The debs
There's no way I'm gonna be goin into great detail here, because it was such a long night and so much happened that I'd surely miss out on a whole load of stuff.
The day itself was quite dull, it was lashing rain up until around midday when it started to get lighter. As you guys know, I was bored waiting for people. It really is hell, the few hours BEFORE something big. Luckily by the time we were leaving the rain had stopped.
Anywho, people started arriving maybe 5:45ish, possibly earlier, I didn't take note of it. Emma arrived a while before that, ironically she was the first here when I thought she'd be one of the last. Áine looked beautiful, really amazing in her dress. I have a good lot of photos on my digital camera, so I'll stick them on here later or tomorrow.
Close to 6 I was wonderin where the hell Conor was at. He got here a little after 6 (when we were meant to be leavin in the limo at 6ish). His date's dress didn't arrive until maybe half an hour before he arrived. Luckily the limo was late too, didn't get here until after 6:30 I think. Got pics with the limo before heading off to collect Niamh. Got more pics with the limo there. Then again at Lauren's before setting off.
Conor's date for the night, Laura, was such a party girl. She was a great laugh to have there, and her and Áine were chattin away. Turns out she's actually doing my exact course in DCU as well, so I've already made one friend there. :D She should make it more interesting. Didn't fancy her or anythin, but she'll be great for partyin with. She was doin shots a lot of the night.
Stopped at an off-licence right near Lauren's to get some drinks for the limo. Áine bought one of those big bottles of Smirnoff Ice, so we shared that, though I had two glasses and she only had one. I think after the last debs she was at where she got really drunk, she was being more careful this time. The limo was really cool, and our driver was dead sound. Niamh called him "Smithy" though his name was Tony. He didn't mind. :-p The trip there was fine, though not long before we got there the lads were all dyin for a piss, so we got out and went at the side of the road.
The hotel where the debs was on was pretty nice. In fairness I've seen more spectacular ones, but it really was great. Everybody looked so cool in their fancy clothes. Girl's dresses were all beautiful.
The meal was not great. It was some kind of meat-meat. Not chicken, not ham. It was either beef or lamb, not sure. We were meant to have an option, but we didn't get one. Aside from a few veggie meals that had been requested, but that was pasta. I ate a bread roll and some mashed potato. I REALLY wasn't hungry, it was quite strange. I've no appetite anymore. A lotta people weren't too impressed by the meal though.
I couldn't tell ya how many drinks I had.... It was a lot, not a WHOLE LOAD, but it was definitely a fair bit. I was locked for sure. When they said last orders I went up and ordered 4 more Smirnoff Ice, though I drank one and a quick swig of another (as we were leaving). Niamh had one, but I dunno what happened with the others. Had 1 and a half fat frogs as well.
I danced SO MUCH. At one stage I figured I'd danced to every song, even if it wasn't the entire song. I think I'm gettin pretty good at it, thanks to those "lessons" Anne-Marie, Aisling and Janice gave me at Lauren's party. I danced with quite a few people. The DJ was awesome, he played some of the best songs. Even my 2 all-time favourite dance songs "Pump It Up" and "Summer Jam" which I just LOVE dancing to. Also played 3 slow songs in a row which I was a bit annoyed with, cos they were almost depressing. S'pose the couples needed a chance to get close though. I did dance to James Blunt with Laura (Conor's date for the night), but I wasn't that great at it.
They played that damn "Graduation Song", yanno the one by Vitamin C. I coulda killed them. It got me all upset. Went into the bathroom til I thought I was okay. Came back out and that's when I really started. Niamh took me outside but it was remindin me of us all graduatin and then goin off to different places. The people in the year were such a great bunch, and we're never all gonna be together like that again. :\ I got over it though.
Buses left after 5, which was annoying, cos they weren't meant to be leavin til 6, or that's what we were told before. Most people were knackered and fell asleep on the bus. Áine did, and all my other friends. I nodded off a few times, but I was feelin kinda sick at that stage. Kept puttin my head forward to try and help it, but the bus movin wasn't helping at all. I think I was just gettin dehydrated, cos I hadn't had anything normal to drink in a while, and I probably shoulda gotten some water before I left.
Got back into Swords maybe 10/15 past 6 and went up to order a taxi. A friend of Áine's from her Gaelic was in a taxi and called her over, so we got that with her. I forgot I had a key so I rang the doorbell, everyone woke up, but I was just shattered so I said I'd talk to 'em today. Got into bed at 6:25am. Woke up 6 hours later and couldn't get back asleep, was lyin there for a while. Had 2 glasses of water to help the dehydration. I'm gettin there. Not hungover. Possibly still a bit tipsy cos I keep swayin when I go to sit down, though that could just be from being so tired.... Still haven't talked to anyone, cos dad's gone to work, Emma (who ended up stayin the night apparently) is gone home, KK's in school, and mam's asleep.
Awesome night. Amazing night. Unforgettable night. Best night EVER. I wanna do it again. xD
