FYI Part 2: In high school, I played the trumpet in the marching band. During the fall of my junior year, we played a conference rival whose mascot was a pirate. In our prior visits, I had dreamed of meeting the pirate and maybe sharing some lemonade and Rice Krispie treat band snacks with him or her. A few weeks prior, I had done some digging and found out the mascot was a she. Naturally, I thought my next Homecoming date lay underneath a sweaty, bulbous head (contrary to what you may have just thought, she did not have a bad case of acne) and was preparing to ask this girl to be my date that fall. I thought one date at one Homecoming might help to soothe the rivalry between our proud schools.
This girl April from my school, whose name I changed to protect her privacy, sat catty-cornered to me on the bus ride to the game. April was a fine woman--sturdy, polite, with a long mane of sandy blonde hair that shimmered in the sun. At some point between bites of Fruit Roll-up, I was asked if I would be her date to Homecoming that year. Without hesitation, I said yes. And just like that, I came off the market.
My plans to ask the girl pirate to be my dance date failed. We instead awkwardly snacked on band food and remarked that Green Day put out some decent records, including our mutual favorite Kerplunk.
