thank you to everyone who spent the night with me at yr 12 formal last night, in particular Smitty and Nicky for pres and afters respectively. I loved it. Check out tagged photos. It was also my brother's 3rd birthday yesterday, so i feel indebted to my family for escorting me round.
One thing that I should point out about last night was the camaraderie that hung between individuals. How epic is the convention of the dance circle (I started one last night = twas fun :)! More mind boggling is the phenomenon of men dancing with men to boost their masculinity. I did this many a time last night, and people probably questioned my sexuality when watching me. i don't blame them :P
dancing. the act that tells people that you love life, and that you do not take yourself seriously. i'm not sure what self-consciousness i had yesterday, because i was blazing on the dancefloor last night. yes i was bad. but hey, i love who i am, and that's the main thing.
so many smiles on facebook propping up. a night of happiness and psychological surrender as adversity is behind us.
fortunately i did not surrender my values last night. I'm still straight edge. I did not drink last night. Now people might think this is extremely odd, but when i asked Nick about whether i should renounce straight edge, all my friends around me persuaded me not to drink. 'you don't have to drink to have fun' said one girl. 'stay dry' said another boy. I love this support, so i said no to booze. I win.
Stick to your guns. Love who you are.
Justin
