Homecoming Fun

In reflecting back on last week's highschool/work days I don't think I can possibly top it this week. In just a matter of a few days I was photographed for a year book, asked to Homecoming, participated in a fire drill and then witnessed a romantic young man ask his crush to Homecoming with a cookie cake that said "Will you be my girl?" Needless to say it was a helluva week. You know the more I think about it I'm pretty sure that was the first time I was ever asked to Homecoming, ya, it was. Man I'm so more cooler in high school second time around. I mean I went to prom with guys but for some reason Homecoming was always the dance I went to with girls. Maybe Im just extra fugly in the fall or something, who knows.
But back to the cookie cake story. I figured out that the teacher was in on the entire charade because she asked Monique to go to the back of the room to "make sure the ovens were off." But little did Monique know that she was going to find a wonderfully romantic gesture back in kitchen five! Oh it was so cute because she saw the cake and then Jerome walked in from the teacher's office in the back with a rose! Of course Monique squealed and everyone turned to stare. All the girls in the class were incredibly jealous. And for some reason I was incredibly embarassed to have witnessed the whole thing and I'm not sure why. I guess I just pictured that whole thing happening to me in high school, which would have literally been a nightmare for me, I just hate public displays like that. But as I mentioned earlier I really didn't have to worry about such a thing occuring...
Last night I finally experienced the Power and Light district for the first time. Not quite sure what to say about that whole thing. It kinda reminded me of Disney World on ectasy. I have also figured it out that there is a law that every single bride- to- be within a fifty mile radius of the P&L district is required to have their bachelorette there, they're also required to be decked out in penis attire, as well. I'm pretty sure that the people who have the most fun at the bars in this district are the 19 year olds who managed to slip in and the fifty year old men who stare at them. I almost didn't get in because I didn't meet the dress code, appantly some sort of Ed Hardy gear is a requirent at Power and Light. Luckily I was carrying a jeweled tiger Ed Hardy belt in my purse so I quickly put that on and was allowed in.
