Prom Update

So, I figure that since I've been pretty stressed about prom, I might as well give an account about what it was like.

It wasn't that serious.

It wasn't worth the stress. It all went by so quickly. Before I knew it, it was the next day. I learned that limos are overrated. The DJ played these three genres: Spanish music, Dancehall, Rap. Very few rockish poppish songs. Single Ladies was played mad early in the night. The music wasn't that great. The best parts of the night was seeing all the pretty people and taking pictures with Natasha Culpepper and Tara McDermott. We took some silly pics. I finally warmed up to my dress, I must admit I looked good. Not what I had envisioned, but I did look good. SO glad I did not wear the other Cinderalla looking dress (check out two posts ago for details). In the end, I just stressed morethan I should of. Prom is just a fancy dance party. And it's not even about the dancing. Anyway, my "after prom" event was sleeping over at Natasha Culpepper's house. It was so spontaneous! We were gonna watch Disney movies, but we were too tired, so we watched a few sing-a-longs and called it a day. Slept from 2 'til about 10:45ish. Tara had to work Friday, so we didn't even hang that day. Could have gone to the movies with Natasha but I didn't feel like it and Mom forgot to equip me with money -_-. In general, prom was nice, but not as spectacular as it had seemed.

So about the annoying stuff that happened.
1) NEVER AGAIN will I be in a limo with unorganized and inconsiderate people. I had to leave prom 30-45 minutes early because fellow limomates had to go to an after party. I found this out ten minutes prior to out supposed departure. I feel like I was used just to subtract from the limo expense. Meh-run piseed me off so much; never again will I ride in a vehicle with her -_______-
2) So, Jeremy speaks and so of his spit gets on my arm. I wipe it on him and he's like "What?" I say, "You spit on me." And do you know what he said? He goes, "Does that remind you of something?" The nerve! Jeremy: "I'm sorry, I had to." I just ignored him. And I was upset, but damn it to hell if I let this fool ruin my night.
3) My friend was upset because somebody touched her inappropriately while she was on the dance floor. She didn't know who it was and she felt disgusted with herself. I told her that someone had told me something unkind (I was referring to Jeremy) and that I did not let it ruin my night. I told her to have fun on this night; there will never be another high school prom! I think she felt a bit better after that. Geez, these people and their sex dancing! It was disgusting to watch.

And the 2010 Prom Queen and Prom King are *drumroll*:
Christina Mayer and
KAMAL WILLIAMS! W00T!

Take that popularity! Our class defied all that is popular. For King and Queen, I voted Kamal and Kayon. But I love how the two least likely candidates became the most likely candidates by the very virtue of their unpopularity. GREEEEEAT! =D

The Prom Princess was Taylor? something and The Prince was Julian Bristol. W00T! Go Julian! xD Princess and Prince was determined by picking names out of a bag or something. Yeah.

So yeah, that's pretty much my Prom experience. Thank Jesus that it is over. I learned that my wedding will be much more well planned and that I will not limo will ridiculous people -_____-. Also, I won't stress over things and make things worse than they really are. And next time, I will be in control of my own look.

The End :)

Prom... ugh

Yeah. This prom stuff is not going over too well. Things are just not going how I want them to go! >.< And it sucks! I think the reason why I'm stressing it so much is because this is the moment that you wait for your entire high school career and one of the memories you will forever look back on. I wanted to make it spectacular! But that's not happening. I got a dress, but it's not what I wanted. It's pretty, like the other dress, but it's not what I had in mind at all. I feel like a hooker in it and it looks more like an after prom dress. But I am giving up. Sadly, I am giving up. After prom is not happening either. I paid $105 for a limo that will not be picking me up in Co-op, and will not be taking me after prom anywhere. Straight home I is going. And I'd have the limo from 1:30 to like, 3:45. God, help me to let it go! It is only prom. God, seriously, please take this from me. I don't want to care anymore and I don't want to harbor resentment. Help me to not put things on such a pedestal next time, especially when there is much and obvious room to be disappointed. Who did I think I was, getting the prom of my dreams?


AGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

*SIGH*

Whatever.

Prom: Not what I want it to be.

God, please help me to accept it. I will not be getting the dress of my dreams.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGH!

Remember those dresses that Ashley gave you in EIGTH GRADE that she got for free at her church? Yeah. Mom wants me to wear one of them. It's nice, but I do not want to wear. I'd like to have options. "We can't afford it." I bet we can. It's PROM! It's not like it's an event that was sprung upon us! We've known about it since forever. "If it was the same dress in a store, you would have bought it." No I wouldn't have! Agh WOMAN! I am so upset because I was so excited and I still don't know what I'm doing after prom and I'm about to say SCREW EVERYTHING and go home and sleep and wallow in misery since we "can't afford" an after prom event anyway.

I realize that I am not being understanding. Which is why I need your help Lord. I am so disappointed. So disappointed. And prom is next week Thursday and the my vision of what it was supposed to be will not be lived up to. I had a dream last night that I went to this pre-prom event (I think it was a prom that did NOT look like a prom. Looked more like an "Everybody-wear-overalls" event -_-) and it was LAME then I went to prom and went home but prom was not the memorable part of the evening. Prom was a blur. It was the pre-prom event that was most dominant in my mind. And if dreams tell the future, that dream is saying that prom is gonna SUCK. But I am aware that my mentality is going to determine how great of a time I will have. So God, help me tp change my mentality >.<

Okay, the bright side. The dressis pretty. I don't want to wear it because I had no options to choose from and it is not at all what I had in mind, but the dress is pretty. Ummm.... Even though I still do not know what I am doing after prom, the prom itself will be a good time and though I will be a loser for going home (that would be so lame!), I can look forward to the many late at night events I will participate in as a college student. Okay, no, that will not help. Um.... I can feel cool going home, coming out of the limo. Hmmm... no, 'cause people will be like "So early? That was dumb quick!" Ummm... I know! I can sleep and sleep in 'cause there is no school the next day. And thers'll have more money in my pocket (more like Dad's pocket -_-) that I will not have to spend on an event that I have to scurry people around to attend (I HATE doing that! >.<). And I don't have to worry about how I'm going to get home since the limo will have been long gone... Yep. I'm going home after prom -_-. Ugh.

Late night ultimate frisbee anyone? I'd be so done for that! >.<

Yeah God. So please just help me to lower my expectations and be understanding and not resentful and not sarcastic. That last one is a hard one, but You can do it! To the point wear I will not even hurt on the inside, so there will be no need for me to be sarcastic. Help me to embrace it like I embrace the fact I am not going to prom with a date (from the beginning I wanted to go single!). So yeah Lord, help me. So that I may have a memorable and yet prom experience. Amen.
