So, let's start with the game.
It was a great game. We won big, even though the team we played also only had one loss. The student section was not as good as the game against Keystone Oaks that I went to earlier in the season, but it still was pretty good. Much better than the one game I went to my freshman year. Although J insists that I was not part of it, I say that I was a part of it, just not part of the crazy people who decided that they needed to cheer even when there was no reason whatsoever.
Also, I got to see RH, which was nice, who I haven't seen since last school year, if only briefly. Although I spent most of the game with KR and her friends, I did watch the very end with KM, as MC and co. started getting even more crazy than the fans cheering "Drive Home Safely!" All in all, I have no regrets going to the game. Not one.
And now, to explain why I didn't go to the dance:
The homecoming dance has a pretty bad reputation at QVHS. The past three years, I've felt no inclination to go, and I couldn't have gone last year even if I wanted to. I can't say too much, as I've never been there, but nothing persuaded me to go.
The only reason I would have had to go this year would have been because it was my senior year, and my last chance to get the experience. But honestly, I don't feel like I'm missing out. The more I asked around, the less and less of my friends were going, and I think that was what finally convinced me in the end.
And that's not a bad thing. One always shares similar beliefs and attitudes with your friends. Their judgement should reflect yours.
Hopefully, I'll go to prom. But we'll worry about that when the time comes.
