Prom 2009 -- Success

I think Prom turned out better than I expected. With all of the drama that happened before-hand, I was expecting more to go wrong the day of. Pretty much everything went smoothly, and I had a really great time.

My hair appointment with Jordan and Jenny went well. My hair didn't turn out how I expected it, but what style does? It still looked great, and there is no debating that I looked like a princess. :) A few girls in our group came over to get ready together. There was no fighting, no anger, anything. Everyone had a good time, and we all looked amazing. We took a few pictures there together before we went to Amanda's with the whole group. Our dates picked us up at my house, and then we went to Kennedy to get in the limo. The limo was on time and everything went well, so we then went to Amanda's house to take pictures. Everyone looked great, and pictures were okay. It was hard to coordinate the big group to do everything at the same time, and it was super windy. The only bad thing, my hair started to act up. Luckily I had a bobby-pin on hand!

After Amanda's we went to Grand March, which was okay. Our gym floor is being redone, so we had to have our Grand March in the auditorium and Black Box this year. Even though it was different, it still was all good. We had an amazing dinner at Elmcrest!! After we all ate, everything was cleared out and the dance began. It was a little crowded like always, but it was still so fun! I had the most fun at this dance than any other dance I've been to, (which is expected). After the dance, Shea and I went back to my dad's house where I showered quickly before post prom. On the way from my house to post prom, we saw a guy from our school get pulled over by the cops. We thought it was something small like a seatbelt violation, but it turns out that he failed the sobriety test, and ended up in jail. Now that's a big prom no-no. I later found out that he isn't passing his required Economics class, and he isn't graduating. Man that sucks!!! Plus he's not the type of guy you would expect to be held back.

Post prom was amazing. It was fun to spend time with all of my friends, just hanging out and having a good time. They had plenty of amazing food and drinks, and they decorated the bowling alley to fit our theme. For the last hour of post prom they had a hypnotist. Man that was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. 4 of my close friends went up: Jenny, Haley, Jordan, and Olivia. Olivia was kind of quiet, but the other 3 were hilarious. Jenny ended up saying stupid things like, "You need to shave your butt," to the hypnotist, and "I just saw Coach White naked."
The Coach White thing was the line of the night. Just because I don't know who all reads my posts, I'm not going to say much about Coach White other than most of the senior girls think he's good looking for an older guy. Even that is a little risky, but hey I can't disagree. Of course he was at post prom, and Jenny has him for first hour Econ. That's gonna be awkward.

Overall it was a really great night. Everyone at my school looked great, and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. [<3]

Comedy on the Golf Course

Here are some of the things the golf team and I laugh about constantly. We do awful imitations, reenactments, and role-playing. Enjoy.

Mad TV - Can I Have Yo Numba





Mad TV - Bon Qui Qui at King Burger





Mad TV comes up with some funny stuff. I know these videos are old, but man we can't get enough of them. [<3]

PROMA!!!!!

We've got some major prom drama going on now. Everyone is switching groups, and people are joining our group without our permission. There is now a total of 22 people in our prom group, and 20 of those are going in our limo. Another group of about 6-8 couples wanted to join our group last minute, because they didn't make any plans and they said our plans sound good. They also said they don't have a group. 14 or 16 people sure sounds like a pretty large group to me!! Just because they didn't plan ahead and make their plans a month before doesn't mean they should just get to jump into our group..

Also one girl in our group wants to leave our group to join the others. She feels bad because they don't have plans, and started making plans with them without telling any of us. She wanted to take pictures with the other group, go to Grand March with the other group, and hang out with the other group after post prom, but still go in our limo. Yeah, she had already made plans to go in the limo with us, and had already paid her share for it, but I think that's a little uncalled for.

Well, turns out everything ended up okay. I guess she's coming in our group, and the random 16 others are making their own group and have their own plans. Hopefully this is the end of the Proma going on this year...!! I'm so excited! [<3]

Talent Show 2009


For the first year of the four years I have been here at Kennedy High School, I don't think I have been to a talent show once. Wait, now that I think about it, I may have gone to one my freshman or sophomore year. Anyways, they don't really interest me. But now this year I'm a senior, and I'll know most if not all of the people competing. One group, The Single Ladies, consists of my friends. Kate is playing Beyonce, and Andriana and Jenny are the two backup dancers. Jordan and I are the coaches and choreographers. We've been practicing every chance we get, which is hard because we all work and have such busy schedules. I wasn't too worried about being the coach, because I didn't have to get up on stage and actually perform the dance. But it is work. I actually do have to coach them. I have to video tape each time they dance, and go back through it with them and tell them what isn't right. When we aren't taping, I have to count out the steps for the difficult part, and reassure them that they look good. So I basically have to know the whole dance too.

So yeah yeah it's not that much work, I should stop complaining. We are learning the dance in parts, and then slowly putting it all together. The last practice we had was Monday or Tuesday of this week, and it's all coming together. The first half of the dance we have down pretty solid, and the next few parts are iffy. Not going to lie, Jenny and Andre have the dance down better than Kate so far. And Kate is our Beyonce. Once we have all of the moves down, then my work begins. I have to watch and take notes, and shout commands in the middle of the dance. I have to watch their arm movement their feet, and every part of their body to make sure they are doing the same thing at the same time. Each move has to be solid, swift, and perfect.

So I probably know what you're thinking right now. It's just a school talent show, why does it have to be perfect?? Well, we all decided that we're going to work our hardest to make this perfect. Yes we want it to be fun, but we want the school to know that we are the Single Ladies. We know how to dance. Basically, we're awesome.

It turns out now that Jordan and I might have to come up on the stage afterall. We won't have to do the dance, but they want us to do some sort of an introduction. Something along the lines of, this was this Single Ladies before -- insert bad dancing -- and here's the Single Ladies now... -- insert good dancing that we worked on forever -- I hope it all turns out well, and that we all don't embarrass ourselves too much!! If I get the chance, I'll try to post a video of the finished product! [<3]
