• Senior Prom!!!! :) (This includes pictures)

  So, yesterday was prom.

  I left school at about 1:40 (I talked to someone till like 1:50), got my nails done and went home.

  I got ready; meaning that I attempted to put on make up from the small collection that I have

  My friend date Beau, (yes, completely platonic date yada yada) was kind of late picking me up, so I freaked out a bit…Anyway, then we went to my friend (err, kinda friend) Shannon’s house where everyone was meeting before the bus picked them up.

  We took lots of pictures, which is to be expected (I have like 60 pictures combined in my prom album between mine and my Mom’s pictures). Beau’s parents took a bajillion photos as well. He wasn’t lying when he said they were big photo people though. They seemed nice enough though.

  Anyway, since Beau’s parents were kind of late the bus came and we didn’t have much other time to spare since the bus came and we had to get going. We weren’t taking the bus, but they open the doors to prom at 7 and close them at 8, so it doesn’t pay to fuzt and whatnot.

  The actual prom was fairly uneventful, to say the least.

  Since we got there just a little after 7 they had not yet opened the ballroom. We were supposed to veg, hang out, and mingle for an hour. It was kind of exciting because I got to meet my friend Ed’s girlfriend. She lives in another state, so she’s basically been like “the mysterious person” we’ve heard a lot about and whatnot.

  So, literally for most of prom….I sat waiting for my food (I had to special order as a vegan) for an hour and a half or so. Then, here’s the kicker, I FINALLY get it. Guess what it is? A chunk of salmon (yes, SALMON) and a pitiful pile of veggies. I honestly am in humor at this situation. I pick at the veggies, try to call one of the hotel staff over, he brushes me off. Needless to say that sets the stage for later in the night.

  I also played spit (though i think that it was a screwy version…eh whatever), and had more people been interested I would have tried to play president (obviously not with drinking…though I only know how to play it with cards anyway).

  Then, after eating literally two carrots, I danced a little.

  Prom was basically over after that.

  I had fun, even though it was kind of odd.

  A lot of my friends wanted to go to McDonalds after prom, but since I really had not eaten I wanted to go somewhere I could actually eat at. Instead, I went with my date to a local diner, got awesome vegan pizza. I really enjoy talking and spending time with that kid, so it was fun.

  Just as a random related sidenote…I feel like I have come a long way. I have a pretty decent sized group of guy friends and I am not pursuing/thinking about pursuing romantic relationships with any of them. I had a problem with that more recently, and I’m just glad I’ve been blessed with getting beyond that…So yeah, yay for guy friends.

  Anyway, here are a couple pictures.
