You must be an illusion.

So, Prom was simply amazing.

I spent most of Saturday morning filling out insurance forms and running errands. Blah, that's never any fun. I picked up Emily's corsage up in Daphne, burned a CD, and vacuumed my mum's car (because my car was too trashy to take to the dance after the accident).

Around four o'clock, I hopped in the shower and started getting ready. Mum and dad were ridiculous about pictures, blah, and I left the house at around 5:15.
Got to Chelsea's house right at 5:30 and met up with everyone else there. MORE PICTURES WOOOOOOO.
Also, Emily was simply gorgeous. I don't know what I did to deserve someone as amazing as she is.











After a shit-ton of pictures at Chelsea's house, we went to the Yacht Club so we could take MORE PICTURES before we ate dinner. I swear, I'm going to punch every camera I see for the next week. I'm SICK OF GETTING MY PICTURE TAKEN.
Anyway, after what seemed like forever, we went inside and were seated.






For some reason, the Yacht Club was overcrowded and understaffed, so the service was slow. But the company and conversation were delightful, and we had a blast. The food was also very good. And not too expensive, either! :D
Anyway, after we ate, Chelsea and Mason left so they could go to the Senior Callouts, while Maring, Thomas, Emily and I went for a nice walk. And then we went to Mr. Gene's Beans downtown.
So many people were complimenting the girls' dresses, it got annoying pretty quick. For me an Thomas, at least, I'm sure they loved the attention, haha.

Anyway, around 9:00, we went to the Civic Centre and DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY AWWWW YEAH.
I'm not going to go into too much detail about the dance itself, mostly out of laziness and somewhat due to my terrible memory.
I will share one anecdote, though:

Mason and I went up to the DJ and requested Bohemian Rhapsody. I mean, that's the best song ever, everyone loves it. Well, the DJ said no, because apparently it's not a "crowd pleaser" (which is bullshit) and that he had to play music that everyone would like. Mason and I grumbled and walked away.
So, the next song comes on and guess what? Everyone leaves the dance floor.
What was that about pleasing the crowd, Mr. DJ?


Anyway, we ended up leaving the dance a bit early, around 11:30. We all went back to Chelsea's house again, and we all cuddled up in their living room and watched That 70's Show. As weird as this sounds, cuddling with Emily and talking with everyone was probably my favourite part of the whole evening. <3
And then we all ate an amazing midnight breakfast (courtesy of Chelsea's parents) consisting of cheese grits, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, fruit, and probably even more stuff. It was delicious! And then everyone changed out of their fancy clothes and returned to the living room for an encore of earlier.
Around 1:00, people started leaving, and Emily and I were fairly quick to follow. I took her home and walked her to the door and all that jazz, and then started heading home. But then I realised I still had her camera and purse, so I had to go back and give those to her. :P
I got home at around 1:30 and went to bed a 2:00.


When I woke up today, I was still pretty smiley from the night before. :)
I went to church and caught up with Kathy and Bobby. After church, Kathy and I picked up some Pizza Rolls and went over to Macey's house to have a MIYAZAKI MOVIE MARATHON. We watched Ponyo and Howl's Moving Castle. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. :)

I went home around 5:30, packed, ate dinner, ran some last minute errands, and then ended up leaving about 7:30. I stopped by Emily's house for a bit, to see her before I went back to school, and then got some gas and some coffee for the long drive back to school.
And here I am. :)


There are plenty of things coming up, but that's for another blag post. I'm done for now. Goodnight.
