The REAL PROM
So today is the sunday after THE REAL PROM. And I'm sitting here wide awake because I didn't go out last night due to my exhaustion, first from lack of sleep and second because I had to work the day after prom, on saturday.
So was it all that I expected it to be? Did my drems come true? And was it as magical as I had envisioned?
Before, like I said in my previous entry. What I've learned is not to have expectations. So as the day slowly crept closer I psyched up myself up for just another night. And it was fine. It wasn't that romantic comedy sort of feel. But I'm just in high school and there are a lot of other times to feel like I'm in a movie. And just because my night wasn't picturesque or worth making it into a movie, it was still nice. And I enjoyed myself.
I got my nails done for the first time ever. I had my dress. And I had my shoes. So I was ready and all set. Scott came and picked up, not in a limo, but in his best-friend's electric blue PT Cruiser. I was still upstairs getting ready because he said he'd pick me up at 6:00 and he came by 5:45. That's never happened before: him arriving before I was ready, but then again he wasn't driving. We took pictures and he put on my corsage and my Mrs. Kelly put on his boutanniere. Then we went to pre-prom and was presented to the family and friends waiting in the theater. And for a moment I was in the spotlight as I stepped outside of those red curtains and all the eyes and camera lights were on me. And for those brief five seconds as I stepped onto that X I was a princess. And it was true and happy. I walked off the stage and we took formal pictures before we headed off to prom at the Doubletree Hotel. When we got there, Scott had to shake the hands of the Rockhurst Administration and then presented me to them as his date. We entered the prom and we had buffet. Typical, since this is an all guys school. But, it was good nonetheless. Scott and I had a spat about the after plans, so for 30 minutes we practically made a scene, but nothing too ostentatious. Then we made up and we danced the night away. Then we went back to the hotel that Scott got for the night. And we spent time with his best friend and his girlfriend. And it turned out to be an early night because I was passed out from intoxication. We woke up and had breakfast in the lobby. And then the boys took me hope. I kissed Scott goodbye and went upstairs to take a nap before Work. And that's it. There was my night.
I just wanted to taket he time to tell youi about my REAL PROM experience. I know it wasn't something much to tell. But I felt it was crucial to explain but it is a part of who I am. And even though it wasn't romantic comedy worthy, it was still my prom.
And I love Scott.
