i am SO unmotivated. god. i dont even wanna finish my college apps, 5 of which are due by friday. erg...
sarah hoban was SO right about the senior year cycle. for the first few months until december, everyones life is taken over by college. then after winter break everyone becomes obsessed about prom. so far shes on point! i was so sick of people talking about applications and acceptance letters and blah blah blah and im SO relieved that everyone has finally shut the hell up about it. but NOW everyones like BEACH HOUSE and DATE and DRESS yada yada. i admit it, its fun to hear about it and bitch about it, but i get home and all i can think about is if ill find a dress or if my mom will make it in time and if HE will go with me and if well find a good beach house and who else will BE in our house and ugh...
speaking of HIM, katie and monica are forcing me to somehow ask him to prom by friday. AGH! monica is blackmailing me by saying that if i DONT ask him she will tell him that i have the biggest crush on him, and therefore will set up a conversation with us three that MUST culminate in my asking him who hes going to prom with, if he isnt going with his gf then i am supposed to ask if he wants to go with me. and if hes going with her, well, i suppose ill have to find another date. katie threatened me with bodily harm. she actually SAID that 'i'm taking a mental health day on friday but if you dont ask him i WILL find out and i will actually DRIVE to the BOONDOCKS WHERE YOU LIVE and i will KICK your ASS!' in a very vehement manner. lol. it was actually kinda funny, since i dont think katie COULD kick my ass but anyway... so i have to mentally prepare myself. and its not like my entire future is riding on this because it would make sense for him and me to go together if hes not going with his gf since hes supposed to be in the same house as us and im the only person he talks to anyway plus were both european elitists and therefore PERFECT for each other! that makes sense in MY head anyway... there is another guy in school i would like to go with but he probably thinks i am a hyperactive freak even though he started being nice to me lately, but anyway... plus if i went with him id have to sit with a certain unsavory character who i would much rather MOVED to IOWA where dumbasses like him belong.
BACK to prom stuff... i need a dress. and i dont wanna just BUY one. even though ill probably have to in the end. my mom said shell MAKE one for me, and thats all very nice, but i think we should have started by now... i mean, it takes a WHILE to find fabric and patterns and stuff, and im sure that making a corset top of a dress will take a month. ugh. i even KNOW WHAT I WAN TIT TO LOOK LIKE, i just need it made. gr. i was thinking either lilac or yellow. any other suggestions? i dont want it to be the standard prom dress in pink/red/black/blue. because thats boring. so either lilac with silver beads and embroidery, or yellow with gold or silver stuff. AND i need to start looking for an updo that is different from the one i had last year. god help me!
