Subject: What went down.
I guess I had a good four-day weekend. Up to the climatic "dive" I took. I'll explain. We were in a cemetary playing songs for band on Monday. We just got done with God of our Fathers (?) and were waiting for it to end. The guy made ANOTHER prayer to god. Yes, as important as it is, it was driving me nuts. You see, When I don't move, I get all itchy and irritated. My back really aches and stuff too. So the trumpets were getting ready to play "Taps", when I suddenly felt really sleepy. "S*it, I said to myself, This isn't good." Realizing that I probably locked my knees, I varied my standing postitons as best I could. Then I got hit with an incredible wave of tiredness. I kind of thought, "What should I do?". Well, I decided there was nothing I could do. So I fell over. It went black for about 3 seconds. Then I woke up. I looked around and thought, "Goddamnit, I locked my knees. Son-of-a-bitch." So my mom gets there, and says "Oh my god! Atman, are you ok?" Now, realize that I'm pissed beyond pissed because I didn't want to fell over and I did. So I answer her in a pissed off tone, "Yes, I'm fine." My parents are very much over-reacting. This old guy who I thanked helped me get to the car. My dad also got me there. I didn't say anything about walking because it wouldn't have mattered. I get in the car and my parents both stare at me, as if I'm an alien from another planet. I finally say, "Um, if I can't stay, can we go home?" We drive away and my mom turns around and says, "Can I get you anything?"
No.
Are you Sure?
Yes, I'm sure I don't need anything.
We can get you a gatorade.
NO. I'M FINE.
Ok.
So we pull in a gas station and we get a Sobe. We get home and I won't get out of the car because I'm so pissed at myself for doing this. And I'm still in my uniform. So I get out of it. Then my parents make me drink the Sobe and eat a banana. I bascally loafed until we needed (I'm still not done. I'll edit later.)
