Prom

so once again i was persuaded to participate in one of the most anticipated events in a teen's life. some hate it, some could careless or think its a joke, and others live for it...yes, you guessed it, prom. the girls spend months searching for the perfect dress, weeks before planning flowers, hair, nails, make up, shoes, buying tickets, deciding on post prom or parties, while others go home to zonk out.
THEN, the day arrives and we all scurry around the house like chickens with our heads cut off screaming and giggling, taking thousands of pictures. the limos arrive and take us to our final destination, the party room. we sit at the table eagerly anticipating the delicious smelling food brought to our tables by the waiters, and the dessert one must not forget that! and of course the dancing that comes much later.
so we move to the dance floor slowly wondering to ourselves, will it be awkward or fun, crazy or silly, what will happen for the slow dances? where do i put my hands? haha well thats an important question but we get it all worked out and we have fun bouncing around and bopping to the beat of the music. this will be a night that many remember, either as fun, boring, exciting, or saddening, but it will be remembered. at least for a bit.
we load back into our limos to sleep or continue the party until we arrive back to the school or our houses feet hurting, bodies muggy, and hair frizzy and tangled. the next task is getting out of those dresses and into comfy clothes and slippers. the end to a perfect night? falling asleep with your friends all around your feet, on your couch, your bed or wherever they can find a spot after a night of laughing, chatting, soothing, and partying.
