Okay, so I haven't really been showing my face on here as much as usual, and part of that has been because of my joining of this great website called the the L.A. Minute. Basically it's about LA sports, but it also talks about anything that's happening in any sport, plus it has a nice little off-topic section for people to post in.
We've been looking for quality posters than will actually put in the time to post on a fairly consistent basis, so as long as you come there, and hell, put a post or two it, that's a great step forward. Right now we have 20 members, and activity is fairly high amonst them, so hopefully, for anyone who actually reads my blogs, will at least try to join and see if you like it. I'll definitely put in a good word for everyone.
Also, I got the DVDs I ordered, and let me tell you; Dexter is an incredible show. Some characters you will love, others you will hate. The story is incredibly captivating, dark, but with a touch of humor, and the plot twists will leave you shocked by the end. I recommend it to anyone, unless blood really grosses you out. I ordered Dexter Season 2 already, and I really can't get enough of this show. Definitely one of my favorites now.
Well, that's all. For those of you who want to join the LA Minute, contributions there are nice, and remember to tell other friends who are interested in sports and whatnot to join. It's definitely worth it.
So yeah, I finally got to level 23. Felt like it took forever! Haha, with that out of the way, I decided to get two things, one that I think will be a keeper forever, the other will at least be entertaining.
First off, I decided to get a nice water bottle, since all the old ones I've had either broke or just aren't very good. I decided to invest a little bit and buy a 32 oz Nalgene water bottle, which is very nice.
Pretty nifty if I say so myself? Plus it has BPA, which basically guarantees my liquids never taste like plastic or anything like that. Hopefully this baby lasts me forever!
My second purchase was Season 1 of a Showtime series I'm very fond of, called Dexter. The plot is basically about this blood splatter scientist that works for the FBI, but has the dark secret of also being a serial killer. Basically he kills those that can't be convicted. Either way it's a pretty awesome show.
So yeah, that's all. First blog in a while.
Like the heading says, this is the prom edition of my blog. After getting our gym prepared since Wednesday, we finished decorating it late Friday so it was ready. I guess a recap of the events would be the best way to do it.
Saturday morning: I guess it was due to being excited, but I woke up at around 8:30 and couldn't fall back asleep, so I got up at nine and just got prepared. Then my best friend called me up and asked if I wanted to go to his house until we got ready for the Prom Court dinner (the court got together and went to eat at a fancy restaurant). So I hung around his house until about four, then we got dressed up and went to pick up some other people, including the girl I was going with, Jessica (she looked really really pretty, and I will post pictures of her, myself, and others ASAP!).
So, we went out to eat, and afterwards we took pictures at the lake just behind the restaurant. So we finished all that at around six or so, so we headed back to my friends' cousin's house, and drove over to the school at around 6:45. Everyone on court worked on the intros we were using before the Coronation that was scheduled at 11. A lot of people showed up, and it was just a lot of fun, even though I'm really not an outgoing person.
After dancing and stuff for like THREE HOURS lol, we finally got ready for the coronation. Our intro was pretty awesome (we went out to Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard, which was hilarious). The king ended up being my best friend and the queen was the girl I went with. So after the dance commerating the new king and queen, just about everyone left. A lot of people including myself went to the afterparty that was at the bowling alley near our school. That was pretty fun as well, though by the end of it everyone was exhausted and it was like 2:30-3:00 in the morning by the time everyone left. Afterwards I went back to my friend's house and stayed there.
So yeah, pretty fun. It was a totally new experience for me, and I really enjoyed it. Actually, looking back, I regret not going to prom the last two years. Anyhoo, I'll post one pic for now!
My friend and I. (I'm on the right)
My date (Jessica) and I (not the best picture, but the only available one for now)
So yeah, it was AWESOME!!!
