I have nothing better to do, might as well give you the second update now.
I went to the first dance on the year last Thursday. I've been worried as hell that I would miss it due to work, but I didn't. Plus, even if I had to work, I am allowed to get someone to take my shift for any reason I want. So, that's no longer a worry. Me and my friends love to go to dances. Actually, just me and one of my friends. Usually, I have to hang out with just him unless a few others show up, which they usually don't.
Anyway, it was crowded as hell. The grade nines have completely infested the school. When the first slow song came on, something very unexpected happened. I was walking around, looking for someone to ask, when someone grabs my arm and asks me to dance. Odd enough, since girls asking guys has been rather uncommon lately. Even more odd, this was a girl in my grade, and I know most of them. I don't often dance with girls I know. Finally, to top the whole thing off, I go to class with this girl. She doesn't talk to me but knows who I am. She's one of the last people I'd expect to do that.
Did I mention she has a kid? Yep, she was pregnant last year. Man, she sure got her figure back awfully quick, having given birth 3 months ago. I ask "So, uh... you were in my class last year?" "Yep" Well, that confirms it. She was in my class last year. The song ends two seconds later, and says "Oh, well, I'll find you later, then" and leaves. Now I'm just freaked. Since when did she like me? She's got a pretty ugly face, I should add. Anyway, that fizzled out. She never bothered, despite running past me several times. I still have no idea why she asked me, but, oh well. A mystery, I guess, but I don't really want to know anyway. My conclusion? Stoned. Very stoned. It happens, some girls I know can act perfectly normal while high.
Also that night, this freaky girl I know told me and my friend to ask to save a dance for her. Yeah, okay, whatever, if I find you, I'll do it, but I didn't take it too seriously. Hell, she's usually too busy helping her firends who seem to have constant issues. My friend, however, took it seriously. He waited a couple times, but finally gave up, but he never got a chance to dance with anyone. He was furious, but is okay now. I had a couple other dances that night too, and the rest of the night was pretty good, althoughI felt really bad for my friend.
The next one is on the 16th of October. Can't wait, something werid ALWAYS happens at dances. I discovered this last year, I expect the unexpected, and boy, does it happen. Maybe I'll tell you one of the strange happenings from last year. Meh, later.
Oh yeah, that interview? Went okay. Probably won't get it, and I'd be fine if I didn't. I like where I am now, it fits well for me, and I'm working in the town I used to live in that I long to return to, so I'm happy. I won't know if I was declined till October anyway, when they'll be doing more interviews.
