Cliched Stupidity: The Cotillion from...Earth
Well i have lots to mention on the Cotillion that i went to last night. We celebrated Alison's big one eight, don't get me wrong, it just seemed a little...off at parts.

First lets cover the fact that i was a "cotillion dancer" for the night. Turns out I was the second youngest, and some of those people were, like twenty. Okay, now i get to talk about them (well except about Me, Arlyne, or George).

Natasha: Aka Natalie- Cool girl, kept above the crazy people around her. Only end up dancing with her when the girls "carousel". Didn't talk to her much.

Michael (R.): Aka. Playa-pimp- There's a lot i could say about old Mike here...lets go for it. I couldn't believe that he was being all smoochie-poochie with litte hoochie Arlyne. Especially the fact when Arlyne goes to me and says stuff like, "I didn't want to kiss him or anything" or "He was all up on me". Then the next thing you know, she's sitting on Mike's lap. Where'd that come from? I heard that Arlyne's mother was like "lemme pull out the gun".

Philomena: Aka. Philly (Cheese steak) - Really funny and into the whole thing. She was a little too Cha-cha for a waltz but hey, she was willing to party. And when i could make someone laugh (also next person) i like them.

Jonathan: Aka Johnny- Overly into the whole experience, trying to squeeze every drop and have fun. Needed safety pins to keep pants up (hahaha). He has a sorta musical background, also noted being the only one (other than me) to hum/sing to a song in Chicago, but also the fact that he had to memorize all these other dance moves, lines, and songs. Easily laughs, which is a good thing. He has really good dancing skills, but it seems like you could point out an NSYNC or Britney Move; he sorta wiggles like a fish out of water. Flexible.

Jackie: Aka. Jacky O. - Ironically the nickname was picked up weeks before the actual party when there was practices; but in the end had that almost 60s-Jackie Onasis [i spelled that wrong right?] type look. If we all died and our ticket to heaven was to do this routine, Jackie might not make it...(maybe it was Byron), but she was trying none the less, so i still think it was cool.

Byron: Aka Baron - I never got it, but Byron and Jackie were paired up. It was like...totally wierd to see them do their solos. They didn't hold hands. But Byron to others was funny, to me he was "eh".

Dalena: Aka George's Partner - Only until the end did I actually know what her name was. She was the youngest, she just turned 16. She has a pretty good taste in music, but never knew who sang whatever song. George had a good partner.

Ranita: Aka Renita Sandwitch - Ranita, what can I say? You were the best girl in the whole thing dancing (Jonathan had to be number one overall, he may have been the number 1 girl too...hahaha...err nevermind). We got into really cool conversations and stuff. Good head on Sholders. Can eat meat on (Lent) Fridays, grr. Had that Indian-istic dancing which i thought was cool.

Edward: Aka Bucky/Beaver/Eh-poy - With so many nicknames you'd think there would have been talking right? No, he was too busy macking on his girl...all the time.

Klaudette: Aka Claw-diette - She claims to have seen me before during another Christmas Party, singing too...she also was the one who was spreading the rumor that i was on American Idol...smart girl. She has a musical background, and she is learning the piano. She also claims to be a "closet" Dance Dance Revolution Player. Dalena's older sister, though they don't look alike at all!

Carlo: Aka Carlos/Carlton/B-boy/Typical Filipino boy who just came to the US - The breakdancer of the group, never talked to him much, just minor nothings.

Janice: aka "her" - I didn't talk to her much either...woah was i being anti-social? Or was it the fact that there was a little bit of "alliances" forming when i arrived? Janice was nice though, very forebearing for having such a partner like Gerard.

Gerard: Aka The Human Torch - What can i say about him that isn't negative? Hmmm...he's Carlo's brother?... okay I never knew why I ended up making fun of him the most...must've been the self-incriminating pictures that your brother showed us. Maybe it was the fact that you actually wore a fantastic four shirt in public, or how about the fact that you musta embarrased your partner. You're a good kid...erm (he's 20 so...)adult. Sometimes i just need to pick on someone (i mean George always picked on Jackie O. and Beaver; i guess i just chose Johnny and You/him). Maybe it was the fact that we had so much in common but never said a word about things, like i would tell him minor things. (he goes to me while i doodle on the piano "So...you play the piano?" and i go "Nah, i just doodle, i really just sing." and he goes "So can i hear something" and i go "...No" and smile at him... or that time he goes, [looking at shirt] "so you like the thundercats?" and i go "yeah, i liked chetara" and walked away from him... or he goes to me "Can i take a picture with you?" and i go "...No" and i smile at him.) He's trying to major in TV/Radio, though I myself cant see it. Good luck to ya.

Donna: aka Janice - I cant tell the difference between some of these girls, and i'm to lazy after ranting for hours upon end about Gerard. She kept Jaycee in check though.

Jaycee: Aka JC/Papa/Oompa Loompa/D(ance) I(nstructor)/Shorty - Cool guy and all, a little short, a little bald, a little too much entheusiasm, a little...bounce. He sorta had to bounce around when dancing to get the correct footing, where-as George, Jonathan, Christian, or Myself could do the same move without a problem. He sorta was like a hostess.

Christian: aka Chris/"who?"/that guy - I didn't talk to him...at all...maybe it was that he barely said anything anyway. Natasha's brother. Awkward dancer.

Alison: Aka Allison/Birthday Celebrant - We're celebrating this whole thing for her. She didn't seem to into the whole dancing thing to begin with. She always had that serious "i'm concerating" look everytime she danced, so i always smile to her when we would change partners and she would smile back. I liked your party, it was cool. I liked your too tresses too they were cool. I thought it was wierd that you were seated so far away to the center, when it was your birthday. I really think that your brother has ADD (or ADHD...whatever it's called these days). Your mother is really really nice. Hmm...i hope it was okay that you were sandwitched all the time during the party when there was a circle. Thank you for not playing "Dirrty".
