Clueless

Well the high school homecoming season is upon me tonight. I thought I would share some of my stories and thoughts on such activities. I only remember going to three dances while I was in high school. The fist one I went to was prom my sophomore year. I went with a senior after she expressed interest. She was practically living at my parents house, because she lived so far away and played on the basketball team with my freshman aged sister. I had my afro at the time. I didn't go to any post-prom parties and spent the first half of the day working at our greenhouse. I had heard some rumors that she had just broken up with her boyfriend, but I was really disinterested in doing anything with anyone. After prom all I remember is going home and going to bed. She probably went to a party and partied hard or something. I was clueless to any social scene in high school anyways.

I can't remember going to any dances with any dates my junior year of high school. I probably stayed home and played video games those nights.

My senior year went a little better. I asked a friend out for homecoming and we went and had a good time. I dropped her off at her house after the dance and went home. The next morning at CCD, I went over some of the details of my date and said I wasn't really interested in dating her. By the time prom rolled around, one of the guys from my CCD class was dating her, and they are now married. So if nothing else, I gave a friend the courage to pursue this girl after he seen my inaction combined with a lack of disinterest. I already talked about my senior prom date and how my sister likely blackmailed her boyfriend into getting me a date with a person who is now an art teacher.

My freshman year of college, I almost asked a girl if she would take me as her date to her high schools prom. We were decent friends as it was, but I never got up the courage. We rode together to some type of overnighter at the maysville YMCA. She was going to go with her twin brother, who was my sisters ex boyfriend by about two years at that time. I had a thought in my mind that she might like to not go with her brother, but never acted on it. We both ended up going to OSU and very few of my ag college friends believed that I knew her back in high school. She filled out a lot between her senior year of high school and freshman year of college, and became much more attractive. I remember seeing her once at the fair once when I was about 15 or 16. She could have passed for a 5th or 6th grader at the time, she was incredibly small and skinny. I had no idea who she was for the longest time.

Well anyways that is the extent of my high school romantic dance experience. I was really disinterested and never had enough gumption to make life better for myself anyways.
