All done (Prom)

So prom came and went, last saturday actually it went by pretty fast. And I’d have to say I was getting  a little nervous about the whole walking out thing being second and all. Well that and my clumsiness. (my dress was a little too long so i stepped on it or someone else did every five minutes, i thought something was bound to happen). I got a decent nights sleep the night before and my day went like this :

I woke up at 11 because my hair apppointment was at 12 at country girl and i had a faint idea of what i wanted. I was afraid id describe it wrong and hate it afterwards but it came out exactly the way i wanted it to so I was happy. My mom was being all attentive and nice, rushing around like i was getting married or something (prom’s a big deal you know). When i got home my aunt came over to help my mom put me in a dress because i had a laceup back and my mother broke one of the loops on my sister’s dress last year so i didn’t trust her with mine. my aunt laced me up while my mom kept going “carolyn…careful..careful!.” and my aunt would wave her off and laugh saying “joan…i’m fine.” the woman who hemmed my dress also did something that made part of my dress uneven and it wasnt really noticeable but you know it bothered us so my aunt, being the handy woman that she is, sewed and fixed the part of my dress so you couldn’t tell. All while she was doing this my mom needed something to do so she made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the best part being that she cut it into little triangles the way moms do for their toddlers. I had a good laugh at that and eventually i was all done. Zach came and my aunt left, i put on my shoes, zach’s mom took a few pictures, and we headed over for tylers for thousands more pictures.

At tyler’s we posed with people, the huge obnoxious limmo, and my parents. There were so many pictures it was insane, when we stood infront of the limmo there were about twenty cameras constnatly flashing, and my face got a little stiff from the smile. After Tyler’s we went to mill park for more pictures and it was a little buggy. Hence my next dilemma when we took another group shot, you know twenty more cameras flashing, stiff faces, and all of a sudden something flies down my dress. A bug found its way into the top of my dress and proceeded to tickle me, I started to laugh and i bet my face looks just great in a few peoples’ pictures and know you’ll know why i look like an idiot. I couldn’t very well reach in and get it out becuase well people would get frames of me reaching into my dress which could be awkward. So i decided to wait it out, and then… it bit me. The stupid thing just bit me, and flew out. Then it began to itch. It was fine after a while but honestly? That’s just ridiculous.

After pictures we decided to drive around in the limmo because well we had a limmo and who wants to get to the prom p review on time or early? Not Tyler! Fashionably late as they said (jk tyler)…(sort of ). A bunch more pictures there then it was time to line up and walk out. Luckily nothing happened when we walked out  but i turned too quickly and didnt wait the full 10 seconds at the front of the thing. We went down to the risers to stand and my dress got caught on the chair on the way, no biggie though. We stood for a while and i got a front row seat well standing position to see everyone in their dresses (everyone looked really pretty btw).  They called up prom court and i went to walk up, and i got my dress caught three more times on three different chairs in the same spot i got caught the first time i walked down so it took a minute to go meet tyler. we walked out, i tried to turn early but tyler nudged my arm to stay so we waited,  i got some good smelling flowers, and that was that. Kaliegh and Kevin won king and queen (yayy!) and we got to leave.

After preview we took more pictures outside, said goodbye to family, and got back in the limmo. Zach and I sat in the way back so we had control of the pannel of buttons with radio, strobe lights, etc. Once we got there it was smaller than i expected but still nice, we sat down, went outside for a bit, then went back in and had the appetizers. Zach tried to get me to dance but as I told him before, I don’t dance. He tried, failed, and gave up. We took pictures with the magnet man thing which was cool , ate dinner, and then sat again. Zach seemed bored so, i went for it. I dragged him out this time, and made him dance. we danced for the rest of the time and you know what? I actually enjoyed myself dancing! i was a little stiff at first becuase you know i dont dance and it was all rap, (i realized just how white our school was when all the rap songs came on and everyone sang along like ‘from the window ‘ ‘to the wall!’ and all those happy tunes), once journey came on with ‘dont stop believin’ ‘ i was good though and holly helped me to dance.  Eventually i took off my shoes becuase they hurt and before i knew it it was time to go.

We went back to my house after and changed, then went to the after prom party just to see how it was. My mom had bought us a pizza so we walked in eating that and of course they had tons of food already there. We got our fake money and tried a few games but the best by far was the ‘beat the dealer’ where the dealer rolls dice and you have to roll a  higher number. We pretty much stayed there all night, i won some skateland laser tag tickets  randomly and cashed in at the end of the night for tickets. i put one in this random bucket for these little toy cars just because, and the rest in for the $100 becuase zach and i had put our tickets together and i figured we could just split it if we won. We didn’t win anything but it was okay, it was fun.

So all in all, prom was a really good time. I don’t think i would’ve had as much fun though if zach wasnt there. becuase i know i wouldnt have danced, (my friends have tried but i manage to get away) and he was the perfect date (tall, dark and handsome or something like that) so i’m glad he went with me. I know i looked like an idiot but it was fun anyways. I hope everyone else had a good time too, and it wasn’t so cliche, just a lot of pictures and fun. AND i didn’t hate being in a dress like i thought i would, i felt like an octopus becuase it was so wide but i loved my dress and liked wearing it.

I think i’ve written way too much so i dont care if you dont read all of this but this is what i had to say about prom so there it is.
