Prom-ing up the Night

Holy (insert religious deity of your choosing here) PROM is tonight!

How crazy is that?!?!?

Over the last several months I've been like, "Prom is forever away, why do I have to make any decisions now?" Honestly if I hadn't have had a date who pushed me to get everything done, I would still probably been unprepared. But I got the dress, shoes, other accessories, hair is getting done later alone with nails and make-up (geez I sound like such a girl). Yet it still doesn't feel like its happening...

Despite my lack of belief in this reality, I truly am excited. I've never been to a prom since NS only have a senior prom, and I've never been super in with many of the past seniors. Which I say is good because this is MY prom and I think it is only suppose to be a one time experience.
I remember when I was younger(like 8) ---whoa whoa whoa! I have a different spill about being younger in a minute*--- and I thought prom was the stupidest thing ever. I was the kid who was very much like OH HELL NO I'M NOT WEARING A BIG DRESS, and what not. Even when I got older(like freshman year) and tagged a long to help my sister with her prom-preparation-festivities, I was pretty sure that it wasn't for me. But guess what, I'm going to prom, with one of my closest friends, in a fancy dress-and hair and make-up and heels- and I'm super excited. I wasn't even excited at first, but as the time unbelievingly crept closer, my excitement has indeed grown. I guess I am more girlish than I would usually admit when it comes to liking to feel pretty.  And our theme is "Night of Nostalgia" and I'm wondering if they are going to be playing 90's music or something- which I'd be cool with, yo.

But guys, why does Mother's Day have to be tomorrow? It's one of the few days of the year that I wear anything my mom wants me to (dresses) and go anywhere my mom wants me to (church). I haven't actually told my mom that I'm NOT coming home after prom. And I'm not sure when I'll be home the next day either. I love my mother (even though she was a punk this week) but like I already said, this prom thing only happens once; I want to do all the jazz that comes with it including hotel room after parties. UGH. She will understand, right?

In other news I'm an official nerd because I had SOME FUN taking the AP Lit+Comp test the other day. I'm pretty confident about the Gov/Eco test next week. I am SO SET for graduation in June that it's no joking matter. My graduation present (and my sister's because she just graduated with her Bachelor's yesterday) is a 5 day trip to New York. I'm so freaking pumped about it and I've already got tickets to see Wicked on broadway! Later in the summer, I also have tickets for The Lion King. My brother is still a punk. My dog is HUGE. My life is a balance between sucking and awesomeness, so I guess that makes it average?? I've pretty much set in on a IDGAF school attitude since GPA's a Ranks set in (which I've decided I'm content with my #55) I still have no phone, haven't for over a MONTH. It's sort of raining at the moment. I'm the only one awake right now and about to enjoy some oatmeal. I have no pants on. #thingsyoudontneedtoknow

Mmhhmmm.

Oh.

*Guys, how old do I look???? I've always been told I look younger than I am. But it's only hit me these last few months when I start talking about college or graduation and people who don't know me all that well are like "WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE 16." And to confirm this, I've asked my entire family, many friends, some teachers, and some strangers to tell what age I look. EVERY ANSWER WAS 16. They all say that that will be a good thing for me in the future, but I just want to look my age. I'm going to be 18, a freaking adult who can vote and shit, in about 3 weeks. 18. Not 16. So I went on to ask my family how old I looked when I WAS 16. Answer? 14. Really?! To make matters worse, all of those same people say that my LITTLE brother looks 16 as well. He IS 14. Yes, he is taller and bigger and stronger than I am, but he is only 14. And apparently we look the same age??!! What?
So I don't know, it's not that I'm upset. I'm just surprised. It's probably no big deal, I just want it to be known that I am in fact turning EIGHTEEN on June 2nd, no other age.


Look a Hippo


kbye.
