Before I forget everything, I might as well write about the dance.
On Friday, we got our class rings during school. Mine's pretty, but a bit loose. I think I'll have to get it resized. It's gold, with a green gemstone, and it has a cross on one side and a rock music logo on the other side. It says "Beth" on the cross side and "2006" on the rock music side. On the inside of the ring, my signature has been engraved into the metal. It's a pretty cool ring, actually.
Friday night was the Sophomore Ring Dance, and it had a Hollywood theme.
I dressed up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's with the long black dress and everything. Someone even pointed me out as Holly Golightly, so I was glad someone realized who I was.
Mom and Dad took pictures of me, then Mom and I picked up Matt, and our moms took pictures of us. Matt got me a pretty corsage of red roses and I wore it on my right wrist.
Matt dressed up all spiffy, and it was good to see him again after not seeing him since this winter. I miss not seeing my good friends from middle school.
Anyway, before I go all nostalgic, back to the dance...
We got there around seven o'clock and checked in. After signing our names on the list, we walked down the red construction paper carpet and looked at the rest of the cheap decorations. Pamela Anderson, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley "life size" cut outs stared at us.
Everyone stood outside of the cafeteria for a few minutes and stared at each other, until I decided to go in with Wendy.
I saw Murray, which was neat. I said hi to him, and I haven't talked to him in over a year (maybe even two?) in real life, so that was cool. I also met his girlfriend, Jo, whom I already kind of knew.
Charlotte brought Ashley with her, and Kelsey brought her metrosexual friend Richard. We had fun with them, and Jenna and I skanked to some of the songs, including Outkast's "Hey Ya!". That is a fun song. ^^
Claire brought her boyfriend Ben (I knew him already), and Matt knew him from school, so they talked. Claire, Becca, Charlotte, and Ashley all danced together and I kind of joined them too. Ed came to the dance with S.A.M. and Jenna brought Meredith. Mary, Corey (Mitchell), Jacey, Emily, Becky, and Laura (among others) danced with us too. It was crazy good fun.
I even danced with Parisa and Michelle and their dates. Well, I was sandwiched in between Parisa and Michelle, who were sandwiched in between their dates. So it was a grinding triple decker. Haha. We danced to "Baby Got Back" (a great classic, and I know most of the words too).
Matt and Wendy had a slow dance, but Matt developed a crush type thing on Jenna. I randomly slow danced with this complete stranger. I found out his name was Scott Skye during the dance (all I knew before I started dancing with him was that he went to THS because I had seen him in the hallways before). it was amusing.
So while everything was mediocre, at the same time, we all had a buttload of fun which I probably won't forget.
I can't think of anything else to write about the dance (I wish I had taken some pictures so I could put them in here) so I'll stop writing about it while I'm ahead. All I can really say was that the Sophomore Ring Dance was a night of good fun.
