Promenade
Gashi soshite aisatsu, everyone, and welcome to Sasori's Rock! (Konnichiwa.) You know, I was going to do a big I've Had This Blog for One Year entry, but A) I missed the mark by a day, and B) I don't feel like it. So instead, you get to hear about my prom! (Woohoo.) Oh, try to be more enthusiastic, will you? It was exciting stuff! (Sure, sure. Go ahead.) Okay. So first, we went to dinner at Clementine's- ("We" being you and your boyfriend Matt, I assume.) -which is a seafood resteraunt, and then we went to the actual prom, which was being held at a local college. They decorated everything in an Arabian Nights theme. (They had a tent over the refreshments stand and everything.) Hai. Oh, and they had a chocolate fountain! I love those things. The music wasn't that great, but we danced anyway. Some of my friends were there, so I got to hang out with them. But that wasn't even the best part! Then there was the afterprom! (You went home first to change, didn't you?) Hmm? Oh, right. I went to Matt's house to meet his mom and we talked downstairs while he changed. It turns out that I already knew her, because she's a librarian in the local library and was part of this Junior Friends thing a few years ago that I was in. (And then you came back here.) Hai, and I got changed, which was great, because prom dresses are cool, but they get uncomfortable after a while. And then we went to the afterprom! It was held at the highschool. They decorated it like a bunch of different countries. The front lobby was London, where they had all kind of stuff going on on a stage, like a rock band and karaoke and a mime. (Mimes are scary.) Oh, hai. I didn't stick around for that one. Anyway, after London was a hallway they decorated like the Autobahn. They had a wax hands booth, but I got there too late to get my hand done. They had Paris in the auxiliary gym, with a cafe and caricature artists and face painting. The other half of the auxiliary gym was Italy, which had a gondola and carnival games and a gelatto stand, which turned out to just be ice cream, but I ate it anyway. Oh, and the regular gym was Greece, with giant inflatable obstacle course stuff, and a climbing wall, and DDR. (And then there was Japan in the band hallway.) That was my favorite! The hotglued cherry blossoms to fake trees and hung kimonos up and put fake sushi on little plates. And there was a koi pond! With goldfish! It was cute. And there was laser tag, a.k.a. Samurai Training, in the band room. And the choir room was China, which had pagodas and fortune cookies and skee ball, which has nothing to do with China, but who cares, because hey, skee ball! (Don't forget Egypt.) Right, Egypt! There was a pyramid in the hallway with a mummy and some treasure in it you walked through to get to the desert, which had palm trees and a tent you could play mancala in. The bathroom had Egyptian factoids all over the walls. And the cafeteria was Monte Carlo, with all kinds of card games. I played blackjack for a while and ended up losing $300 in fake money, but they felt sorry for me and gave me the full amount of tickets I could get for the original amount of money I had. (Tell them about the coffee caddy thing.) Oh, right. At one point, I was talking to my friend David in Paris at the cafe, and he has crutches, so he can't carry stuff while he walks, so I carried his coffee for him while he trekked through Egypt. I was, in effect, David's coffee caddy. (And the prizes.) Hai, they had a huge prize booth set up in Greece where people would put the tickets they won in Monte Carlo and Italy. I had nine tickets and Matt had 23, but neither of us won anything. They had a lot of really expensive stuff like mini-fridges, microwaves, mp3 players, flash memory, and sonic toothbrushes. (Lots of good going-away-to-college stuff.) Hai. Anyway, we ended up driving David and his brother Joe home. Joe was talking in a variety of strange voices all the way to their house. They're nice guys, but kind of weird. so we dropped them off and Matt brought me home at around 5:45 a.m. (That's a long prom.) Hai, it sure was. Mom woke up to get ready for work and we talked for a while, but then I went to sleep. My dog woke me up at 2:45 p.m. by standing on me. She didn't need to go out or anything; she just felt that I had slept enough, apparently. I have weird pets. But anyway, I had a really fantastic time. (Hai, I'm sure you did.) All right, Takusan, why are you so grouchy today? (Well, I don't know...I guess it's just that I never got to go to my prom at Muse Academy.) Aww, really? Why not? (*mutter mutter*) Come again? (...*sigh* I said "I couldn't find a date.") ...I really wish I could make fun of you for that for about another paragraph, but we shuld probably go. (Hai, well don't forget I had Amarini before you had Matt!) I said we have to go. See you next time at Sasori's Rock, folks! (Sayonara!)
Aikou kara Sasori! (I wonder if Amarini ever went to the prom...I could call her...) Not on my phone.
THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND
- How the Wicked Witch of the West bathed.
- What they plant in order to grow seedless grapes.
