Prom Recap

Well guys, prom ended up being more fun than I anticipated. I did more dancing than I planned on doing and still got in a good amount of watching. I still am not a huge fan of prom simply because I find it impersonal. I had fun taking part in some impersonal dancing, but I still sort of detest it.

The night was long, but it was fun. There should be at least one picture of me in circulation where I look half way presentable which is all that counts.

I stuck by my guidelines that I outlined before prom and it allowed me to have a great night. I'm home safe and sound which is the most important thing.

I told Ashley and Amanda I didn't have a high for the night, but in reality I did. I had two. The first was having fun dancing with whoever I wanted to. The second was a moment I tried to cement in my mind.

During the senior circle I looked around and stared at the people around me. I took snapshots of them in my head. I'm hoping I won't soon forget these people I call my classmates. There are some I know I couldn't forget if I tried and sadly there are some I'd like to remember that I won't. I wish I could remember everyone but that wouldn't be realistic, and in reality not everyone has proven they're worth remembering.

Maybe that's harsh, but maybe not. I feel that being remembered is something that must be earned. The most memorable individuals of all time were the ones who took action. They were the people who had the initiative to do something great, something worthwhile. Now maybe some people's definition of worthwhile is different than mine, but I'll decide who I think is memorable and who isn't.

I owe Ryan Wiedmann a shout out for living it up last night. The dude lived prom on his own terms, which is, by far, the best way to do it.

Last night was a great night. Looking back I noticed I'm quite the passive dancer. I refused to go out of my way to dance with anyone. Partly because the impersonal feel builds a wall of sorts between myself and those around me. I'm unsure of what exactly I mean, I guess it's just the idea that I don't know if people want to dance with me or not. But thanks to the urging of those around me I managed to do more than enough dancing.

Prom was good, now the next big thing...graduation.

The NP for today is one I've used a lot. But it's a great song, some people's favorite song, and it's a song that makes my leg shake.

NP: She Will Be Loved- Maroon 5
