Formal '04 4/24/2004
It's 8:10 in the morning right now. My formal isn't for almost another twelve hours. I have no idea why I'm up so early. It's just one of those things, where you're so excited that you just can't sleep. I'm trying not to get too crazy over formal because things always end up disappointing when you expect too much. People may be reading this wondering why I'm so psyched for a silly sorority formal. Well, I never went to prom. My friends in high school were never the nicest people in the world and basically told me that if I didn't have a date, then I couldn't go in the limo with them. They 'forgot' to invite me to the post-prom festivities. So instead, I went to see the opening night of 'Shrek' at the move theater. I dunno, it sounds dumb but I've always wished I had a night like prom; handsome date, gorgeous gown, being surrounded by friends and crazy music...This is just my way of making up for it I guess. I missed out on a lot in high school and while in college, I've always tried to make up for it. This year, I definitely have been.
I talked to Henry last night about our plans for today. He crossed two nights ago, so he's psyched. According to him he looks "mad sexy in his tux." Hehehe...he's too much. He's a cool guy and really fun to be around. We were talking for awhile on AIM. He wanted to know if I was going out, which I wasn't. It's too bad though, I kind of wanted to see him. I wanted to pregame with my friend Heather and go downtown, but at the last minute decided not to since I really am rather poor. I went out to dinner with my friend Erin instead and kept her company while she got her nails done. Looking back, I should've pregamed with Heather. Ah well...
I'm all packed and I attempted to clean my disaster of a car. It snows and rains a lot in Binghamton, so my car is in a constant state of dirtiness.
The plan is for me to get my hair done and then call Henry's room (since he lost his cell phone) so he knows that I'll be picking him up. Christine will be driving us, and her boyfriend to the hotel. Since Christine and Henry both live on campus I'm thinking that I should just stay and hang out with Henry on campus until Christine is ready. Hotel Syracuse is about an hour and a half from here, so it should be a nice lil car ride...I actually love car rides...esp with my friends since they tend to be entertaining.
While I'm sitting here I'm thinking of other things I need to get like liquor and cameras. (I'm all about the drunken pictures). The hotel is no longer offering an open bar since our sorority nationals found out that we were having one. At least the sorority itself isn't being closed down and we're still having formal. The pledges are being questioned, along with the president and pledge masters, but since I don't have any of those positions, I really don't give a damn. Besides, I didn't haze those girls at all.
Anyway...it's now 8:27...it's too early for the liquor store to be open and my hair appt isn't for another four hours...I can't sleep....ahhhh...hope this formal is all I expect it to be...
