Prom Night!

Dances are something I have always loved about school. I've never been one of those shy kids at dances, I guess that's why I like it so much.
In school, unless I'm around my close friends, I'm terribly shy. It's horrible to know that I'm a senior and I still have these issues, but at least I've gotten better. Freshman year I would bury my head in a book and forget the rest of my peers. At least now I converse a little. But even now I'm still known as the quiet kid. (Unless, of course, I am around my close friends. Around them I'm insane) So dances are really the opportunity for me to let go. I love dancing...let me repeat....I LOVE DANCING. And I love when people notice me dancing, I'm a person who craves the spotlight way too much. (God, I'm really proving myself to be a hypocrite here, the shy kid who craves the spotlight) But when someone from school that thinks I'm a 'shy girl' asks me if I'm drunk --yes I do act that crazy--I just laugh. No, I'm not drunk I just love having a good time.
But prom was fun. I got all sentimental. I'm already a sentimental noobcake but this year I was so much worse. I'm a senior and it was my last dance ever. Plus, prom was at 'The Temple' downtown. 'The Temple' just happens to be where homecoming took place my freshman year. So my first high school dance was in this building, along with my last high school dance. I wonder if the people who planned the dance realized they made it this way.
Toward the end of the dance they played alot of songs that I am so glad they waited for. Dynamite, which I have loved since Halloween, and E.T. by Katy Perry. I swayed in the arms of all my friends and serenaded them, oh what a great way to nearly end my high school career. They then faded off to slow dances and country songs that are somehow always famous down here in the south. Blah! But then the last friggin slow song they played was I'll be. That just happens to be the first slow song I ever danced to at homecoming freshman year. The first slow song at my first high school dance and the last slow song at my last high school dance. The irony of the night nearly killed me! I sat down during that song, though. Freshman year I danced with someone special to that song and he's not here now. I promised him I'd sit a slow song out for him and it just happens to be the very first song we danced to.
After prom we ordered food at Taco Bell and went to Walmart to eat. I'm serious, just plopped down on the kid's shoe aisle and pulled out our fake mexican food. We weren't loitering, though, because we bought some candy before we left. I'm sure everyone there thought we were drunk there, I swear one cop was gonna try and use a breathalizer on us--he gave us creepy stares. But we would have come out clean.....we were just high on life. I love my friends and right now I love my life. This is rare.

This post turned out so much longer than I originally planned it to be and since I left my camera in Teila's car, I'll put pictures up later.  :)
