Speaking of boys with good hair, Amy kind of, sort of (totally) loves Zac Efron. And because I am evil, the list of dares I sent included publicly professing her love for him. Or, more specifically:
Compose an ode to Zac Efron
So she did:
Amazing, right? No, seriously. Guys. She did that. And here is the ode written out for posterity and your entertainment:
Ode to Zac Efron
O ye of High School Musical fame
Whose ridiculous looks I tried to resist
With hair which no gel or mousse could tame
Who if others mock I will OH YES get pissed
He danced on a golf course and got all groovy
He had a ghost brother and also a ghost lay
He went to war and—oh never mind
You can excuse me for missing a Nicholas Sparks movie
Your taste might be lacking but, Zac Efron, it's OK
I'm in this for your hair, not for your mind!
I think he's okay with that.
Amy, you took on this dare like a champ. I'd bet money that this tops the odes to Zac Efron recited whilst holding a Zac Efron doll from High School Musical. So thank you.
Next up on the blog is . . . me! Send me your truths and dares here, please.
