so later, I finally got the balls to ask her on a date. I was all set, ready to go... Then I find out she started dating a freshman a week or so before. ARGH! Really sucks. She's still dating Jeremy too...

Some of my best memories of school include:

Hitting a half-court shot in PE as time expired in basketball in 4th Grade. I was a Basketball God back then (And everyone recognized me as such, even moreso after I hit that shot). But then after elementary school, video games completely took over my life (Had been a casual gamer since I was 3, up to that point), and I just stopped playing basketball.

Completely laying out Austin in 7th grade. Austin is/was a big jock, who's a real cool guy, he had just pissed me off that day. Jason and I had got into a fist fight, and Austin was laughing at us. Pissed, I charged him, and completely took him out.

More recently, my having an erection in PE while doing exercises. While I was doing pull-ups once my friend Ryan's friend Jeff screamed at me "You can do it boner!" :lol:

Not exactly a "best memory" but it's real famous.

The infamous "Jenna Story" as everyone called it. I had written a fanfic "The Return of Sephiroth", which happen to have Jenna in it. There was a very sexual scene in it involving her and I. Showing it to my friend Jason, someone took it from him, and showed everyone. The first two months of 8th Grade were so great up until that point. That incident, along with several others involving myself and other girls is what made 8th grade the worst time of my life. It's all behind us now. Even though I sexually harrassed Amy several times, she still kept talking to me a lot (She'd start the conversations) back then. I didn't say a word to Jenna until Sophomore year though. I gave her a hug today after the ceremony, and wished her luck, she did the same to me. She gave me a big smile too. Although I did feel a bit uncomfortable though, with her father standing right there, since I heard he nearly sued my ass for the two things I did back in 8th grade (Both involving her and the fanfic).

Anyway, back to good memories....

Giving Lindsay the box of chocolates and a card for Valentine's Day back in 9th grade.

Making Lisa the card for her amnesia.

Breaking out into song while listening to the radio in PE in 3rd grade. Everyone got a real kick out of that.

I was the ladies man at my old school before moving here to Urbandale in 2nd grade. The girls just loved me back in 1st grade.

Humming Final Fantasy VII music (J-E-N-O-V-A to be exact) real loud in science in 5th grade, and Mrs. Sepanic yelling at me to stop humming.

That's actually all I can remember right now. It's real late, and I need to get to bed.

Congratulations Dylan. My graduation doesn't deserve a thread so I'll make a quick comment here. I didn't take any pictures. However, there was a picture of me from freshman year that got on the melodramatic senior edition of the school news show: A friend and I burning something. All in all I said goodbye to like two people, I don't know anyone very well or like anyone at my school, all my friends don't go to school anymore (meaning they didn't go to school before we graduated). And I'm not going to my graduation ceremony, they don't give out diplomas at it. So I'm just going to sit here on my ass until my stupid wannabe-college high school decides to send me my diploma so I can get a job before my bank takes all my money as under minimum balance fees. I could go on a whole rant about how much my school sucks but I'm sure everyone has stoppped reading this because there are no pictures of big-breasted 18 year olds in it.

Yeee doggy... big breasted 18 year olds!!!!

Shit I remember my graduation. That was a hoot! I went on LSD and sat there twitching for about an hour before my name is even called (600 students in my class who actually GRADUATED, and on about 60% did). Then when they called me up I farted on my principal, all out lifted my leg directed my ass at her and ripped a juicy one! Then got off stage flipped off Mr. Studstill and screamed "I told ya you couldn't get me expelled!" Then as I passed the bitch taking walk off pics she shoves the camera in my face and I smack it back right in the lense almost sending her to the floor and screamed, "NO PUBLICITY BITCH!"

Oh yeah was that day fun!

Later my mother introduced herself to my principal (they never meet as she lived in WA at the time and im in FL).

"Hi how are you, I am Dylan Engelman's mother."

"Nice to meet you; your son is rather ermmm interesting."

"Interesting eh? I heard you wanted him arrested and put in jail. You threatened my son? blah blah blah, bicker bitch do the motherly thing and made the cunt look like a total ass!"

No pics though.

**A little after note, Mr. Studstill swore to get me expelled. He failed as my grades were so damn good and teachers loved me. So he took it out on my little brother two years later and got him expelled instead. I called Mr. Studstill personally and he said to me, "I told you I'd get you some way or another."

You know everyone picks on cloud a lot (well not recently)... but you know he is a pretty good contributor as his threads usually are very long and interesting with a lot of posts from users.

And I assure you Dud... that did happen! Timmy has pics somewhere.

Perhaps, but he still gets a little snippy sometimes, I've had to tell him to die a few times.
