All the cool kids are going to homecoming tomorrow, albeit possibly a different one than yours. Our homecoming's tomorrow, and we're having the Blue Jackets skating in the middle of campus, and they're having food tents from local restaurants, and the zoo will be here with animals. It sounds pretty cool, and wildly different from other years, where the parade comes through and then poof, everyone's gone till the game. I will not be knitting because of this, which makes me sad because I tried to come knit on Wednesday and I drove around for like half an hour and couldn't find a parking spot.
Yeah, our homecoming is a bit different because while Denison has a football team, no one really paid any attention to it while they attended. So we have pumpkin carving and a 5K, and weird luncheons and stuff, but the main event is the Gala, which is a formal where they take all 4 floors of the Student Union and fill them with little quiches and shrimp on a stick and punch and such. And then we steal candy from the chocolate Volcano and put it in our old mailboxes to surprise unsuspecting current students because we're weird like that.
My 5th reunion was 2 years ago, and I vowed not to go back for a while, but some of my friends are going for their 10th this year, so I'm trying to figure out if I really want to drive out there. How sad is it that I actually thought "Wow. I could go to the yarn shop in Granville if I went." I'm an addict.
