the festivities they call prom

bonjour! if i've ever said that it's been a while, i lied. i guess 3 weeks was about enough. sooo prom was the best. i mean, it was killer! around 5:30 nate came over with his parents for our photo shoot. by the way, they all turned out fabulous. (check the xanga for 2 of them) aaand the snapshots commenced. so we were going to go to an italian place (don't remember the name) but then we decided to stick with something we knew. Blind Tiger. it was soooo good!! i think it could be my new favorite restaurant...i know major commitment there, but it could be. we had steak and loaded baked potatos, mmmm. there were a lot of other prom people there as well.

after our gourmet meal we hit reed underwood's house for some creme brulee. {crème brû·lée ( P ) Pronunciation Key (krm br-l)n. A custard with a crust of caramelized sugar.} i just tried it because it has a major role in one of my favorite movies, My Best Friend's Wedding. cameran d & julia roberts have the most priceless conversation invented....

"see kimmy, suppose michael is at a restaurant and the waiter brings him creme brulee. but michael doesn't want creme brulee."
"what does michael want?"
"....jello."
"jello!? why does he want jello?"
"bbe, because....he's comfortable with jello."
"i could be jello..."
"hahah, no, you can't be jello."
"no, i could be jello! i HAVE to be jello!"
"NO KIMMY, creme brulee could never be jello! YOU COULD NEVER BE JELLO!"

lol!!! if you've seen that movie you know how hilarious that dialogue is. and if you haven't you realllllly should! where was i, ah yes prom. so i decided i like jello better too. so we went from reed's to prom. we checked our belongings.....ugh.....and grooved our way to the dance floor. it was really a lot of fun! they had a lot of different types of songs, it was the bomb diggidy! although there were a few "modernistic" style dancers near us. hahah, oh wow yea that was dis-cus-ting! so after pretty much everyone was gone we reluctantly left the cafeteria. so we had to get nate's coat and my purse before we could go change for after prom. to our surprise we were greeted with a line as long as the ones for the mamba. we waited from 11:30 to 12:30 to get OUR OWN BELONGINGS back. so we were pretty wiped out, frusterated, discouraged by the time we got our stuff. we then went to nathan's to slip into something a little more comfortable....uh jeans, if there was any confusion there.

i think we got to after prom about 1ish. then we got our 'passports' and our free afterprom t-shirts. we looked around the gym and everywhere for a while. i was pretty overwhelmed. if we hadn't been so tired, i think it could've been a lot of fun, but alas. they had some blow up games, a casino, and movies and stuff. but we both agreed that we could have just as much fun someplace else. so we went back to his casa for some early morning tv. he took me home about 4:30, i got to bed at 5 and i only slept until 10 am, count them, 5 hours. i heard my parents getting ready and then i faintly heard to words "mothers day" come from my own dear mother's mouth. i was so tired, but i waited in bed until they left for church, and i got up, went to dillons, bought my mom a card and some chocolate, and laid down again (the relief of sleep had been lost). and thus concludes my prom experiences.
