Well God definitely has a sense of humor, and while this scenario is fresh in my mind id like to go ahead and document it. so prom can basically shove it. this all started about 24 hours ago when i got an out of the blue myspace message, and it has been a rough 24 hours. but before we get to that lets jump back a couple months to where this whole thing REALLY originated. yes if you dont already know, me and Bry had some sort of SOMETHING. i dont kno what the heck it was. it wasn't friends but it wasnt "dating." it was an ish. so thats what we'll refer to it as. you call it what you want. im still not really sure what to call it. anyway. so i get this myspace message from a friend of mine, who by the way, has only "known" me for not quite two weeks and even then, hasnt said too much to me. but she does the unthinkable. in two respects. 1) she asks me to prom- mistake number one. im a classy guy. the GUYS ask the GIRLS. its not the other way around. 2) she asks me in a myspace message- mistake number two. being classy, if you're going to do something like that, do it in person. anyway the two golden rules have been broken, no questions asked. so i basically told it like it was. you can argue whether what i did was of jerk status or not. but i did feel bad- jerk or no jerk. i nicely explained that i already had intentions of asking another person, but that it was nothing against her. and it wasnt, i really did. but i hadnt quite figured it out yet. i had it narrowed down to about two people. and if you havent already guessed who one of them is. see the beginning of this post. however, this was the idiot side of myself speaking very naively to me. my more sensible side was saying "Sophia!" i figured why not, shes a cool girl, and would be a very good date for prom. it would be strictly on a friends level, so there would be no relationship drama to follow. a fun night all in all. now the trick with this is to make that happen. well let me tell you i was pretty stressed out after that myspace message so i spoke to several people online for advice on what action to take. Bry happened to be one of these people. a negative side to this was that she took it to mean me hinting at a possible proposal for prom (you freakin loved that alliteration) between me and her. i saw where she was going with it, and once again my idiot side spoke up- "Sweet! do it!" and then the angel on my other shoulder explained to me the faults. well those two views fought with eachother all night and day until after school when i had to make a decision. 5th period was when i really started to see the light tho. i thought back to last year's military ball when i took joanna. that was horrible. a word of advice: dont ever take someone to a formal dance if you like them and the feeling is not mutual. it ends in crushed hopes and depression. that would be what would happen if i took Bry. the situation is simple enough to see. she doesnt like me anymore. i am still very much attracted to her, but that same feeling for her is geared toward someone else, who happens to be a good friend of mine. the situation at the moment is already weird enough though. it really sucks seeing the one you lost chasing after a good friend of yours who is considering letting her catch him. going to prom with her would complicate things. so the idiot on my left shoulder was kicked off by the angel on my right, but that stupid idiot continues to barely hang on. so after school i had made my decision. Sophia would be the one. After all, any bystander would tell me to go for her over Bry most definitely. so i asked someone i thought may already have intentions of asking Sophia if it was cool for me to ask Sophia, as i had a sneaking suspicion he might be planning the same thing, but he said it was totally cool and he didnt have the intentions. so there we were. me and sophia. after school. chillin alone. now was as good a time as any. so i popped the question of prom. and dun dun dun. rejection. dang. sucks. the worst part was i had a sneaking suspicion that she wanted the guy i talked to to ask her, which she did, and that was her reasoning for negating my proposal. and all i picture is God in heaven laughing since i paid for what i got. i wanted to be like "but hes not going to ask you!" but that would have made things worse. anyway now im in a catch 22. so hopefully the next 24 hours wont be so rough and this situation will improve. and all the while that idiot keeps hanging on...
