friday the thirteenth

today was homecoming. all afternoon i was planning on going to john d. 's concert instead of homecoming. mainly because i had told him i was gonna go and cause homecoming wasnt even gonna be at faith, itd be at some other school i had no idea where it was. plans change i guess. about 4 my mom called me and asked me to not only pick up rachel from practice, but take her to homecoming. i reluctantly agreed. knowing in the back of my mind that i had to be at sacrid grounds at 8. but i figure if im gonna have to go all the way to homecoming then i might as well stay for a little bit and socialise. so i end up staying there and talking to various people for awhile, then i find that the cerimonies might be at a time where i could stay and watch and still get to johns concert, not too late.

so before you know it, i was sitting there and mr lambeth started calling out the girls,, i was comitted to stay. i was really glad i did. the cerimony was simple enough but it was just kewl to see the girls all out there in thier dresses and listening to the stuff about them. the three senior girls were rebecca, jenni, and stephanie. after it was all over i was running kinda behind but i wanted to talk to the girls real quick. turns out as i got back there i stumbled upon a photoshoot. the girls posiong wiht eachother and thier fathers. it happened that they were taking pictures against the hall wall and the photographer was in a little outcrop on the other side (giving him more distance than just the width of the hall) well somehow i wandered into that outcrop and was immediatly trapped by all the girls, thier fathers, and all the masses of mothers posing them and prepping them for the pictures. me and tirzah seemed to be the only "friends" there. we felt a little out of place. so because i was trapped i had to wait till they were all done, and then i only got the chance to tell rebecca cangradulations and all that good stuff. (wich again, was made immencly difficult because i couldnt hear a thing anyone was saying) then i was off to sacrid grounds.

after a short stop by a train i walked into the place just before the opening prayer. so i didnt miss any of it (they usually start late i shoulda known) i sat in the back and just listened to his songs while most of the other people were standing up front clapping and dancing and whatnot. there were alot of people there and it seemed an all around good performance. i enjoyed it immencly. then afterwards i talked to john for a min and he asked if i wanted to go to ihop with some of his friends, but i couldnt cause i had to go to school for the "after party" deal for homecoming. so with that i left for school.

i got there way too early. there weree about 15 people total, including the people working with the food, so it was kinda boring. i stood around and watdched some spirit week videos and talked to trenton about spirit week stuff for about 20 min. then everybody came. i got to talk to jenni and rebecca again about the homecoming stuff but i didnt see stephanie. then we stood around and i saw all the costumes that i missed while i was sick. it started to be real loud so i ouldnt hear and no one could hear me appearently cause me being deaf makes me talk soft. go figure that one for a sec.

adrienne rebecca jordan chris and i ended up going to steak and shake where i distictly asked if anyone was getting fries. they said no. so i said, if i get a platter with two sides of fries, will you guys eat one? they said yes. somehow we all ended up with our own fries and i was left with the two platters. i had alot of fun dont get me wrong, but it would have been so much more fun if i wasnt coughing the whole time and i could actually hear what people were saying. details right? well we all ened up staying a little two late and rebecca chris and i were late for home. so we all headed off.

so i was driving home from everything when all of a sudden this vw bug comes and cuts through the first side of 26 and pulls out right in front of me. i had to swerve littereally to avoid getting in what would have been a real big wreck. so as i swerved around them, somehow i managed to get a glimpse of familliar curly hair in the passengers seat along with a terrified look on whosever's face. (proply would have been the first person to get killed) so after i made my way around them i slow down so they could get up next to me. and sure enough, riding in the passengers seat is john with his friends pulling out of the ihop restaruant. it was the most random one in a million chance of happening, but at the same time it made perfect sence. we both had a good laugh once we realised who the other person was.
