Galileo, Galileo, Figaroe
Assumption junior prom was an amazing time. It totally exceded all expectiations and provived us goofballs with more than enough excitment for one night. For the third straight dance my awesome dancing moves came back to me and I showed everyone what I got. We had a huge group of people representing at the dance. It was sorta ridiculous how many people I knew there and had a blast with the enitire night. So, want to know about the dance? Well, read on for a full review of night.
The night started at 6 o'clock with pictures at Teresa's house. It was three couples: Phil and Teresa, Laura and Andrew, and me and Kathryn. We put on one good photoshoot. Phil and Teresa's piano shoot was a classic. I may have to blow that one up and frame it. Like usual, there were probably way too many pictures taken. When us models were through, we went to Katie's house for dinner. I'm not sure how it was done, but we got 50 people at her house to eat dinner. What a crowd though. Dinner was good, especially since Katie gave me permission to cut in line. The food was delicious and the candy canes were a nice touch, but they can create dangerous swords and are easily catapulted using spoons. hah.
The time had arrived. Everbody had caught the dance fever over the week, and we were ready to get our groove on. We listened to some holiday music on the way to the dance to get us in the mood. We arrived at the dance at 8:45 and probably doubled the amount of people already at the dance. Overall, the DJ was pretty crappy. The girls say he sucks every dance and he never listens to their requests. The first couple of songs included such groups as N*Sync and 98 Degrees. Honestly, who listens to that crap? It got a little better as the night went on but it was pretty shitty throughout. They did play perrenial favorties such as "Shout", "Cotton Eye Joe" and "Wonderful Tonight", though. I guess we traded too much rap from St. X Dances, to to much crap at AHS dances. We overcame and conquered though.
The Grinch tie was a big hit at the dance. So many people told me they thought it was cool. What can I say, I'm just that cool. I'm gonna start wearing that thing year round, everyday of school. My dancing was also a hit. It's undeniable the most beutiful horrible thing in the world. If you saw it, you could only stand there in shock and amazement. I was also pretty popular in the picture department. When you have an awesome tie on coupled with a knack for dancing, I guess everyone wants a picture of you. Kristen and Lisa also made sure to get the "St. X Homecoming" picture again.
Among all the Bodeco performances, group circle dances, and obnoxious loud singing, the best was definently saved for last. What occured next could be one of the most awesome and hilarious things I've ever seen or experienced in my life. The DJ said he was playing the last song, but then he made the mistake of starting a new song. The lights came on but he began to play "Bohemian Raphsody" by Queen and everyone knows the words for that. So picture this. The lights are on, the music is fading out, but we are still singing. So then we get the brilliant idea of getting in a big circle. By this time our group of 60 or so is all that is left in the gym, plus a few others who felt inclined to join us. We are singing the song in a big circle when a teacher tells us we need to leave. So the circle stops and we all run to the middle and finish singing the end of the song. It was a truly amazing site to see. Just what I picturing a group like us doing. The perfect ending to fantastic night.
Wow, just an overall great time. Not one thing to complain about, not even the crappy music. Lots and lots of good friends and jsut as much good dancing. Next dance is Jan 17 guys, better start preparing now.

Friday was an adventure in itself. I witnessed quality basketball at its finest. And cheering for fine basketball was at an even higher level. Phil's team may not be very good, but atleast they have diehard fans who will cheer no matter what the score is. They may have won the game, but we won the more important part: the cheering section. Then we headed to the TB for some an after game shindig. There we had a heated debate cause some people tried to tell me and Kiernan that Abe Lincold was gay. Haha. They couldn't convince us and they are wrong. So there.
That's all. Comment away.
