Today, I found out my class was attempting to raise money for me through a bake sale because some girl spread a false rumor that I was raped and that my father was going to disown me. The whole school believes it and my biology teacher took me aside and asked if I needed someone to confide in.
Today, my RA told me my vintage bike reminded him of his childhood. I laughed and said, "What, were you born in the 50’s?" He replied, "No, I was born in a third world country and my grandfather took me to school on the back of his bike everyday."
Today, I proposed to a girl I’d been in love with for 6 years. I filled the balcony of the building where I’d first laid eyes on her with innumerable roses and, under the starlit sky, I did it. She later posted on facebook ‘OMG. This geek I knew from high school did the FUNNIEST thing today’.
Today, my daughter was telling everyone at her elementry school about my gay partner. Yes, I have a gay partner. He is my work partner and he happens to be gay.
Today, I found out that my wife had been debating leaving me for an old boyfriend from high school. They rekindled their relationship on Facebook, and talking on the cell phone. Both things I insisted she have.
Today, I thought my boyfriend of 6 years was going to propose to me. We’re highschool sweethearts and he was my first. Just when he was looking into my eyes he says, " I’ve been seeing someone else for 2 years and I’m choosing her over you… it was a tough decision".
Today, at school I was sitting with a friend outside, talking about irregular periods and unshaven legs. Ten minutes into the conversation, a teacher sticks her head out the window above us and tells us to leave. We were distracting a classroom who were trying to finish a test.
Today, I went to my 7 year old son’s school for a conference with his teacher. When I got there, the teacher said "she adored me for who and what I am". I was puzzled. Turns out my son told his class that I am a "lesbian American." Wrong. I’m Lebanese-American.
Today, I finally got my yearbook for senior year in high school. I started what everyone does, which is count how many times I appear in the yearbook. I stopped when I found a prominent photo of me, picking my nose in class.
Today, my friend said he’d give me 20 bucks if I would ask out the ugliest girl in school. I did it. She rejected me.
