SeeD Graduation Ball
Wow...I feel bad for not posting this sooner. But believe it or not, the thing is already over. It happened last Saturday on 27 May, 2006. It was really really fun though! I had an ultra super good time!!

I sound like Selphie...note to self...don't hang around Selphie so much...But that's beside the point, no?

Anyways, I think I should start with the basics. I didn't get my dress made until a week before the Ball, which why I think it cost so much. Almost $300!! Oh well, it was money well spent. It looked really well, it was a black off the shoulder black dress, that hugged the hips a little bit, then flared out at the bottom, with a bit of a train. Squall kept stepping on that, by the way, so we had to keep making sure he walked in front of me. Then it sort of laced up the front with red ribbon. I kept getting compliments on it, though I think it was only out of courtesy.

The day of, I went and got my nails done. I didn't like that so much, but Squall seems to like it, so I went ahead and did it, 'cause I love him so much. ^_^ After than I got his butineer (sp?); just a plain red rose with baby breath and some small touches of greenery. They wanted to know if I wanted two smaller roses instead of just a rose bud, but that looked really tacky. Simplicity is best, I think. I couldn't get the thing onto his jacket though...or at least, i couldn't get the thing on his jacket STRAIGHT...*mutters incoherently about the pins used for the flower thingies*

Long boring story short, we ended up taking a family van to the Ball(You see, the Ball wasn't held in the typical Hall) along with two other couples (Andy and Tina : Alex and whoever her date was)

The Ball itself was definitely better than last year's. I admit, the Gondala ride was nice, but the over all thing sorta wasn't all that good. Anyways, believe it or not, Squall actually pulled me out on the dance floor. Can you imagine it? Squall wanting to dance willingly? Well, he didn't want to dance at first, so I DID have to drag him out there, especially for the two Shakira songs, but, he did warm up to the idea of dancing. It was sort of intersting, actually.

I think he likes dancing, but just doesn't want to admit it. I only think so because he sometimes just randomly starts trying to waltz with me when we're sharing a particularly intimate moment. I would tease him so much about it if he would just fess up to it! ^_^ But that's Squall for you.

Afterwards, Andy, Tina, Squall and I drove around looking for a Karaoke place. Squall actually wanted to go sing Karaoke. Hmm...did somebody spike the drinks? Or was Squall just loosening up? *shrugs* We ended up finding a Taco Stand open at 1 am. How cool is that? I didn't get anything being a vegetarian, but still...A TACO stand at 1 AM. That is just unbelievably cool. We didn't get to do karaoke because none of us are over 21 and all the places open were bars and clubs, so we just drove back to Balamb, but first trying to see if a small seaside village thingy was open. It wasn't.

We stopped for pancakes and just food in general around 2:30 am. The look on the waiters face when Andy said we wanted 10 pancakes held nothing but a clueless look. Most of the time while we were driving around, I was really hyper, but like Squall told Andy, I get really hyper then I crash really hard not too long after. So by the time we got food, I was completely ready to go to sleep. ^_^

So after our 2:30 food binge, we just headed back to Tina's house and had a sleep over!! I changed into Tina's clothes and Squall changed into some clothes left over from Tina's family. Then we all cuddled on a big bed in a spare room, and watched Garden State.

Good movie, by the way. It's Squall's favourite, and I'm fond of it myself, though no where near the extent that he is. It leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling that everything will turn out in the end, you know? My favourite part is when she catches his tear in the dixie cup. It just makes me smile. ^_^

We didn't get very far in the movie though, because we all fell asleep, so Tina shut it off. I would kinda cold all night because Andy was sleeping on top of the blanket, so I could get a decent peice to cover myself. That's okay though, it just gave me a really good excuse to cuddle with Squall.

I don't think I would mind waking up next to him all the time. I liked it when we were snuggling and keeping eachother warm. It just felt right...I was sad when he said we had to get up...
