Let's see. I started my day by waking up around nine. I took a shower, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, the stuff you do in the morning. The rest of the day I picked up a little bit because people were meeting at my house and that's where we were going to have breakfast. There was a "Star Wars" marathon on so I said, "Why not?" and watched that for about seven hours. I had to save energy for later that night.
Our group of eight of planned to leave for St. Joe at six. I got ready at 5:55. We ate at Fuji's Japanese Steakhouse.Fuji's was my idea, because our prom theme was Shanghai Nights and I thought that kinda went with it, even though Shanghai is in another country. But I wasn't the only one who thought of the great idea because there were four or five other groups there for prom. The food was good and the entertainment was awesome.
When we got back (to Maryville) we changed, took pictures and I remembered when we were in front of the fireplace ready to pose, I had forgotten to shave. We got that all finished with and went to prom.
We got to the Union at about 10 because the girls wanted to be fashionably late. I didn't care. I just wanted to dance. The decorations we put up the day before looked really good. After a few more pictures, I danced the night away. Then we went back to my house to change again for after-prom.
After-prom was one of the main things I was looking forward to that night. It has a bunch of inflatable games and then a hypnotist at the end. It was really funny seeing my girlfriend, Darbi, being hypnotized. I had a really good time just messing around and hanging with friends.
Overall, prom was a fun night. I don't get all hyped up like you see the girls, and some guys, do. I like it because it is a brief halt to the same boring routine. Prom is kind of like Christmas. You build up all this excitement for it, then it happens, and the next day you're like, "Where did it go?" It's not the biggest highlight of my year, but it's something that was fun, exciting, and that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
