Opening Song: "Rumors" - Lindsay Lohan
REWIND back to Thursday. Auditions for the school musical (The Sound Of Music) were held after-school. So I linked up with Rice Lady, Zach (the guy Carolyn tricked into auditioning), Nicole, and Amy as they all tried to convince Zach to sing something on command. Early on, Rice Lady suddenly remembered that she had to look up some lyrics before the Media Center was locked up. So... we raced each other in a speedwalking Battle to the Death--I won! (Boo-yah!) While I was typing away in the Media Center, we both realized something: We left Zach ALONE!!
"Oh No!" "He's gonna get away!" "We should've told somebody to watch him!" Just as we were about to abandon the media center and run back to the auditorium, Zach magically walks through the doorway, wanting to look up lyrics for some song called "Mr. Mom" by Lonestar. Once we returned to the lobby, Brittany's little sister asked me to do a flip so I did some more monkey flips in the hallway. Good times. Then I spent a little time bonding with Colleen before explaining my twisted relationship with Rice Lady to Zach (who just didn't get it).
But then again, he didn't get a lot of things. When Carolyn practiced her Mariah Carey song with the headphones on, her singing voice totally changed so he said, "You're joking, right? You don't mean to sound like that?" I lightly kicked him in the ankle with my "ass-kicking boots" (you know, 'cause they're round at the top) so he'd get the hint and shut up. But he didn't. SO I kicked a little harder! He said, "Ow. You kicked me," and kept on asking her stupid stuff. Nobody messes with my Rice Lady but ME! (and maybe Bill)
EJ dropped by during the auditions. He told us about his new boyfriend, who is 27 years old. *intrigued look* No offense to him, but "What kind of lonely, homely 27 year-old wants to date someone under 18 years old?!" Hopefully, a nice, mentally stable one. He let me know about Janelle's party and convinced me to go there after Marianne's party. I figured I should go to both, you know, since I didn't go a-caroling with Carolyn on Wednesday, I might as well go a-partying with everybody.
I think my audition went pretty well. The songs I performed were: Hey Jude (The Beatles) and Talking to My Angel (Melissa Etheridge). I was supposed to sing a Michael Jackson song too, but surprisingly (or not) it was too high for me to try and sing. Mainly because it's Michael Jackson and he adds in all that Shimone and Hee-Hee every other word!
After staying an extra hour to give Rice Lady some morale support, we went outside to wait for her sister with the car. Up in the sky, over the horizon, we saw search lights coming from Janelle's direction, like someone sent up the Bat signal. But we figured that if it was hers it probably wouldn't be a bat, but a giant nipple. Now that would be a sight to see. At 6PM, I finally went home and slept... for 2 hours. Then, I had fixed myself some soup, hopped into the shower, did a little manscaping, put on my most flexible outfit and headed out to Marianne's. Figured I'd swing by there for about an hour before going over to Janelle's.
When I walked into Sparky's house, I thought I was in Willy Wonka's Factory... well, actually it looked more like his sweatshop. Geoff was slaving away over the hot stove and the guests were having a gingerbread building contest. It was scary; every clean-cut kid I've known in high school was there! In other words, it was the first time I've gone to a party and seen these people... the people I see in my academic classes everyday. Kinda creepy.
Walking through the other rooms, I started to get the feeling that they had been drinking SOMETHING before I got there. Jeff was louder than usual and Thiago (the exchange student) rolled up on me in a panic like a mental patient, waving around a red _____, screaming "James, what is this object?! Its name?! What is its title?! WHAT?!" Dude, take it down a notch. It's a "cup" and there are more over there. But the scariest part of the evening was when I picked up one of the cookies that Geoff was baking and as I was about to put it in my mouth, I realized something... this is MEAT!
That's right, MEAT! Not a cookie. In case you don't remember, I'm a vegetarian, so stuff like that is a big deal to me. I just hope I didn't offend Geoff when I tossed the greasy little entree back into the pan. Close call!
To spice things up a bit, I brought the music video reels from my Halloween Party and the kids really liked it! As I always say, "A party just isn't a party 'til Britney's on the screen." The highlight of the party was going down to the basement to go through the vault of old, dusty, "vintage" board games like The Newlywed Game (from 1967), Scrabble, and even, *cough* The War between the States. All in all, pretty good party full of good, clean fun.
Okay, after that I scurried on over to Janelle's house party so I could "slut it up," as usual. I walked through the door and Jamal said, "You just missed the tickle orgy!" God, I miss this. So, I made my entrance downstairs and got my hoots and my hollers, which I really appreciate. Let's see, Shannon, Autumn, Jamie, EJ, Mil-ton, Smitty, and Dennis were among the guests. Under my Blue-2-White Shirt I wore a little fishnet shirt that was riding up the entire night. And I'm happy to report that my belly button was the life of the party. Hahahahaha--HOT! Glad I shaved.
Over there, we watched the Invader Zim XMAS Special on DVD ("Hail Santa!") and played the most hilarious, over-the-top game I've seen in awhile, Rumble Roses. It's an all-female wrestling game featuring every male (and female) fantasy as fighters. Even those of you who like android lovin' will find something in this game. It was embarrassing to watch the entrances. In one of 'em, this girl is walking to the ring and out of nowhere, a stripper pole appears and she twirls around for minutes (in SLOW MOTION!). Hilarious!
Later the subject of Todd just happened to come up (no idea how) but for once, I actually could put a face with the name. John had brought him to the Honor Society cult meeting, and he was NOT (at all) what I had anticipated. Oh well. And although EJ put on his brave face while discussing it, I know he was hurting inside. You could just hear it in his voice (he was always fond of that John character). Personally, I'm clueless as to why he'd cling to someone who treated him like a subhuman for YEARS. I just hope he'll have better luck with his new beau.
Even though I could only stick around for an hour, it was a very good party. Good stuff. And since it's getting late, I'll end it here and pick up again whenever. What did I learn on Thursday? I learned that I can still blend in with different social settings without having to change my behavior. I changed my clothes! But that's just because I didn't want to draw TOO much attention to myself there. Oh yeah, and I've still got it! Why AM I still single?! Arrgh! I ask myself that every time I get out of the shower and check myself out in the mirror, and it's always the same answer: Because you want to be. That is true, I always seem to have a lot less fun when I'm dating a girl. For now, I'll stick to flirting.
