Subject | "Winter Formal... again."

Mood |

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 ^^

Well, it's definitely confirmed. I am most definitely running for Key Club President.

I hope that I get elected. In the event that I get elected, I hope that I:
- do not blow up the club
- do not make Thomson hate me
- do not hate Thomson

I think that gets the main points. I really enjoy history class, and it would be a pity to hate my last two months of it. Today was the day where we did final sign ups for the eventuality of if we were running for an officer position... Sarkiss didn't know for sure, so he asked Lucy what would happen if he ran, got elected, and then decided not to do it.

She told him to never, ever get near Thomson again. Bit scary, isn't it?

At any rate, if he's running, it's me and him, but man, there are a TON of people running for the other officer positions. Quite a few O.O; I think there are four or five people running for vice president? And maybe three each for treasurer and secretary.... I guess they all detest the idea of running two meetings plus agendas.

Makes you wonder what I'm doing. Meh.

It was hailing a bit today, did you notice? Either that or they were abnormally large raindrops that stayed in drop formation for a few seconds after hitting the ground. They did melt as soon as they touched down, but it was hail. Yay. I've seen it twice in my life now.

Today was my mother's birthday, and I relished in telling her that she is exactly three times my age.

I need to get my driver's license. Eeeek.

I just bought a twelve pack of blue pens. I hope I like the color blue, because all my essays for the next year are going to be this particular shade.

By the way, have you people seen the AP Review sessions? There is nothing I'd like more than to DIE. I have to attend 34 sessions over the course of March and April. Add to that Key Club Convention, SAT's, running for KC Prez, school projects, and the regular amounts of homework equates to a very unhappy Janice.

I concluded earlier today that no one has as many sessions as me except the Mumbling Fumbling Bozo. How very depressing. I keep going around and showing my review schedule to people, hoping for pats on the head and clucks of sympathy.

I didn't show it to Andrew, because he would point and say, "Haha! Bastard!" and when I showed it to Mike, he did in fact say, "Haha! Pointless."

For the record, I did get a pat on the head from Christina (so perfectly reliable), a "can I have one too" from Stacy, a "ah, ha" from Earl, and some hummmmmms followed up by, "I have those too, nice to die with you."

I have new highlighters to make me feel better. Look, ma! They come in pink, green, orange, and yellow x 3!

I checked out the prices of color photocopies at Office Depot. Holy shit, how did people make color literature last year for over 300 Key Clubbers? (Literature, rather than being enthralling works of written art, is instead those little papers the candidates give you with their name and qualifications plastered all over that generally end up in the trash can.) It costs nearly a DOLLAR per ONE FREAKING COPY. Fitting four to a page means that the recommended amount of copies (90 for 360 copies of literature) means a little less than NINETY DOLLARS. No way did all the officers spend that much on copies, damn it. I think my father thought I was nuts... he said something about not going over $30. I was more than a little disturbed by the prices... meeh. Not to mention I still need a platform. Ah, well, at least I only need a one minute speech.. I think the officers at District Convention need a five minute speech AND a two minute speech. I remember them speaking (and some of them babbling with glassy eyes) for quite some time.. oh, and a few of them got cut off because they didn't time their speeches right.

Jessica, have fun.

I'm reading Hiroshima by John Hersey for my book report. Is it a cop out? A bit, since the thing is less than 170 pages. Do I care? Not particularly, since Grogan never takes into account the difficulty of a book and gave me a freaking 89 on Tender is the Night by freaking FITZGERALD, which I stupidly read in preparation for Gatsby, and which should better be known as Hellfire Lights the Night in terms of the depressing-ness (yay, making up words) of the entire book and my inability to comprehend why this man simply keeps slipping down the loooooong slide to, well, hell. I have to face it: I simply suck at deciphering classic literature. It all stems down to my unwillingness to always just sit down and think about it; whenever I play Zelda, I lose all desire to find the last heart pieces and charts or whatever myself and revert to a player's guide.

Oh my god, I'm comparing Fitzgerald to a video game. A good video game, but nevertheless.

Time to sleep. Whee.
