prom!
Last night was prom–the night that i have been planning and preparing for since January. it was a lot of fun, although it wasn’t quite what i had expected. for starters, it was very hot and humid outside– not conducive to hair and makeup, not to mention the guys’ tuxes… but carlini was gorgeous, and the guys looked great, and JM looked stunning (despite the tulle 😛 lol) and, not to toot my own horn, but i think i looked damn good myself lol (but i’m not concieted or anything .. tee hee) promenade and picture-taking were rather uneventful (except for tom almost losing deb’s check for the pics, and then he accidently hit himself in the *ahem* which he whispered to deb, and she announced rather loudly to the others around us … i was amused ) the dance hall wasnt exactly air conditioned though, i don’t think… i recall there being a vent in one corner of the room– but of course it was the corner that was furthest from the DJ and dancing… and there were ceiling fans too… when ryan and i went to go dance, i was so hot that by the end of the third fast song, i was literally dripping sweat. luckily i had remembered to bring extra *bobbly* pins to pin up the rest of my hair (i had this half-up/half-down thing going up until then), so at least my hair wasnt laying on my neck… dinner was actually quite good, compared to last year… beef tips (or chips?) burgundy, some funny chicken thingy, steamed yellow & green squashes, red potatoes, poppyseed roll… for dessert there were assorted cookies and cakes…i had this brownie nut thing that was positively to *die* for… as andrea so eloquently put it, “its like an orgasm in your mouth” which was thereby determined to be an easily misconstrued sentance, which i found highly amusing… but you should have *tasted* this cake… like OMG… any way… dinner was actually before the dancing, so i went slightly out of order there, but you get the idea… ryan and i danced for like the 45 min or so, after which we sat down to try and cool off… we just kinda hung around the table only getting up for certain songs (but not acutally going onto the floor) for the next hour and a half… then we went back and danced some mores for the last 45 min or so. carlini and dale didn’t dance much at all.. but thats cuz carlini wasn’t feeling good… actually we were all sick to some degree or another… i’m surprised ryan danced as much as he did, b/c he had a fever, poor thing, which i didn’t even know about til the thing was almost over… there were many amusing moments throughout the evening– JM threatening someone (i think ryan?) with a fork, the macarena, JM *learning* how to dance.. alex and carlin sticking out their tounges when asked to smile… i have pictures of most, which i shall treasure for years to come…lol … oh yea…also just remembered *schmedly* tee hee.. our driver for the evening aka mr dale… good times, good times…. at anyrate, my nose is stuffed up to here (picture me raising my hand at eye level) i need to sneeze, but can’t, my throat is slightly sore/swollen, i have a headache, and i’m just praying that i don’t end up feverish like ryan and now carlin too, were… all of that is combining to leave me rather incoherent to myself, and these memories are coming at me randomly… if i remember anything else amusing later, i shall return…
peace
