prom pics!!!
okay, i'll go back and edit this with an actual post about prom, but i'm about to leave so here are the pics! [when i got my pics developed, they offered a cd as well for an extra $3, and since i'm such an lj whore i was all like heck yes.] i've got another roll to finish and i still need to get my friends to upload their pictures already... so.. more pics to come!
[edit]--okay, prom.
basically the entire day leading up to prom was extremely stressful. we had to rush from appointment to appointment, makeup being the last. it took FOREVER. well, i guess my friends were done with relatively quickly, but mine took longer. i think i had to wait longer for the makeup artist to start working on me, but also it took them a million years to find a foundation that matched my exact shade of paleness [apparently undertones are a million times more important if you're really fair] and also it took them a while to conceal my really crappy skin. both of these things made me feel really crappy. they did a good job though [i went to chanel]. except they didn't really do my eyes the way i wanted them, but i fixed them myself in the car. rachel, robyn, and i all departed the area together in rachel's dad's station-wagon-esque car [it was a realllly nice car, though] and then we went to pick up michael from his house and then raney and john from raney's apartment. oh, and we were an hour late to prom. but that doesn't matter because we still had an awesome time.
i guess the only thing i regret about it is not getting there early enough; i would've liked to take more pictures and mingle, but that's okay. i liked the fact that no one in our prom posse knew how to dance and yet we danced the whole time anyway. we probably looked really dumb, but who cares? they played some really great music, too, i was surprised!
amazing picture of robyn.
i am concentrating real hard on this boutonniere.
i look pissed off and fat. note the double chin and fat arm.
i love this picture. we're in front of raney's apartment building.
here's john and michael with their dad. he's the head chef at the place where we had prom [dallas world trade center.]
our bitchin' table. many members were missing in this shot.
alex and her boyfriend, blake. he's in the marines but flew down for the weekend to go to prom with her! he didn't have time to get a tux, so he wore his formal marine garb. aren't they adorable?
jake and hope. jake's breasts are exploding out of his tux.
marissa and zach. marissa didn't look like she was having fun at all the whole time. :[ at least she smiled for the camera.
john and michael being twins.
basically the hottest picture ever. robyn and alex.
rachel bustin' some moves.
kara and lance dancing to "one two step".
raney and rachel being creepy and blurry john.
john and i slow dancing. sorta.
robyn and i felt that prom was just.. too much prom.. for one hand.
highlights of the night--
+ not really getting a good look at myself until i went in the bathroom and being really surprised. i'd thought i looked crappy the whole time i was getting ready.
+ amazing tunes such as "thriller", "ymca", that usher song that goes yeah yeah, my favorite alicia keys song, "I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS"--we played this at our 80's party and slowdanced to it!!, "footloose", annnnd some more awesome songs i can't remember.
+ not ever falling down in my shoes!
+ winning the award for most artistic and people actually gave a shit about it and cheered for me. it was really cool that i'd never really talked to some of these people, but they still knew who i was and were glad i won. :] it was like wow.. i guess me existing really does make some kind of a difference.
+ the entire table behind us laughing about a horrible joke i made that i didn't realize was so audible.
+ constantly shouting "TOO MUCH PROM FOR ONE HAND"
+ amazingly talented dancers. that is all i will say.
+ the prom posse slow dancing as one unit in a huge circle to "i wanna know what love is" and singing the lyrics very loudly and off key. when we were done, we had a people=free radius around us. awesome.
+ staying the whooole time and enjoying every minute of it.
not so cool things:
- some people at our table seemed like they weren't ever trying to have a good time.
- our prom picture backdrop resembled deb's glamour shots backdrops from napoleon dynamite. it was a black background with gold tinsel in fron of it. ew.
- not enough mingling and picture-taking
but yeah, all in all, i had a blast, and i'm sad i'll never go to another prom. oh well. now that prom's over, it seems graduation is even closer. :[ i'm going to cry my eyeballs out at graduation.
