words are just words, and you're just drunk

so yesterday was homecoming. aah it was great! 
the actual dance wasn't as cool as i expected it to be, tbh, but the company was great. =]

so early in the day i went to the mall with my mom for her fashion show. yeah, i know. it was for that store christopher and banks. she's kind of a regular customer and is friends with a bunch of the employees so when they announced that their store was having a little fashion show with customers as models, she was one of the first people they asked. she was really nervous for it but i think she had fun, it was a really nice little confidence boost for her. =]

after that, we picked up taylor and went back home to get ready for the dance. she took a million years curling her hair, but it was okay because she curled mine too. she ended up dropping her necklace down our sink, which was too bad. we've been trying to get it out, but we haven't yet. i think we're calling some plumber guy tomorrow, i know we'll get it out eventually. anyway, she pressured me into calling zach and keegan to ask them if they wanted to meet at pizza hut, which im so glad i did because the night would've been so boring without them. 

we met at pizza hut at 7, and zach was late like he always is. his sister came in and took pictures of us. it took us a long time to get our food and there were a couple kids there that we knew and talked to for a while. at first it was a little awkward because we were in dressy clothes and a new situation and stuff, but once we got our food and started joking around it was a lot of fun. the meal was like forty five bucks, which keegan offered to pay but i was like no way and we all payed for our own share. 

at this point it was like past eight o clock, but we didn't feel like going to the dance yet, so we went to zach's house and hung out for a while. we played pool [i lost horribly to keegan] and a little rock band before his parents kinda kicked us out. they drove us the couple hundred yards to the school in the really snazzy van they have. taylors friend ashley with the fake blue contacts was really upset that we weren't there on time, because apparently she doesn't have any other friends and was standing on the wall by herself for an hour. it took a while for the dance to actually be fun, but once we started dancing it wasn't bad. i didn't wear my glasses and a lot of people noticed. they said i looked nice, which made me really happy. =] zach's completely gorgeous brother aaron [who ended up being the homecoming prince] kinda danced really close to me a few times, which i was totally okay with haha. other than that, grinding is pretty gross, tbh. apparently thats the only way girls know how to dance. i loved watching the guys dance because they have so much fun no matter what they do, but all girls seem to want to do is whore it up with each other. i thought the decorations were pretty lame and the music could have been better, but all in all it was a fun time.

after the dance and hugs goodbye and pictures taken, me, taylor, keegan and zach walked back to zach's house. my heels were sinking into the grass so zach carried me a little. when we got there, we played some more rock band. i completely failed at the singing because i didn't know the song at all, but i completely owned at the bass and the drums. on easy. after that, some of zach's brother's senior friends came over and we went upstairs to play the wii. i did really good at bowling until zach started tickling me. but ahaha i was totally fine with it. my mom came to pick us up at like 12:30 before we finished the game and i was completely retarded and didn't realize that would've been the perfect time to hug zach. but w/e, i still had a lot of fun. taylor borrowed my mom's necklace, my sweatshirt, a clip and a couple other things she forgot to give back to me.

today i slept until like one in the afternoon, and then we went to a concert for the local symphony orchestra because one of my dads friends, who's probably the coolest guy ever, was the featured piano player. it was a very good concert, but it lasted like three hours and it was really hard not to fall asleep. after that we went to our favorite chinese restaurant with this guys family like we do on holidays and special occasions. i texted zach pretty much the whole time, which i need to stop doing because i used a whole lot of minutes that i don't really have. [good thing i bought some more with my bday money or id be in deep shit because im not supposed to text at all and i used more than half my money in a week.] me and zach talked about a lot of things and i guess we're hanging out on halloween. don't worry ashley, you can come too =]

so that was my weekend. i had a really good time. 
im going to go to sleep now so i can wake up so i can have energy tomorrow

lol nettie is short for jeanette or however you spell it and niteal is just niteal. its a very pretty name.

aww good for your mom and being able to do that =] im sure she really did enjoy it.

you sound like you had even more fun than i did. im glad you get to hang out with zach so much. did i mention how i can never spell his name right the first time? i always spell it zac first. haha yeah walking around in public with dressy clothes. did i mention in my story how we went to the mall for a lil while? i dont recall. but we did and everyone was turning heads. i liked the awkwardness of that situation. i also liked it cuz evan was talking about how someone died at life fest. see the irony in that one? i laughed for a long time. it still almost bothers me that i didnt go with you to homecoming. its just a change. *shrugs* stupid lil girlies for not bringing other clothes to change into. i wouldve been obnoxiously uncomfortable for that amount of time in a dress. *shivers* jk i just like me a good tshirt. =]

if i really am invited to zachs house for halloween i really dont want people to dress up cuz i have to fucking idea of what to be. its just not a priority on my mind nowadays.

oh and i was thinking about posting a few pics from homecoming but idk if everyone really needs to see them. maybe i dont care if other people see them. hm...

but we took a lot. maybe it just seemed like a lot. and in most of them my hair looks retarded and my dress looks a lil big on top and my smile looks dumb. urg.
