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.
Here are mine:
Eat less
Excersise more
Be nicer to everyone (or try)
Concentrate in science
Watch Tv and surf the net less
These are some of the reasons I want to get out of America. Were like the most idiotic race out there.
1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
4. Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
9. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'
. 10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM's with Braille lettering.
11.Only in America.....Will you go to a restraunt in seaworld and ask for bandaids and get mayonise

------------------ In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. ( that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
On a bag of Fritos:! ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special)?
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and.. .I'm taking this because???....)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.) (Ok, It was supposed to be translated as " to be used for intended use only" basically what it means is don't use your food processor as a wood chipper people. lol)
On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
