Friday (Part II)

So after the pep rally, we started homecoming dance decorations in the cafeteria. I left at 5:30 to go home and eat. I came back at 6:30 because Marcus was taking Priscilla, Mai, and I to the game. We were like 6 minutes late, but Marcus and I rushed to the where the choir was right before we walked in. Then they announced the homecoming nominees, and Kristoddie and Jessica won king and queen.
When were done singing, we went to go sit by Mai and Priscilla. The game was fun, even though I think football is stupid. I found myself being the average American, yelling and screaming when they missed passes and cheering loudly when we got a touch down. It was my first ever football game. But were playing rivals so something was bound to go down.
During half time, as South's band was walking by, some idiots on our side were throwing things at them. Which is really stupid and disrespectful. Then a guy on South's team got hurt. He wasn't moving for a looong time and it was scary because everyone thought he was dead. An ambulance came onto the field and took him away. When a player gets hurt, you're supposed to be quiet and sit down. But some of the idiotic black ghetto hoes at the top decided to be ignorant and keep standing and making noise. "Why we gotta be quiet DANGG" "Laquisha, gurrrlll, give me my damn hot dog, shit!" I guess they were raised on the streets. I told my friends this is why no one likes black people. lol. Priscilla and I are African Americans, but those black Americans are really annoying and ignorant.
Anyway, our players played a good game, but we lost, 17 to 31. I walked away cussing angrily cause we lost, but as we were all walking away, a fight broke out on the field. According to my friend Janet who is a varsity cheerleader, South's football team thought one of our players Valerian attacked Jorge, the guy who was taken away in the ambulance, and like 8 of them beat him up. I was pissed as hell because it looked like our football team was just standing there amidst the chaos. Our administration was running around the field trying to stop the fighting, the coaches almost got into it with the other coaches, and it was all just crazy. When we got to the parking lot I was pissed as hell, cussing out South and our players that weren't helping Valerian. It was a crazy night.

And that's why I decided not to go to Homecoming. It was all too crazy. Our school showed how classless we were on Friday. I heard the homecoming dance was the best one yet. It was going to be my first and homecoming dance, but I don't care. In a way I regret not going, but whatever. What was there to come home to? Our students are just plain classless and I don't wanna "get down" with them. Who would want to? Besides, there's always Legacy and Prom. I don't know about Legacy, but I am DEFINITELY going to prom. No doubt about it.

So in conclusion, we are deeply screwed on Monday. Our principal and administration are probably going to take a lot of our priviliges away and chew us up and spit us out. I personally believe that the class of 2011 basically just gave the principal a reason to hate us even more. It's a shame, really. Homecoming week was fun and crazy, but I'm glad it's over. I just can't wait to get the hell out of high school and go on and do bigger and better things.

Summing up Friday (Part I)

So Friday was Code blue, right? We all wore blue, we showed our support at the homecoming pep rally. The game against South was that night. Of course I had to go, because being in A Cappella, we had to sing the national anthem. Anyway. The pep rally went well. Priscilla, Mai, and I had to carry our NHS float to present. Other organizations presenting their floats were Earth United, FCCLA, HOSA, AVID, and 2 others. But we won (yay!) The seniors won the spirit link contest. The spirit link contest is where all four classes donate money to their class and whoever has the most money wins the contest. My class, 2011, won, so we got our money plus everyone else's money to go towards our prom. Our class president donated 300 dollars, and one girl donated 80, plus others, so of course we won. The senior class got second place in the homecoming hallway decorations contest. So that was great.

Anyway, during the pep rally, there were skits and the cheerleaders, drill team, and minutemen did their shit, and the band and the color guard. And then four of our varsity football players had a request from four freshmen: Teach Me How to Dougie. Ayyee. So the four of them did their little dougie dance, and got crunk. Then the four freshmen did theirs, the two black kids did it right. The one white guy was funny but still got applauded, then the mixed girl didn't know what the hell she was doing. But it was funny. So the whole pep rally was hella entertaining.

Priscilla and I felt awesome being on the floor where all the important people stood. lol. Then we got to walk around during max duty without being interrogated by teachers. So it was cool.
Part II coming later.

Tacky Day, homecoming floats, and hall decorations.

So today was Tacky Day. It was a pretty good day. Of course you had the people that go over-the-top and made ya laugh. One being one of my best buddies, Priscilla and my friend Rashad.

Others took a milder approach. Like Mai and I. I decided not to go all out this year. But it was fun, nonetheless.

Me ------->







It was a funny day. But I stayed at school til about 10:30 pm, helping with homecoming things. Right after school we started working on our NHS homecoming float to present at the homecoming pep rally. I'm hoping we win. It started out hideous at first, but then ended up looking pretty darn fabulous, for the materials we had. We worked on that until about 8 pm.



<------- Our float. Don't get it confused with a huge, beautiful, parade float. We had to work with some wagon cart thing that will pushed. It took us hours to make. The palm trees look beautiful, and as you can see, we have lots of glitter, and all those frilly, grassy things at the bottom? Yeah, I did that. And that's my umbrella too. lol. I had to call Ashley and recruit her to come help, and as our "honorary officer", she did just that. It was totally nice of her to take time out of her day to come help us.



But homecoming hall decorations for our class took a long time too. The officers and a few others had been working on it since school ended. Then Mai, Ben, Christina, Sela and I went over to help them, since we had just finished our float. The theme for homecoming is Beyond Paradise, so we made a sun, a beach with surfboards and an umbrella, some palm trees, a sailboat, and a waterfall. It ended up looking great.

So. It's 11:23 pm, I'm exhausted, and my ass is going to bed.

Spirit Week

So this week is Spirit Week for Homecoming week and it's been really fun so far.
Monday was Nerd Day, Tuesday was Blast from the Past, and today was supposed to be College Day, but we, as defiant seniors, decided to do Pink Out for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

So the homecoming nominees for king are: Tee Jay, Matt, Valerian and Kristoddie (as always), and someone else..I forgot who.

The homecoming nominees for queen are: Jessica, Leslie, Janet, Tymbria, Jasmine, and Kiara.

The homecoming game is this Friday, and we're playing against the colonels, and we're so gonna get creamed. Then the dance is on Saturday. So my last year of high school is the first time I'll ever go to a high school football game...or any football game for that matter. And it's the first time I'll ever go to a homecoming dance. Or any school dance, for that matter. I'm doing all this because it's my senior year and I want the experience. My older brother and sister didn't take senior pictures like I did, they weren't in clubs or organizations like I am, and they certainly didn't care for games or dances. So I'm going with my own flow for my senior year.
I promised myself I'd make my senior year rock, and dammit, that's what I'm gonna do. Despite the fact that the principal hates the class of 2011, and despite the fact that the school is overpopulated, what with the 710 freshmen, and despite the fact that there's Max Duty everyday after school this year.

Anyway. Nerd Day was hilarious. The boys had all these pocket protectors and pens and protracters and it was too funny. Kelton kept walking around saying "hi, I'm Carl" in Steve Urkel's voice.

<-----My friends lol




Blast from the Past was hilarious too. While most of us dressed as hippies and people from the 80s and 50s, some others went a different direction. One guy came as a 15th century king, Mickey came as a slave; overalls, no shirt, and straw hat; and his friend came as his slave owner. It was awesome. I was a 60s hippie, which was pretty cool. But I've had enough flower power for one day.

And of course, today was Pink Out. Seniors came late and did the fitness gram, then we sat in the gym for like 2 fucking hours, then we went to 4th period. My fourth period is choir and we went on a mini field trip to the stadium to practice singing the national anthem, since we'll be singing it at the homecoming game this Friday. Then we went to Cici's and had a blast laughing at everyone and talking about random stuff.
