All the Little Things.: Prom 2013

Hair,nails,make-up,dress,shoes...what girl doesn't dream about her first prom? The decorations,venue,music-everything must be perfect! Of course, prom is blown way out of proportion. You pay $300 dollars for a dress that you only wear for two hours and then you're literally an inch away from everyone on the dance floor. So technically, it's not "dancing," it's just a huge grind fest. While prom might have been a "breeze" for most people-it was definitely not the easiest event for me.
I had the great idea to join prom committee at the beginning of the year-the junior class always plans prom. We didn't even start planning till February,but whatever. We decided on decorations,venue,food, you name it. It was stressful considering our "sponsor" ( I add quotations because she was no such help whatsoever) didn't do anything for us. A lot of choice words were yelled during this time and I can say that I do not miss it at all. As for the dress and such, I had it picked out last September... which helped a lot because I'm normally overwhelmed by such things. I didn't even try any on in the store...The down side was I had to order my dress from China which took awhile to arrive and that made me very nervous. It came in two weeks before prom, and it fit like a charm. I'm fortunate enough to have a wonderful cousin who happens to be ditzy like myself, who can do hair and makeup quite exquisitely. That saved me quite a couple of Benjamin Franklins. I also had a wonderful date who was perfect in every way. He's a grade below me and I offered to take him as friends. He's also photogenic as well. I went with a great group of friends who I would not trade for the world. Although the limo company forgot we ordered a party bus and got us a limo instead, although I didn't wear my shoes in the restaurant, and although we were late for prom itself, we did make it, we did drop it like it was hot, and we did pull an all nighter because track state was the next day and I was crazy enough to say I would take pictures. All in all, I wouldn't trade a thing, and I look forward to my senior prom...partially because I don't have to plan it , or pay dues. Holler at your boy.

Enjoy some Pitchas.( "I spelt that wrong on purpose" said the grammar nazi).
