I must say--ASKING PEOPLE TO HOMECOMING SUCKS.

Yeah, so...everyone has known for a while that I was going to ask a friend of mine to homecoming...and today in theater arts, the girl sitting next to her mouths to me: ASK CARLY TO HOMECOMING! I was like...whatever, might as well get it over with... so I asked her, and she said yes.

I told a friend of hers later that I planned on going simply as friends--nothing more (well, other than best friends, I guess?).

Tonight at rehearsal for Singin' in The Rain, we were waiting to go on for finale--and a guy asked me, "What's up?" and I put my arm *jokingly* around a girl sitting next to me and said, "Just hanging out with my girlfriend." (Carly was standing behind me.)

I got a phone call from Carly tonight (a few minutes ago, actually) and she said she didn't want to go with me anymore so I could take my "girlfriend"...and I realized that she thought

*oh my god, she just called me...again...I'll update on that in a second*

that the girl who I jokingly said was my girlfriend--was actually my girlfriend. I explained to her that that was a joke, and then somehow we got on to the topic of our "relationship". I told her that I wanted to go as friends and she thought that we were going as more than just friends.

Carly: I wanted to go with you becuase I thought you wanted to go as more than friends.
Parks: Carly, we aren't more than friends though...
Carly: Well then why did you ask me?! I could have gotten asked by somebody who actually liked me!
Parks: So do you not want to go anymore? Because I can find another date, believe me.
Carly: I...I don't know. Let me call you back in like 5-10 minutes.
*hangs up*
*calls again*
There was another phone conversation VERY similar to that one...and then she told me that she would tell me tomorrow.
About 2 minutes ago, she called again and told me that she doesn't want to go with me because I "led her on" and that was a very unfriendly thing to do. I asked how I led her on...and all she could say was, "OK, Parks--I gotta go."

I hung up on her.

...I wonder who I'm gonna ask to homecoming now. Hopefully nobody else sees us as anything more than just friends.

...usually after I vent on the boards, I feel better..but that's just not the case tonight...

There's a totally awesome students board here where a person can get all sorts of support about issues like being a gay teen, food in braces, and leading young women on even though we are gay!

Hey, can somebody delete this thread?

FindingNamo never fails to be the biggest asshole on the boards.

[FindingNamo]

Was it something specific I said? I was speaking rhetorically.

These things wouldn't happen if there were a students board here.

Oh. There IS.

[Parks]

Posted: 8/30/05 at 11:07pm

Oh, wait a minute...who reads the student boards?

Oh yeah! NOBODY.

Zits suck too. Aren't they the worst? And when you're singing in chorus and your voice cracks right as you start to sing the two words they let you sing solo? Awful!

Take your mom to homecoming. That's what I did....EVEN THOUGH SHE GAVE ME UP FOR ADOPTION!

Look Parks, you like her. She WANTED you to like her. But you kept on tossing the F word around. You blew it. No big deal. Live and learn - and you can probably still call her and say that you are sorry, and that you'd like to go with her and just see what happens.

[Parks]

Finding Namo, you're acting like a child. Let's try to be mature...or are you unable to do that?

I'm sorry that I'm invading YOUR message board.

[Parks]

Posted: 8/30/05 at 11:14pm

She knows that I still want to go with her--


I TOLD her that. It doesn't matter to her. She wants to go with somebody who wants to go as something "more than friends".

Why aren't you out? And moreso, how can she not know that you are gay?

See, I am openly gay and I love asking girls to homecoming. HaHa. I was just trying to decide who to ask today. . . That's the only real trouble.

Parks, OF COURSE she wants to go with someone who likes her as more than a friend. She deserves that. And you do! What's the problem?

forget that carly person... why aren't you going with the guy that was hitting on you backstage?

Homecoming is overrated.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 8/30/05 at 11:20pm

He's not out? Oh, I just assumed he was out! I mean, looking at the pic coming out is academic anyway. Maybe he should go to homecoming alone and make it HomeComing Out! With that Diana Ross song. It. Would. Be. Fabulous.

I hate being gay in a nasty public, not accepting highschool.

My best friend from a nother school are fighting over who is going to take me to their homecoming. I love being me.

RIGHT ON, AIGOO!

Homecoming is SOO overrated. I don't even know if I wanna go this year.

I think I'm finally gonna just skip all the stupid hassel of asking someone, and finally just go with my best friend. I'm gonna nominate her for homecoming court too!

Go with a good friend Parks; you'll have way more fun!

“Parks: So do you not want to go anymore? Because I can find another date, believe me.’’

If you actually said that…you are the man. A lot of guys would have wussed out and been all “O don’t say that…blah blah.” You laid down what you feel, and that’s what you gotta do. I have found that the more I have come out, the more fun school dances have been. I can cut in any time I want, and with anyone I want. Hell even guys will dance with me, we won’t go into that here. Basically what you are doing is right and what girls do are wrong...they have cooties.

[Thenardier]

Posted: 8/30/05 at 11:47pm

Yeah, 1, I thought you were gay?

2, you DID say, "oo I can find someone else, believe me" - big hotshot talking there...no you can't find someone, or are scared to look.

3, I don't agree with him, often, but Namo is right - that's what the student board is for.

... but it looks to me like hardly anybody uses the student board.

Posted: 8/30/05 at 11:49pm

I don't know if I said it quite like that, I doubt I did. I said I could find another date. Believe me may have just been in my head...

and she knows I could find another date.

So do you not want to go anymore? Because I can find another date, believe me.


Um, Parks, this was probably not the best thing to say...
