In an effort to reestablish some regular order to this journal, I have decided to make a conscious effort to make entries more often.  Right now, I would normally be at class, Calculus, but it was canceled tonight, so that I might bring you this public-se rvice announcement-just a joke.

Last night I was asked to the high school senior ball by a friend of mine. She really couldn't think of anyone to ask.  Most of her friends had graduated last year and gone away.  Her mother, however, wouldn't let her go stag, so, not knowing what else to do, she called me last night and asked me. I was surprised, but not in a bad way, so I consented.  It would be fun-I would see Jamie and Matt and everybody else again, and Robyn would have her date. I've been thinking about it, and I think I can wear the tuxedo I'm borrowing for Concert Band.  All I'd need to do would be to get a tuxedo shirt, and I could rent the bow-tie, shoes, and cumberbunn.  That would save a lot of money. I figure, that would cost about $30 total.  The tickets would be $20, I believe, d inner, if we went out, would be about $50, and a limo, if we got one, would be between $30 and $50, depending on if we went with another couple-and I'm assuming we would at least go with Jamie and her date, perhaps AP and his date, and possibly Steve and Anna.  The dance is May 6, so it's a way's away-no worries about getting everything worked out yet-except maybe limo and dinner reservations...All in all, though, I'm looking forward to it.

I saw an old high school friend today at LMC, someone I hadn't seen or heard from just about ever since graduation, Julee Spores.  I couldn't believe it, she's getting married in June.  High school if definitely over.  Angela Nolan is pregnant and is going to raise the baby alone, dropped out of school.  I haven't heard from April since I called her to try to get her to come to a get-together of high school friends during winter break.  I talked to her for about 30 seconds, and that was it.  I wonder if she ha s a serious aversion to me-wonder how she'd feel if I don't go to Humbolt-relieved or saddened? Pernish got involved in the Army-went through basic training-just to find out what it was like.  He said he heard everyone talking about it so much that he want ed to see what all the fuss was about.  Shelly works at the blind store Nish used to work at, and is going to DVC-her father having gotten layed off last year.  I haven't heard from her since graduation either-though I walked by 3 Day Blinds the night Amy and I went to the movies over break-saw Shell, mused on how much it looked like her, then rejecting the thought as it couldn't possibly be.  I wonder if she resents DVC or her dad for getting layed off, keeping her from moving out.  She probably doesn't, not knowing Shelly. Joe-? Cynon-? Although, Cynon is supposed to be home for Spring Break soon, so I think I'll try to contact him.  Amy is spending break in Alaska with her roomate Kristen-so she doesn't have to come home and put up with her parents.  A while back I heard that Brad Pells, a guy I knew slightly, but not too well-I did go to the senior with him and his date, (and Nish and Shelly and Dan and Jennifer) Maria-I last heard had experimented with homosexuality.  Maria-?  I had Dan in my gov't class last semseter, as well as Lon-Amy's first ex-boyfriend.  Haven't heard anything about them since finals-although I saw Dan the other day-he had a brace on his leg-must've done something to it.
