Today was the night of the Homecoming Dance, and even after I told myself over and over that I wouldn't go I actually ended up going in the end. ._.
One thing I'd found out on the last few days before was that I had to wear a dress, (I didn't have dress pants) but I was tempted to go tomboyish and wear a tux. My mom wouldn't let me, much less waste money on one for me, so she made me go with her and Amanda for a little shopping spree. *cringes*
I had woken up early today, so before we even went I sat downstairs waking up with coffee and watching some movie mom got called The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Even if it was a chick-flick drama, I had to admit it really touched me and I could have cried, but I held the tears back ashamed of them. The characters each had something about them I liked, well, the flirtacious blonde did take a while, but she grew on me. Though, the character I liked most was Tibby, the rebel, she was just awesome... and she even wore a shirt with Hiragana on it! surprised If I had paused it I could have read it too, gahh... too lazy.... heh, anyway, even if I did like the rebel I'd have to say I related most to Lena. She was the shy and quiet one of the group, not to mention a good artist, but the way she acted reminded me a lot of myself, and made me realize just how innocent I actually am. >.>;
Well, once the tissues were put away (haha, kidding) I walked upstairs and got a shower, then soon left for the dreaded shopping. We ended up getting a few dresses each to try on, both Amanda and I picking black ones but I had all black while she had a purple one too. She ended up getting the purple one, it looks nice on her, and I ended up getting the black one I tried on last. I hate that it shows off my arms, but it was a comfortable fit. It's rather long, it has frills and layers at the bottom, a tie around back, and laces for sleeves. I ended up also having to get jewelry and got this Victoria-Gothic-like necklace with long silver earrings, and while Amanda left with mom somewhere I received $40 to spend at Hot Topic. I had a hard enough time realizing my arms were going to be shown, so I didn't need my legs too, so I ended up getting black and white striped stockings. I also got new arm warmers, small hand fishnets, and a pair of kitty ears. (I couldn't help myself)
Afterwards we had lunch at Subway and went next door to Hair Cuttery by Walmart. Amanda's hair always looks so fried or dead, so she got a trim, a wash, and blow dry that made it come back to life. Heh, as for me, I have decided to be daring and dye my whole head black with red streaks that are hardly noticable. I love how it turned out, but then again before she spiked it all out it scared me how much I could pass off as Shuichi. xD
Amanda was dropped off at her driving test, and we went back home, I got online until she got back. She passed, just barely, and Craig ended up taking me to Izzy's to check on Zero. I was in such a rush I spilled some of his food, but that wouldn't have happened if he didn't circle me so much. @.@ Hmm, well I got ready once I got back. Slipping the dress and stockings on, my combat boots held me a few inches taller, and after getting my necklace, earrings, and fishnets on I headed to the bathroom. I redid eyeliner and mom made such a fit with me I at least let her put eyeshadow on me. Bleh, I hate being so feminine. >,<
I have to admit to some vanity, I looked like a freak, but a cool freak once I was done... and I couldn't wait to see everyones' expressions. Once getting there I met up with Tabi and her date Shelby, we talked some and then headed inside. (Poor Eric didn't have dress shoes on so they didn't let him in) Once getting in I noticed a few familiar faces, Shuichi included, and they all huddled together once I got past the ticket checking. The friends that were there said I looked "pretty" and whatnot, Shuichi just kind of gave me a weird expression but he was laughing at the fact I actually was here... wearing a dress no less. xp
Heh heh.... once I got in nothing much changed. People I knew or didn't even know that well came up just to scream "OMG!" in my face at my get up, some even going beyond pretty into "gorgeous" and whatnot, but I just rolled my eyes and turned away. LIES. rolleyes During the time I was seperated from Shuichi I attempted dancing with Amanda, failing out of low confidence and embarrassment, but I had an okay time. Well except for when some girl from Journalism ended up taking our picture.... I might be in the ******** newspaper! gonk .... Or worse... the yearbook! O_O *faints*
Meh... well after a while when I met up with Shuichi again, heh, actually he came out of nowhere and jumped on my back... but still. xd I hung out with him, Anne, and Chase at the tables for a while (the punch tastes like cheap alcohol!) and Anne sort of started something... really weird between us. She ended it by kissing Chase saying "Beat that!" and I sunk into the chair, eh, actually Shuichi's lap.
Mmkay then, I attempted dancing again later with Shuichi, spinning him which was pretty funny, but he stalked off after my friend who was trying to get a picture told him he was being overprotective by following me all over. I didn't blame him, he didn't really know where to go and was probably bored, but the fact that he didn't come back after a while had me uneasy. I wouldn't call it moshing exactly, but the one song that came on around then by Smashing Pumpkins had everyone out of control. If it wasn't for this one group of idiots who started wrestling then they wouldn't of changed the song. stressed
After going out to find Shuichi I ended up hanging out with him, Anne, and Chase the rest of the night, sitting by some old friends... Danielle included. >,< (she was one of my old crushes from last year)
I guess the dance went okay, had an amusing time, but right now I'm struggling to keep my eyes open and things are getting blurry. O.o;
Night.
