It did rock.
Mmm okay! So I woke up at 7:30 and got in the shower. Some time after 9 I got gas, then got my nails done. The lady there said I needed a manicure badly. Um, oh well. lol. Then I picked up my manflower and came home. I eventually went out for some lunch at Tropical Cafe. Yummy. Then at 12:30 I left for my 1:00 hair appointment. The place was chaotic because that shopping center was having it's grand opening. I didn't really have anything in mind for my hair, so I told my person to just go for it. It turned out pretty well. I paid, left, drove home, and sat around until 4. It was then I started the finishing process of getting ready. Took my time though.
Here I am waiting for Grant to arrive. He did a bit after 5:30.
omg do I look way skinny. damn. So I'm trying to put on that manflower but just can't get it. I had been able to in the past.
omg, I look disgustingly skinny. Um, gaining weight back pronto.
Um, I need help with this manflower.
His mom helps.
But the flower was on and we took pictures. Aw. this is Grant. The boyfriend.
cute.
cute again.
precious
and now we look at my camera.
So now it's time to leave and I drive us to Julie's house for more pictures. Mom and dad drive behind us. We get there. Park. First one's there, lol. But then Rachel and her boyfriend Ship arrive. We all go inside. More people arrive and it's all fine and dandy. We eventually go outside to take pictures.
Dad takes some pictures of Katie (Julie's sister) as Julie and Blaine get ready to exchange.
Bryan, Ship, and Rachel in an odd moment lol.
Julie and her boyfriend Blaine. I was taking a picture with her camera in this one.
Cute. Blaine is a cool guy.
Another.
Then we waited in the kitchen. I needed to sit down because of the dress, lol.
Lauren came downstairs and her hair was done after Jessica Alba's oscar hair style. It was really awesome looking.
Bryan and girlfriend Kaelyn.
Rachel with boyfriend Ship. Too cute! He actually looks like someone I know. (Do you think Chris, or Sirius, Angela?)
Grant and I again.
Julie with boyfriend Blaine.
Jessica with date Tucker.
Lauren with date Corey.
Here are the girls. (missing Tori, she's late, lol) Kaelyn, Julie, me, Lauren, Jessica, and Rachel.
zooming in.
the guys. And they wouldn't pose as well. lol. Corey, Blaine, Grant, Bryan, Tucker, and Ship.
All of us. Aren't we cute!
We left for Kiva's. People followed me. And you may remember, maybe, that I went there for dinner last year. With a different group, so that's how that worked out. Anyway, the manager and crew were angry with us because our group size kept changing. And four of us got stuck at a separate table. We begged to be put together, because how difficult could it be. Luckily they did and I had a nice end of the table, with Blaine and Julie.
me and Julie.
Julie and Rachel.
So we left Kiva's a bit after 9 and drove to the dance. Got there. Took pictures. checked in his jacket and my camera. Shh. It was scary to part with. I couldn't move so well in that dress, but we did dance to some slow songs and it was lovely. Apparently my dress was a hit. We left the dance a bit before 11:30. Grant and I went to my house to change for the after party. Did just that and left for Ryan's. The location. lol. Park, go in and hang out. Eventually we end up just sitting with Julie, Blaine, Bryan, and Kaelyn. We had a really good time. I was waiting for Julie to show up, as I would be splitting the drinks with her. Twas good. I didn't have much. Had two Smirnoff's. Was a bit tipsy, but still was quite aware. Anyway. pictures:
me and Karen. We bonded last year.
group shot.
Karen again.
It would empty and then fill up with people on and off.
uh oh!
Bryan and Kaelyn with some odd stuff in the picture. Wait, Grant was ripping his shirt, so that must be it.
Thanks Grant, trying to take a picture of them.
haha laughing at that previous one.
Look! Ryan Stiles came to the party!
So Jamie would come visit me every so often. She was out of it.
lol.
Jamie and I.
Amber and Matt's head.
Jamie and Nick.
Carl, Jamie, and Nick.
Jamie and Sarah.
Jamie and Sarah.
Tori and Matt (who were late for pictures earlier).
Then Lauren started throwing up which closed off the bathroom for the two chances I had to use it of course. So I took a trip out into the woods to piss. That was a blast. Gross, but had to go. And at one point Bryan and Kaelyn took our couch and so Grant and I went out to the car to sleep. After some time of course, heh. Anyway. Probably went to sleep, I want to say around ...5:15. .. ? Maybe? Grant told me to wake up (I think) at 6:15 saying let's go. I say okay. Well not quite. He went in to get my pillow from Bryan and Kaelyn, lol. And then we went. Went to his dads place. Stayed in that parking lot for a bit and then he left. But uh oh. He's missing his shoes. I go back to Ryan's for them, grab them, but he doesn't want me to bring them to him. *shurgs* I probably won't see him for quite a long time, maybe .. a month. ooo that sucks. So I guess I'm just holding on to that! I then came home.
I am a mess.
And my hair didn't survive, lol.
All in all, a very nice night. Everyone agrees.
