wow... i haven't posted in a while...

i think this is the longest i've ever gone without posting... well, the longest i've had the ability to post and decided not to...

so, nothing has really happened since i last posted... so i'll just give a summary of last night/ today. plus i don't remember that much from the past 6 days...

SO... the dance last night.

basic summary:

-officially, it's called the Winter Semiformal Dance

-i went over to Rachel's house beforehand to get ready

-Chibi-chan did too

-we arrived 'fashionably late' and after about ten minutes of awkwardly standing around i decided to psychologically artificially inebriate myself and start doing what is my interpretation of 'dancing'

-i dragged the others in and made them cut loose too.

DETAILS:

-tickets were 8 dollars

-i had ticket number 111

-Rachel wore a beautiful minty-lime green strapless dress. it ended just above the knee and had a tie/sash that tied in the back. and pretty silver flats! her hair was gorgeous as always.

-Chibi-chan wore a navy-blue dress that ended about an inch above the knee and had a white neckline and spaghetti straps. she also wore pointy-toe one-inch heels and stockings. her hair was half-up and half-down. i tried to do it but failed so she did it.

-Otaku-chan wore an AWESOME halter-top silvery blue-gray dress. it had beading on the top and she had low silver heels on. her hair was kinda swept-back from her face and really pretty!

-Manga-dealer-chan had a black-and-white patterned dress on with black shoes. her hair was kinda pulled-back with a wave in her bangs.

-i wore a dark green calf-length dress with the shoes that i wore to the homecoming dance (they're black suede with squared-off toes and fake buttons on them. they're also like four inches high and rather uncomfortable). Rachel did my hair all pretty and i actually wore MAKE-UP! it was just brown eyeshadow (Rachel's) and mascara (mine). Chibi-chan did it...

-Rachel's sister went too, and she looked so pretty! she basically looks like a manga character in real life and wore a black-and-white sparkly dress! she's also a little weird... but she's related to Rachel, so i guess that's normal...

-Rachel's family took pictures (two with me in them T.T) and then we left.

-Rachel, Chibi-chan and I met up with Otaku-chan and Manga-dealer-chan at the dance and dropped our stuff off at the coat-check (by the way Rachel, i still have your camera in my purse)

-we went into the cafeteria where the dance actually was, then hung around awkwardly for a few minutes. then, a friend that i know from Tech (we sit on the bus together) came and stole me away from the other 4. my friend is very... outgoing and can actually dance, so eventually i decided to do my attempt at dancing with everyone else.

-there was BREAK DANCING!!! like three guys (two freshmen and one junior) did ACTUAL BREAK DANCING MOVES to like three of the songs. it was epic...

-Otaku-chan and I found a new dance! well, Otaku-chan did it first, but i sped it up... so it was 99% Otaku-chan.

to do it, bring your closed fists about an inch from your chest with your elbows out, and push your fists about 5 or 6 inches away, bringing them back to the starting position.

repeat to the beat of the music.

congratulations! you're doing the Otaku-dance!

yeah... that was about it. the dance ended at 10, and Chibi-chan and I went back to Rachel's house to get our stuff. Chibi-chan's dad picked her up, and i stayed at Rachel's house until about 11 when her dad brought me home.

WAIT! i forgot. i got the weirdest compliment of my life last night. well, aside from Chibi-chan saying that i had slender ankles... but that's a different story.

weird compliment: someone told me that i had nice legs (this was before foot-pain, so i had my insane shoes on). she's in my english class. i smiled awkwardly and replied 'your dress is so pretty!'.

yeah... my life.
