Valentine's Day 2011

[Annabel]

The following is featured on a large poster, which currently adorns each of the homeroom corkboards.

Konoha High School presents...

Don't have a date for the dance? Worry no more!
This year, Konoha High School will be holding a special blind dating event on the night of the dance to help out those of you without a special someone to share it with.

Sign up, and we will organise for you...

• A rendezvous point on the school grounds...
  
• A small activity at said location, in order to break the ice...
  
• ...and, of course, your mysterious date!
  

Keep in mind...
Dates will NOT be supervised by teachers, so it is important that all of your are on your best behaviour for their duration.
If at any point on your date you should feel unsafe - or simply if the chemistry just isn't right - you are free to leave at any time.

Hand your forms in to your homeroom teacher by the end of the month so that everything can be organised in time!
If you feel uncomfortable doing this and would prefer to hand your form in anonymously, a box has been provided outside the History office.

Huh. Does that sound fun? A small pile of forms is lying on the desk underneath the poster. Will you take one?

BLIND DATING PROJECT 2011 Name: Grade: Gender: Hobbies: Q1. How would others describe you? Q2. How would you describe your ideal partner? Q3. What are your hobbies? PLEASE HAND THIS IN BY THE 31st OF JANUARY, 2011

ooc; The purpose of this thread is to collect registrations for the "Blind Date" threads, which will be arranged for you in early Febuary. Just write a short post in which your character -- or characters, as it may be -- signs themselves up for the program.
Please do not sign up other people's characters without their permission. With that said, because Neji is a douchebag I have declared him fair game.
Teachers are also ineligible for the blind dates, as they will be helping to organise them behind the scenes. Sorry, guys.

Here is the code for the form. It MUST be included at the end of your post.

Kankuro hated nearly all school sponsored activities.... Not that anyone would be truly surprised by this ‘revelation’ if he said it out loud. After all hatin’ was not just standard practice for haters, but underachieving slackers with preferences towards events that did not feature and promote ‘ra-ra-ra’ school spirit or chaperones. Admittedly, mostly the chaperone part. Of course, like any good rule, or rather loose code of ethics (or lack there of), there were a few exceptions. Volley ball, naturally, half days that came with home coming. Cheerleaders who did the actual ra-ra-ra-ing. Though, to be fair, he more supported their... sport (dance group? Drill team? Whatever; they wore miniskirts, bend over and do the splits and that was all that he needed to know) then the actual cheers.

Valentine’s Day on the school grounds, however, was not on that exceptionally short list of exceptions.

Pink, that was really the only word that could accurately describe Saint Valentine’s Day at Konoha High, or at least it was the only pg rated phrase that came to Kankuro's mind, as he left his last period for the day. Just... pink. Every where, on every fucking thing that scotch tape could hold construction paper and streamers to. Okay, so maybe it was not technically that bad, but the brunette still maintained that it was like herpes and glitter had a bastard child from hell, and it exploded in the hallway, slowly spreading like the gaudy hallmark induced plague that it was.

Of course this sudden onslaught of girly colors (as offending as it was to his manly eyes) was only to be expected, Kankuro begrudgingly supposed; It was nearly February, and it wasn’t like the student counsel had any better ideas then to repeat last year’s decoration disaster and try to one up their predecessors by slapping a few more smiley faces on to the walls. He shook his head; what a waste of faux power; they could be throwing their weight around to achieve more then permission to put up neon pink hearts, read streamers and lace to somehow magically improve mid-year morale or some bull shit like that. Hell, they’d get better results playing what ever crap song was on Naruto’s ipod on the p.a. system, and that might be saying something considering his friend's dubious taste in music every now and then.

A heavy ‘enchinc-enchinc-enchinc’, dark lights and a ‘ta-ta-touching on my...’; now that might capture the real meaning of Valentine’s Day and boost morale.... But he supposed that the kids on the student counsel didn’t know anything about that kinda music, much less boosting anything... well, past a five finger knuckle shuffle at least.

Or, at least this was the case that was so often repeated in the past, Kankuro had to admit as he stood in the middle of the hallway, staring at the wall... Well, at the poster on the wall, advertising blind dates.

It was weird, really. Why hadn’t anyone thought of this before and how sad do you have to be to actually sign up for this didn’t often mingle into one single conflicting emotion for the brunette, but it certainly did for this case. The only question, and the one that remained to be seen to, was which thought would win out at the end of the day. Though, Kankuro thought with a grin, it probably didn’t matter, either way, as he reached out for one of the applications, lazily scrawling down the necessary information. Either way, Naruto was going to find himself really surprised by his blind date.

To some, Valentine's Day was the pinnacle of the year, a tribute to all things romantic and love-related.

To others, Valentine's Day was the worst idea for a holiday ever conceived, and that was saying something when there were things like 'Grandparent's Day' and 'Secretary Appreciation Day' floating around.

But, there was a lesser-known third option: the people who just flat out didn't give a fuck.

As a certain salmon-haired female walked down the hallway of Konoha high, she realized that she was firmly in this category.

In all honesty, the people who flat-out hated the holiday were just as bad as the people who went crazy over it. If they really hated it so much, why did they make a big deal out of 'Single's Awareness Day' and all that bullshit? No, if you hate the holiday, don't participate in it, and maybe take advantage of the day-after sale and buy some clearance-priced candy; don't continually bring the subject up to anyone who might look like they'd half-listen to your incessant blithering.

Sure, pink wasn't exactly her favorite color, but who cared? Nothing changed because of the decorations on the walls, even if it was an eyesore. It was hardly something to bitch and moan about for two months until White Day passed.

On the other hand, there were ample opportunities to have fun on this most annoying of days, and at the expense of others, too - Just the way Haruka liked it.

She had passed the drop-box a few times now, but it was only in the last class she had been dozing off in that it hit her: an epiphany on how to use this to her hilarious advantage.

There was a certain prefect that the Ochi didn't get along with particularly well. A prefect with a stick lodged so far up his ass Haruka was somewhat surprised it wasn't visible through one of his nostrils. The best kind of recipient for these little pranks, really.

Giving a slight nod to the brunette who was already by the drop-box and sign-up sheets, she grabbed a blank form and pulled a pen from her pocket, scrawling down the necessary information. "I didn't peg you as the type for this sort of thing, dude," she drawled, glancing up from the page and over at him again, before scanning the page to see if there were any boxes she had forgotten to fill out before folding it in half and sticking it in the box. After all, it would be very un-Neji-like to do something half-assed. "Entering yourself in as 'grand prize?'"
