PROM!
So yeah, prom was definitely on saturday, and it definitely rocked.
up until the end, anyway.
So I got my dress on friday and it fits perfectly, except the straps were kinda long. but it was fine. so then i went to the wonderfuls concert after that, and holy crap they are effing AWESOME! we danced pretty good. and i was definitely sore the next day for prom. but it was all good, i got to stretch my muscles before i danced at prom.
so i went to get my hair done at 10:15 over in WI. I was able to get myself there and back without any problems and without having to call for help, or having to turn around! YAY! i was proud of myself. So I got a pretty simple up-do. i didnt want anything fancy. and she also did my make-up. it looked wonderful!
so i go home and its like, 12. so i started to watch Amelie to pass time. I loved it! although i couldnt finish it because the DVD was being poopy. so if anyone has it and wants to lend it to me....thatd be great.
so finally i start to get ready around 3:45. i got pretty frazzled, though. i felt like i was forgetting stuff. but it ended up being okay. my straps were really annoying, so i took them off (it was originally strapless). i thought it ironic because i was so adamant about having straps. and i also had a shawl and a really awesome vintage purse my mom gave me. so i take some pictures at home and then steph comes to pick me up and we head over to alyssas for pictures. that was...frazzling. then we headed to school for professional pics, which was even more frazzling. no one knew what to do because we wanted a "girly pic" and there were 14 of us. yeah, that was definitely stressful. so we got pictures and thats finally over with, so we headed back to stephs for more pictures. my dad was videotaping, too. that was unneccessary and annoying. anyway.
we then headed back over to alyssas for the party bus. it shows up and its like a coach bus but not with the coach seats. it was seated more like a limo on the inside, but it was an actual bus. that was good. so we get to prom right before they start taking down the buffet and they had turned off all the lights for dancing. so i ate in haste and unattractively coz i wanted to dance. so we danced! and it was a blast! i just wish i couldve had luke there to dance with me. i felt kinda awkward around all these couples.
i got nice compliments on my dress. oh, i suppose i should describe it. its apple red and has embroidery stuff on the chest. it has ruches (scrunches) in the stomach area and was very slimming on me. i loved it! it was like, THE dress for me. no joke. i <3 it.
but then everything went wrong near the end. they decided to play "Graduation" by Vitamin C. I EFFING HATE THAT SONG! yeah, its pretty and has awesome lyrics, but it brings back such bittersweet memories. it was jackies song with all of her friends before she moved. yeah, for those of you who dont know, jackie is an ex-friend of mine. so yeah, i was trying not to cry and it felt like everyone walked away from me during that song. even my best friend, who knows how i feel about the song, didnt do anything. and it was also her 18th birthday on sunday, so after that song i tried to cheer up and have a good end note. well, the dance ends and i go to steph, "Steph, youre 18!" and shes like, "its not midnight yet, so no im not." and im like, "well, it probably is" and she just walked away and i still had to put my shoes on. yeah, that made me feel appreciated.
so then we board the party bus again. we tried to walk through the drive-through at wendys, but they wouldnt let us. bitches. and then we danced on the bus and headed for home. that was where everything really went wrong.
so all my stuff was over at beckys because thats where i thought we were sleeping. no, steph decides she wants to sleep over at jens, when she told me on friday she didnt want to. i was under the impression that we were gonna go to jens for a bonfire, then head to beckys or somebody elses house for a sleep-over. so i end up getting screwed over and i felt like a hassle because becky lives kinda far away and extrememly out of the way from jens. so i end up just going home and all my efforts to make the rest of my night fun were wasted. that was the part i was looking forward to the most, and i end up going home and crying. i was extremely pissed and i still am now.
but at least i had a blast at the dance, and i turned quite a few heads. :D
but i made up for a bad night. i went to walgreens and got a big posterboard, a stuffed flower and then a bouquet at fest for steph. i made her a giant card and put a few pictures of us and the lyrics to her favorite song. and of course, some personal heart-felt words. then i delivered them that evening. so yeah, i dunno. im still really frustrated at steph for not wanting to spend time with her best friends. becky ended up not having anyone over. steph seemed to screw us all over. oh well. its over and done with, and i want to focus on the good parts.
so yeah, that was my weekend. <3333
