We went to a picnic dinner out in the field behind the temple&#8217;s school and got to say goodbye to him. But uh&#8230; we didn&#8217;t stick around for his last service, though. Family had things to do.<br \/>\nWhen I got home I spent about an hour working over the phone with my mom working on her <a HREF=\"http:\/\/marindocgroup.tripod.com\/\">website<\/a> &#8211; I had put together a <a HREF=\"http:\/\/marindocgroup.tripod.com\/davegetz\/\">gallery<\/a> to showcase a local artist&#8217;s work and unfortunately most of the image filenames had spaces in them. It was a tedious process of guiding her through programs she had never used before, but we got it done. It felt sorta good.<br \/>\nI had enough time to stop by the Oasis, where people were actually hanging out. Bryan took hold of the yearbook that I had just recieved and had some artistic prodigy from my school sign it (she drew a quick face and wrote &#8220;I Love You&#8221;). And then Adam signed it saying that he can&#8217;t wait for the next version of JeffreyAtW. Hooray.<br \/>\nUsual Starbase thingy afterwards. <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.thecrusader.com\">Chris<\/a> was there. He is still awesome. Rob, another local DDR masta, was there with some friends. I couldn&#8217;t want anything more than to have these Friday nights continue into the summer. They&#8217;re oh-so-fun.<br \/>\nWhich brings me to the other two days of the weekend! Most of it was spent studying, writing extra credit papers, and compiling portfolios of work I&#8217;ve done over the year. <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.jeffreyatw.com\/characters.shtml\">Jeff<\/a> came over and we worked on filling out a list of English standards that we had completed over the year&#8230; it&#8217;s sorta dumb. The only thing that we have to do for the English final is complete that packet, and then just turn it in&#8230; I shouldn&#8217;t complain since we don&#8217;t have a big ol&#8217; test, but I do wish my teacher would plan a little more for us that relates to English&#8230; like writing, for instance&#8230;<br \/>\nThe main event, though: my first date with Amelia! I&#8217;ll stray from my usual enthusiastic adjective (amazing) and use this instead: astounding. Come to think of it, the date was short and sweet: we had originally planned on eating at an Italian restaurant a little while away and then driving into the city to see <a HREF=\"http:\/\/improv.org\">Bay Area Theater Sports<\/a>, a local hilarious improv&#8230; but we ended up eating at Applebee&#8217;s in the mall and then walking across the mall to the movie theater, where we saw Finding Nemo. It&#8217;s a great film, by the way, despite what <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.joshlesnick.com\">some critics<\/a> might tell you about &#8220;unoriginality&#8221;&#8230;<br \/>\nAlthough that was pretty much the extent of our date I still loved it. It&#8217;s surprising that I&#8217;ve been putting stuff off like this &#8211; you really can&#8217;t say much bad about the dating scene and having someone to be loving and intimate with until you&#8217;ve tried it yourself &#8211; and even when you have, there still isn&#8217;t much bad to say about it \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nJusqu&#8217;\u00e0 la fois prochaine, c&#8217;est JeffreyAtW, dirant l&#8217;adieu.<br \/>\nAnd speaking of la fois prochaine&#8230; GAH FINALS AND GRADUATION AND GRAD NIGHT AND GLAGH TOO MUCH STUFF ETC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sure, I&#8217;ll blog about the weekend.
