True colors

Add comment May 4th, 2008

It’s the final stretch….

Finally inside from a great day outside, body burnt, feet aching, ready for some decent sleep, i come inside to a log awaited rest. Much to my surprise i got a text. Not just any text though, it was from my prom date, Lisa. She had informed me that what she told me about her dress was completely wrong. Instead of it being baby blue, it was actually a deep blue. “GREAT,” I thought to myself. ” This would be my luck!” I started thinking about the unenthusiastic lady at the tux shop informing of the fine there would be if i messed up and needed a different color! And of course, if anyone, it would’ve been me! So now i have to trek to the mall tomorrow after school, beg the lady to let me change my color and hope all goes well!

 On a lighter note.. less than a week.. and I am insanely excited!

I hope everybody else has enjoyed their prom, or enjoyed just being out!!
