The Rantings of a Roving Reporter

I don't know what concerns me more, the fact that Angelus has been accused of killing Kitty Pryde, or the fact that Veronica didn't come home last night, and I haven't been able to track her down.

This is just turning out to be the best day ever.

It seems like there are a lot of people who don't really know what Homecoming is. I guess those of us who came from normal...Earth-based...similar places where Homecoming is a regular occurrence have just taken for granted the fact that we know what's being planned. So, for those of you who haven't experienced a Homecoming dance before, let me give you a little rundown:

-Every Homecoming dance has a theme. You're supposed to dress up according to the theme if you can, but if you can't, it's okay, because usually the theme requires you to dress a little oddly, and if you're dressed normally, you can mock everyone else.

-Another given for Homecoming dances is that there's usually a table of food, and a bowl of punch that gets spiked with various forms of liquor before the evening is over. If you're trying to stay sober, bring your own drinks.

-The attendees of Homecoming dances can be generally broken into three groups - people with dates, who can usually be found towards the center of the room, dancing or rubbing up against each other in a sexual manner while pretending to dance, girls without dates, who will be clustered up in one corner of the room, and guys without dates, who will be clustered up in the opposite corner from the girls. Note that the last two groups will never exist in the same space.

-Just as a warning, girls who go to Homecoming with dates are usually expected to perform some sort of sexual act in return for not being made to stand in the corner with the rest of the single women. However, if you happen to go to the dance with a decent guy, or one who's secretly gay, you can get out of this if you want to. I prefer option #2, because gay guys are much easier to find.

I'm sure there's more than can be added to this list, but that's really all I can think of right now.

I will not say anything to Alex about being in his bunk. I will not, I will not. Instead, I will use my time wisely, to try to figure out why hot guys make me want to do things that will cause me to look like a complete and total idiot.

*sits, sipping her cup of coffee, and watches the drunk students come shuffling back in* Yeah, looks like I didn't miss much. *snickers and fights the urge to turn on loud music*

This place is absolutely amazing. Forget the Wall of Weird - I'm going to need an entire Room of Weird to keep track of everyone I've encountered here.

Class-wise, I'm taking:

Combat Journalism (Should I be afraid of my teacher or be worshiping him?)

Advanced Negotiations (I can already tell that this teacher is going to be the nicest adult I encounter all year)

Biology (Based on Ms. Sidle's background, I think this class will come in very handy in the future)

Classics (...why did I sign up for an 8am class? I will definitely be needing coffee for this one)

And I'm working on the student newspaper, of course, because my life would not be complete without that kind of activity. I still feel like I'm not doing enough though. Maybe I should look at more extracurricular activities. I don't know if I can be social without having a specific reason to be. But, I have managed to make a new friend, so that's a much better start than I've had before.
