Feb. 12th, 2006 05:20 pmLast night I got stood up by my little brother, of all people! We made plans to go to the school talent show, and he backed out at the last minute, even though we already bought tickets. I ended up going all by my lonesome, but I met up with one of my friends there and found somebody to give my extra ticket to. The show itself was alternately painful and entertaining. Usually there is a fairly consistent level of mediocrity with only a few outstanding performers; this year the talent was extremely polarized. Some people were truly, truly horrible (I guess they didn't have a lot of girls sign up this year? There is no way that some of these people could have made it through auditions if they were very selective).
I've gone to this pageant for several years now and if there's one thing I've learned it's that dancers never win. It doesn't normally bother me because most of their dances are pretty boring and generic, but there were two insanely awesome dancers there last night. The girl who won was complete rot, and needless to say I was disappointed -- the winner should have been the girl who did a very impressive (and very sexy) dance to Michael Bublé's "Feeling Good" (she ended up coming in second).
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening was the fact that I actually got along with one of the girls in my class. Well, we've never been openly antagonistic, but that's because I usually leave the room before I get too sick of her. However, she hangs out with one of my other friends, so when I went over to see him during intermission I ended up talking to her, too. Fifteen minutes straight through, and I didn't feel like walking out once! It was an experience I can only describe as surreal. She even invited me out to dinner with them afterward, but I didn't feel like pushing my luck too far.
