:lol: Yeah a lot of people drop out fast. My last school was like that too, but the one before that was a public school - they had a uniform but it was pretty optional. If you rocked up in other clothes they didn't care, as long as you showed up for the day!
This thread is like the forbidden fruit, I can't stop myself from posting herein because you, you bevy of beauties, have proscribed my participation!
Well, nyah! Here I am.
Here I am no matter how inconsequential my motivations may be
:lol:
The dance course is optional, but most of the students take it. In my year only two girls missed the whole event (and one of them because she broke her leg), and only one of the boys. Actually many boys take the course two times, because there's usually more girls than boys in upper secondary schools, so girls ask younger boys to be their partners. In our year there were three times as much girls as there were boys, so we had almost all the boys from the first year dancing, as well as some of the older boys and a few guys from comprehensive school, a couple of boyfriends from other schools and even a teacher or two dancing with the girls who didn't get a partner from our own year. Some girls also danced with other girls, and some girls sat out a dance or two so that the rest could borrow their partners :DQuote:

Well, we got there and had photos and whatnot, although one girls partner wasn't there because he was going with another group.

Our limo was the 2nd one there, and so we got to see everyone arrive :D
So we ate and had photos etc. This was the dancefloor most of the time:

But we did have a jive competition. The couple on the far right are my partner and one of my besties, because I wasn't able to do that dance, and neither could her partner :)

I had a drink spilt on me, and I was the first to trip over ones own dress. Apart from that, things went pretty well :)
I came to look at sprinksys pictures.... and I feel like ive wandered into a girls bathroom. :lol:
Sprinks, you're gorgeous, and you look like you had a lot of fun!!! :D What a neat ball! I really, really love your dress, it looks so much fun!
Kevin, you ARE in the girls' bathroom. Whole new world, huh? :D
Its all so scary and sudden.
boys, and shopping, and bands, and OH. MY. GOD. SHE. DID. NOT. WEAR. THE. SAME. THING. THAT. I. DID!!!!
LOL
... But wait, I don't think we're in the same girls' bathroom!
Maybe not... I'll leave before I get pepper sprayed.
The last time I was in a girls bathroom (well not really a girls bathroom but in a bathroom with 3 girls) I got stuck judging the makeup they were putting on. I wanted to jump out a window.
:/ That sounds awful. But I bet there was no window, was there?
There was. But they held me back and we all went and played beer pong as irish people. :lol:
:lol: Thanks :D. Last night girls mostly went off to the bathroom to fix each others dresses :lol:. Speaking of which, I really have to take this strapless bra off before it becomes embedded in my skin! (Sorry guys, to turn the conversation all girl-bathroomy again :p:lol:)
:lol: Totally understood, Sprinks! It was actually hair that was the problem at my prom - I had an elegant up-do that I kept messing with. (And now, my hair is short, so no one can ever put me through such torture again!)
I'm staying away from here. Hair and bras. Uhhhhhh....
(Once he leaves, ya'll, we can go back to talking about horses, guitars, and puppies named Magic. Shh.)
NANANANANANA! Im not listening!!!!!
Sprinks, glad you had a good time! Your corsage was beautiful!
Man, a jive competition would have been sweet. Nothing like that at my prom. The most excitement came from the girl who got kicked out because she had a mickey of vodka strapped to her leg under her dress and it fell out haha.
And yes, strapless bras are death:D
Yeah, I felt so lucky that my partner picked such a beautiful corsage for me :).
:lol: we think one girl and guy did manage to bring something in. They were a little off their heads, really really crazy.
yeah the corsage was beautiful. I think for my debs my date got me a pink orchid. It didnt go with my clothes what so ever.
Love the corsage! Both of them :p
We had a break dancing competition for the boys,haha.
I hate going to the grocery store. I haven't been in two weeks and I'm having to get creative at this point. I'm going to try to put it off until Friday. Anyone do their shopping for one month at a time?
I used to, when I lived in Myrtle Beach. Costco was the key, because ... I mean, tourist grocery store lines!? Absolute h*ll. I mean, I generally try to make friends in long lines, but there are some days when all you need is butter and milk and you just want to get out of there and onto the beach.
How is that even possible? Not the hating grocery shopping part, but the shopping just once or twice a month part... I go to grocery shop twice a week, because milk doesn't stay good for longer than a few days, and it's not exactly something you can put in the freezer like you can do with bread. I don't enjoy grocery shopping either, mostly because I hate carrying all the heavy food back home and all the time I can only imagine "ah, again another five kilograms that are just going to get stuck on my waist for ever" :rolleyes:Quote:

yeah, I'm on the 1-2 times a week plan. But I don't have a garden and rely on fruits and veggies from the grocery store.Quote:

It takes me forever. My oldest son is twice as fast as me, however he sometimes leaves out essentials. The last time he went he did not get the cookies because they "were on the other side of the store."
I just returned from Venice and Milan, Italy. 11 days of fun. Expensive but fun.
The espresso coffee there was the best and I found at some cafes it cost 1-1.50 euro (or about 1.20-1.80 in dollars.) Venice is a trip, for sure.:thumbs_up:idea:
today I wore pants that were the smallest I've had on in over five years.

Yes. You asking makes me think you've realized I have bad taste and you wanted to see if I already knew or if you needed to have a little talk with me.

:lol: I was talking entirely about myself.Quote:

I went to the other department store across town and they were out also.:bawling:
At work we have this annual shutdown which requires long hours and is generally pretty stressful. Anyways one sunday while at work I was surfing the net and I found the purse on sale so of course since I shop (and eat) when stressed I ordered it. I got it a few days later but didn't get a chance to play with it until last week (really long hours). I've been carrying it around for about a week and I love it!!:D However, it's purple patent leather and could very easily look like a hooker would own it.:lol:
I have hooker taste!!!
:lol:
yet! its all the fashion these days!
So i got myself a bargin yesterday...a really nice teal green pencil skirt for €8!!
Do hookers carry purses? I wouldn't have thought so. Or at least, I don't think any of the ones I've seen have...Quote:
