Melanie Lyn: May 2009

On Saturday, May 2nd I went to Carbon High's prom. It was pretty fun. My group was Randy and I, Brett and Brandi, Sydney and Connor, and Jordan and Tiffany. We had so much fun. For out date we just went and played a game and Randy and Brandi's house. We played apples to apples and it was fun/way funny. When we got sick of playing apples to apples, we decided to go to Walmart to play the Find the Item game.

The Find the Item game is where everybody says a description that the item should have and then whoever comes back with the item that best fits the description wins. Since we had a lot of people, we played as dates so that we wouldn't have like five billion descriptions for each thing.

We all went back to the houses to get ready. I got ready at Brandi's house because I didn't want to go all the way back home just to get ready. Brandi did my hair, and I loved it. It took me forever to get ready because we had to figure out sleeves with my scarf for my dress. Thank goodness for safety pins!

After we got ready we went to Sydney's house to eat dinner. We had ham, potato skins, salad, and cheesecake. It was a way yummy dinner. Sydney's parents took a lot of pictures of us after we ate dinner. Taking pictures was very fun.

We went to Brett's house after we were done at Sydney's because Brett's parents wanted to see all of us and take pictures. I seriously thought I was going to go blind from all of the pictures that were taken that night.

When we went to the prom, Randy and I watched the promenade, and then we went and took pictures. I don't know what it is with prom and pictures, but I really didn't want to take any more pictures.

The prom was pretty fun. I'm glad that my group was fun and actually danced the whole time. There was a lot of immodest dress which wasn't too good. I'm not sure that you could call some of those dresses. Brandi and I went up to request some songs and I never wanted to go up in the front again. The front was lap dance central, and it was so loud up there. Other than those few things, the prom was great!

We left the prom early because we were getting tired of dancing, and we really wanted ice cream. When we were leaving, I got this brilliant idea to steal the big arch of balloons just to see how far we could get with it. We took the biggest arch and started going. Everybody was looking at us! When we got to the front door, the security guard was like "did you lose some balloons?" and was thinking "no, you guys lost some balloons." I really thought he was going to get mad at us but he didn't. We weren't expecting to get away with all of them but we did. We stuffed them in the back of the Suburban and we left.

We went to JB's to get all you can eat ice cream. Brandi and I were going to have a contest to see who could eat the most ice cream and everybody else refused. Turns out Brandi and I only ate one cup of ice cream and everybody else ate two or three. It was pretty funny.

After ice cream, we went to Arby's and walked up to the drive thru window and knocked on it. We sang happy birthday to the guy working, just for fun, even though it wasn't his birthday. It was pretty fun. We just went and drove around a little bit and then we went home.

Prom was way fun. I'm glad that I got the chance to go. My group was the best, and they made it so much fun. I'm really glad that I went to Carbon's prom!
