PROM!

So yesterday/last night/ this morning was just about the BEST THING EVER!!! All those people who claim prom is overrated are either lame, have no friends, or didnt go to Dover prom ;)
Seriously, i had such an amazing time. It started Saturday at 1:30 with my first appointment. Because I had no real plan of what I wanted to do with my hair, I was worried that it wouldnt turn out. Or else that she would do something ugly and my prom would be ruined! ( as you can probably tell, i overreact often) So the hairdresser put it all up in curlers and sent me off to makeup. It was really neat, being made up professionally, because the lady who does it looked at my face in the exact scrutinizing way I would look at a half finished painting. It was interesting to think of makeup as art. When that was done, i went back to hair for about an hour that was spent being fussed over with 8 million bobby pins and a flurry of activity. Oh, and of course, my tiara...*blush blush*
When it was all finished she spun me around in the chair and I looked at myself in the mirror and I was like... wow. I mean.. wow. I didnt know I could look so good. My hair was done up in all these shiny loops and pinned into place, with my sparkly tiara, and my makeup looked GREAT! I was so ecstatic. By now it was about 3:30, so I went home and put on my lovely lovely dress, and my fabulous white shoes, and my earrings, and Mels periwinkle necklace.. and oh.. the whole package was just so wonderful.
Me and my mom got to Lauras wine and cheese at about 4, and everyone was just about to take a bunch of pictures. Laura, Alleah, and Mel were standing on the front lawn looking gorgeous, and I ran up with them surrounded by a flood of compliments. It was slightly odd, standing there being photographed with a large crowd of onlookers. Kind of neat though. Then the guys ( Geoff, Gareth, Tim, and Sean) got into some pictures with us. The wine and cheese was fairly short for me, as we got there late, but mostly we sat around admiring each other for an hour.

at 5 we drove down to PROM!!!! The beginning was kind of lame, because it was just everyone arriving, and milling about, and there was a lot of confusion as to where people were and stuff. I sat at the "UN table" with Geoff, Mel, gareth, Laura, Tim, Rosie, and Brad, next to the table with Marcus, Leah, Rob, Courtney, Geoff M, Victor, David, and Brendan.
Dinner was fun too, but we were all really psyched for the dance...
Which was, indescribable.. I mean, it was absolutely magnificent, phenomenal, and all things great and wonderful! The room was filled with beautiful people in beautiful outfits in our pseudo New York... We all danced and danced and danced, even to the bad songs, and I think I only sat out maybe, three songs. The evening went by in a blur of sweat and strobelights, and sometimes the world appeared to move in slow motion. There were so many song flashbacks.. like Backstreet Boys, and the Spice Girls, and Ace of Base... I danced with anybody and everybody, fast and slow, good and bad... it was so fun!! It was weird though, I barely hung out with the people I thought I would see most, like Mel, Geoff, gareth, and the rest of the theatre crowd.. My shoes were killing me by the end but I simply didnt care because the whole event was simply too fabulous!!!

at 11:45 me, Laura, and Tim went outside to meet my mom, which was like leaving a dream world of chaos. I swear to God, I could have danced in that dark and sparkle all night and then some. But oh well. I was still excited for the rest of the night! We went back to my place to change ( me into my stunning afterparty outfit, which my mom said made me look like a movie star) and we met up with Geoff, Mel, and Gareth to go to Barbaras party. I wasnt really in the mood for her party.. i guess because all I wanted to do was keep talking to the people I had spent the evening with.. but hardly any of them were at Barbaras. And it was kind of lame.. because I was so pumped from the dance and ready to keep being high energy, but everyone there was slumped on the floor being tired..and watching Alleah and Sean get smashed. It WAS nice to see Barbara and Llowyn, although I dont think Llowyn had a particularly good time at Barsby prom.

So we left at 1:30, a half hour early, to go off to Kates party. There were about 15 people there, the crowd i hung out with at prom, plus Ryan, Jen, and some other people I dont know. We looked at some pictures from Stephens digital camera, and listened to some tunes, and made fun of Brendan, general good times! Then we all trooped down to the beach at about 2:30 in the morning because we were all still boisterous and had unbounding energy to spare!! The beach was fun! it was dark and we couldnt see much, but it was really nice sitting on driftwood and singing songs and having a ball! wlaking back up the many flights of stairs was not as fun, especially not with Stephen's camera and its blinding flash! :P we hung out some more at Kates place, singing, dancing, playing with pictures, being weird.. etc until about 5, when we went on the 45 minute walk to Tims house ( I skipped most of the way, as it was more fun) for breakfast, which a bunch of mums were making for us. This was all fine and good but by the time it was ready most of us were either splayed on the floor half asleep, or dozing on the couches. Most people left around 8, and i couldnt help an overwhelming feeling of sadness when they left, because it was such an amazing night and then all of a sudden it was over... Anyway, i got home at 8:30, and it took me another half hour to take out all the bobby pins stuck in my medusa like hair, and then i just crashed until 5 PM.

Oh what a Night!

I also took a bunch of pics, and when I get them developed I'll try and scan them and put some on here.
