formal

Well, formal came and went and I can't believe that the event that all of us have been waiting and talking about for almost a year is over. It's OVER!! The day started off with me picking up the boutineer (sp?), and getting my hair and makeup done. I didn't really like any of it really, the makeup made me look really pale and the hair was just decent. Corey and I met up with Tiff, Matt and Anthony at Tiff's house before we headed off to Crystal Fountain. Her dad took a lot of pictures (non-digital) and some of them turned out pretty nice. I have to say though that the method in which her dad used to make us look like we had a natural smile seemed kindof weird to me...."look away...look away, now look back!" On the way to the place, we (Corey and I) got kindof lost because we missed an exit onto the highway when following Matt, Tiff and Anthony, but we got there with our awesome navigational skills *cough cough*. At Crystal Fountain, it was so nice to see everyone glammed up and in nice dresses and suits. It's only every once in a while that you actually see everybody clean and well-dressed. The food sucked a lot, but the dessert made up for it (ice cream crepe!). Didn't do a lot of dancing, except for at the beginning and end, and Corey and I just kindof hung out in the lobby sitting on this really comfortable sofa. Afterwards at Lucus' afterparty, I got kindof tipsy within the first 30 minutes and kindof laid on a futon for the rest of the 4 hours I was there. It was interesting because supposedly I was really loud and kept saying that i wasn't drunk. However, I remembered everything in the morning so it was suffice to say that I wasn't smashed or anything bad like that. People were nice enough to take care of me and helped me walk to places like the bathroom and outside. Overall, it was a good nice, some stuff in the end that I didn't really find nice but other than that, I wouldn't trade my time for anything in the world. Just next time, I hope to not be lying on a futon for the entire time and actually walk around and witness other people being drunk.
