Yeah... I just remembered that I probably hadn't posted anything here since shortly after the Busch Gardens trip (I didn't actually check, so that might not be quite right... but I don't remember posting anything here recently so it probably has been about that long.) I guess there hasn't been a whole lot to post about--just the usual stuff with classes and such, trying to go to various events but being unable to stay due to there not being anywhere I can sit comfortably, and that sort of thing.
There was an orchestra concert tonight, which I actually did go to (and thought was pretty good!) They played music from TV, movies, and video games (though unfortunately most of the game music was from games I haven't played--the only one I recognized was a song from Kingdom Hearts), and during some of the songs there was some goofiness--like several people running around with sunglasses and Nerf guns during the Mission Impossible theme, and people dancing around with green handkerchiefs during this Jewish/Russian song.
There's also a dance tomorrow night. I'm going to go, of course (since I always do)... but I'm not really expecting much out of it, since the dances this semester have been on a rapid downward spiral after the Honor Ball (which was easily the best dance I've ever been to, probably even topping the two that I actually had dates for--the problem is that the other dances this semester after that one were pretty damn awful, the second being even worse than the first.) I wasn't planning on asking anyone to go with me, since I can't really dance that well and I don't want to drag someone along with me to a dance when I can't really dance that well. Of course, earlier this week I had been thinking about asking someone on a date for... today, I guess, or Saturday... but obviously that never happened. And now that I think about it, it probably would sound kind of weird to be asking a girl on a date and trying to explain to her that I don't want to go to the dance with her because I can't dance very well, so we could go on a date earlier instead. That's probably too much trouble to bother with, especially when it's piled on top of the whole "Mormon girls so obsessed with temple marriage that they won't even go on a date with a non-member" issue. I mean, I haven't really run into too many of those so far, but I also haven't actually asked very many girls on dates (...I've only even attempted it once this semester, which didn't work out.) The annoying thing, of course, is that earlier tonight I had some random (male) stranger try to convince me to ask some girl to the dance. I probably should've mentioned that I actually had a reason for not asking anyone (me not being able to dance very well and not wanting to feel like I'm dragging someone else down) rather than just saying that I didn't even try because I knew I was doomed to failure, but still... trying to convince someone to ask a girl to the dance at the last freakin' minute when they've already decided not to ask anyone is a pretty douchey thing to do.
EDIT: That dance was pretty crappy. I only managed to actually dance with anyone twice (...and neither of those times did I actually manage to ask them), nobody told me that I needed a tie until 15 minutes after I got there (so I had to go all the way back to my room and get one), and so on. It seemed like every time I thought about looking for someone to ask to dance, the person I had in mind had already left... seriously, this happened something like 3 or 4 times.
