I said I would update this more, so here it goes. I'm going to talk about an amazing night: Junior Prom, April 15, 2004. I woke up at 9:15ish yesterday morning- Kerrie had slept over the night before, so we got up, picked up my basement, ate breakfast and took showers. We got to the salon at 11 for our appointments and got out hair done. Mom took pictures. I got my hair put all up, with a side part and lots of curls, and it looked awesome. I was so happy with it. We left the salon at around 1pm and went out to lunch with my mom. Then we stopped at CVS to pick up some last-minute stuff, and we ran into Ann Marie, her mom, and Lauren, who were on their way to get their hair done. Got more compliments on my tan :C) After CVS, we went to the florist to pick up my date's flower... hehe We got home around 2:30, and my mom did my make-up :C) My grandma came too, so that was good because she's awesome. Then Becca called around 3 and said she was on her way- got to my house about 10 minutes later. The limo got here like a half an hour early and was just chillin in my driveway. :D My auntie Laura and my little cousin Alyssa came too- a lot of people were there.. So we were all sitting around talking when we were like, "Uh-oh, it's 3:45- everyone is coming at 4..." so we went downstairs to get dressed and put on all our jewelry and such. (Ben called because he got lost getting here as we all knew he would, so we gave him directions. Somehow he ended up in Plainville..) My aunt came downstairs with the video camera and stuff, and my mom and Becca's mom were helping us. (Becca put her necklace on wrong.. silly Twigga.) So we (Me, Kerrie, and Becca) were finally all ready to go. We came upstairs, and Tim was in my front hall. He couldn't close his mouth :D hehehe, that was funny. Dave got here next, then Ben. We all took couple picture shots in my living room and then did a bunch of candids. Then we went out to my front yard and took more group pictures- our faces hurt from smiling so much. Allie and Matt came next. Matt's cane was awesome, seriously :-P 2 of my neighbors randomly came over.. So Erika and John came last (but not least! :-P) and we all took a few more pictures, then loaded into the limo (which was white and huge and awesome) and we were off. We got to Rhodes about 20 minutes later. On the limo ride over we all were goin crazy, making fun of John's hair, etc. hehehe. :D We were the *first* people through the receiving line. Rhodes was huge inside and really gorgeous. The decorations were good- me, Allie, and Becca were proud :D We all got our formal pictures taken then went to our table and more and more people were showing up. We took more pictures- we took our own picture of the Free Girls, and the professional photographer guy liked our setup so much, he took like 4 of us in that pose. Allie is gunna make sure it gets in the yearbook for next year. Yay! I also got a professional pic done with Allie, Erika, Becca, and Tabi. It's gunna be a great one. Everyone looked absolutely amazing. That's really all I can say. I felt so awesome, so... unlike me, but in a really good way. Everyone kept saying I looked like Cinderella... Kerrie called me Cindy all night :D I saw AM, Kerri, Lauren, and a bunch of other people first, and I hung out with them, Alex, Ed, Pat, the limo crew, Dan, Meg Ennes, Shanny, and a bunch of other people for most of the night. We had dinner which was decent. Our toast was definitely memorable (I luv you Erika!) I "went to the bathroom" with Kerrie afterwards- 'twas much-needed. When we came back, everyone was out on the dance floor going crazy, so of course we joined them. But my date was cool and didn't dance :-P (j/k, I don't really care, I had fun anyways) I couldn't find him for the first song, and Dan's date was MIA too, so I danced with Dan instead. Ahh it was so good to see him! He sang with me too.. hehe.. good times. I also danced with Ed, Dave, and Alex. I saw Kerri Lacasse there too, and I meant to say hi, and I totally forgot! :( I'll have to e-mail her or something, I miss her. It was an absolute blast, by far one of the best, if not *the best* dance at Feehan or anywhere I've ever gone to. Despite a few awkward conversations and first encounters, the night was amazing. The dance ended at 11. Everyone didn't want to leave, because it was such a good night and everyone was having so much fun. But we collected our souvenirs (the tiaras we had gotten in the receiving line and our picture frames, and the guys' t-shirts) and headed out to the limo. We got back to my house around 11:45, I think. Mom had some of the pictures up o nthe computer from earlier, so we checked those out. Then we all went down into my basement. Let's hear it for after-parties! We played oldies on the jukebox and danced around some more. Erika & I spun in circles to make our poofy dresses twirl out, it was so much fun. We gave Allie part of her birthday present (finally): 2 fish, and whale flip-flops. She put on the flip-flops and Matt's prom t-shirt and danced around with him- classic pictures, right there. John was being absolutely hilarious- dancing (*with* Erika) and playing pool at the same time, oh gosh. We fooled around with the video camera some more too. The girls chilled for a bit in the '50s booth and ate :D while the guys played pool in teams. It was awesome. Matt, Allie, Tim, Kerrie, Ben & John all left between 12:15 and 12:30. Dave stayed til 1 and played pool with me, and we sucked because we were so out of it. Erika and Becca changed out of their dresses and into PJs, and I went upstairs to walk Dave out at 1am. Then I changed too, and we grabbed blankets and pillows and everything and got comfy in the TV area of my basement and ready for our sleepover! (Allie had to go home :( and Kerrie wasn't feeling well so she left too) We talked for a while with my mom, and Allie called us but we couldn't talk cuz my mom was with us. We meant to call her back but then we realized that I had the first 2 seasons of Dawson's Creek on DVD just sitting there aching to be watched :) We watched Season 1, the Detention/Breakfast Club episode, which is definitely a classic, and then we started the episode after that one but fell asleep in the middle of it. Erika turned off the TV around 3:30/3:45am, and we slept until about 10am this morning. We woke up and watched MORE DC- gotta love TBS. Then we went upstairs and were blinded by the sunlight.. ate some quality bagels while watching Ellen. We went back downstairs, cleaned up, and the girls packed up their stuff. We watched more DC, cuz it's addictive like that :D. We refused to get dressed. Becca's mom came a little after 12, and we were all talking upstairs (got our guy-bashing sessions in), and mom showed her the pictures. Then Erika's mo mcame about 10 minuts later. They all left around 12:45. I finished picking up the basement, which didn't take long because it was basically done. I helped mom put the pictures on CDs with music in the background and stuff so we can give them out to the girls :) Now, I have nothing to do for the rest of the day. It's 2:46 in the afternoon, I'm in my PJs, my whole house is clean (which means no chores today), and I am SO content with life right now. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be a smoothie. Well, a "smoothie", really. But it's hard to just get a smoothie without knowing which smoothie you'd rather have. I'm very indecisive, you know. None of that smoothie nonsense makes any, well, sense. But that's ok. I understand it, and that's all that matters. So here's to everyone who made last night and this morning a time to be remembered. I love all of you guys so much, and I don't know what I'd do without you all. You all make everything worth it, so thanks. I really did have the Time Of My Life April 15, 2004 ¤ Bishop Feehan Junior Prom Never Forget
