The Prom Post

No use trying to disguise the true nature of this post. Prom was great. I went with no expectations so they were all fulfilled.

The day started when I went to the grocery store with my mom. Then I phoned Can and we went to the driving range for an hour or so. I came back home and played some Fantasie-Impromptu and just random messing around on the chord progression from Chopin's posthumously published Nocturne Op. 72 No. 1. I proceeded to get dressed and headed off to the second before prom party at Taylor Culpepper's house. The first was at Steven Godfrey's, but I neglected to go.

I met up with my date, Shondra White, gave her a corsage and got my boutonniere. Many pictures were taken. The weather stayed overcast, and though a few drops fell, there was very little rain. We then got on the prom bus and went down to Swy-a-lana for more pictures. Getting out at the Coast Bastion was fun.

I escorted my date to our table and we went to go get various pictures of our friends. Soon, the event began. The food was above average, but not exceptional. The desserts were awesome, my favourite being the handpicked (chosen rather) strawberries. Only the biggest, juiciest ones were there. Then a DJ from Z95.3 started the dance.

The dance was 21 x better than I thought it would be. The DJ faded all of the songs into one another and kept the music going constantly except for when they had the draws. Tons of people danced and they played all of the "mandatories". Of course, in 2005, this means "In Da Club", "Crazy In Love", "Tipsy" and still "YMCA". After some hanging out with Chris, I started dancing a little bit more (a rare sight indeed).

After prom we took the prom bus to Shondra's house to get changed. The 40 or so people on the bus ended up just hanging out there for the duration of the night (12-6am). With the exception of Jesse and Ryan laughing obscenely loud outside, it was a relatively under control party. Maybe 95% of the people at the party had a good time. I think 85% of the people had a good time at prom. These are just my estimates of prom stats.

We went to Tim Horton's at 3am and at 6am we headed over to Emma's house for breakfast. From there, I came home and slept until 2:30pm.

I have not posted in one week, but nothing of any consequence happened prior to prom. Not that I can remember at least. Actually, n/m that. I went to Vancouver on Wednesday evening. My cousin works for Nortel and got a job promotion. He is moving away to Texas so we held a going away dinner for him at my Aunt's house.

Well its pro-D tomorrow, so in I can sleep.
