Every one is talking about prom now that spring break is over. It's driving me nuts!
I saw a trailer for a Disney movie titled "Prom". At first I thought "What else can Disney come up with next? I mean they've done a movie on everything just about now." Then I thought "Really? A movie about a bunch of teenagers dreaming about a school dance that won't matter in 10 years? Please..."
But don't get me wrong, prom is fun. I went last year with a guy that a friend of mine hooked me up with. He asked me 4 days before prom so I was in a mad rush to get everything planned. Together, we planned everything within 24 hours through text messaging. I don't think anyone else can pull that off. The next day I called another friend to borrow a dress. The next day I bought my ticket at the affordable price of $40 and ordered a flower thingy for my date for $17. I did my own hair and i wore sandals instead of heels (the dress was long enough so you couldn't see them). We ate at a seafood restraunt where my date's steak wasn't cook the right way so they took it back 3 times, but they gave us free dessert for the inconvience. The couple that was suppose to meet us there was an hour late so we were by ourselves fo a long time, and the guy wasn't exactly the social type but we enjoyed each other's company. We arrived at the ballroom fashionably late, as most people did, and looked upon the others dancing and the chaperones standing against the wall dreading every moment. Today's generation likes to grind on each other instead of facing each other to dance. Me and my date wern't those kind of people so we just chilled, talked to each other, talked to other people, ate some of the chocolate fondue, and watched the crowning of the king and queen. What made me laugh was that some parents were there, trying to live out their dreams through their children. Haha. We did finally slow dance, then he took me home.
So, if you are going to prom, I hope you have fun. Just don't plan last minute and go to the same restraunt I did.
