homecoming and strange dreams

this weekend, as mentioned before, was homecoming at the high school, and because i'm on the school district's payroll and because my mom works there, i also was able to work homecoming.

friday night was the powder puff game - that is, girl's football. it was slightly rainy when i arrived, but during most of the game it was dry, waiting until after it was over to downpour. my task was to stand by one of the gates that led onto the field and make sure no streakers got through. that is what the boss said, it was my specific task to make sure nobody got through my gate to streak the field. and no streaker did get through my gate; i had to fend off a band of boys wearing blue shirts, and also a huge group of young men dressed as cheerleaders - yes, short skirts and all. they came to harass me at my gate and asked if they could go onto the field, i said i'll check but no for right now. so i radioed the powers that be, but the boys were too loud so i yelled at them, YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE TO BE QUIET, I CAN'T HEAR! then one pushed me and tried to get through the gate, but i was tough and pushed back and he didn't get through. soon, one of the deans came by and told them ABSOLUTELY NOT! so they left my gate all grumbly.

then, as if by fate, a streaker makes it onto the field! i'm standing at my gate and i see him leap over the railing in front of the bleachers and begin running diagonally over the field with a huge white flag. he must have been wearing a robe or something, because i have no idea how he could get all his clothes off and onto the field without anyone noticing, and there were two other security people up there where he was! anyway, it was hillarious. you see this little streak of naked white lightning run across the field, followed by a security person running really fast. he makes it to the other side of the field, where there is a fence, and then he jumps over the fence! from what we heard later, the guy was chased all the way to the creek, where he jumped in and the chase was given up.

then saturday was the soccer game and the homecoming football game. i have nothing to remark about the soccer game except this: when it was over, i hear my mom radio something: hey jenn, guess who is over here standing outside the ticket booth?! and I, recalling a conversation the previous night about a certain boy i had a crush on in high school, say, don't embarass me mom!

i guess he was LEAVING after the soccer game... he must have walked by me and i didn't even notice!!!!!!!!! they said he was gorgeous. gotta love those high school crushes. a word on this crush: i think in my life i have not said more than one complete sentence to him. but he's hot - as in make-my-ovaries-explode-and-impregnate-me hot. which leads me to the next topic: strange dreams.

i don't know why, it must have been the exposure to all the young men's phereomones and my own lack of possibilities for biological proliferation, but i had a sex dream friday night. i never have sex dreams! and it was so strange! obviously a good girl does not kiss and tell, so neither will i dream and tell who it was. i'll leave it up to your individual imaginations! it's not like it was a bumping hot sex dream, but it was like i wanted it. i kept saying, come on! let's do it again! hahahaha. and then i was by myself kayaking in this lagoon that had these weird plants and weird bugs. it was kind of like one of those "caballito" kayaks that you paddle with a thing made out of bamboo. i just remember that the water was brown and it grossed me out.

then saturday night, i chaperoned the homecoming dance. there were your geeks and nerds and cool people and weird people dancing by themselves in the corner. there was also the most unfeminine thing with ovaries that i have ever seen in my life. she was making out with another girl. this kind of thing did not happen when i was in high school. i kept thinking, why don't you save that for a phase in college? i can kind of understand now what some homophobic guys feel when they see two guys making out. then again, i don't think i would have been disgusted if it were obvious that the two of them were girls. i guess what really grossed me out was that there was this girl who was completely disowning the fact that she is a girl. if you're a girl, why do you want to look like a boy? then they would play the grind songs and i see a bunch of boys trying to grind with their dates, and i'm thinking to myself, they're probably thinking, is this what sex is like? i'm glad to say that there weren't any incidents to report; my mom didn't bust anyone for coming to the dance drunk and i don't believe they had to use the breathalyzer once.

so it was a busy weekend, but at least i got paid for it. and paid nicely. today i will just relax and read. and wonder if by june i could be on another continent.
