missing yesterday much?

Not-so-new newsflash: Archie and Indra got in to 70!! Yeah!!

Moving on..
Yesterday, @ Ped's I listened to Wilco's Heavy Metal Drummer and a few other "senior year songs" while looking at the graduation picture of me & the girls. Uh-oh, flashback attacked. That Wilco's song had always reminded me of one certain brief moment back in senior year. And yesterday, it still did.

Yesterday, when the flash of that 'she-fell-in-love-with-the-drummer' thingy in that narrow hallway came back to me...Oh, how I miss high school so much! I miss those days...when a moment like that was already the most dreadful one you can find. When some guy was just another so-called "high-school crush" from the class across the hallway. When I could see all of PedBun&Roz at least 6 days a week. When the only thing that I required to do to see him was standing up from my chair, and there he was, always laughing at godknowswhat with his friends.

I MISS THOSE DAYS!!!

Everyday I'd come to my class, the infamous 3IPS1, and put my bag and my oversized binder on my desk. And when I came a bit late, I would have to fight for my territory either with Ocha, or Yoyo, or Oho, or practically anyone. All day long, all I did was either:
*taking care of our "pojok tenang" scrapdoor (by 'our' I mean me & the girls),
*cooling myself (or sleeping) beneath the fan,
*going for a drink at the cafetaria and never going back to the class,
*sitting in the hallway and singing our ass off,
*and practically everything!
I (& *ahem* some people) would go out to the hallway and we (yes, we! ;p) would gush about some guys for the obvious reason. And my classmates who knew about this 'crush' thingy would tease us about it. Sometimes Ingga would play guitar, and I along with a bunch of people would sing from one song to lotsa others, off-key of course. And Isya would sing either green-day's songs or dangdut xD Rian would get on my nerve and we would fight like always. Nisye and Yoyok would constantly fight. Basically people would do their own not-so-ordinary things.

Later on, I & the girls would skip the extra classes. When we skip class, you most likely would find us at the Lamandau (eating Pak Jun's satay, or buying Quickly, or eating satay padang (i could eat two portions at once)), or at Blok M Plaza (watching some movie at the cinema, or getting out pics taken). We'd go back to the school when the classes were dismissed. We'd sit on the green bench or the pink bars on the field, watching people passed by, or the guys playing soccer, or just the guys, period. ;p

When it got darker and the school was almost empty, I'd go home with whoever that could take me home that day. I'd write about that day on my journal, how fun it was, how fine-looking someone was, how dreading it was when I did something stupid in front of that someone. And I don't remember it clearly, but I definitely remember how I could sleep tight at night knowing the next morning I would go back to my high-school and the day would turn out to be another happiness-filled day with my friends. Awwwwwwwww!

I could go on and on and on about how great it all was...but no use, huh? I miss my high-school, I'm practically stuck in the shadow of my high-school life; but still, nothing can change the fact that I'm no longer in it. I've passed high-school and it's been too far gone. Two years...tsk tsk. I'm old.

I MISS THOSE OLD DAYS!! *said that already, haven't I?*
And I wish I could go back to that time when everything was that simple.

"sun comes up then go away
so does graduation day
you did your walk of fame and that was it
