Ope, there is one restraint. Minimum words allowed is 15 and I can't change that.

Hello Fellow Human!

The feeling of being noticed is one of the best I have ever felt.

I learned last night that one of my good friends asked me to Homecoming because he knew I had never gone to a school dance and figured that I should have the chance.

Lets just say that I havent stopped smiling since I heard that.

At that dance so many people saw me and said, "ROSEMARY!!!!" Then gave me a huge hug. I was honestly surprised at the amount of people that were so happy to see me.

Me. Little ol' me.

Nerdy, geeky, quiet me.

Unnoticed me.

I think going to that dance last night gave me the closure I needed to finally feel like I am done with High School. I felt distanced from everyone the whole dance. I felt less inhibited, more free then I did while in school.

I dont really know quite where I'm going with this.

Maybe I'm trying to tell people to notice others. Say hi to the shy kid in the halls. Smile at your coworkers. Leave a nice note for the postman.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Or maybe Im trying to say that school dances aren't the yick of all grossness, like I always assumed they were. Don't get me wrong, the music is horrible, but the people are awesome.

Or maybe I'm just trying to make sense of the conflicting emotions in my head.

Or maybe I just want chocolate.
