dance

Goddd Safari sucks, Firefox sucks, MACS SUCK. I’m getting a new laptop as soon as I figure out what I want to get. Any tech-savy people want to help me out? I can figure out how to do things on my own just fine, but when it comes to all that technical stuff like researching computers and what not, that’s not really my forte.

Anyways, senior prom was lotss of fun! :) I’m uploading the pictures now onto photobucket, even though Britney already uploaded them onto Facebook from her computer… since mine makes you upload them individually, one by one… BECAUSE MACS SUCK. Real. I’m switching back to Firefox 2, because nothing seems to work on their Beta 3. Umm soooo I was 40 minutes late to Britney’s house! But apparently Olivia arrived like 5 min before I did, and Amir was late too, but still. Haha. I was running late initially because I had to drive Joanne home and there was hella traffic in Tiburon since all these cars were turning onto this one street and it was pretty lame and I was pissed. Because if I had gone 5 min later, all the traffic would have been gone, but instead, I caught it coming both ways. Then my plan was to pick up Jin’s boutinere on the way back from dropping Joanne off, but I forgot my wallet! Stupid. So I went home. And got to Safeway around like… 5:20? Haha. And the freaking person was on BREAK. I have the worst luck ever. So then I see this guy walking up in a suit and I’m like, dude. Prom. And then he comes closer, hangs up his cell phone, and we start talking, and then I’m like… holy shit. Are you Roy Lang? Yeah. It was pretty crazy.

Sooo thennn I finally got to Britney’s, as I said, late. Took picturess, and then the limo called me and said he just got into an accident! So Britney and I were like …….. holy shit. But it was a small accident, and so he just exchanged information with the guy, and then came. Since he was pretty close when he got into the accident. We had to call in to the restaurant though, saying we’d be 15-20 min late, even though we ended up being 30 min late. On the way to the restaurant though, this other restaurant who I made reservations with and then cancelled called me saying “Where are you?” And I was like I cancelled the reservations like a million years ago what are you talking about. And then they started saying how they were going to charge me since I didn’t cancel, so I got annoyed and was like, “You can’t charge me. I DID cancel.” Good thing they didn’t press it. I would have actually gotten pissed.

Dinner was good. Except I ate like… maybe half of my dinner T_T It was too much. I kind of wish I had gotten the angel hair pasta though. haha. Well, maybe I’ll drag someone else there (Christine?) and try it then :D And then I can actually take home the leftovers too! Mm it was goooddd thoughhh :) Maybe I’m just saying that cuz I’m REALLY hungry right now T_T

We got to the hotel around 9ish? No well maybe a little later than that. I think the latest you could get there was 9:15, haha. Umm we danced A LOT. Haha. I don’t know. I actually relented and took off my shoes after like… I don’t know. Maybe 10ish? Weak. I usually keep my shoes on the WHOLE time, but since a lot of other girls took off their heels too, the probability of me getting stepped on by other peoples’ heels was decreased. Actually, I think I only got stepped on twice, which was less than the number of times I got stepped on say, during junior prom. But junior prom was really cramped, haha. There was a lot more space at the hotel, and a lot less people dancing at once. The DJ kind of sucked. They kept switching songs and it was just confusing. It was better dancing sans heels though :P Haha. Apparently some big rapper came and preformed, but I didn’t know him. I am wayyy behind in music these days. I’m not sure why? I don’t have a real good excuse. Mainly just laziness to go and download songs, I suppose. Umm at some point during the dance they were checking limos and party buses for drugs and alcohol and stuff. Haha woww. Some people left early, some people got busted. I thought they needed search warrants for that stuff, but I guess since it’s a school event…

After prom, we were supposed to go to the beach but it was all foggy and everyone was just really lazy so we went to Denny’s instead. Shared a milkshake and sampler. Then we went back to Britney’s, attempted to watch a movie (didn’t work out too well when everyone left and then no one really wanted to watch the movie), and then just stayed up till 5 talking, hahaha :D Fun stuff. Britney and I woke up at 7 because SOMEONE’s phone kept going off -_-;; Fell back asleep till 10:30 (for me…) and then I was dead the rest of the day. Like, seriously dead x_x;; Got home at like 5:50, took a shower, went to sleep till 11. And even though I took that “nap” plus I slept for like 7 hours last night, I’m still hella tired. Andd about to go out again.

Okay photobucket absolutely SUCKS. I have no idea why I use it anymore – no one even knows about it, and I just end up using facebook anyways. It’s like… it stops uploading if I switch my windows to one other than the one uploading the pictures. Such bs. Plus, the bulk uploader is not working for me. For now, I’ll just post up the facebook links to pictures.

Pictures! (Photobucket is still not done. Someone just kill it. I should just delete it.)

God, it’s only Wednesday, yet every day of this week has felt like a Friday to me. What a bummer. At least PROM is this weekend, and while I usually am dreading it, and I kind of was last weekend (maybe I shouldn’t publisize this; it might come off as mean, but this is nothing personal I was just shopping and got sick of it. Like god damn it why can’t the perfect cheap shoes just APPEAR? Annoying) I am currently indifferent about it. I don’t really know. That still sounds pretty mean. I can’t help it, though. It’s just in me to dread every single exciting thing right before it happens. I dread jr. prom last year, jr. prom this year, Japan last year, Shanghai in eighth grade, like every fun thing that happens in my life.

But I seriously think there needs to be like an account titled, “Prom Expense” in accounting. Honestly. It is SUCH a rip off, and I can’t believe I’m buying into it, but T_T I keep trying to tell myself that it’s all worth it. And maybe it is. It probably is. But it’s just so EXPENSIVE. So far just THIS year:

Jr. Prom:
Dress – $30
Shoes – $40
Boutonniere – $12
Limo – $40
Dinner – $17
Necklace – $7
Bracelets – $6
Earrings – $5
TOTAL = $157

Sr. Prom:
Dress – $160
Earrings + Clutch (I’m going to return the clutch) – $24
Tickets – $200
Boutonniere – $10
Limo – $64
Dinner – $20
Hair clip – $54 (Please shoot me. I should NOT have gone shopping with Joanne…)
Shoes – $64
TOTAL = $596

Total Spent on Prom Altogether in 2008 = $753

And I might buy shoes. I don’t know yet. I might just use the shoes I bought in Japan. They’re a bit lower though… but at the same time, they would hurt less when I dance, right? (post edited for shoes) I’d say that Britney, Emily, and I did a pretty good job pulling together prom plans in just 2 weeks though, hahaha. So now we have a restaurant, place to take pictures, limo, and potential place to go after, though that last one is still being worked on. I just bought Jin’s boutonniere TODAY… during lunch. Hahaha. But it’s okay, he already knows :x Ermm but the necklace that I was planning on wearing broke. I was going to wear the one Fumihiro gave me in Japannn but god, it seems like all my necklaces from that trip broke =\ Or… I lost the one from Jo, and my cross one broke. Actually, I wanted to get a new chain for my cross necklace and just wear that.

I like how noone carrreess!! Hahaha. Okay. Well, change of subjects. I bought the sequel of Halfway to the Grave yesterday! Mainly because my 25% off coupon expired yesterday, haha. I also accepted my housing app thing last night, so I’m officially living in a Hendrick Summit triple with a shared bathroom next year! I’m excited :) (see, it’s still far enough away for me to be excited) I’m kind of in my ehhhh mood about France at the moment. Cuz when I went through it, I finally realized how much I’ll actually be gone during the summer :\ Blah. Don’t know. Mmm AP Econ tests tomorrow. I think I’m okay for Macro but Micro I’m a bit worried about. But then again, 4=5 for UCLA, so yeah. Hopefully I can still get a 5 though :P Hehe.

I’m goneeeeee. So tired and so hungry! Prom is a really addicting topic to talk about. Like. I can’t stop. So maybe I am excited… :)

Should I blog? I don’t know. I’ve been constantly debating with myself all weekend whether I should or shouldn’t. It’s already Sunday, though it’s kind of ironic how I say that. All of yesterday, it felt to me like it was already Sunday. I’m kind of at a loss of what to say though. The weather’s so nice, so I want to go out, but I know that I can’t afford to because of my damn econ final on Wednesday. Arghhhhh I hate APs! Let’s just go to tomorrow, then skip about 3 weeks, and then it’ll be ovverrrrrrrr. Omg T_T

Wow. Tomorrow’s my birthday! I wonder how many people know that. I used to make it known to the world, but now I don’t really anymore. I can’t believe I’m only a day away from being eighteen. That’s crazy stuff. I vowed to do something for my birthday, but I’m not really sure if that will happen.

Friday night, junior prom was lots of fun. I didn’t really take that many pictures though. Lol, I’m kind of torn between Photobucket and Facebook – I don’t know where to upload my pictures anymore. The thing I like about Photobucket is that I can keep my stuff very organized, whereas Facebook it’s just… there. But Facebook you can tag people and the tags actually do something, and people can leave comments and stuff. Oh well, I’ll link the Facebook one… haha.

Actually, the photobucket one has a bit more: just pics of my corsage and then 2 short clips of the Golden Gate bridge, only because my camera always fails to take pretty night pictures like that T_T I just don’t gettt it. It stopped being able to take those kinds of pics in Japan too, which was extremely frustrating T_T

I guess that’s all I’ll say. I’m extrêmement hungry T_T
