Wow. What can you say after such an amazing evening? *grins* Here it goes, blow by blow.
I got my hair done at two. I was so stinking excited. The hair turned out awesome. Then it came around time for six, and mom did mah makeup and helped me into my dress (that things a BEAST). Peter (my date) arrived at six thirty with his parents. So freakin' funny. As I came out of the bathroom, he just stood there, stunned. ^^ He looked so sharp last night, in a black tux, silver tie and vest... So we did the whole ritual of pinning on the crasauge(sp?) and he slipped the bougtnier on my wrist... It was so pretty too! Three small red roses bound by a little black ribbon... it was georgous and fit my dress perfectly. I got him a small reddish lily tied by a silver ribbon. Totally t3h sexy. As we were standing there, both of his parents had come with him, and they were commenting on how lucky Peter was that he was going to be able to take a girl like me to Prom. *blushes* It was so sweet. Of course, then I stopped him before it went any farther...:
"Peter, before this date gets any farther... Ask me to Prom." See, he had never actually asked me, and I wanted to be asked to Prom! So he blushed furiously and his parents snapped off a few shots of him asking me to Prom... Then a few pics of us together, apart, together. Mug shots. I'll post a link to them once I get them scanned. So then it came time for my mother to escort us to Jon's house. He opened the door for me and everything! I crawled in, and it was so funny, because he was dead silent. And so to break the silence, I was just kind of like, "I'm so nervous..." His face lit up and he smiled and he was like, "Me too!" It was all uphill from there. We arrived at Jon's, and found him in a sharp black suit (Not as good looking at Peter though, mind you) and Kirstin in this extravagent mint green dress. She had this massive train and looked amazing. (BTW: Kirstin and Jon were the other couple we went with.) We were sat in the dining room, nice and candlelit... We had porkchops, mashed potatoes, cream cheese bread, salad, and homemade ice cream. Then we headed back out to the mini van ^^ and headed up to Thanksgiving Point. Me and Peter had a great time talking about whatever came to mind, and half the time it involved video games.. ^^ Kirstin and Jon did their best to ignore us. We arrived, and he ushered me in on his arm. It was so sweet... We dropped our stuff off at a table and just had an AWESOME TIME. I mean, come on, how many couples can headbang at prom? It was so cool. We slow danced too though. In the middle of this really romantic song, we were box dancing, and he started teasing me...
"Once I get back home, after listening to this music so loud, I'm not going to be able to hear a thing. 'So Peter, did you have a good time?' 'WHAT?! I SMELL LIKE PINE?! I DON'T REMEMBER THAT!' 'No no no... How was Prom?' 'THERE'S A BOMB?! HUH?!' " I started laughing my head off so hard... Ruining the romantic mood, but I couldn't help it! And then Kirstin and Jon got the brilliant idea to go for a carriage ride. The line was massive, but we wanted the fresh air. So we stood outside, I was latched on to Peter for warmth. Jon kept flashing the camera, so Peter kept turning his head. This one time he got a face full of his bougtenier, which was hilarious... So then we gave up on the ride, went in and danced some more. Bob/Andrea was there, and she ran into me once. So we got in each other's faces and had a little stand off... I happened to have tucked 40$ away in my bra for tickets though, so I whipped it out and was like "What now wench?" and she was like "Sorry, I'm fresh out," and then her boyfriend smacks a five dollar bill on her chest. It was really funny... So then we left the dance and hopped back into the minivan. Kirstin and Jon crawled in the back, snuggled and fell asleep. The whole ride home, they were all mushy and romantic. Me and Peter talked about zombies the ride home. ^^ It was so cool! We were making this weird noises and having a grand old time. We dropped Kirstin and Jon off, and it was like, 12:30 then. Well, me and Peter were starving, so we pulled through Wendy's and got some food. We headed back to my house and watched Moulin Rouge, just to finish off the date. Of course, then it was like 3 in the morning... But it was so much fun! I laughed and laughed and laughed... I don't know why, but he just cracks me up so much! Did I mention it was his first date ever? I feel so special! YAY! So then his dad came and picked him up, and do you want to know what our porch scene consisted of? He gave me a huge hug, and then we cracked another zombie joke, and I watched him get into the car and drive off. It was wonderful. The best night I've ever had in my whole stinkin' life. ^^
