Another Winter Formal has come and gone, and despite the fact that I wore the same dress and stole the same shoes, I had a really good time ^^ a much better time than I had the year before. A lot more friends went this year and people I know went this year... let's see. Chris A., Anna, Kaity, Jessie, Danny, Earl, Angelica, Victor, Nadine, guy with the asian fetish, myself, Spencer, Stacy, and Sarah.
For dinner, I think Anna got off lucky. We had this .. thing. It was supposed to be meat. As Sarah said, it tasted faintly as if it had come out of a can. (She's a bit more violent about it on her blog.) It was preceded by something posing as a salad, and was finished off by a very, very sugary and excessive chocolate cake.
They took our photo ID's as we walked in the door.. Spencer left his driver's license there. ^_^
At any rate, I danced after the dinner with some of the other girls... at one point, the guys had all wimped out and were sitting at the table, dying. We snickered and made comments about their lack of dedication. I do thank Spencer very much for coming with all of us and he said he had a good time, and I sincerely hope he wasn't lying (the expression on his face when the dancing started was priceless).
To my friends who couldn't go (Christina and Jessica in particular): We will all go next year, shall we? :) And I hope the two of you did well at your respective activities (Christina with drama comp, Jessica with conclave).
After Winter Formal, we left (at only 11), and barring some minor accidents which we all make sooner or later, we went to Harry's Diner, ha, where Earl and Stacy had waffles, Sarah a bagel, Spencer chicken fried steak, and I had a sourdough melt. ^.^ It was a fascinating experience, walking in in formal wear (although my psycho friends wanted to pretend we were just from a funeral - right, in PURPLE), though most of the diners tend to ignore you at 1:00 a.m. in the morning. :)
Anyway, too tired to blog for long, but it was a fun dance, and I will go next year ^^
Spoken words: 25 have fallen.
I win.

Reserve next year's ticket for me as well, eh? I had loads of bucket-sized fun.
Posted by Sarah @ 02/15/2004 12:03 PM PST
Bucket-sized? I had more fun than you could fit into a largish building.
And again I apologize for the dancing. I can dance two ways: slow dance, and spazing out for a few seconds. Anything more than that and I'll need my inhaler.
Same here for next year's tickets, please

All the guys were at the table because we refused to dance to songs such as "Whip It" and that Nikki song.
And I think it's agreed that everyone had fun.
Posted by Earl @ 02/15/2004 05:35 PM PST
It's "Mickey", not Nikki, Earl.
Posted by Sarah @ 02/15/2004 07:25 PM PST
Earl, as I recall, you took more pictures than you did dance.
He's referring to the Hey Mickey song? ::laughs head off::
I admit that the Michael Jackson song was a bit off, considering current conditions. Oh well :P

I have scruples. The Butt Song... I just... I'd rather... you know, it's the Butt Song. I-- I-- yeah
Posted by Spencer @ 02/16/2004 02:32 AM PST
Poor Spencer stood, traumatized, a horrified expression on his pale face at the edge of the dance floor during that song. I think he thought if he stepped onto the wood, he'd melt.
Then again, Spencer didn't recognize "I'm Dreaming" by Selena, nor did my friends. T_T; "What, you know the words?" Meh.

Poor Spencer...the song still scars him two days later.
Posted by Sarah @ 02/16/2004 08:29 PM PST
although my psycho friends wanted to pretend we were just from a funeral - right, in PURPLE
That's almost exactly what I said to Spencer when he told me of that plan. (My exact words: "Oh yeah, in a lavender ballgown.")
I'm glad you all had fun! I wish I could've been there. Still, Berkeley was fantastic (though full of liberals).
Posted by Christina @ 02/17/2004 10:27 PM PST
Liberals? In Berkeley? Oh, my! Who would have guessed?
Did they make you join their cult?
Posted by Sarah @ 02/18/2004 05:27 PM PST
Dirty hippies. Getchyer paws off my bread
Posted by Spencer @ 02/18/2004 07:52 PM PST
They take your IDS? I thought they only check IDs. So, at the end of the night you guys just rummage through a stack of them. I had no idea they take Ids away.o_0
Don't mind me...I haven't attended any dances.XP
Glad everyone had fun though.
Posted by Jessica @ 02/19/2004 07:08 AM PST
They took your ID's if you weren't a Burbank High School student. Apparently, they're far more suspicious and should be dealt with only while wearing anti-radiation gloves. Those kids...
Odd moment: I suddenly remembered that photographer guy who was stalking our table, taking pictures while I hoped he would go away. Why was he doing that T_T; (he took about five pictures while Spencer and I were eating SALAD)
Posted by Janice @ 02/19/2004 07:17 AM PST
Wait, wait, it looks like Jessica wins too. Christina might, I can't tell.
Posted by Anderw @ 02/19/2004 07:30 PM PST
Oh my god! That photographer guy took pictures of me while you guys were dancing! I was watching you and all I saw out of the corner of my eye was *FLASH* *FLASH*...then he walks up to me and says: "Beautiful." and walks away.
CREEEEEEPY!!!
Posted by Sarah @ 02/19/2004 08:49 PM PST
Come to think of it, maybe the photographer was taking pictures of Sarah rather than myself or Spencer while we were eating. That would make sense. Entranced by your purity expressed in the cream colored dress, his camera was lured to the vision that was you.
Or something like that. Probably he was hired to take pictures for the yearbook as well (candids) and so he took some of you. :) Hahaha, it's weird that he came up to you and complimented you ^.~ they usually hide.
Posted by Janice @ 02/20/2004 07:25 AM PST
Creepy...
Posted by Sarah @ 02/20/2004 03:52 PM PST
Creeeeeepyyyy
Posted by Spencer @ 02/20/2004 09:48 PM PST
Oh, I'll show you creepy!
Posted by Earl @ 02/21/2004 06:28 PM PST
oh please don't
Posted by Sarah @ 02/21/2004 10:49 PM PST
"No not really, I can't back that up."
Yeah, but Janice can.
Chopsticks, anyone?
Posted by Andrew @ 02/22/2004 08:24 PM PST
I like to just call that disturbing.
And, Andrew, I'm telling you, the scissors (or some type of *spring*loaded device) would be so much more efficient.
Posted by Janice @ 02/23/2004 06:43 AM PST
Spring loaded? How would that wor--
Oh.
Oooooohhhh.
Eew.
Posted by Andrew @ 02/23/2004 10:24 PM PST
My first aid kit is spring loaded for quick access! *ouch*
