The Last Prom of Senior Year
Ode to sleep:
I long for thee, the times that we are apart I feel empty inside, as if I were a zombie walking in a shadow world until I am once again in your loving embrace.
I am recovering from CHCA's prom. It was fabulous. As I stated in the last prom, I did not know the girl I was going with until I talked to her on the phone on tuesday, and I met her in person for the first time saturday when I picked her up. Her name is Kayleigh and she is a very cool person. I met her, met her family, had the first set of pictures taken, then drove her to Laura's house. There we met Joe and Laura, and all four sets of parents took a second set of pictures. This took a very long time. I do not like pictures, but parents make it worse. They are always telling you what to do, especially on the smile. "Oh come on, smile bigger! No! Not that big! Thats just fake, do a real smile! No, that one looks dumb. I don't care if its your real smile, smile pretty!"
Laura wanted to take a walk. Joe and I were going to do whatever the girls wanted to do, and Kayleigh caved. So there we were, two couples in suits and dresses walking down the street. The dresses were not just dresses either, these were gigantic things. I was tripping over Kayleigh's all night long, and Laura's was just as bad. So the girls were holding their skirts up as we walked down the street with all of the neighbors staring out of their windows at us. Joe played it cool and did the parade wave. The parents thought we were dumb when we got back, but took a third set of pictures, this one thankfully short. We put all of our stuff in Joe's car and left for prom.
Joe was driving a nice car. Mercedes. It has wonderful acceleration, can go quite fast, and takes turns really well. Not that we would know, but I can say it defintely was faster than the Corvette Raymond was driving. The girls looked stunning. I hope to one day get pictures from all three proms and post them. Kayleigh was in a cream (not white) strapless dress that looked like a maid of honor thing while Joe and Laura had a matching white and red strapless dress and tux going. Pretty much everyone looked great, and I got to wear Joe's pink tie again, which made me happy.
At prom we ate some decent food (rice AND lasagna? two carbs at once? who planned this meal?) with the coolest table of all time. Joe Nick John Raymond and Derek with their dates Laura Adrienne Emily Becca and Kayleigh. Conversation was witty and entertaining, Adrienne seuxally harassed me, so everything was very relaxed and normal. We then hit the dancing. Nick made up a dance that we joined in and everyone laughed with us (because we were laughing at us). Good times, tried my best not to embarrass Kayleigh with my dancing or step on her dress and failed at both. We finally learned how to pretzel at the very end of the last swing song. Just to point out, Joe and Laura are a very cute couple, perhaps the cutest I have ever seen.
We went to Joe's, broke out the Red Bull on the ride back. We changed and headed out to Afterprom. Nick Ray John and I signed up for Kareoke and then went to play foosball and euchre. Laura is really bad at euchre. At kareoke, I have to thank Brittanny for singing that duet, it was "unforgettable". It was incredibly relaxed.
After that, we headed over to IHOP for breakfast. I had fun getting hit in the face with wet straw wrappers, then putting everything I could find in her drink, then drinking it. Grey (this girl I met there) scared me a bit when she and Nick started talking. THe pancakes were good, but something made me go absolutely NUTS in the car on the way to dop Kayleigh off. I blamed it on the IHOP people lacing my pancakes with speed, but now I think it might be that I had a lot more of the Laura's Water than everyone else. I think I may have created a new drug by mixing sweet and low with table salt and pepper. Codine is my favorite drug FYI. Laura wouldn't stop laughing the whole way back, and I was so hyper I couldn't stay still. The sun came up as we dropped Laura off, I picked up my stuff at Joe's, and went home. I was in bed by 7am.
Kayleigh, thank you so much for a wonderful night, you were an awsome blind date.
The Guys, thanks for setting it up so I could come and hang out, it was a blast.
Sleep, thank you for being there for me in times of hardship.
French test tomorrow, got to go study
