Day 2 in the search for a homecoming date
I didn’t even see the girl I want to ask most. Maybe I’ll just go with Lindsay…

Day 1 in the search for a homecoming date.
Homecoming…is soon. And I don’t have a date. Why, do you say, does a dashing hunk like me not have a date? Well, truth be told I haven’t asked anyone yet. But it’s not my fault! The girls I do want to ask somehow managed to avoid me all day. Now, I don’t know if they actually tried to avoid me, but I didn’t get a chance to talk to either of them. And it just so happens that I don’t know either of their phone numbers. Gah.
I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve got to find one soon, before they’re all taken. Believe me, it’s happened before.
Sphere: Related ContentWell, Homecoming week was great. The class competitions were very, er, competitive and everything went off good. The lip syncs were the best in the time that I’ve been here and probably the best ever (except for the sophomores, but the fact that they’re sophomores excuses them). For those of you who don’t have the faintest idea of what I’m talking about, at the Burlington-Edison Homecoming assembly, all the classes perform skits to the music theme they’re given. For instance, this year’s seniors got “One-Hit Wonders” (including “Ice Ice Baby”, “Blue”, “The Macarena” and others). These skits range from hilarious (like this year’s seniors) or just pitiful (like last years sophomores). B-E people, you know what I mean about the latter. And then there was the Homecoming game. Awesome game until the second Sehome touchdown. Very close game even so. The first quarter passed with no score, very good defense on both sides. Second quarter, we got a field goal. It was mostly downhill from there. Sehome scored a touchdown, then we scored a touchdown, and they scored again. So in the last two minutes, it was 14-10 Sehome, B-E had the ball 30 yards from the end zone. They passed all four downs and only the skin-of-the-teeth fourth down pass was completed. That gained us about 10 or 15 yards for a first down. They did the exact same thing, only this time, we botched all four passes and Sehome got the ball on downs. They didn’t score again, but it was too late for us to do anything about it. You know, I think the last time B-E had a really good football team was back in the ’80s when we last won the King Bowl (the Washington State championships). And when Saxton Shearer left last year, well, it’s doubtful we’re going to state this year.
In other news, the marching band had a good parade and I read an 820 page book in about 5 days. No, really, nothing else has been going on. Except eating food, which I shall do right away ’cause it’s getting hard to hear the radio over the sound of my stomach growling.
