"Zodiac" + Sleepover at Vanessa's house: Saturday, May 26, 2007

What a movie. What a night.

I'll start off by saying this: Zodiac isn't that good of a movie. Despite some moments, the movie was too long [2h40!!], and it was also predictable, mais bon...

After the movie, we (Sean, Alexandre, Roch, Shazmeen, Zoé, Vanessa and I) went to Vanessa's house, where we were going to watch Team America: World Police, but decided to watch something else instead.
The metro ride was a bit ... disturbing, with the guys and Shazmeen having a very interesting (to say the least) conversation, while Vanessa, Zoé and I patiently waited to arrive at Alexandre Dumas. Once there, we met Suzanne and Imogen, who were waiting for us to come back from the movies for a while, and went upstairs, forgetting Zoé somewhere on the fifth floor...

After having settled, the rest of us (minus Imogen, who had to leave) watched Kill Bill II, waiting for the pizzas to be ready. Some of us helped make dinner [which was VERY good!], others waited patiently and watched the movie. We did have a bit to drink (some had more Jack Daniels than others...) before eating though. Once the pizzas were ready, we all dug in, waiting for the Cannelloni and Hachis Parmentier to be ready.

Once the movie was over, Sean and Roch went home by metro, and Alexandre (who desperately wanted to stay...) by car, but we all got lost even with the help of a map. Then we went to pick up Jessica at about 1 AM, and returned to Vanessa's crib at around 1:30 am. The girls (Shazmeen, Suzanne and Vanessa) talked all night, while Zoé played a bit of guitar, leaving me to catch some z's.

After waking up at 7:55 am, we all got ready and went to meet up with a few members of the band "Last Wings", and went our separate ways.

I need to talk to someone. I don't care who. I feel as if I can't trust people I know anymore, because either they won't listen or they'll end up telling the whole world, which pisses me off even more. I have to deal with my whiny attention-seeking crazy psychopath of a parent every day, as well as the rest of my family and I can't take it. I miss my dad horribly, but I don't want to leave the school. I'm lost. I don't know what I want to do in life, what I'm going to do next year, and how I'm going to end up in life...

I get treated like dirt again, in school. I help people out, yet everything crashes back down on my shoulders. I like people who'll never lime me back. I hang out with people who honestly couldn't care less about the stuff I say, or what I do. My grades are slipping a bit, and the exams have already started. Our stupid conseil de classe is in less than three weeks, so that makes things even worse...

I overthink a lot about everything, lose sleep, and cry over people who aren't even worth it, but that's just who I am, I'm too sensitive and take care of others before taking care of myself.


I need help...

Prom Night: Saturday, May 5, 2007.

Words just can't describe how amazing the prom was.

The room was very well decorated; in the morning we (Jessica, Chloë, Gala, Alice, Nico, Arthur, Antoine, Andreas and I) blew up balloons (and popped some...), and hanged them up on pillars, all over the room. With the help of Lucas and Omar, we moved chairs and tables, so as to make room for the students (and teachers!) to dance. It was around 8 PM that the fun really started...


The DJs got there at around 7:45 pm. At the time, there weren't many people, but everyone ended up coming sooner or later. There was a screen with movies playing (Alice In Wonderland, Shrek, etc.), which I think, added some effect to the decoration. The music started at around 8:00-8:15 pm, and most people started getting on the dancefloor. A mix of everything: pop, rock, R'n'B, hip-hop... you name it. Despite the fact that most feet hurt during the night, the dancefloor was never empty; people continued dancing along to whatever was playing that night, alone or together. I also had fun hanging around with people outisde (Zalia, Eva, Félix, Xavier and Louis), as well as dancing with a LOT of people, running around with everyone, a chain of people dancing. (la chenille, quoi ...) Many people were in it the first time, so it was really cool.
There were no slow dances, just music that everybody could dance along to. It was a really great night, and a BIG thank you to everyone that helped organizing it, and selling tickets.
