Homecoming is in two weeks. Normally, I wouldn't bother since at our school the event is notoriously expensive because we hire a whole bunch of professionals, but this year I have a chance at getting a date! Besides, it's my senior year, and I should at least experience it for myself before writing it off as a bureaucratic hoax.

Um...yes. Anyway. He and I get along really well, and I'm starting to really fall for him, I think. He moved into my English Honors class, so now I see him there as well as in physics. He's nice, funny in a quirky way (a la John Leguizamo and his funky-ass accents), and passionate about what he does - web design. He showed me the links to a couple of domains he owns and...my god...they're gorgeous. He's nailed both the aesthetic and the utilitarian aspects of web pages. One of the pages was a personal page with his photography (he has some breathtaking shots) and a story he was working on, and he asked me to beta-read it. The plot is gripping and constantly twisting, although the character development could use some work. I took a risk and told him so, and he didn't erupt on me; instead he thanked me.

I *will* snag a date for Homecoming. And it *will* be him. Him.
