FUN

THAT is what I had at prom. Lots of fun. I've got to admit the banquet hall wasn't exactly spacious, but it served it's purpose. It had a decent dance floor with strobe lights and a disco ball, and enough room for over 80 adolescents.
To summarize my day up til then, it was school, leave early, get my hair and nails done by a woman who's constantly scolding me for chewing on my nails (I can't help it!) and then get dressed and do my makeup. My mom drives me to the hall, and takes numerous pictures of me and my date (who was looking very nice in all black and a red tie) before finally leaving. Once inside, I was disappointed by the music, wishing I had brought my ipod to hook up to the laptop when no one was looking. To the tune of some cheesy song, we took some more pictures while people arrived. And then some amazing music started churning out of the speakers, to my extreme relief. I started bouncing in place while my friends arrived, an as soon as enough of them were there we hit the dance floor, partying hard. We were briefly interrupted by dinner and a slideshow of this years pictures and then we were immediately dancing again after the water works ended. Let me tell you, some of my most innocent-looking friends can get down and dirty. Everyone danced and danced til sweat covered they're skin and the dance floor was slippery with a mixture of sweat and soda. I actually slipped and fell down a couple down a few times getting low, which was hilarious. It was the perfect environment, all the bodies pressing close, the heat just below suffocating, the lights flashing to the music. It made you not care, and more free about dancing in slightly inappropriate ways (which was friggin awesome!). I'm always going to remember prom and I'm gonna miss you guys!
