prom 2011

that time of the year has once again rolled around. prom. the times when you have to decide who you would like to waste an ample amount of money on and go to a horrible decorated building with. this year, i will be going with Jason. but, like all, i must tell of my previous proms. no, they aren't that interesting, but i would like to recollect how they have been in comparison. 

freshman year

i went with, then boyfriend, corey. it was a nice prom with an okay theme. the theme was masquerade. we had little masks sitting all around the tables and the backdrop was something you would expect from The Masquerade of the Red Death. deep coloured drapes and all. my dress was beautiful. i had purchased it at Dillards and i knew i had to have it time i saw it. why this cheesy and cliche' statement? because Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls was playing when i saw it. it was meant to be. black with white trim. when you picked up the dress, it was actually square shaped. kayla, my cousin and best friend, was shopping with me when we found it. very Helena, very dark, very me. the prom itself was probably better than the year following due to the fact that i had more of my friends going to this prom. the rest graduated that year. music kind of sucked but that's how it is with DJ's at high school proms. i do remember leaving prom and wanting to go anywhere but home. so we tried to go to Wal-Mart. don't judge, i'm from SC. when we get to Wal-Mart, we could tell something was wrong. i get to the door. Wal-Mart was closed. yes. the infamous 24-hour-always-open-no-matter-if-there-is-hurricane-force-winds Wal-Mart was closed. i felt so betrayed. turns out, the Wal-Mart in my town closes at 11. what.the.hell. so corey took me home and that was that.

sophomore year

this year, again, i went with corey who was still my boyfriend. at my school, you cannot buy your own prom ticket until you are a junior. which meant that if you were above the age of 14 and younger than 21 and was not a junior or senior, you better find one who needed a date. well, i wore a blue strapless dress. it had a black sash and was nice with my pasty skin tone. it was a relatively nice prom. quant. but it was a bit lonely since my friends had tapered off in the past year. the music really sucked that year. i think the DJ had Beiber Fever. the prom was themed as 'A Night Under The Stars' and had these big bue and silver sparkly stars everywhere. the decorations were exceptionally better than the previous year. we left prom and he took me home. no midnight bowling. no Waffle House. just home. to do nothing.

so this year is themed 'A Red Carpet Event' and the invitations look like garbage. Jason will be meeting a majority of my friends at this event... looking like James Bond. it's going to be great.
