It’s homecoming week at the high school. When it comes to this teenage tradition, I am
really of two minds. Part of me fucking
hates this week because I’ve just never been that pig tails and pink lip gloss
kind of “go team go” gal. Part of me says
to embrace it because raucousness is actually encouraged – to an appropriate
degree. That phrasing has to be
oxymoronic, but I think you all get my point.
This is what I remember from my high school homecoming
experience: I painted two posters for the gymnasium. We decorated the gym to show our school
spirit. Most of the posters contained
clever and thematic phrases like “Crush the Cardinals” or “Go Hatchet Football.” One of my posters had a sketch of a
cheerleader on it, and simply read “Rah Rah Rah Shish Boom Bah” – no mention of
either the home team or the opposition.
The other poster read “Get ‘Em Sloth,” and contained a caricature of the
noted character of Goonies’ fame,
complete with Baby Ruth candy bar. On spirit day, I also wore a sombrero for no
particular reason.

Today was “Tacky Tuesday” for the current student body. For some reason, this led to lots of teenage
girls wearing brightly colored tutus over their leggings. And this popular apparel choice led to my new
strong desire to own a tutu. So, in
appreciation for bringing you laughter nearly every day, please send me
packages containing tutus. Adult size
medium. My favorite color is
purple.
Look! I've made it easy, and done the shopping for you:
I'll wear the tutu to a random location, take photos, and then blog about it. Make your requests: Where should I wear the purple tutu?
