Football games and gas woes

pinksoniaYou know what is not a fun message to come home to? The we've turned off your gas to do maintenance but we can't turn it back on with out someone being home message. I got that yesterday, but between crappy phone menus that wont let you talk to a person, so you can't tell then that it is a 'red card' like the door knob hanger told you to, and commitments that had me away from the apartment I couldn't get it taken care of until tonight. Turns out the gas wasn't off so much as the pilot lights were no longer lit. I probably could have taken care of that myself.
Anyway, the commitment that had me away from the house this afternoon was the Tulane homecoming game which we lost miserably (31-10). It was the first time this year that I got to see the band, and I will only have one more opportunity (if that, depending on what work rotation I get put on) which is rather disappointing. I really want someone to explain to me the thought processes of the large group of girls in front of me. Now I like wearing dresses as much as the next person (often more that the next person since I did refuse to wear pants until I was 10 or so) but it would never occur to me to wear a short little sundress to a football game. Certainly not to a football game held indoors in a stadium notorious for its over use of air-conditioning. I suppose it is a seeing a being seen thing, but really I don't think anyone is fooled. I would think the guys they are trying to attract are also sitting there wonder why someone would wear a dress to a football game. Not to mention I'm sure all the girls would look just as cute in a well fitting pair of jeans and school shirt. So, I'm left saying WHY?
