Well as most of you know, my [middle] school hosted one of it's first school dances. It was Hollywood themed, but not many people dressed up Hollywood. At the dance, there was a nice stereo system, some spotlights.. and for the real Hollywood stuff, the student council put up the white "HOLLYWOOD" sign on some green paper, and posted it on the wall near the restrooms. They put up some well known street signs of Hollywood behind the gym bleachers, too, including Rodeo Drive, Vine Street, and Sunset Boulevard. I don't know if it's true, but wasn't Sunset Boulevard or Rodeo Drive mentioned in Drake & Josh Go Hollywood? To finish it all up, there was a red carpet by the doorway. On each side, there were little stars, and on them, the teachers listed all middle school students. It was neat.

So this is what sucked. The dance started at 6:00PM. I got there around 6:15PM. I didn't really get onto the dance floor much until 8:30PM. But at least I got to dance. With someone. With someone I like. After playing like 5-10 straight fast rock and or rap songs, my friend Chance finally asked for a slow, country song. When it came on, I asked Chance if he could ask Marisa to dance for me. SHE SAID YES! Though, I shouldn't really make too much of a big deal of it. She danced with about everyone there. Plus, I have never danced before. Yeah. Go ahead and laugh. Laugh your guts out then I will continue...

Finished yet? Okay, let's continue. So I was really confused when we started dancing. When we were doing the two-step, I never knew which way we would step next, so I just started walking around, and it would be so awkward when Marisa would go the other way, and I was fooled because I thought we were going the other way. Anyways, the first time, we talked a little bit. She asked when I started liking her.. (which was since last October) ...and I told her how this was the greatest night of my life and then she started laughing.

In fact, after that first dance, I was trying to call my parents and tell them to stay home. But then, I realized my phone didn't work. So I tried Emily's cell phone, and it didn't work either, so I guess cell phones didn't get a signal out there. And even worse, when the principal asked me who I was trying to call, and I said my parents, he pointed to the corner, and they were already there.

Dammit!!

So then I asked Marisa to dance again, and we danced for the final slow song of the night. When my parents saw. Oh, and my sister saw. Of all people, why did they have to bring my sister? She's even worse than my parents, because she doesn't know when she is embarassing me so if she says something about me liking Marisa out loud, AAHHH!!! I just want to slap her silly!

So finally, after the last dance, we hugged, for the second of four times. My folks and sister saw that too, dammit.

When we began to leave, Marisa and Iyla were at the door. Marisa was giving out, "free hugs" to everybody who left. When I went outside, and she hugged me, I wanted to run back in and run out again, and again, and again... just to get another hug from Marisa.

Then in the van, my parents told me and Andrew (Andrew was with us because we were taking him home) that we could go back inside and hang out for a while if we wanted to, so we did. We helped the student council clean up a bit, and finally at the end, Marisa ran over to hug me and Barret, as she was going home. Barret let go, but I wouldn't, until she said, "Okay Matthew, you got to let go now..." And when we started back for home, (I have horrible eyes.. 24/40 vision) but I recognized Marisa first, in the dark, standing around in a restaurant (if I gave restaurant name, someone may hack me and find out where I live) parking lot and I banged on the window and begged my parents to go park, but they didnt. DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!!!

IT IS MARCH 2008 already, and we have a smashed mailbox. That is why you don't want to live where I live, because the crime rate is just pitiful. We got it smashed probably around 1-4AM yesterday. Also, I am back to working on Club Chillin, my Gamespot Union, so if you soon get an invitation to join, please do! Anyways, Happy March everyone!

Question of the Day XXI: Does your school usually have a dance?
MY ANSWER: I don't think so... I haven't heard of them having any of the whole time I've attended. This might of been our first school dance.

Video/Music Video of the Day:
Another blog regular, the music video of the day... has to do with last night's dance. How did the song, "Cyclone" end up here? Well, funny story... there is a little corner in the gym that has a spotlight on the ground aiming at it, where you can take photos. When the song, "Cyclone" was being played, Chance brought up a point, "It says 'cyclone', so I'm going to spin!" Then some others started spinning in circles, and Johnathon, and awkward seventh grader, started twirling around the spotlight, and he bumped into it and it fell over, the light broke, and then it started to smoke for a bit!

So anyways, things started sucky, and ended out great. I LOVE MARISA! Oops, I just had to say that.

Hate Mexican food so can someone please tell me if I spelled "enchilada" right?

Well everytime I seem to blog, I want to write more of what has happened, but I have never had the time, so let's see if we can catch up in this blog.

On February 15th, 2008, Brady broke up with Marisa. I was planning on asking Marisa out to the dance later the next week, but my friend, Chance, called up later that Friday night and offered to ask Marisa right then for me.. she said no.

The next Friday, February 22nd.. I asked her out myself, at 7:00PM exact. She said she would have to think about it. A little more than two hours, later, a little after 9:15PM she called back and told me. She said no again. And you should of listened to her... "Matthew, I've made up my decision... I've decided that I don't want to go to the dance - with you." That really upset me. Again. And it makes me realize how stupid I was not to listen to a lot of you guys here on TV.com to get over Marisa and Iy.. well, Iyla, I've been over for for a long time. In fact, I believe I was drunk the day I asked her out...

The next day, on the 23rd of February, we had our game. After going 6-1 in the regular season, we battled it out with "Wrong" Transportation in the first round of the playoffs, who had gone undefeated, I believe, in the regular season.

We lost.

This was even worst than our 34-12 loss to Village Custom Homes.. the final score here was 42-9. WE LOST BY THIRTY-THREE POINTS, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!! We finished the season 6-2, same as last year... I played the point guard on defense some, like I did in our season finale 13-9 win over Herring Homes.

Do you ever think your clasmates can be retarded sometimes??

The Mon.. Tuesday after I first asked Marisa out, my birthday, on the 19th of February, we were walking into the regular school building from second period (Band) to third period (Computer Lab) when Iyla started joking at me, saying, "Gee, Matthew... what, are you gonna ask every girl in school out to the dance?"

Then they laughed, for no reason.. only two girls, really, and it should of only been one girl.

Then they made some crap up about I should go ask Morgan out. Eh, Morgan is nice, but not really really interested in her. She is listed in my cell phone, as "Hanger Upper", though. Take a lucky guess why.

But the whole thing was just a bunch of crap.

Then earlier this week, when most of everybody in my grade knew I didn't like like Morgan, they asked her out for me, like I actually liked her.. and thank goodness, she said no. And then I heard Iyla say... "Wow, Matthew is getting denied by everybody!!"

Damn Retards.

And that is it for this blog. I wrote most of this yesterday, and it was supposed to be published yesterday, but I didn't have enough time.

Has this been happening to anyone else?

Two days ago, I was at Level 37, 80%... after barely doing anything that day, I advanced to Level 38, 92%... and today, I just got on here after my Internet wasn't working all day, and most of yesterday afternoon... Level 40, 2%!!

Well??

So I skipped over Fonzerelli and I am Bewitched. Wow...

It's so unrealistic, it seems to be a glitch, but if it is.. don't tell the TV.com moderators.. I like the constant leveling up huge numbers!

This is a short blog.. didn't take me much time to write, and it shouldn't anyway. I have to go take a shower now. Bye.

Yeah, so we finished the regular season, 6-1, and will be going into the playoffs at the number two seed in the National Conference, and will be playing Right Transportation, the top seed in the American Conference in the first round of the playoffs. Oh yeah.. the score? 13-9.. Pitiful, but at least we got the win.

Billy, our coach, switched me to defend the point guard this time, unlike previous games in which I guard the paint as the "4" position. I like playing up in da' front vs. the point guard.

Hopefully we'll finish 8-1.. AKA winning the championship.

So as most of you know, Tuesday was my birthday. I wasn't on because we went to go watch my sister in her basketball game at 6:30PM, finish around 7:30, go to the mall to play in the arcade, and eat some pizza.. at 8:35PM, go see a movie called, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins. The movie was about two hours long, and we had to go on this weird route to get to a gas station, and then travelling out of the city limits, and 45 miles back to our hometown, where we dropped off my cousin, Andrew, (he was with me the whole day) then get home and fall to sleep at around midnight, but a little later. I had gotten to go home early, but I had to finish a science project, so nope, I didn't get to get on TV.com that day. Sorry guys!

Oh yeah, and last week, Friday, on the 15th, the day my dad got home from the hospital and the day following Valentine's Day, Brady and Marisa broke up. Not really "broke up", but Brady dumped Marisa. And worst for him, all the older girls were complaining to him all day about, "Why did you break up with her..? Why do you have to be so mean??"

Yeah, so that obviously got very annoying. Later that night, Chance called up, and I mentioned taking advantage of the fact Marisa is single now. He offered to ask her out for me, to the dance, but she said no.

So I'm going to try myself tomorrow evening.

Laters,
~Matt~

I will be writing a blog later today when I get home from our last Ralph Wilson basketball game of the regular season. Whether we win or lose, we are still headed to the playoffs. We are favored to win.. our opponents we are facing today suck.

So, like a lot of people have done, I've been tagged today. Three times. By Nicole, Love_ya24, and Coaster. So the "tag message" says to make a blog and list five interesting things about yourself. Here it goes.

--------------------

1. I hate a lot of chocolate. What would you expect if you offered a kid a Snickers Bar, or a stick of broccoli? You would expect for them to take the chocolate. I would take the broccoli.

2. I am very warm blooded. I have never worn blue jeans for a whole day (not including Athletics) this whole school year.

3. I live in the birth place of LaDainian Tomlinson.

4. My home is about ten miles away from a small town called Tomlinson Hill, named after the Tomlinsons.

5. I like gum. Last Christmas, when I went to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side at my uncle John's house, I chewed so much gum, my head was starting to feel aweful before time to leave.

Yeah, so some interesting facts, I guess. I will have a bigger blog later tonight, after we get home from my basketball game. And here is another special trivia!

The last time I have posted two blogs in one day was September 15th, 2007.

Bye for now people!
