formal fridays

i have this drawer. it's in my dresser in my room. well, it used to be my room- now it's where velzy and ivy sleep when we are at papa and grandma's. i still have a drawer though. it's filled with good stuff, and when i say good stuff, i mean good stuff. things like: a bun's of steel work out vhs, a fuzzy leopard print photo album, a pair of size 1 volcom capris that i every so often try to squeeze on and can't, a ring some guy gave me in highshool, some jewelry, lots of coins from various asain countries that my grandpa used to bring me when he would come back from business trips, a mini diablo key chain (that velzy is sleeping with tonight {thursday night that is, but it's now friday morning at 1}). i was going through "my drawer" the other day when i came across a bunch of my high school dance pictures- not all of them but most of them. they are awesome and just looking at the pile of them makes me laugh. ah, high school. so, i have decided that the next few weeks worth of friday's are now "formal friday's" each friday dedicated to one magical night of my teens.
i am sort of bummed that my first homecoming dance picture is not around, i will look for it but for the time being we will skip it and move on. moving on, i give you- winter formal 1998.



date: jason tobin (if you are feeling bad about missing out on homecoming, don't. it was the same guy- same porcupine hair. subtle differences- i had a purple dress (that my mom made), french tip nails, bad hair, and i "liked" him).
dress and jewelry: an amazing long black velvet thing with a really high slit. a necklace that my dad gave me- it's gold and has a heart pendant and one side of the heart has a few blue rhinestones (what are those ones called?) that looks like a wave, so i liked it. and i was really pumped on the rad dagger nails- they were really fun to dig into girls on opposing soccer teams that i didn't particularly like.
other magical details: i think i might have "broken up" with him right before the dance and we still went together. yeah, i am pretty sure that is how it went. so that was an awkward evening. this dance was at knott's berry farm and that is all i remember- it must have been awesome cause i remember so many details.

and one of the must do activities at a dance- take a picture with the varsity soccer girls that were there- check out the leg that is being shown- yow!


hope you had a good laugh, i promise things will only get funnier from here on out. be sure to tune in to next weeks formal friday for jr prom. same bat time, same bat channel.
