This entire page is dedicated to the beautiful girl in the picture below.

I don't know if I got her name right, or even what happened to her, but if she ever see this, I would like to thank her for being my date on my Matric Farewell. 

When I was in school I was a very shy guy, and girls scared me, they still do in a way...

In South Africa we have what they call a Matric Farewell, where all teachers, seniors and their parents are invited to bid the seniors farewell just before the school final exams start.

I suppose this is kind of the American Prom-Night, but not quite... For one thing it was a very formal affair at my school.

Anyway, since I was shy and kind of a dork/nerd/jerk I did not have a date for this special night...

I tried everything, short of breaking a leg, to miss this event, but in the end a friend of mine organized his cousin to be my date.

When I first saw her, just a few minutes before we had to attend the Farewell, I could not belief my eyes...

I was a nervous wreck the whole night, we almost never spoke, and when I did, I said stupid stuff... Don't tell me this haven't happened to you before!

We also HAD to dance and that was a disaster, since I don't dance, I don't talk and I don't like being touched...

Looking back, I am glad that I never have to do it all over.
