You know, I completely forgot to post about my weekend here in our resident girl discussion 'forum'. Okay, I'll make it the abridged version because, personally, I don't recall some of the parts.
First of all, my brother was crowned King of my town, which in 4 years I aspire to take his place. But I was an usher at his ceremony and youth group girl was one of the program hostesses. Well I escorted her parents to their table and we had a nice discussion, they really liked me, and his father told me to take over his Sunday School class for him that weekend and said his daughter, youth group girl, suggested it and suggested that she could be the TA. Blah blah blah, the ceremony started, my brother was crowned King of Fort Myers, yadda yadda yadda, lots of family pictures, on to day 2.
There's always a HUGE night parade after the ceremony in which the king and queen ride the main float together and everyone involved in the court pageant get to have a nice little dinner party along the parade route. Well youth group girl came up to me and smiled and waved. After the parade the court gets to have a party at the queen's house and youth group girl wanted to know if I'd be there, and of course I said yes. Well I went, she walked in a little while later and scanned the room for me, smiled and waved, so I strolled over suave and slick and she tilted her head just a little bit to one side and said hi james in one of those voices. Well we crossed paths many times during the party and had a number of great conversations. She was envious that I was so popular, I knew everyone's name at that party, except one person. We both said "oh well" at exactly the same time and she just started smiling and did that little laugh I'm sure ever guy is familiar with. But at around midnight the bar closed up and I went home. But youth group girl was leaving too and walked with me the entire way back to her house, about 5 blocks, and we were talking the entire time, joking about what I'd do as teacher for youth group/sunday school, all this stuff.
The next day I helped the queen clean up after the party at her house, which, as I said, is a little ways from youth group girl's house. Well her dog was loose and over there at that house and I said 'hey, isn't that _youth group girl's dog's name_.' Youth group girl's mother came and found the dog and brought it back home and apparently told youth group girl that I was over there and in just a couple minutes she had walked to the queen's house just to say hi to me, which was really cool.
But she and I are becoming really good friends, so all's good.
I just thought I'd let you all know that my weekend was really good. Oh, and she and I will probably be King and Queen together in 4 years since we're both the most popular people up for the auspicious honor that year.
