Looooonnnngg Night

So........yesterday was homecoming. And I figure I shouldn't not write about it, since it's been the topic of discussion and such a controversial point in my life lately....so yeah.

Hmmm...well, let's see..first off, I was out late friday night. I went party hopping with Abby and it was mucho fun. First Amanda's, then Beth's. Then we just came back to my house and sat around and talked to my mom...lol. And it was raining. So we were pretty much drenched to the bone...and cold. But oh well. Fun just the same.

Then we both planned to wake up a like 10 the next morning to go to each other's hair appointments. So she came and picked me up at like....11, then we went to JCPenney to get her hair done (it was gorgeous), then we went to Micky D's and got some food, then I went to get my hair done. (I think it looked ok...I had a huge ass flower in it.) After that, Abby and I split, her going home, and me and my mom runnin errands, like picking up the flowers for Ben and my brother's date "Vito" (her nickname). We also went to Kroger and Kmart.

Then I came home, did my nails, makeup, got dressed, and Natalie came over to see me and took pictures of me and Tom.....which were pretty crazy, I have to admit. One of them made me laugh out loud...good times. Then Ben showed up. (I have to make a side note on how we were dressed......my dress was silver. Like, a grayish bluish silver. and I wore red jewelery...and a red flower in my hair. And I put an OSU tattoo on my shoulder....he wore black pants, a gray shirt and an OSU tie....can you guess the theme? haha...) We went through a round of pictures, then another round because the first one didn't turn out, then another one because THOSE didn't turn out. Then we left to go to his house where he was having people over.

And there were a ton of people. I'd say about 15-16 people. And we watched the end of the OSU game, ate lots of food..took a boat load of these jacked up pictures, and made fools of ourselves. We did however make it to the dance - quite an accomplishment.

The theme for this year's homecoming was 50's...which I guess might've sounded like a neato mosquito idea at the time, but in all honesty, it was kinda...Idk...not as good as some other themes. I don't wanna make anyone mad about that, I just didn't particularly like the theme.

I took a lot of pictures. I had only been there for maybe 15 minutes when I looked down and realized I only had 1 picture left on my camera....lol. Then everyone started dancing, which was harder than it seemed at first because (due to the theme) they played all these 50's songs that not many people knew, or we weren't sure how to dance to. It did get better though, and dance we did. Although that seemed like a feat too, it was so hot in there, I went to get water like 3 times. But it was cool. It was my first dance with my brother there, and I got a cute picture of us...and like half my friends came up to me during the night and were all "omg, I just danced with your brother..." yeah.....it was interesting.

Then afterwards, Ben took me home to change, then he went home to change, and we went out to Cornmeal's house.

(By the way.....I was soooooo mucho excited about the "after-te-dance" stuff, because my mom definitely didn't give me a curfew. Can you believe it? My mom, miss I'm-never-allowed-to-do-anything let me stay out as late as I needed.........or well, she told me I had to go to church in the morning, hinting that I should at least be home by 6....so yeah. I was pumped.)

We hung at Cornmeal's for awhile, but then Ben went home (he was really tired) and I stayed there until about 4:30...then a bunch of us went to Waffle House...and ate waffles...."I'm an animal!!!!" haha. It was about 5:30, and we didn't really want to go home and sleep, so I brought everyone (aka like 7 people...yeah not much) back to my house and we sat in my trailer for about an hour. Everyone was gone by about 6:30, and then I didn't even go to bed until about 7:30.....but you know what the craziest thing is??!?

I woke up at 8:20. Yeah....for church. I HAD LESS THAN AN HOUR OF SLEEP. But I was okay.....I just came home and slept for awhile...lol. And I got my pictures developed. So it's all good.

My mom asked me what I thought about homecoming this morning on the way to church, as she was trying to keep me awake. With all the stuff that's been going on with me lately, I really was kinda nervous as to how homecoming was going to turn out. And you know, I'm not really sure what I think of it. At first, I was really happy and having fun.....then there was a spot in the middle where I was crying in the girls' bathroom, and I yelled at Amanda Moeller because she wouldn't stop asking me what was wrong...then I got a lil better towards the end, got a lil depressed at first at Cornmeal's, but then Ben left and I was just fine.....lol. After that, I had a great time.

Best or worst homecoming? I'll say the same thing I ended up telling my mom: It coulda been a lot worse, but it coulda been a lot better. End of story...
