Prom

So, I know it has taken me a long time to write this but I have been really busy with the show.

Any way,Prom:

At two I went to my hair appointment, and it looked awesome.The curls were tight and I looked like a cute lion.Before that I had gotten my butineer (?) and it looked really good.When my mom had ordered it she said "funky, not red" (because I was wearing black and a red rose is so cliche). Any way the flower was a yellowish-green, with little purple flowers around it, and a metal twirly thing attached.

Then I went to my friend's house to get ready. We blasted the movie soundtrack of Chicago, and talked about our dates (in a good way).We were both really bummed that we didn't have gartars, so we borrowed some from her sister's room, and put them on just for a few pictures.When it was time to go upstairs for actual pictures I was really nervous for some reason.But our guys looked great and we took some fun photos.

After that we hopped in my dates car, and went to Biaggi's for dinner.This is a really nice italian resturant, and of course it was packed with other prom-goers.I didn't get a lot, because I wasn't that hungry, and because my dress was very form-fitting (didn't want no pooch).But I got a salad, a virgin pina colada, and the appetizer bread.

On the way to the dance, we almost hit a possum.Now that's romantic.But we got there okay, and everybody looked spectacular.They had free cookies and things, but the actual "dance-floor" was miniscule.But whatever, I danced, had a good time.Of course I danced with my date the most. And my best friend. But we aren't actually dating, so I was free to dance with other people too.

After that we went back to my friends house, where we took the pictures, and we changed to go to post-prom. But we had some time to kill, so we layed down on the fouton and all cuddled! When we got there I saw some people that weren't at the dance and I showed them some HOT pictures. There were the inflatable games and stuff, so I did the obstacle-course one and got my elbows scraped up real bad!But it didn't matter because it was all too fun.

Then, since I had the coolest date ever, we watched him and some other people play in their jazz band. And guess what? We DANCED!! I fell over a couple times, ok a lot, but it was much better than the prom dancing. One, because it was real music, not some too-much-bass-unintelligable-lyrics-rap-"music"!! And because we knew the people playing. Of course their weren't buttload of people there, so that helped.

The next part is the best. I would like to challenge all you readers to think of a more spontaneous, romantic thing to do after prom! My two friends and I blindfolded our dates, and drove them to a hill. We set up a bunch of blankets, plates and some candles. Then we got out the food for our picnic and spread it out.(This is 5 o clock in the morning by the way)We unblindfolded the guys and ate our breakfast, then had a big long cuddly nap, outside in the freezing cold, watching the sunrise.
Perfect.

We actually got too cold at around 7, plus we weren't really supposed to be there anyway, so we went back to the house. There, we fell into a very satisfying 3-hour sleep, all spooning one another.Tee hee.

But I got home at 10-ish and slept there until 3.It was amazing. Prom is not overrated, at least not the one I had, and I (along with my best friend who went) am only a freshman, so I have atleast two more to go.....

Sounds like you and your gang had an exhausting and happy time, and I'm so glad for you. Of course, we're all still waiting for the hot pictures of you in your hot dress and your date (the one Plug thinks is so great). You must have stored up enough memories to carry you through the next couple of months. Just for the record: "butineer" is really "boutonniere" with a backward accent over the first "e". (Thank you, Funk & Wagnalls.) Guess you'll learn these French words when you move to Canada. Then you'll be dazzling in two countries. It's a start!

To me it's not a real prom unless a Waffle House is included somehow. Better luck next time.

We don't have Waffle House here - boo!

I would have uploaded prom pics yesteday is a certain creative brick had not been hogging the computer. Soon though.

Rake said...

Yeah, it was definately tight. But in my journal I filled up more room writing about CLOSING NIGHT than I did Prom...

Anyway, we acually had waffles at our picnic, so there!

And Plug, learn how to spell.....GOD!!

Oh wait, I can't talk.

Hey - my misspellings were the result of having to write furiously fast in the 20 seconds I was allotted on the computer. GOD!

Prom was fun. That was by far the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.
