Cool. So people really read this. Time to back up.
School life has been busy lately. I've been gearing up for this thing called the "Cafe de Artistes" cause not only was I hosting this thing but I was also organizing it, etc. Basically, it's a showcase of talent (i.e. singing, dancing, acting, poetry) and since Valentine's Day is around the corner, the theme is "All About Love". We auditioned all these people like two weeks ago. Some were good, others were not. I felt like I was watching really bad reanactments of American Idol.
So I compiled a list of the people who'd be in the event with my drama teacher, Mrs. Litt and that was that. Of course, things didn't exactly go as smoothly the day of the show. The timing was horrible - the show dragged and most of my jokes didn't go other so well. It was really bad. The mics sucked, the music lagged (I'm sorry, seems like we have technical difficulties, you don't mind singing later in the show, do you Michell? Okay, you can head on backstage. No wait, come back, the technical difficulties have been resolved."), the the performers weren't as good as I thought.
I seriously couldn't go to sleep last night. I kept thinking about how horrible it was. The only good parts of the show was when Kalen dressed up in a wedding dress ("Okay, Mrs. Litt told me to come out for the wedding bit. Travon: Who are you supposed to be, Madonna? No, Britney.") Yeah, that got a good response from the crowd, it was all staged of course. Then we did this other bit where the assistant principal was looking for me. Kevin would come out throughout the show and say "Listen, Naughton's looking for you, he wants to see you NOW in his office" and I'd play it off as it were real. Mrs. Litt said some teachers at the show were actually concerned that I was in trouble. In the end, Mr. Naughton came out and was like "Didn't Kevin tell you I was looking for you?" and then I play stupid and eventually Kevin gives me all these roses and stuff and Naughton's like "someone left these for you" and everyone loved it. As he walked away, I said "Oh, so this wasn't about the graffiti?!" and that was the end of the show. Cool stuff.
So afterwards, the Drama crew took my cousin Angie out to eat and stuff. It's her birthday. We went to Applebees. Kevin spilled a drink all over the table. That was funny. Then we had the Applebee's people came and clap and sang for Angie. She was embarassed. So it was like 9 something by then and Alexis' mom called her and told her to come home but we were gonna go play Laser Tag at this arcade place so we just went anyway and rushed home. Apparently, Kevin is "punished for life". His mom was pissed cause he got like... mugged or something the other day and she didn't want him out late.
Laser Tag was fun. I kicked so much ass. First place, baby.
So today. I didn't go to school. Horrible toothache. All was good by the time I was due at school though. We were doing parts of the "Cafe de Artistes" for the P.T.A. people and that went over better than yesterday! People actually laughed at my corny jokes ("Without further adieu, closing the show with a dance routine harder than the SATs..."). Later on, Shakira gave me a Valentine's card. Angie said Shakira's liked me since last year. I was like, stunned. I've never ever recieved a Valentine's card. No one has ever liked me. So I believe. I dunno. I've never been in a quote, unquote "relationship".
And the thing is, I don't really like Shakira as anything more than a friend. How do I break this to her? I bought some Valentine card that said stuff about friendship, so tomorrow I confront her and tell her the truth. It's too hard though, I don't want her to take things out of context, or to be disrespected. You know... in the end, I don't want to lose a friend.
This was way long. If you read all of it, you rock. Cool, peace out and I'll make more of these entries. Shorter ones, ya know.
