the promenade
so yesterday was prom. people say it's the biggest night of your life, and that's entirely true. next to my wedding dress, my prom dress will be the most important dress i ever wear.
ha! hardly. i met paulina at around 5 and our limo took us to caprice's for dinner, as it was her 17th birthday. it was a neat-o restaurant built over the water with a bitchin' view. I saw someone catch a ray and it was really sad, but luckily it escaped. after dinner we proceeded to prom and got to the stanford court around 8. we proceeded down the line of breath-smelling teachers. they all gave me hugs except j, who ignores me now. i had heard awful things about last year's prom and i was pleasantly surprised. my date was gorgeous, as was everyone else (especially myself), and even though teachers were staring at us/breaking us up all the time it was still pretty fun. i danced pretty much the entire time (aside from water breaks) and by 11 i was pretty done. i took a limo back to becky's with the sams, lucy, paulina, tim, and gabe. and then it all went downhill. i drank WAY too much and although i had a good time at the party, paulina and i got into a fight and i ended up getting really, really sick. i ended up crashing at casey strong's (although i did a lot more throwing up than sleeping) and david picked up me and paulina at 10. my morning was truly hellish, and when i got home i slept until dinner. so overall, a very good experience, although i got a potent lesson on the evils of drinking and i learned about self-control the hard way.
