okay im not gonna lie, prom was decent. and i wish it couldve stayed that way, because after i lost all my pics, im kinda bitter about it. but ill figure it out...
im trying to remember what the rest of the week consisted of... wednesday was the shopping extravaganza with courtney, thursday was the meeting from all hell, friday was the awards night (i got the school spirit award! woohoooo) and the me + mary covert op: graduation party invitations. somehow we ended up in scarsdale all shady in amandas driveway.. we got pina colada slurpees at 7/11 and ran around... rummaged thro jp's room to find donkey kong and watched the lizzie mcguire movie lol. saturday was john's confirmation party... fun times with the fam... then sunday was the baccalaureate mass, everyone looked cute, joseph came. my fam and meg and the dipster went to party time jorge's... incredible. then i went home, anthony had been driving by so i went over, hes my favoritest. we went to stop & shop and then mary came over to watch pretty in pink with us, and then all hell broke loose about the afterparty.. the night before prom, mind you. terrible. that basically sums up the remainder of the week.
so prom day, all went according to sched, got my nails done, christinas aunt mary came over and did my hair and makeup amazingly, and everyone came over to take pics and whatnot. then me meg and caroline got in the car and didnt pay the guy lol, and it turns out that our "limo crew" were the only ones taking the ferry, along with steveo and ms kusk... fun times. mrs regis and mrs luger took a million pics, cuties, and christoph (surprisingly) came through with a really really pretty orchid corsage. no one recognized me, it was amazing.
so we got there, and there were ppl, not many yet, but we stayed outside awhile and took pics while the sun was still out. then we went in and chilled on the little porch thing and there was a sunshower, so pretty, and then the lights started coming up in the city, it was gorgeous. no one danced until about 9 or 9:30, we were all kind of just chilling and talking and taking pics. my table was kick ass, torie and jordan, mary and alex, me and christoph, kevin, and i think aj?
so then like, toxic comes on and everyone starts dancing, and i requested beyonce, amazing. hmm what else, we embarrassed ourselves in front of faculty (ps btw... bolton= super fun in a tux!) oh and then we went to sign up to get pics taken, and i tripped and ripped my dress! :( tear, but the ruffle covered it up so it wasnt so bad. i hope the professional pics come out well... i made christoph not smile like a retard, hopefully lol.
jenna came, and was wearing the same dress as karl's gf.. haha. oh man i dont even know what else to say, the actual prom was really a great time. baker really was in a rush to leave, i dont understand why, but we stuck it out. the food wasnt so bad either. ppl were joking about how the place looked shady on the outside, but they changed their minds once they got inside! with the monkey pirate lamps and all lol.
so then we got in the limo, and greg broke out the champagne, and we did the everyone needs to pick up their bags manhattan wide tour, ending at the helmsley, so the girls (and ej) could get changed. ppl kept calling us to come so me caroline and nora went over early, and i met ppl at mcdonalds. by the time i got upstairs, i was at the actual afterparty for literally 5 minutes before the security came and kicked us out.
so at this point, my entire class is running around times square, scrambling for a place to go, and me christoph and vincent wait on a corner for mary to come. luke comes over, half retarded, and wants to come where we're coming, and so he and christoph head up to luigis early. i went to pick up my bags at the helmsley where meg caroline laura liz and alex were staying. pretty much everyone else went home, or to the hotel room greg rented, or to luigis. except baker, whos prob arrested for all we know bc the marriott rooms were under his name. special.
ive really lost all track of time right now. hmm anyway, i got to luigis and theres the most random crew ever in the whole world there. we played grade school games cuz most everyone was drunk already, so spin the bottle and truth or dare and never have i ever came out lol, too embarrassing. and then we watched aladdin, and vincent started talking about rug burn ointment, and charles was so high he was conducting the sountrack to the movie... and then, by the grace of god, i scored a bed and went to sleep around 7am. apparently, there were some krispy kreme runs, but i wouldve passed outtt lol.
so then in the morning, i had to haul ass to school and paint. stefan showed up for a bit, crazy man, he didnt go to prom. but for the most part i was alone, just crying about the pictures and everyone looking so amazing and the night and graduation so close and waking up to last kisses... and the new cure song came on, and i was done. i just laid down, got paint in my hair, and bawled. i couldnt help it.
oh of course i left some things out... they'll show up eventually. for now tho, this is all i can say: it wasnt so bad, considering. we rocked our prom like its our job. and anyway, as female social rep, it kind of was... :)
