SENIOR PROM 2006!
Wow-
Senior Prom 2006. I feel like I am winning award when I let into it like this but.... there are so many people I need to thank for it. First off, it was/is my favorite memory that I am taking from high school with me. After last year's prom, this was a heaven sent occasion. I need to thank all of my friends that made it that way- my table who made every minute of it a blast, and everyone for putting up with my and my stress lol. All of the schedules I handed out and the millions of phone calls you all got making sure things were still going the right way. Or how about all my "there are only 8 days till prom and we still dont have this, this, or this done" conversations. But look, it all worked out in the end, and it meant so much to me. HOnestly, most of you will never know what it really did/does mean to me... as I was on the dance floor dancing to "Over and Over" I really realized it. Even though I'm not close with THAT many people, I will never really have a night liek that again. And I had some realizations while dancing, some feelings that I didn't know I had erupted... and I'm still dealing with em, but I'll get through it. I know I jsut keep saying how great it was, but it truly was... no one has any idea. For one night I didnt care what ANYONE thought, but just let all of my guards down- and I mean all of them (hencing my wave of emotion, but its a price ya pay).
My date- amazing. Scott was the best person I could have taken, a dear friend with no pressure. Him being there meant the world to me, there is no one else I can think of that I would have rather spent that night with. He is always there for me, and regardless of the fact that he was a "back up date" I know I wouldnt have been happier with a "real" date. Because what really constitutes a "real date" someone who you care about... check for scott. Someone who is one of your best friends? 2 checks for scott, someone who you connect with? The only thing that is different is the physical connection, and when you have one liek scott and I do- you dont need the physcial. He wanted to make sure that senior prom was the best for me, and only a true friend can do that. I thank him for that like he will never know.
I was able to dance with everyone that I wanted to and what a great feeling that was. Again, thanks to Scott for being so flexible... but I dont really think he minded dancing with Jill ;) It's funny isn't it? The one person I REALLY wanted to go to prom with, when I look back in hindsight- I know I wouldnt have been happy going with him. Yeah, I danced with Brian, and yah it was a blast... but it comes down to the fact that we just arent the same people...and our groups would have been awkward, but never the less, it was one of the most important dances for me because of that past desire.
I danced with Gerry and Rafe... lol hell I danced a ton with Rafe- boy can he move (thanks to jill for sharing, but she didnt mind taking scottie off my hands). I was able to rock with my girls and with my boys.. it was great. There isnt a thing I would have changed (well, maybe one... or 2 if you count trying the chocolate fondue fountain! lol. But one real thing.. but why regret things?) I had the time of my life... and I owe it all to you (guys) lol I had to make a slight change to that dirty dancing lyric lol.
Again- a huge thakns to all of my friends who made prom so amazing, you put up with me in "planner" mode and I know that's got to be tough. But it all worked out great- every detail was covered and all of us looked great. Man, if I can figure out how to up load pics that would be sweet lol... ooh check em out on my myspace http://www.myspace.com/thesweetestthingaround but yeah... you guys mean the world to me. I wanted very few things out of high school, I mean REALLY wanted. And a solid ring of friends was one, a senior prom that I will always remember was another. To those who really know me, only you will know what Friday, May 12, 2006 really meant/means to me.
I thank you all-
Love,
Lauren
