Homecoming?

So I've been sitting here for a little while, trying to come up with a topic to write about. It just felt like it was about time to update my current position on this fancy lil website. So, I strummed some chords on my ukulele, and I glanced around my room, and I drummed my fingers against the keyboard, but absolutely nothing came to mind. That's a lie, some things came to mind, but I've decided a few things: what I blog about has to be interesting, and it also cannot be negative. I don't blog about things for attention or sympathy, I blog because the things I think of often need to be shared, or at least written down so I can come back to them. I don't want to forget these thoughts.

I apologize for rambling like that.

So, if you're in high school currently, or have been in the past, or know much about high school, you probably also know that it's that special time of year again: homecoming. Sigh, why does everyone get so excited about homecoming, and I just sit here and think the word is slightly.... I don't know, nothing at all. No, I am not upset because I haven't been asked to homecoming. It's true, I haven't been asked. Do I care? Not one bit. I don't want to go. I don't want to worry about it, I really don't. Everyone can have fun, that's cool, but dancing with sweaty people in a high school gym that plays music I'm not fond of? I'll pass.

If someone really, really awesome asks me to go, I might. I don't think that'll happen though. It just seems like an excuse for people to flaunt the fact that they have boyfriends or girlfriends, when I, on the other hand, don't. No, I'm not upset that I don't have a boyfriend. I don't need one. I'm fine without. Oh, and then there's the friend groups. I went with one last year, my freshmen year. Yeah it was cool, except they all hung out and I went off to find other people. When all of your close friends either go to a different school or have dates, or have better things to do than homecoming, these friend groups are hard to find.

I don't mean to talk trash about homecoming, and I did have a good time last year. But, I think there are other things I could do that Saturday night. Maybe. And I don't think it's necessary to go all 4 years of high school. It can't be much different, besides the decorations. Right?
