Gangsta Dance Over the Rainbow

I have yet to write about Homecoming number one for various reasons. However, you'll hear about them in another blog. Ohhh...yes, it's going to be a good one. You can count on it.

Kent was decked out in a pinstriped suit. It was sharp :) Haha. His mom is great at pickout out flowers. It was by far the prettiest corsage I've ever recieved. Now, it's chillin' in the fridge. No, that's not meant to be taken as a joke.

I met some rather animated and colorful friends of Kent's early in the night. Shrimp and spinach salad at Applebees. Mmmm! Haha. His mom and grandma came inside to make all three couples take pictures in the midst of a packed, chaotic prehomecoming evening at the resturaunt. It was humorous to say the least :) However, it wasn't quite as entertaining as the Homecoming theme. "Follow the Yellow Brick Road."

The gym was so stinkin' hot! Before long, I started looking around, and people were stripping in the middle of the floor. It was great. No race wars broke out like I had expected. The school has had people arrested every day for the past week over these "racial scuffles" that have been taking place on campus. However, none of the fights have been over race. Funny how "nigger" is perfectly fine to say in everyday conversation when people are getting along, but as soon as an argument breaks out, the mention of it automatically turns it into a race based issue. As a sidenote, the homecoming king was white and the queen was black :) They had their slow dance to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Hahaha.

Kent knows all these gangsta dances. It was great. He's going to teach me sometime soon. Haha, Jackie and I are going to do them all at her Homecoming this weekend. I mean that in all seriousness. It's only 'cause we rock. Duh.

Afterwards, we headed to his friend Ranzie's house. She's a fun girl. Most of the people there were friends of Kent's from church, so I had met most of them already. We ate pizza and donuts. Yes, quite the combo :) People played pool and on the Xbox. Lots of music, lots of clean fun. The best kind. It reminded me of all my FCC get togethers. Haha, tons of Ultimate Pictionary and Ultimate Frisbee. Mmm...I miss kids.

But, I suppose I'll get over it. I'll be missing tons more by the end of December. However, the move will help me out a ton in the long run. I need to get away from a lot that's been weighing me down around here. Hmm....things could be tons better if Homecoming were every night.

"Walk it out" erryyyy night. mmmmm!
