Riight. So Prom! uber funsies. :)
Sat around Saturday morning. Played World of Warcraft for most of it. I have a slew of characters I bounce around between- rest XP is amazing BTW. At about 11:50 I left to go get my hair done downtown.
Small towns are great. Mom gave me $20 to get my hair done, but she wasn't sure how much it would cost. so she told me that if it was more than that, just to tell Judy (the woman doing my hair, Mom has known her forever) that she would just swing by and pay the rest later. Sure enough it came out to $30 and I was like "Yeah... Mom said she'd come by and pay later." "Sure! Have a nice day!" XD Only in a small town. Its great.
It looked a little funny... but I think mostly okay. Had a shitton of hairpins in it o_O And then I went home and sat around and played more WoW and talked to Dan.
So around 4ish Dan and I logged off and started getting ready. Threw on mah dress, worked on makeup... I only did like, foundation though to make my face a bit clearer. Joey says I look funny in makeup, so I took his advice and kept it to a minimum. Put on shoes... stuff... I dunno... and then Mom insisted on taking pictures.
Finally I made it out of there and headed to Dan's. Once there I was in the car for a little bit throwing my stuff in my bag and grabbing my camera and whatnot. In that couple minutes Dan must have spotted me and was waiting, because as I waas headinh up the steps he opened the door... and he looked great. Very nice in his black tux, holding a rose. Glee just spread on my face a little bit down my leg. KIDDING! XD I wanted to make a joke there.
And then his parents followed out and took pictures on their camera and mine. Only one of them turned out fairly well. The rest we were squinty or blinking or I was making fun of Dan and he had a funny look on his face XD
We were outta there in good time and headed towards Olive Garden! Yeah! All right! We had a short wait of about 10-15 minutes. We snagged one of the nice leather loveseats as soon as we got in, cause people were just getting up. Not long after we got there Joey and Dana came in. Funsies. We were seated in a timely fashion. I loved our waitress. Her name was Amy, I believe, and she was nice. Comented on it being prom, and was just generally very good with her service. She did forget to bring Dan his soup (and accidently brought a salad bowl instead) but she quickly fixed it. Plus she brought me another refill before I was even done and without asking. XD I hate the dregs of soda glasses/cans, so I thought that was totally amazing.
Joey and Dana sat on the other side of the little divider wall thingie. I peeked through a little "window" thing (not sure what you call them...) and occasionally threw stuff at him and said weird things XD Dana giggled.
Dan was quite charming. Such a sweetie. We had pleasant conversation over dinner. I got my favorite picture of the night at dinner. She kept eating and I kept trying to take a picture, and I told him to not eat or move! So he posed with the fork halfway in his mouth, but he's got the cutest half-smile on his face. Its my favorite <3
That and the picture that Jessica took later at prom was really pretty looking.
We got out of there with about an hour to spare. So we headed out and tried to track down the Opera House. I knew it was on East Front Sreet, but people FAILED TO TELL ME that EFS is just the main street downtown. That would have made life easier if someone said that! Well we did about 2-3 passes at the block and finally saw it. We still had lots of time, so I parked and we sat in the car and chatted for a little while before finally making our way there.
We stood around and chilled and waited for them to officially open. I can say Dan and I were officially the first ones to check in and go into the room! Yay!
Sat around. Tried to eat some of the great chocolate covered food, but I was SO stuffed. Dan paid for diner BTW :) He's such a sweetie.
We sat around for a little bit and gradually more friend peeps showed up. They played some good music in the beginning (Black Betty, Fat-Bottomed girls) but it went kind of downhill when they got into the stuff that all sounded the same. But at least some of it was deec. I Love Rock and Roll was a good hit. Everyone sang. Whoo!
:DDD And I got Dan to dance! That was seriously lke the best part for me. I don't think he even really gets that. The only time anyone has ever REALLY danced with me before was at prom last year, and even then Matt was kinda tired or sickish and didn't do a whole lot. So was sooo happy Dan danced. Sadie Hawkins he really didn't at all. He kinda chilled there XD But this time he did the typical man-swaying ish dancing, and that was all I wanted. *happyhappyhappy!*
We got out of prom a little early because Dan was tired, the poor thing. XD It was passed his bedtime! Plus I probably wore him out with my excessive enthusiasm.
Took him back to his place and we went to bed around 2-3ish. ._. although I really didn't want to go back there. his parents make me sleep out on the couch. We can't even sleep in the same ROOM together, which is ridiculous and heart-breaking, especially after such an amazing night.
Although I eventually got over it after some tossing and turning, and getting distracted by Raccoons.
I heard some noises coming from outside, so I peeked out the window and saw a big dark shape moving around and poking at a garbage can lid. A minute or two later there was another one, and they made these funny chirping noises. I figured they were Raccoons, which its pretty impossible to think they were anything else with the way thy sounded, looked, and acted.
So I fell asleep shortly after I was done watching the coons. I woke up again sometime in th morning and found the kitten! Dan's Mom just got a new kitten about a week or two ago. I snuggled with him for a bit before he hopped away. Shrotly after he came back and nestled in the crook of my legs, and I fell back asleep.
I woke up again a little while after that when his Mom and Dad were up, and Dan was just getting up. As he disappeared into the bathroom, I darted into his room and snagged him computer.
Then I just hung around there for a little bit before going home.
He is amazing. He spent all his birthday money on getting a tux to wear for prom. he got a little bit of money from his grandparents for working on the archery range and he spent a portion of that on dinner. He got out on the dancefloor with me, and he hates dancing.
Why?
Because he told me quite a few times "This night is for you." He just wanted to make sure I had the best night possible.... and it was a really great night. He went all out. And almost all day we were out at dinner, or driving around in the car, he couldn't take his eyes off me. He said himself he just couldn't not look at me. Even when I was dancing and he was off talking to Mark I would look over and I could see him steal a glance at me occasionally.
I don't think I've ever felt that way before, the way I feel when I'm with him. I've come a long way... and I'm liking where I am.
So was prom fun?
Hell yes.
