Best weekend, Part 2~!!!!!! With surprise picture!!!

So after the pile of pictures each parent wanted, I faced my first challenge. Getting into the truck that would take us to the park without my dress riding up. And the truck was sufficiently tall! So we went to the park (passing another prom party) and headed to the park. Nothing was there but after turning the truck around, our transportation arrived! And it was: A short bus! (Hey, it was cheap). So our whole group showed up and more pictures were taken (as everybody tried to smile with the sun in their eyes). And more pictures in front of the bus!
We all filed is (nearly died as the heat started getting to us) and headed off to get our dinner. Jack in the box! Nothing says prom as a short bus pulling into a fast food place and a bunch of people in dresses and tux's getting out for dinner. I think we caught quite a few looks and, of course, a few well wishes.
The highlight of dinner was Ash's boyfriend, Kimm, ordering a bacon milkshake (and it wasn't even on the menu). I filmed his first taste along with Ash's and Matt's (Em's boyfriend).
Before I go any further, Let me list all the people we had on the trip. Spain and Squirrel (both didn't have male dates), Em and Matt, Ash and Kimm, and myself and Ishy.
We loaded back on the bus (with Kimm being OCD about the time), and hunkered down for the not so long trip. My feet started hurting already so I spent some time fixing them so it's a little less painful. We finally arrived and waited in the line with other friends since it wasn't time yet (we had arrived about 10 minutes early, take that Kimm!). 
The gate opened and we had to walk even further up the hill to the table to get our ticket checked. We finally got the first view of the area. It was completely outside, with a covered area for the dancing, a area that served Italian sodas, and a coat check-in area. After noting that I was one of about 28 people that actually brought a mask (Spain left her's on the bus), I checked mine in with my bag. So Ishy, myself, and Squirrel stood around for a bit looking for people we knew, as Ishy already used the free ticket for his Italian Soda. It was pretty good too! Of course, once I saw the chocolate fondue machine, Squirrel and I spent some time there before it got crowded and before the cream puffs disappeared.
So we mostly danced with all of us dancing and hanging out outside when it got too hot under the tent. When it got time to leave thought, was the best part. We had all piled back into the bus when Kimm decided it would to great if we all opened the windows and chanted out "Our ride is better than your ride~". We did it for about two minutes then got bored. So we started singing Disney songs. After the first round of "I'll Make A Man Out Of You", I started filming, but everyone just kept messing up, so we gave up and instead I recorded Spain singing "I Wanna Be Like You" from Jungle Book. We made it back to the park and since it was close to my house, Squirrel, Ishy, and I started walking to my house. It was midnight and my feet were KILLING me!!!!!
But I think the whole night was completely and utterly worth it! It also made me kinda sad since it meant Spain and Mary are graduating, one heading to Switzerland!
But here is that picture I promised ya!
I've been saying for a while that I'll reveal myself for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it.
So here it is, the picture of our group in front of the short bus we were so proud of.

All of us (not in order of picture): Ash,  Em, Ishy, Kimm, Matt, Spain, Squirrel,  and Usagi (me!).
You could most likely guess which one is me by hairstyle and the description of the dress from
earlier.

You could think of it as a birthday present, since it's my birthday tomorrow!! Happy Birthday to me and ciao for now!!

Best Weekend Ever!!!!!! With Lots of Pictures!!!

I've been really getting behind with posts and there is a very good reason for that. Last Saturday, two days ago, was my Prom!!!!! So basically, Friday and all of Saturday was devoted to getting me ready (which is no small task with only a few bucks to spend and everything).
Friday, was spent on planning out the last details was our transportation since there was a lack of communication somewhere in the whole mess that was planning. So after missing my bus, I found Freshman, who had promised to do my hair. But she had forgotten her cutting scissors. So after promising to come around 12:30 to one, I went to go buy my mask (it was supposed to be a Masquerade Ball). Found one and spent the rest of the day trying to glue a stick on it (rules said it had to be hand-held. Reason why I couldn't use the one I made earlier).
Saturday, I woke up, realized I had forgotten to get a pair of shoes to match my dress. After washing my hair at noon, I spent the time waiting for Freshman by messaging Shortie and seeing if she had a pair I could borrow. That led to me running the three blocks down to her house with still wet hair to try on the few pairs she found. Then I ran/jogged back with an emergency pair in hand (since they didn't quite match the dress).
I had later found a pair of shoes kinda close to fitting, but at least they were black and closed toed. I had to put a napkin at the toe of each one so I could walk without them falling off.

Freshman finally came at around 3 with her basket of hair products in tow (just as I had finished making my lunch[which didn't burn or boil over!]). She trimmed my mass of hair a few inches and cut my bangs on either side of my face to equal lengths and equal amount of hair. She made me slip into my oh-so-epic-dress and started on the french braid bun idea from Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers). Now we had done a practice run earlier than month in International Club. This was done in ten minutes with only two bobby pins, give her credit.
Now, My hair is really long (as you might be able to see in picture to the right) so it is really a pain in the ass to do anything to it. No other way to put it. So after two failed tries she finally got the bloody thing braided. It had changed from one braid to two french braids becoming one. She took a break from it to curl the bangs. Right before she started, she told me she had never used a curler before...Way to boost my confidence in her. She only barely burnt me twice, which is good for a novice.
Back to the bun we went. After twisting the braid in every which way and curling it around itself, then came the really painful part. Hair Pins. *cue dramatic music* Since it kept unraveling, she started getting angry at the bun. Angry Freshman and bobby pins do not mix. Whenever the pins had to be stuck in the bun to keep it on my head, the pins clawed against my head. It felt like my scalp was being stabbed with a knife or something.
Twenty pins later, it finally held together. I made her use more hairspray on my bun then we used on the curls on the bangs.
Hey look, another picture of me! And ya still can't tell who I am! Or who Freshman is! Haha! (I didn't plan that, I was just turning so she could get the side)
So she left at 5, leaving me little time to do make-up (I was supposed to meet the bus at the park nearby at around 5:20 or so). This left me little time to do any kind of make-up. Thank god I was in a play. Ya learn how to put on make-up really fast. Even though a year had past, I could still do a pretty basic smokey eye with my cheap make-up and mascara (which used to be a pain) was so simple now. I had just gotten on the lipstick and blush when the door bell rang. Ishy was slightly early. Rushing to put the last bits of make-up, I was finally ready with time to spare till Spain arrived.
Part 2 will be out in a few more minutes. Ciao till then!
