Ball Date (February 16, 2014)
Nothing special happened today, besides building up my debate tomorrow for Death of a Salesman but I'll talk about that tomorrow. This is a good thing, so I can talk about the thing I was supposed to talk about yesterday.
Yesterday, I went out with my ball date and some friends. Yeah, it was as awkward as that last sentence, but it doesn't mean that it wasn't fun.
First things first, let's discuss ball dates: I have a ball. I needed a date (needed being the correct term because our stupid principal didn't allow going stag). I don't have the social skills to ask someone myself. I was set-up. So was my other friend (although his problem was different). We met our dates yesterday. That's that.
So during the actual thing, I went there not knowing what we were going to do. They said it would last around 3-4 ish hours and I don't know what people do in situations like these. Putting it bluntly, we just talked, and laughed, and had an overall awesome time. Like I said before, there were awkward moments, but that is/was to be expected.
We played a photo scavenger hunt where you basically have a set amount of time (i.e. 30 minutes) to take pictures/videos of certain things. We were in a mall so we had a lot of opportunities. Here's the list that we came up with:
Pictures: hot foreigner, dog, nun, crocs, East Asian couple, LV bag, inappropriately short shorts, classmate, selfie with a security guard, athletic wear, ducks, old people, cosplay, hipster, overly colored hair, stranger looking directly at the camera
Videos: dancing behind someone, saying "Hi" to a stranger
I forgot like 2-3 but you get the general concept. Try it out yourself, it's super fun.
So yeah, I'm guessing my ball won't be half-bad. :D
