Feeling Formal


(yes, that is me in the middle) ;o)
Last night, I traveled to K-town for our school's spring formal. I must admit that I had a pretty good time (the girls win once again). We started out the evening by going to the Riverside Tavern to enjoy a nice dinner. I, of course, showed up fashionably late because I had dinner with my mom and some friends right before in Pigeon Forge. I wasn't that hungry either when I got there so I just ordered the New York Cheesecake. I figured it would be brought with everyone's food, but I was wrong. Everyone had been finished for a bit when it was brought out. The waiter apologized, though. What more can I ask? By the way, the fanciest dessert I've had in life. It was beautiful! After dinner, we moved on to Calhoun's (where the dance was being held). I once again show up fashionably late. I was driving by myself since I had to drive from Pigeon Forge. We get to the small parking lot and there are hardly any parking spaces. The rest of them find spots, but I have trouble. I circle around the lot like three or four times, and I didn't see any hope so I just left. I had to park all the way in downtown! The evening just didn't start out right! Well, I finally got to the place and there was hardly anyone there. But we started dancing anyway! I pride myself with the fact that I was the first guy on the dancefloor (*brushing shoulders*). I had a lot of fun, which is much different from my original thoughts on the matter. I had a feeling it would be a lot of like my prom. I would sit on the sidelines while others took part in sexual overtoned dances, which is one of the reasons that I didn't want to go to begin with. It was different, though. Yes, there was some of that but not with the group I was with. I just let my body go and didn't worry about what others thought about me. It so great and hilarious! I had such a great time! For the first time in a while, I didn't think about my problems; I was free! The world was great at that moment, and I enjoyed every minute of it! Sadly, the evening had to end, and it did very quickly too. We went and ate at the local hangout, Perkins. Once I returned to the dorm, though, things went back to normal. Thanks girls for getting me to go (even though I am the "weakest" ;o) )! By the way, I have better photos on the way once I get some from the others.
