I So Totally Went to That Prom

So... Um... I WENT TO PROM AND IT WAS AWESOME! Thought I'd clear that up, and more on prom later.
"I feel terrible when I let you down. And I let you down every single time, so maybe you ought to suck it up." Thanks to A Softer World (another one of those webcomics I read) for that quote.
You can't let other people decide whether or not you have a good day. You can't depend on other people for your happiness. You have to let it go and make the most of what you have, no matter what it is. And when you have nothing, then you have nothing to lose, so go for it, whatever it is. It's scary, but you have to let go. I'm not saying that if you're hurt, you have no reason to feel the way you feel. By all means, feel whatever it is that you need to feel. But once you realize that it was a while ago, and yes it was a big deal, whatever you did about it has been done. Even if you just cried about it or wrote some really awful emo poetry, it happened. Give it up and move on.
Everyone has a friend (or should) who listens to all the music no one has heard of, hears the popular songs right before they become popular, and always knows what bands you're talking about. (I was just texted saying tomorrow is National Hug Day! Make sure you hug someone!) This, of course, is not me. However, I do have a friend like that, and he is always leaving random mix CD's around my house. They are always stellar; unfortunately, I never know what the bands are or what the songs are called until I get around to asking him.
Ok, so prom was fantastic. I was so worried, and so anxious... I mean, what if I like got barfed on and then died, or velociraptors attacked and no one had a plan but me? That would be disappointing. So I was so relieved when I realized everything was going great and seemed to be staying great. Actually, I was ecstatic. It was so much fun. They didn't even have a theme! They just decorated. And the after-prom was pretty cool. I learned how to play poker. No, scratch that, I learned how to fail miserably at poker. It was still great. Anyways, I just had this little bit of dread and nervousness that comes with forever being disappointed. So not only was I happy because the prom itself was awesome, but because I didn't have any reason to be so nervous! It was nice, the not worrying.
Have fun everyone! More exciting things will be happening, I'm sure.

My Pokemon Bring All the Nerds To The Yard

"My Pokemon bring all the nerds to the yard. They're like, you wanna trade cards? Darn right I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this but not my Charizard!" I give credit to Facebook for that little rhyme. I don't know who thought it up but it's genius. :) (If you still don't understand the joke then you fail.)
Anywho, I was thinking about Pokemon because this weekend, my school band went on a trip! Oh, my freaking goodness it was amazing. Our band is really small, because our school is really small, so I think there were 18 people not including adults. On the way up, we stopped at a gas station and they sold Pokemon cards and I just FREAKED. I bought a new pack of cards for the first time in like, ever. I actually bought two. It was great.
I also saw my first baseball game! It was Kansas City Royals against Boston Red Sox. The Royals lost, obviously, although I don't really care. Baseball isn't my thing, exactly. ANNNND, I saw this amazing band called Stomp. They were a trash can band, so they were like drumming on trash cans and clapping and using brooms and wow it was just so incredible. The whole performance was intense. It's much cooler than I'm probably making it sound. The whole trip was just awesome.
I have prom next weekend! Exciting, I know. Well, I'm excited. As in, SUPER EXCITED!!! I was one of those girls who dreamed about prom since I was little, and I would spend hours looking through prom dress magazines, dreaming about the perfect prom dress.
You know how I said I was reading "Kissed By An Angel?" or some book like that? Well, I didn't. I read the Hobbit, and then I think some other book, and now I just read two new books. The first book was called "Serious Kiss" and the second one was titled "The Three Juvies." I don't know who they're by, but the author of "The Three Juvies" also wrote the book "Schooled."
Oh! The school play just showed Friday and Saturday, and guess what? I'm in it! It was a murder mystery play, only there were alternate endings. It sounds weird, but after the first act, the audience votes on who they think murdered the victim, and whichever character gets the most votes determines the ending. I was the murderer Saturday! It was so much fun, and kind of nerve-wracking. By Saturday, the whole cast didn't care as much, and we were just doing little funny things and we didn't care if the audience caught on. It was a great weekend, to say the least.

Happy Pi Day!

Today is March 14, which is pi day! You know, 3.14 and so on and so forth. Yeah. So... Anyone else here a nerd?
Alsoooo it's spring break! Yay! I'm so happy :) Of course, I'm not actually DOING anything for spring break, but you know, it's still a good thing. Doing something would be far too cool for someone like me. I'll probably be hanging out with my friends, when they aren't working or whatever. That and sitting on my butt listening to music. Oh! I also started reading "Kissed By an Angel" for the second time. I started it once and didn't get very far. And I would, uh, tell you who it's by, but I kind of forgot and I don't want to go grab the book. So yeah.
Okay, so pretty much I'm not going to stop typing about prom until about, oh say, a week after it happens. So here goes: I tried on my friend's old prom dress that doesn't fit her. And after I adjusted it a little (yes I can sew) it fit me! Yes! It is so amazingly pretty that I don't even know it just is. I was told that I will be going shopping, for shoes at least, but I still don't know if I will be wearing that dress. In all likelihood I will, but you never know. It's blue with a halter neckline and the neckline is covered in beads and it's long and flowy and pretty. As you can see, I am great at describing it.
Anywho, I'm incredibly grateful it's spring break. One of my friends got kitties! Ooh I hope I get to see them! And also, I dyed my hair. It's lighter blonde on top and red underneath. It really doesn't look too different.

Arms of a Thief

"It's a cold, cold place in the arms of a thief..." Arms of a Thief by Iron & Wine. It's a very pretty song. :)
Anywho, is anyone else ready for spring break? I am so tired of school and everything. A break would certainly be appreciated, and I get the sense that other people are feeling the same way. It would be nice not to worry about anything for a week!
Oh, my goodness! I get to go to prom! EEEEP! Ok, I'm done. But really, I am quite excited. I really want to see him and I get to wear a pretty dress and when you are as girly as me wearing a dress is an exciting proposition. It seems silly but... Even though we are just friends, when I go I want to be the only girl he looks at. Plus, we're really GOOD friends. I don't know, I don't want to seem vain or anything. Of course, I don't want to be the out-of-town skanky girl. It's awful, but at our school dances, sometimes you look at the girls from other towns and you wonder why they would get such a short dress. Or why they have to keep pulling the neckline of their dress just to keep it from falling off.
Another song to listent to is Hardwire by Metric. At least, I liked it.

I Still Say "Like Like"

Instead of saying "I have a crush on someone" I say, "Yeah I like this person." *pause* "I like like him!"
Which reminds me, I was asked to prom! It's an out-of-town prom, as in about five hours away. This boy is one of my best friends, and guess where I met him? Yup, he's a band camp boy. I haven't seen him since the summer! But there is actually a chance that I will be allowed to go to his prom, and I'm so excited. I have always wanted to prom dress shop! Actually, I will probably be borrowing a dress from a friend, but on the off chance I don't I will get to look for a prom dress of my own. Of course, I won't need a dress if I'm not allowed to go.
