Weekend Recap...of sorts...
Well, to those that are interested, I already went into my incoherent, half-asleep review of Prom, now I'll go in-depth about the details...
I started getting ready about 2 hours before I left, mostly because I had not much I really had to do. Make-up, hair, dress, and mom insisted that I wear perfume, but I opted for her violet lotion instead.
I do have pics... And this hardly looks like me... Behind cut for those of you who are not interested/have dial-up...
Mom made me pose for a few pictures... Gah, these were the best though...
Yeah, that was kind of strange for me. I felt like a barbie doll...
Anyway, Aerie picked me up at 7:30, we got to the place a little after 8-ish. And then I was bored.
I kind of felt really silly in my dress, as everyone else's was all fancy and had a train, and all that stuff, but I do also like my dress... I saw Veronica and Sarah, so I was happy.
It was stupid. The idiot DJs would NOT STOP playing hip hop... I hate that music. So I was an idiot and started dancing in my heeled boots the first song I was really able to. My feet still hurt.
I managed to get into a couple of poker games (the theme was Casino Royale, after all), but I have no idea how to play Texas Hold'em, so I was lost.
Found a few more friends, in the order: Angelina, who I haven't seen in AGES. She went to the college through Running start so she hasn't been at the school. Jordan, the guy I've had a small crush on since mid-last year, but haven't acted on. Virgil, the boy I hardly know from fourth period, but he seems nice enough. Sarah joined along so we all danced to rediculous songs.
When the next slow dance came along, I felt like asking someone, but I couldn't gain the guts to ask Jordan. I'd try, but then I would start hyperventilating and run away. Sarah caught this (she's had a small obsession with him for about 4 years) and told him that I was upset and maybe he should ask me. Luckly, she didn't say why I was upset. Slow dance was over by then... It was something fast, and as soon as I saw them coming toward me, I ran.
It was actually really cute. He walked by and said hi. I looked at him, kind of confused, and then he walked back. He said that he couldn't find his dancing partner, so he wanted to know if I wanted to go out there and dance with him... I look to Sarah, who winks. So I accept, and he leads me down to the dance floor. I had no idea what the hell I was doing so he positioned my arms and then we started doing this mix between a waltz and a jig...
The song ended ten seconds after we got out there. He bowed, I bowed (at least I think I did), and then I briskly walked out of there. I headed straight for the bathroom, where I nearly ran into Sarah. We were in there for a while, I was freaking out.
Veronica comes in and says it's the last dance so she should probably find her date. I follow her to the dance floor, and I'm looking on, because I feel like asking someone, but I have no idea who to ask. Then Virgil walks near me.
I think fast, and I go up to him. Swallow my embarrassment and ask him. He accepts so we start dancing... It was a slow song, and we were out there for a while.
The last song was Bohemian Rhapsody. I was happy. After that, Aerie and I left.
Okay, this is a little long, so I'm going to do Sunday's parade in a seperate post.
Farewell...
