The Prom Report

First of all, I'd like to welcome Denise to my blog-reading community. Hi, Denise!

Well, let's see. The day started with me hiking to WB to buy a graduation video. Yay. Then I went to pick up the corsage from Jim's.

I put on my dad's tux and realized that the shirt was just a little too big, but oh well. I couldn't resist standing in front of the mirror and saying, "Bond. James Bond." Oh yeah.

My sister Aimee got off work early so I could borrow her Matrix for the night. I went over to Denise's to pick her up, and Diane and Denise's aunt took about 5000 photographs. That's when I discovered that guys have it easy. All the girls wear wrist corsages these days, so it's a lot easier to put her corsage on than for her to put the boutonniere on.

Then we went to Chris's for some more photos. We decided to just take my car since it had plenty of room. We went to Olive Garden, and of course they were busy, so we were waiting a while. Anyway, we ate, and Chris tried desperately not to spill on his rental tux. Then it was off to the dance!

By the time we got there, the only size t-shirt they had left was XL. Lucky us. About as soon as we got there, I got waylaid by Krystel, who was having trouble with her digital camera. I messed with it a few minutes, and told her that as far as I could figure out, the batteries were bad. I found out today that I was right. Anyway, I then looked up to see that Chris, Jen, and Denise had gone inside already.

The place was really nice. There was an ice sculpture of "WBHS" that everybody thought was kind of cool. We staked out a table and then went off to dance.

The music was better than some dances I've been to in that everything they played at least had a beat. Denise and I danced for a while, and then we went to get our picture taken, and then we danced some more. During the breaks we talked a bit, and that's when I learned she reads my blog. But hey, I don't have a problem with that.

Art Klatt was named Prom King and Anna Mack Prom Queen. I voted for both of them, so that was cool.

When the prom was over, we (Denise, Chris, Jen, Mary, Alcozer, and I) set out for Fox Bowl, which was supposed to be open until 1. When we got there, they said they were closing at midnight. Stupid Fox Bowl. So we went to Palace. We were joined there by Renee and her group. They were closing at 1, so we only got about a half hour of pool in. Then we all went to Denny's, which it seems is the only place open late on Thursday nights. We had many interesting discussions, and then we went home.

All in all, I had a wonderful time.

I'll tell you about the next day some other time. I'm tired of typing.
