*takes deep breath* Well, I'm back on my desktop for the first time in weeks. It had to be completely wiped and reformatted - fortunately most of my writing was backed up on disk, and the computer people saved my music files and pictures for me. But it sucks, because I have to reinstall almost everything - Word, KeyNote, EditPad, probably my image manip stuff too. Not to mention go through and re-add stuff to Favorites and all that.

*sigh* You don't want to know how many viruses they pulled out of this baby.

The football team lost. Stupid football team. Jeez.

I'm endlessly fascinated by my friends who are still in HS making reference to team sports. It's like reliving my non-existent adolescence by proxy. *blink*

The computer thing sucks; I hope you can get your software & stuff back okay.

Remind me to talk about the Toga Gym Jam during Homecoming; I have the feeling it'd amuse you. Or the Mr. EHS competition. (which I should probably go to this year, huh?)

Our cheerleaders suck this year. Last year's were so much better, but all the good ones graduated.

Well, it's not screwing up yet. *prods* KeyNote and EditPad are up, but I still need to reinstall Word.

Heh, remind me to tell you about the Toga Gym Jam and the Mr. EHS competition when Homecoming rolls around. I have the feeling they'll amuse you slightly. (Band members! In togas! Without shirts! Uh, sometimes)

...duuude. That's... amazing. Wow. That totally beats out SPEDkid Karaoke.

I'm sure it totally freaks out the opposing volleyball team. *grin* Homecoming's held during a week when both a home football game and a home volleyball game are scheduled, and during the volleyball game is the Toga Gym Jam, where the band comes and plays for the one and only time at a volleyball game and the Ellensburg fans all wear togas. I lost my sheets last year. Still haven't gotten 'em back.

...public high school?

See, when I was still at HS (town's HS), I was so repulsed by school in general that homecoming-- if we'd had one, and I don't know that we did, and it's almost certainly not as huge as it is in a lot of places I don't think-- was just beyond my range.

But that sounds so damned cool.

Very public, apparently. Talk about airing one's dirty laundry (not yours necessarily; just everyone).

The trouble with being a SPEDkid in the private schools was that you were properly sequestered from the outside world. Smart of them, really.

I think it helps in that it's a small town, so there's not a big competition to become Homecoming Royalty - it's better to be Rodeo Royalty. One of the Senior Royalty last year actually was a Rodeo Princess. What else do we do? There's Casino Night, the Mr. EHS Competition, Battle of the Bands...Movie Night? I don't remember; I never went to any of these things, except for the Toga Gym Jam and the Homecoming Football Game. Which I had to go to, obviously, because of band. I should have gone to Mr. EHS; the guy I like took his shirt off for the swimsuit competition. Fortunately I still have a copy of the school newspaper that has that picture in it.

...what?

Well, we had clothes on underneath. A lot of the boys were pretty disappointed about the fact that since they were with the band, they couldn't take their shirts off. Even though they did anyway.
