So This is High School Again??!

Song Mood - Rocky IV Soundtrack - There's No Easy Way Out (the one they play when Rocky drives in the tunnel, mourning Apollo's death)

I took a well-deserved nap (well, at least my body deserved it, if not my soul) yesterday after working at the Auditorium, and as soon as I woke up, the phone rang at about 11:50 PM.

I ran to get it, and when I answered, I received the surprising news...

"You've been named as a finalist for Homecoming King."

A rush of adrenaline hit me like a ton of bricks.

Out of all the people who applied for this (which includes $1,000 scholarships for the lucky King and Queen), I get chosen as one of 5 finalists. Amazing. Thank God the student body doesn't vote for this one. I don't know how I could generate all that support on a campus with over 38,000 undergrad/graduate students.

From here on, I have to interview for 15 minutes on Tuesday morning, as the Homecoming Committee decides who to pick. At the very least, I get to ride in a car during the Homecoming Parade on Friday night, attend the Pep Rally where they make their decisions, and participate in the Halftime Show at the IU-Minnesota Game.

Oh well, I can't really say too much more- I'm becoming full of myself just thinking about it. Please hit me if you see me, so I can get sense into my head.

Hey

You know, I wondered whether I should do this. I've been a Xanga writer for as long as I remember- I guess you could even consider it sacreligious- Sung Ahn, Eprop whore, crossing the line, ready to hit the mainstream.

I mean, the reason why I got on Xanga was the fact that I couldn't get a journal on livejournal.com, not to mention the fact that I wanted to write a Xanga different from everybody else's.

Xanga people tend to like writing 2 sentences and feeling so proud of themselves for doing it. They also like posting pictures and stuff. They don't (usually) write long blogs, which have long been a staple of what I do. Blogspot seems have more writers who do stuff like that, as well as people who actually read, so hence this change.

I doubt I can maintain two blogs- not even I could fathom writing that much. Maybe I'll put photos on Xanga, and type on the blogspot.

Those of you who've been fans, thank you. I hope you support my decision.
