I am quite positive that come Monday morning, we will have an anouncement telling us about the banning of Silly String from school. It probably already is, but it's incredibly loose and didn't stop people from what happened today.

Today was "Color Wars" at WHS. Freshman = Yellow, Soph = Purple, Juniors = Green, Seniors = Red, Staff = Pink.

Most of the school was THESE colors. Even more so than past Wars.
This morning, the VERY spririted Tamir (Junior), was spraying green hair spray stuff into people's hair. At lunch, we noticed that he got some in Poofy Hair's (Freshman) hair. Very funny stuff. Yes, this becomes slightly relavent later on. Juniors (and Poofy Hair) were the only ones with color in their hair.

We had a pep assembly, naturally, at the end of school.

Oh my god, I won't forget it anytime soon.


The Senior Walk-in.

The Seniors came in and started throwing things at us, Juniors. It kinda hurt. They were little bits of gum.
Then, as they came in a bit more, the middle group of Juniors brought out the guns... haha, no, I mean GREEN SILLY STRING. Not much actually got to the Seniors, who had a couple Stringers themselves. It ended a couple seconds later. It may have been the end of the battle, but not the War.

Mr. Yee grabbed an abandoned can and sprayed me and either Steph or Caitlin with green string. It got on my sleeve and felt absolutely NASTY. I can't imagine how it'd feel on your face or hair.

The smell was horrible. It certainly wasn't helping the near-migraine headache I had.

Of course, like always, the Juniors and Seniors have chanting battles.
The middle group of Juniors (the ones with Silly String and COVERED from head to toe with green) stood for the ENTIRE assembly.

There was a game. You know, one of those stupid pep assembly games to humiliate a few people to make everyone else incredibly hyped up. There was one person from each class and one staff (Mr. Yee). With hands behind their backs, they had to shove their face in cream filled with gummi bears and 2 pieces of gum, which they had to chew and blow a bubble with. Staff was declared the winner. After that, Trenton (Junior), took his "cream pie" and threw it at the Senior next to him, starting a mini cream fight... HEY, that's what you get when you make a game with CREAM pies. It's a recipie for disaster.
It was quite fun to watch, actually.

More chanting.
I could tell the staff/people in charge were trying to be heard over the yelling of "Seniors!" and "Juniors!"

About half the Seniors were standing on the floor, right in front of their bleachers. I was kinda wondering what was going on. How many people did it take to hold up 7 pieces of regular sized paper? (They had one with "S", another with "E", and so on". They all spelled it fine, except the "R" was upside down. Funny stuff)

More chanting. This time all from the Juniors, screaming, "Seniors suck!" More green string, making the smell come back. Tamir had his green hair spray, and sprayed it in the air.
Judging by people's faces and reactions near him, the spray had an absolutely nasty smell.

After a funny joke from the Staff, Seniors were declared the "Winner" of the pep assembly. The winner stuff is absolute crap in my opinion. The Seniors got 3 "paw points" for winning Tug-O-War. Absolute CRAP!! The point giving is completely biased (given my a Senior) and pointless.
Suddenly, the Seniors started RUNNING, or CHARGING; the word that first came to mind. Let's go through what was running through my head: "Shit. What are they doing? Why are they running? Are they going to attack us? HO. LY. SHIT. RUN FOR COVER!!" And it was exactly the right thing to think. As the Seniors got to us, all Hell broke lose. Silly String was painting the sky, the bleachers, and people, green and red. People were screaming, running, and trying to cover themselves to not get string on their face or hair.

Oh yeah. Silly String is so banned from school.


After we were allowed to go, we practically ran out. We got to the outside door when Steph realized she forgot her poster. We all headed back. I watched Busboy go with the crowd out of the gym before going the opposite way we go. Damn. I wanted him to walk by me. Then I'd be able to give him a charming smile. Ha. As if. I'm too shy to do that.

Steph finally came out as the same time as Tyler, Cassy, Chelsea, and co. I whacked Tyler in the head with my poster, and it made everyone else laugh. I told him I did it because he didn't expect it, did he? No. =)
Hells yeah.
Well yeah, so all of them said that the whole assembly was extremely fun to watch. Yeah, maybe for them! They weren't being charged by large seniors armed with red Silly String!
...Okay, that sounds kinda pathetic, but really, it was quite scary. I was sitting on the floor! Thank god we weren't sitting where we have been for this year's past assemblies. We usually sat on the ground between the Juniors and Freshman, but this time we were on the OTHER side of the Juniors. Thank you, Steph!! If we had sat in the other place, I'd still be trying to get the String out of my hair. I'm telling you, it was EVERYWHERE. I tried taking a pic of what the Juniors looked like after being attacked by the Seniors, but it came out blurry and you can't see the worst of the attack. They were COVERED. The only string I got on me was from Mr. Yee. Thank god I didn't get more on me. Ugh, that would feel so nasty!

DUDE!! I found out that Beth died. ='(
She died last night. Surgery complications, or something like that. It's SO SAD!! I really feel for Danny. They were really close friends. I gave Chelsea (Danny's sister) a hug, though.
I looked at my yearbook, where Beth signed. It gave me a really powerful feeling.

I wasn't close friends with her, I'd talk to her and exchange hugs at school, but I haven't seen her, and I probably haven't even talked to her since after she graduated last year, so yes, we've drifted, and I guess I've always had the feeling that she wasn't gonna grow old. My dad said that she was born with a spine disorder of sorts. My dad knew her dad, and I told him what happened. He said that her dad was really proud that the daughter that wasn't going to live managed to live long enough to graduate....
Oh god, I think I'm going to tear up a bit
