Vacation from Vacations

Traveling all the time is a very exhilarating experience! But at the same time, extremely tiring (it's hard to keep track of the time when you constantly jump time zones and sleep half the days at your destination...TRUST me...) and capable of bringing on a strong case of homesickness. In continuation of this thought, i have decided to periodically take a break from my travels and keep my current thoughts down on my blog instead. An "Vacation from Vacations" diary, if you will. With this in mind, i will be taking a vacation away from my vacations...perhaps a very long extended vacation from my daily vacations. And if that confused you at all, don't worry, you're not alone...

Recently, it was our school's homecoming week.

In all honesty, the spirit days had about the same equivalence of creativity as a a peanut butter and jelly sandwich: NONE. Okay i get "green and gold" day, but "tye-dye day"? "crayon day"? and seriously... "NEON DAY"? Who in their right mind would own a pair of bright neon-green pants?? They were all pretty much "WEAR YOUR HIDEOUSLY COLORED SHIRT DAY! YAY US!"

no. please. just stop right there. You show me 100 guys that own a legitimate tye-dyed shirt and would actually remember to wear it on the corresponding day. What's that? You can't?
....such a shame.

So yes, the spirit week lacked CREATIVE spirit. But what about the football game??

The minute you walked in Kingston stadium and saw the opposing school's student section, you wondered why they were even there at all. Like in all honesty, why did they even have a student section? There were maybe 40 people. Okay, I'll be generous and give them 42 so they won't look as minuscule... But man, would i be intimidated if i was sitting on their side overlooking the rousing balloon-wielding, green and gold wearing, s** toy doll tossing student section that was (insert name of my school here) High!! And, it didn't hurt that our band rocked as usual, and our cheerleaders and dance team were spectacular! Oh, and also our footballers who actually played the game.....hehehe.

Okay so (lack of) Spirit week? Check. Creaming the opposing team at our homecoming football game? Check. All that's left? THE DANCE.

Okay so this is an interesting subject for me because this past homecoming dance was quite an interesting one....

Alrightie so this situation involves Friends A,B,C,D,E,F, and G. I would go into depth about it, but i feel as though that would be invading their private lives, which they would not be too happy with me about, so i guess i will have to leave it at that...But in general, i noticed that the trend of "well he/she is not going, so I'm not going" or "well i wont have a date so, why bother?" or "no sorry, i can't go with you guys because i do have a date" or "yeaaaaaah. I conviently won't be in-town so, nope." or "well ninjasurfer, if it is just you and your date, so, i wouldn't want to be the third wheel (which i gladly accepted)" or "no. I don't want to go. It's stupid." was very high this year. Okay, i guess those are all respectable answers, expect for maybe the last one. Or so i thought..........
