My brother gave me permission to publish the conversation we just had. I love my brother and you should too.

When this guy, John found out I asked Alanna to [Homecoming], HE GOT PISSED
masterbasser says:
Because he likes her also. So! He writes a poem …about me
carly says:
[shocked emoticon]
masterbasser says:
with a picture…. And I find it because he gave it to Alanna. And the poem was something like… well… I don’t remember how it went. But the basic plot of it was that I put Alanna on the spot.
carly says:
So that she couldn’t say no??
carly says:
Bah.
carly says:
Whatever.
masterbasser says:
i know
masterbasser says:
and it has a picture of me singing on my knees and a picture of Alanna pissed off with a rose.
carly says:
Sheesh. What a loser.
masterbasser says:
So I saw it and laughed hysterically
carly says:
Good!
masterbasser says:
I thought it was hilarious
carly says:
GOOD!!!
masterbasser says:
So in school you treat people the way you WANT to be treated. I took advantage of that
masterbasser says:
I got home today from Tech Ed. and got this brilliant idea. So!
carly says:
So???
masterbasser says:
John wrote a poem about me… I wrote a poem about John.
masterbasser says:
It goes a-like-a-dis-a…
masterbasser says:
“In return to John’s clever poem
I thought I’d return the favor
Even though I don’t even know’em
He brought me down
He’s definitely better than me
Now I’m DEEPLY hurt
As you can no doubt see.
I’m sorry I offended you
By asking Alanna to Homecoming
So this is my apology
Maybe we could meet or something
Perhaps you won’t like me
At first glance
But I have one more thing to say…
masterbasser says:
……………..*drum roll*
masterbasser says:
GET OVER IT, PAL! IT’S JUST A FREAKIN’ DANCE!!!!”
carly says:
. . .
carly says:
That was the best retaliation poem… ever.
masterbasser says:
LOL. And it has a picture above the text of him holding THIS poem, shocked and bewildered and Alanna standing next to him, all embarrassed to be around him.
carly says:
Well done. Bravo. You’ve made your sister proud.
masterbasser says:
I folded it like a present and it says in bubbly writing “To: John From: Your Friend” with a picture of a smiling bear with a heart on it’s chest. Then on the back of it I drew a pic of myself saying, “Hi John.” Then on the other folded side it has a pic of the bear again, only REALLY happy this time and it’s saying, “I LOVE YOU TOO!” And then on the other folded side, it says, “A little about myself:”
masterbasser says:
-I’m 16
-I love to draw
-I love to play music
-I’d love to be friends, because your poem cracked me up.
-Don’t take my poem personally
-That part wasn’t about me
-Neither was that
carly says:
Really heaping those coals on him, eh bro??
masterbasser says:
then it says “the end” with a bunch of hearts around it.
carly says:
Wow… I’m impressed.
carly says:
You’re giving this to him tomorrow?
masterbasser says:
yes
masterbasser says:
i’ll scan and send it to you
I guess I should clarify and explain that Kyle asked this Alanna-girl to Homecoming by writing a song, getting a few of his friends together, and then singing it to her Barber Shop style. He even wrote two seperate endings to the song. One for if she said “no” and another if she said “yes.” But honestly. What girl would say “no” to the most adorable blue-eyed hunk in school after he’s given her a pink rose and followed it up with a serenade?
If this had happened while I was still in school, only she had said “no” instead of “yes,” I would have gathered every other girl in school (whether they already had dates to the dance or not) and proceeded to beat her up.
But she said “yes.” Therefore, I approve.
