Homecoming Football game/Dance, September 23/24, 2011.
The entire week I had been sick but I showed up to school on Friday. There was a pep rally that day and me being the dumb teenage male I am, I yell at the top of my lungs in cheering during the rally. That night is the football game, and again, I yell and scream during the game like the dumb teenage male I am. After the game, my friend's cousin who lives in New York (We're in Ohio) was visiting and he was at the game and went to his cousin's house. I called him up for directions, only to find out 2 things: 1 he didn't have a clue what any of the roads were called, 2 I had almost completely lost my voice. So I had to struggle to find out the address. Took me about 30 min to get the address from him and when I got there I met his Uncle, who was going to interview me for a job the next week, his cousin, who I ended up dating for a short while, and another girl who I still to this day am crushing on.
So basically after the game I spent 4 hours at their house, and I could only speak in very hoarse whispers and the ones who didn't know me thought I was insane, or high, or that's how I normally spoke. I knew 3 people at their house before that night, and there were 25 there total. Needless to say, my friends being the douchebags they are, pretended that's how I normally spoke.
I went home and went to bed right away, only to wake up finding out I could not even make a hoarse whisper. My voice was completely gone. I panicked because the dance was that night and I was supposed to go to a party before and after. To no avail, I could not recover my voice, so I showed up at the party and just started typing things out to people on my iTouch. We went to the dance and my friend had to be my wingman to get people to dance with me. He told girls "Hey, this kid thinks you're really hot, but he's a F***ing dumbass and lost his voice. You two should totally dance." And that's how it went for the entire 3 hour dance. Afterwards we went to my friends house and I got a text-to-speech app and I used that to start talking, and still people mess with me for that.
Not really embarrassed, but that was funny as all hell.
