Well... Prom was really really fun. I can't begin to describe the emotions I have regarding it, there are happy and sad ones. But a quick description of what went down. I went to a friend's house to meet my date, but it turned out that she wans't there, neither was her friend, and the friend's mother had absolutely no idea what was going on. At any rate, I had a chat with the mother and then found my date and friends. My date and everyone else looked really nice :) Well, we went to Cheesecake Factory in Redondo Beach, and we arrived 1 hour late, partially because of those darned traffic lights, which were sometimes red and *gasp* other times they were green! Okay, well that was an inside joke, but anyways...

Cheesecake Factory was crowded, but the food wasn't too bad. My pasta, "Evelyn's Favorite Pasta" or something like that, wasn't too good. The broccoli was huge and I kept thinking to myself, if this is her favorite pasta, whats her least favorite? Ugh, bad thoughts. I shelled out $40 bucks for dinner there and someone else also paid another $20 and somehow we ended up short money on the bill still... long story, I don't understand it still, but oh well, it wasn't my money. We then went to Long Beach Aquarium for prom. Let me say this now, this place was niiiiice. I only have one problem with the site... well two actually, but they were mostly stupid complaints. One was the fact that I never saw the magician that was supposedly there, and there were no poker tables. Yes, yes, I realize that I shouldn't complain since prom is more about dancing and friends... but... but... POKER! :) The site was really nice, like I said, lots of stuff to do, and the whole experience was just lots of fun. I made a buttload of money gambling, thanks to the dice rolling of a certain person, who I'll be going to Vegas with in the future hopefully :).

Afterwards it was pretty calm, just some eating, some chatting, and some giggling over some weird things going on with a certain person who fell asleep, ask me if you really want to know... it was really really weird, I can't wait for my pictures to get developed. These seem to be all happy thoughts, no? Yes, they are. But thats exactly what's sad about it. I will never be able to go back to Prom! Never again! Well unless someone asks me when I'm in college I suppose, but other than that scenario, I won't ever be going back to prom! I suppose thats a good thing for some since it means that they're leaving high school. But this is all back to the whole I'm not ready to leave yet thing and I won't get into that right now, again. More later, have a nice day.

PROM IS TOMORROW! AHHHHH! Here's some pictures of the site. I need sleep, I'll write tomorrow, maybe before prom :)

Blondie - One Way or Another

Argh, I'm getting lazy and not updating, but at least I have stuff to say :). Well last night I was watching Leno and you know who was on? Aaron Carter. Now prior to this episode of the Tonight Show I'd never seen or heard the younger version of BSB Nick Carter. Now I'm secure enough in my masculinity to admit that I somewhat enjoy this whole "Teenie-Bopper" music thing. Despite the fact that a good majority of these stars and boy bands are manufactured stars, I'm quite sure that they do possess some assemblance of talent. Both *NSync and BSB can sing and for the most part, they can dance, so I won't knock their act. And then of course there's Britney Spears and her kind. Well.. what can I say? She's Britney Spears. She makes me want to drink Pepsi!

But anyways, I digress, back to Aaron Carter, I only caught maybe the last 2 minutes of his song and I won't be blunt about it, it was perhaps the worst "music" I've ever heard, and accompanied with that dance... It shouldn't even exist on the face of this earth. First of all, this man, no wait, this boy, this 13 year old boy is accompanied by dancers, both male and female, who look like they are 17, 18 years old and forced to act like they are 13. But I figure, thats okay, they probably couldn't find some 13 year old dancers to accompany Aaron. But then I hear the lyrics that he is singing. His song is about a dream in which he does these crazy things, most notably "packing Shaq" if I remember the exact line. Now this boy, he dresses and attmepts to sing as though he's rapping/singing and tries to act as black as possible. His dancers were even black too if I remember correcetly. At any rate, when he finished up his song he sat down with Jay Leno and started talking, and do you know how he talked? BLACK! Yes, I realize that I'm stereotyping, but it is a widely accepted fact that each culture and nationality has certain distinctions about them, and speaking "gangsta" or "black" is a cultural identity of sorts. Aaron Carter spoke with a "gangsta" accent! This white boy, from God know's where, speaks with a "gangsta" accent. What is this? At first I thought perhaps it was only the song that would be crappy and have this whiteboy "gangsta" overtone, and that his producers forced this upon him, but... he talks normally like this too! Bah, oh well, I'm probably just bitter that this less than deserving 13 year old boy gets to act "gangsta" and make money while I get to idle around high school doing a lot of nothing.

But enough about other people, and more about me! I got my tuxedo fitted and what not on Monday from Formal Notice. Its a double breasted tux! I don't know whats this whole anti-double breasted tux thing. Is it the name/description? I don't get it... I think that double breasted tuxedos look just as good if not better than normal tuxes. Also, regarding prom, today at school the juniors decided that since they hadn't sold enough prom bids that Sophmores would be allowed to attend the prom as well... And I must say, I'm definately trying to stay positive about this whole prom thing, but... it just keeps going barreling downhill. First, the prom date is this week, a good 2-3 weeks earlier than usual at least, second, a good majority of seniors wouldn't go, and then I had some personal problems that I won't go into with asking girls, and now this. But I'm still staying positive because its better than being negative about everything.

Well, that was enough writing for one night, I'm off to bed, tomorrow is another day.

Utada Hikaru - Sukiyaki (Live)

Okay, well this is my first post for a few days because I just got back from UCSC and its a fairly nice college. At first I was unsure as to whether or not I'd be willing to go to Santa Cruz because I've grown up in a suburban environment all my life and UCSC is in the middle of a forest. But the tour and "open house" they had convinced me. They have access to San Francisco and what not and while I'm sure I won't go to 'Frisco every week but knowing that I have that option is quite nice. The school itself is in a nice setting, and the people there seem nice at least. But I do have some complaints, although these complaints are hardly reasons not to attend UCSC. First of all, the radio station selection there sucks, at least from what I heard while there, its pretty crappy. Second, the girls that I saw aren't really "lookers" if you catch my drift. In the winter I bet it'll be really freaking cold. And last but not least, as of now, nobody that I know of is going to UCSC.

Anyways, here's something that I came upon in my internet browsing. Its about some people suing the media, and mostly video game makers, for damages regarding Columbine. You know what I say? Give me a freaking break. These people claim that the video game industry needs to regulate itself, and since it can't, they need the government/judicial system to step in and do it for them. They also claim that money isn't the biggest thing here, then WTF is the $5 billion lawsuit for? Why ask for that number? And I also think that these people are crazy because they need to realize that "Guns (or video games in this case) don't kill people. People kill people." They need to stop looking to blame others, and realize that the responsibility should fall on the parents to regulate what their children do, and what games they play, etc. It all comes down to the parenting.

I'm tired, and I've still got to study for a 1984 test in English tomorrow... blah!
