Highly recommend adopting an underclassmen. My underclassmen and I feed eachothers delusions, were eachothers therapists, and we complain about people not even close to our age together, and honestly it's amazing

last high school performance

I’m writing this sitting on my phone in the car waiting for someone so we can go out to get a late night snack.

This is following the high school’s final performance of the musical “Meet Me in Saint Louis”, and also following the exile of orchestra from the cast party—something I loved attending in the past few years and was also kinda looking forward to all day.

Oh well. It is what it is.

I’ll probably get a milkshake while we’re out anyway.

…

It’s a bittersweet moment, because while that was some of the last music I’ll ever perform at my high school, it’s also a testament to how far I’ve come musically and my dedication to the program.

Though I’ll likely be playing instruments my whole life, today might have been the last time I’ll ever play in a musical, because I doubt I’ll end up doing something similar in college.

…which is part of why I’m pretty miffed that we, the people playing the music for the musical, aren’t invited to the party to celebrate the musical’s performances over the past few days.

…

I’ve enjoyed playing in the musicals over the past few years. I don’t mean to get nerdy or anything, but soundtracks for musicals are better scores to study for composing game soundtracks than most symphonic repertoire, because of leitmotifs and such. But that’s just my take.

Anyway, it’s been fun—still miffed about the PARTY though, which I’m totally not going to hold on to for way too long.

I probably need to mentally age past 13 at some point right?

I wear a dog collar to school. Yes, every day. Yes, it's obviously a DOG collar, it has a tag and spikes. Do I get stares? Yeah. People don't really say anything to me about it, and if they do, they're- like- freshmen. i don't care about the opinions of 12-14 year old boys. the only thing i really do get for my collar is people either being passive-aggressive (two can play at that game), or i get people complimenting me on it. nobody has ever threatened me over it.

I don't wear a tail to school. i used to. i've had people take pictures of me, threaten to jump me, yell slurs at me, follow me home... so i stopped.

I didn't stop wearing a tail because I'm ashamed of who I am. i stopped wearing a tail to protect myself and people around me, my FRIENDS. because no amount of showing off and being proud is worth getting hurt over, or getting other people hurt over.

be open when it's safe to be open. your personal expression is not worth putting yourself into danger. You can't be out and proud if you're dead.

My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.

You never think senioristis is gonna affect you, and then you don't go on the senior trip and you want to skip every single day and just rot

[amalgamgooze]

this is it!

And so...

All these short years later...

Here I am.

On the night before my last last day of school.

I don't exactly graduate for a few more weeks, but tomorrow's the last time I'll have to wake up for a full day of school.

(At least before college. But, again, college kids don't wake up for school--they wake up for classes.)

I can't describe the feeling. Can't say I've ever felt this way before. I'm at the end of a long, joyous, painful era of my life. After tomorrow, high school (or at least, most of it) ends.

There'll be no more homeroom, no more bell schedule, no more yearbooks, no more of any of that.

And I'll be freer and freer.

I'll have more agency.

More choice.

More direction.

...

But it's over so soon.

At times it felt like it'd never end.

And now it will.

The End is within reach.

...

this is it, I suppose.

My last first day of high school ever starts in 7 hours and I’m still awake

Why does my body do this

Okay but like what am I supposed to do when I can’t use tumblr and ao3 whenever I want? Like I have to put my phone away and learn? I got hit with my biggest hyperfixation in years this summer and it’s still going strong but suddenly I can’t devote my whole life to it?

Nahhhh schools not for me gang
