~JUNIOR PROM~ (warning: looooong entry)

junior prom was....sort of disappointing. why? cuz the dj SUCKED ASS. when people used to come back from dances and say that the dj sucked, i never beleived them cuz how can a dj suck? all they do is play songs. but NOW i know. the junior prom dj was soooooo horrible. collectively, i think he played about two hours of non-modern music. mainly 80s music. i have nothing against 80s music. i like it. but holy shit, he played it CONTINUOUSLY. it would've been ok if he played once in awhile but it got to the point where people didn't feel like dancing anymore cuz we were SICK of the RETARDED music. and the modern music that he DID play all sounded the same. they were all these rappers just shouting into the mike and not making sense. soooo much of the rap songs ALL sounded EXACTLY the same. i swear to goodness i wanted to kick the dj. AND in the beginning he played a slow song every third song. i was like wth!?!?! when he started to play like the fourth slow song people started booing him so he changed it. hahaha. that was funny.

so now that i've gotten that out of the way, here's a rundown of the night:

i convinced my parents to let me out of the house at six "so i could get ready at paula's house." so i ate some barbecue then ryan picked me up and headed over to paula's house to pick up her and joseph. wow, he looks very different but it was hecka cool to see him again. then us four headed to dinner at papillons. on the way, unfortunately, ryan found out that joseph watches family guy also. oh well, i knew family guy was gonna be brought up sooner or later so why not sooner. haha.

dinner was the BEST part of the night. all of us got along REALLY well despite how i hadn't seen joseph for seven years, joseph and ryan had just met, and ryan and paula didn't know each other really well. but it all turned out great. we started quizzing ryan on mcdonald menu prices. he nailed everything. pretty damn good. haha. me and joseph talked about "the good ol' days." haha. all the people we knew, who we still kept in touch with, and stuff like that. it was awesome. i loved Lea's Chrisitian School so much and it was cool to be able to see someone from way back then. haha, i just thought of something now: i wonder if joseph knew i used to like him back then. well, he knew then....i wonder if he remembers that. haha. elementary crushes are cute.

so after dinner we headed to prom. deto had waaay too much fun driving his parents' BMW. haha. joseph was in LOVE with the desert table. there was a chocolate fountain where you could dip in strawberries, carmel, and just about anything they had out. he kept on going back for more strawberries. can't blame him; chocolate covered starwberries are YUM!

i didn't mind that we were in the gym cuz the decorations were amazingly awesome. it was just the dj and dancing part that kinda sucked. and since what you mainly do at junior prom is dance, hence the disappointing part.

*(decoration descriptions taken from paula's xanga) they tied white drapes from the middle of the ceiling to the wall barriers that shaped the dance floor into a square with the DJ in the middle. Towards the far side of the gym they set up lights to reflect the colors pink, orange, yellow, and red off of the wall. Tables were set up inside the gym and also in the area by the soda machines (covered in tissue!! hahaha)*

there were some really memorable parts of the dance though:

~EVERYONE in the gym doing the electric slide to shania twain, "man i feel like a woman." i came into the gym in the middle of that song and i saw rows and rows and rows of juniors line dancing. hahahaha. there were soooooo many people dancing that me and chris (dring) didn't know how to get in. so me and chris are like walking around the entire block of people on the dance floor trying to find the right time to get into a row. finally reed saves us and pulls us into his row. fun stuff =D

~ Everyone singing to the song "get low". it was the uncensored version and people (especially geoff and deto) were heck of yelling out the cuss words. that was hilarious.

~ Geoff and Deto getting me in a freak sandwich. i dont know if that's really a happy-memorable thing. i think it's more of a scarred-for-life-memorable type thing. haha.

~ Seeing Nikki again! i missed that woman! i hate it when friends move away.

~ Hanging out with all my friends: elissa, amina, j.j. , yuri, geoff, deto, paula, joseph, slava, erica, mili, michelle, mayur, chris, megan, reed, carl, and everyone else i might've forgotten.

i remember at one point in the dance, one of geoff's friend said something about not being able to dance to this type of music and geoff said, "sure you can dance to this music. that's not a problem. you know what my problem is? i was born white. so if a white boy can dance to this, so can you." hahahaha. ah, geoff cracks me up.

so i guess junior prom was cool. it wasn't super fun cuz of the fact i wanted to kick the DJ. haha. it was great seeing all my friends all dressed up and spiffy looking, trying to dance to the lame music, talking, and attacking the dessert bar. hahaha. yay for me though, my sore throat and runny nose didn't bother me that much. woot! well, now it's time to catch up on all my hw. later days!
