"Hi" On behalf of Pattimax

[17th Angel]

I always saw her as having a bit of a glow to her. Aside from being a freaking Christian she seems like a good person.

*giggles like a schoolgirl*

 

[pattimax]

I think you must be, with out meaning insult, I never imagined her to be such a shining light... I mean look at her... She freaking glows!

It's the halo, it doesn't show up on film.

...sigh, you have so much to learn.

 

[pattimax]

Am I the only one who pictured pattimax looking just about exactly like that?

... you so seem to be perceptive, although you're rather clueless.

 

[greymare]

That would explain it! Would also explain why my pictures are so dull :\

 

[pattimax]

17th, I think your pictures are well lit.

btw: Greymare and Brian, thanks.

 

[bob x]

As well as I might hope. Homecoming parade today! Whoopeee!

 

[greymare]

[pattimax]

Schools have football games with parade (in this case, the university of Florida- go gators! For my dad.) and graduates "come home."

 

[greymare]

The "home coming" also involves an American football game between two schools, and a "ballroom dance" and dinner, where everyone decks out in their tuxedos and dinner gowns. A Home coming king and queen are usually elected and crowned during the dance. At the US military academies it is usually called a "Ring" dance. This is when the senior cadets receive their comissioning ring. Often, wedding proposals are offered during this dance and evening out.

Thanks Q. So is the dance and ballgame etc, all a celebration of the end of school year and return to the family?

We Brits are rather simple people we used to have an 'End of Year Disco' - doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

[pattimax]

If you want details...

Thank you.

MW- What was before disco?

A thing called a Toddle Inn & Dance. Toddle Inn's were drinks bars where you went to drink hot orange and eat ice cream. Dance's were held in the village Hall. That is how my parents celebrated their end of school years, a dance at the village hall then off to the Toddle Inn for a hot orange - wow they knew how to live it up.

Then of course rock and roll arrived from the US and all hell broke loose

 

[pattimax]

Things were tamer everywhere.

Do you know about sock hops?
