Hampton's Homecoming was off-da-hook! My emotions are so mixed...on the one hand I'm so SATISFIED that I went & saw all of those young boys & girls that became young men & women! On the other hand, I want it not to have happened & be coming up this weekend..so I can do it all over again!
There was SOOOOO much love! A lot of people's names slipped my mind, but just about EVERYONE looked the exact SAME! It was unbelievable...guys that we thought would never have enough money to by a greyhound ticket out of Hampton have MORTGAGES??? What???
People are married, having or have already had their kids! The new Student Union with its bowling alley, fitness center, game room, etc., visiting our old dorms, the water front....Oh, & then the "old school" party! It was like classes from 89-92 were represented! That was the most phenomenal part of the whole weekend. We stepped right back into time! I mean, there were no little young hoochies walking around in bras & panties (well..there was this girl with what looked like a bra on..but, I digress)...there wasn't a lot of freaks freakin' on the floor like you see in clubs now! Everyone was truly & geniunely enjoying themselves & each other. I think I only had one drink the whole night, which it usually takes me about 2 to unwind & get relaxed in the crowd I'm in...
Oh, & lesson #1 that I learned from this weekend, if you hear some crazy story about people from school...just take it with a grain of salt. There were several people that I'd had heard stuff about from various people, when I saw them this weekend & asked "how's that going?"..they were like "what? that's not true!"
I can sum up my weekend at Hampton's homecoming simply by saying: H-I-U! I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!!!!
Ps. I got in too late to see the stepshow on Friday, but Hampton won (of course, I heard this from someone else b/c we NEVER go into the game!)
