Prom

Prom was.... meh...

I met Amanda at her grandmother's house so I could meet her mother and get pictures taken. Her uncle, brother and his girlfriend were also there. Right before I got in the car to leave, her brother shouted at Amanda, "Don't forget you're engaged and are getting married!" She says he's protective of her.

When we got there, most everyone was outside waiting to get in. My mom was there to take pictures for the yearbook so Amanda got to meet her. Everyone was waiting in line for Grand March. For Grand March, each couple had to write their names on a piece of paper for the announcer to introduce them to the crowd of parents waiting outside. We had to walk out onto a porch and to the top of some steps. There we had to stop and get our picture taken by the professional photographer and Mom at the bottom of the steps. Then we walked down the steps and waited for the Prom Court to be announced and then find out who won king and queen.

I used to like the girl who won queen :p After Grand March we could go back inside and have dinner.


There was a choice of stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn; or lasagna, stuffed shells, and shrimp alfredo, and green beans. I got the latter.



There was also pudding, cherry cheesecake, or lemon meringue pie for dessert; I got the cheesecake.



The dancing started after dinner. Amanda and I danced the first slow dance. There was a guy and his girlfriend (the prom queen) dancing near us. He saw me and came over to us and said, "Can I cut in?" I thought he was going to dance with Amanda but he took me instead O_O

He was an old friend of mine and just wanted to say hi in a goofy way :p He smelled nice and I told him so too :p

It got hot pretty quickly inside so luckily we could go outside onto the porch and the surrounding area beside a lake. We stayed outside almost the entire night socializing with other people rather than dancing. I'm not a dancer anyway. A big bug kept attacking the girls which was a highlight of the evening lmao






Prom was over at 10, but we left at 9:45 to avoid the traffic jam that was going to occur in the parking lot. Amanda didn't know of any good parties to go to so I just took her home, and then went home myself.

So the bottom line: Prom wasn't really worth the $128 for a tux, $30 for the corsage, and $20 for the ticket

We have a winner...

Continued from last post


This is what I'm wearing. Amanda says it "looks cute" and I like it better too.

Bow tie or regular?

Amanda says regular tie. I've also asked people on Twitter and 5 have answered so far. Right now it's a tie (no pun intended) between bow and regular.

So here's the standing so far: 3-3

Just an update

So... Nothing really special to blog about so I'll just write about some small things:

I've been getting into politics a lot recently. This week I've watched C-SPAN and C-SPAN2 more than I ever have in my entire life. Of course, I was following the Healthcare Bills as they went through the House of Representatives and the Senate up until now. I had to explain to Dad and some bloggers how the bills went through the House and Senate. Dad said I should get a law degree and become a politician.

I don't think so...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In prom news, Amanda got her dress. It's basically black and white. So I guess I have to go get a tuxedo now. Amanda said her friends who are part of the prom committee said the school may cancel the dinner so they can save money. I hope they don't. The dinner part will be the most enjoyable part of the whole evening.

I don't dance; especially fast dancing. I will slow dance, but I'm not good at it. I hope Amanda doesn't expect me to dance very much lol. I'll probably just sit on my ass most of the night.

Amanda asked if we're going to any after-parties. I guess it depends on how late Dad will let me stay out since I'll have his car. The only thing I know about after-parties is there is usually drinking. I don't drink and Amanda says she doesn't either, so I'm not really sure what the point is. She said she doesn't want to go home right after the dance though.

By the way, prom isn't until May 1st.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow I have to go to the community college to take a placement test. It starts at 10:30 and they say it usually takes people an hour and a half to two hours to complete it, so hopefully I'll be back before 2 p.m.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Sunday Alex and I were supposed to hide Easter eggs at the church for the kids to hunt later that evening. I sent Alex a text message the day before to remind him that we were supposed to do it right after church.

Before church started we were talking about it and counting how many eggs we had. After church I went to get the eggs out. By the time I got them out and into the sanctuary, Alex had left. I had to hide 69 eggs by myself. Later he said he thought we were going to do it before the dinner.

Ugh... You can't really count on him...

Last Wednesday, I got to drive Alex and his sister to school. They were waiting at the bus stop when I left, so I just asked them if they wanted to ride. Amanda never asked if I was going to pick her up. She didn't show up for school, so I sent her a message and she blamed me lol.

Oh well :)


Hmm... Not sure what to talk about now...

"Peter Peter Peter Peter"

Today was "Cyber Wednesday" again; the day I have to go to the school for the required 2 hours. The last couple weeks I've been picking up Amanda before and dropping her off after school (at her request). Her house is 10-15 minutes out of my way...

Riding in a car with her is actually fun :) If I didn't mention it before, she is hyper all the time so that makes for some interesting car rides :p

Last week, somehow the topic of "doing it" in the backseat came up. She asked me if I have ever done it in the backseat, which of course I haven't. So I said no and she asked if I have ever done it at all O_O I said no again... She goes, "Aww that's so cute."

Um... Ok...

Today I had to take her to her grandmother's house after school. As we pulled into the long driveway, I saw her grandmother coming out the door of the house. Amanda says, "She probably wants to meet you." When Amanda got out of the car, sure enough, her Gma said, "I just had to come out and meet the person Amanda is always talking about. It's always 'Peter Peter Peter Peter.'..."

I was a bit surprised that Amanda talks about me so much. Especially since she's engaged >_>

OH! I just remembered:

There is another girl in our cyber class who I'm friends with. Amanda said I should go to prom with her because I always sit beside and talk to her (even though I sit in between them), and she also says that it's obvious I like her. Well her assumption is wrong SINCE I'M GAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prom - Part II

I don't remember if I mentioned it in the last Prom post or not, but Amanda and I exchanged cell phone numbers last week. I don't think I mentioned that, but it's important info for this post :p

School was closed Friday because of bad weather so Amanda sent me a text sarcastically asking if we got the day off too. Unfortunately, us cyber schooled kids don't get snow days. My battery was dead so I didn't get her message until this morning lol.

Here is our text message conversation from today:

Me: Woops, I just now got your txt from Friday. My battery has been dead. Sorry!

Amanda: Lol it's ok. You hate me remember? :D

(That's been an ongoing joke during our Wednesday classes.)

Me: Oh yeah... I forgot :p

Amanda: Lol that's ok. Apparently I'm starting to grow on you! Haha

Me: Haha. Speaking of which, are you still going to prom by yourself? Or has Sam changed his mind? That is his name right? lol

(Sam is her fiance)

It took her 3 hours to respond O_O

Her: Lol yes I am still going by myself. And yes that's his name haha. (Sorry MY battery died this time) lol

Me: Hey! That's my excuse! :p Anyway I'd like to go to prom but not really by myself. Do you want to go together then (remember in the last post she said she would)? As friends obviously :p

Her: Of course I do! :) But I better get a corsage... lol jkjk

Me: Haha ok, it's a date then :p

Her: Awesome! What color dress should I get? lol unless you're not gonna match? Doesn't matter to me ;D

Me: Um... um... hmm... ummmmm... yeah I have no idea lol. It would look better if we matched.

Her: lol I was wanting to. It's more or less I get my dress, give you a swatch (a what?!), and then when you go get your tux you show them and they'll match the vest to my dress. haha

Me: What the heck is a swatch? Can you tell I'm new at this? lol

Her: A swatch is a piece of fabric. lol the fabric of my dress.

Me: Oh lol. Omg I'm so dumb lol. Well that sounds easy enough then.

Her: Lol you're not dumb. You've just never done prom before :) Do you want a boutonniere? haha

Me: See! I don't even know what that is! Oh wait... yes I do (after googling). Of course I want one :p I'm assuming you want a corsage right?

Her: Of course :) lol


That's all for now. I don't know what to do next lol. I suppose I should tell my parents :p Mom will know what to do next.

Prom - Part I

Today is Wednesday which means I had to go to the school from 8-10.

There is this girl there who I've become friends with. Her name is Amanda. She is always really hyper lol. Being around her always puts me in a good mood, even that early in the morning. Before you ask, she has a boyfriend and they are engaged (she's only 17 :\).

Anyway, so we were sitting beside each other today and got talking (which is easy to do with her :p). Bouncing from subject to subject we ended up talking about dances and prom. That reminded me of something my mom told me a few months ago. I was telling her about the people who were doing cyber school with me. She randomly asked if I was going to ask Amanda to prom O_O

I told Amanda that story today. She said that she is probably going to go by herself because her fiance doesn't want to go. Then she asked if I've ever been to prom before, which I haven't. She said, "Well, I'd go with you if you want.... just saying..."

I was like :O

She said, "Well we're friends, right? Friends can go to prom together."

I didn't give her a definitive answer, but I think I want to. It's not until May so we have awhile yet. Prom is just one of those High School experiences that you aren't supposed to miss. I think it'd be fun... even if it is with a girl :p

So... yeah... we'll see.
