Prom Night @ MindSay

     Hi there. So I've been thinking that I really need to find a prom date. I talked to boyfriend about it the other day. I said "So, prom is in a month," and he says "And then?" What the hell kind of question is that?? This was via text messaging so I have no clue what he was trying to say but it was super weird... Now I guess I have to bring it up again but I think it will be awkward. Oh well, moving on. I've also been thinking of ways to tap into boyfriends emotions. We dated two years ago ( I don't know if I've mentioned that before) and we used to talk ALL the time... Now it seems like we rarely have a conversation longer than two minutes. We literally used to spend all night on the phone together and now we go days without speaking... It kind of upsets me because I miss knowing him so well. After we broke up we lost touch and I think he's changed considerably I just wish that he would open up to me. Any ideas? Please send 'em my way.

Here we have two very similar trailers for two seemingly similar movies:



PROM NIGHT, the remake of the 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis slasher classic, starts out like a lat 90's-early 00's teen movie with the kids getting for and then going to their prom. Then things take a turn for the macabre when some lunatic starts bumping off the photogenic teen revelers in order to get some alone time with our blonde heroine.

Next up is ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE wherein out gaggle of horned up teens throw a weekend kegger at a remote ranch. Things start out like any Freddi Prinze movie from 8 or 9 years ago but then all hell breaks loose and some wackjob starts bumping off the photogenic teen revelers in order to get some alone time with our blonde heroine.

So what we have here is pretty much the same movie, right? Right!

Then why does the trailer for MANDY LANE get me all geeked to see the movie while PROM NIGHT's trailer bores me to tears?

Maybe it's because the MANDY LANE trailer just looks cooler. The film is shot grittier and less polished than PROM NIGHT and the murders have a real Tobe Hooper's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE feel to them.

But the kicker is probably how the use of the old 1960's song "Sealed With A Kiss" is used to make the proceedings feel so gotdamn creepy.

Of course my anticipation will most likely be rewarded with a movie going experience that is just as shitty as I assume PROM NIGHT will be but dammit I can't help but get excited by that trailer.

well saturday was prom and i have to say that it really sucked and idk if i want to go next year or not. It turned into so much drama and the thing is that my date even ditched me for other people. I mean i went to have fun with my friends, but apparently they didnt want to have fun with me. Yeah, i was hoping that prom would be the best night ever and that me,stephen, alicia, cory, megan, channing, ashley, wayne, cecily, and Ethan would have a fun time, chill, be silly, and go crazy, but thats not what happened.. Nope, it all turned into drama because someone took a few things wrong and said that i was being immature and that i was impossiable. The thing is that i never really asked for anything from her. i just wanted to have fun with he rnad everyone else too, but apparently it was like she just didnt want to be seen with me cuz we dated, but she said that that wasnt the case, so i'll leave it at that. I dont really care, so i'm just glad that theres only 4 days of school left and i wont have to look at any of these people for like 2 months. Maybe it'll be good that i getl away from them and everything cuz then maybe i can prove myself to everyone that i can be me and change my ways and hopefully my senior prom will be a lot better next year... I told my dad and step-mom bout prom and there deciding weather or not to send me to another school moslty only cuz i asked them too, for next year cuz i'm tired of all the bullshit that goes on with me and all these other people. But idk... ... ... xoxo

Alrighty....so my Senior Prom is right around the corner and I've bought mine and Kyle's tickets...but I have a feeling I'm going to have to fight to get him there. The prom ticket nazi is saying that the oldest age date you can have at prom is 20...but according to the Student Code of Conduct that's a lie. The Student Code of Conduct clearly states and I quote :

 

"All guests must be in at least the ninth grade and NO OLDER THAN TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE. All guests who are not juniors or seniors must submit an application for approval. A charge must be paid once the date has been approved."

 

I have no problem paying for Kyle. It's my prom after all. But I do know that he will be there no matter what. Hell, I'll get him a fake ID that says he's still 20 if I have to. But my boyfriend will be at that damned prom!

So as far as the dress, I thought I found the perfect dress....it's absolutely gorgeous. It's in Camille's and it's this light/baby blue color and it goes all the way down in back but in the front it's cut up to the knees and it does this cool criss cross thing with the straps in the back and they cross perfect in the middle of my shoulder blades. But I mean, reading of the dress code it says no backless dresses....and this dress is backless. Should I listen? Cause no one did last year and you know some people won't this year...right?

 

In other news...I thought about it last night...and as soon as it's possible I'm going to move out. I'm going to get a job, probably with Wal-Mart so that I'll have insurance in case my parents decide to be bitchy about it, and I'm going to get my own place, with roommates, or if Kyle's found a place and he doesn't mind, I'll move in with him. Of course no matter where I go I'm going to help pay rent and have job and all. I'm going to ask my parents to sign the car over to me as an 18th birthday present so that it will be MY car. I'll find scholarships and get grants and loans to pay for college. I'll do what I have to...but I'm tired of not having privacy....I'm tired of having to deal with my brother and my parents, their favoritism and sexist views....and I'm tired of having to do everything for everyone and still it's never enough for them.

 

My dad found out I'm on BC. How much he knows I'm not sure it was a conversation I was too upset to have at the moment. My mom told me that he found out but the way she did it made me snap at her and tell her off about my constitutional right to privacy...even in "their house".

 

Last week I didn't go to soccer because I came home and did dishes and cleaned the floors. I thought I'd be nice and do that for them since everyone is so stressed out right now. Well, I did the dishes twice that week and then I turn around and my mom tell me Friday night as I'm walking out the door with Kyle that I have to do the dishes tomorrow. I'm like okay whatever. Well, I did them and the floors again on Saturday. What does Clayton do? Tries to bring the dog through the effin house after I've cleaned the floors and then throws his nasty dirty shoes on my clean floors to be a little bitch about it. You know what my mom says to him? "Clayton pick those up." And walks out the door to fuckin smoke! YEAH I HOPE MY KIDS HAVE TO DEAL WITH A GRANDPARENT WHO'S GOT LUNG CANCER! NOT! But they probably will the way my parents are going. And they just let Clayton do whatever. With me they're always calling and asking where I'm at, what I'm doing, who I'm with. It's like they have to know every fuckin thing.

 

And I'm just sick of doing everything around here. I feed the animals and play with them. I clean my room, the dishes, the floors, I go to the store when they ask me to. I get good grades and I do all kinds of stuff for them, but do they care? No. That's why I refuse to learn how to do laundry. Cause the moment I do they're gonna expect me to do it. Gawd, they'll probably even want me to cook for them if I learn how to cook. I'm going to have to eventually....probably soon if I'm going to move out when I turn 18, but I'm not going to do that for them when I do learn how. Fuck them. I'm not their fucking servant.

 

The only time I'm ever happy anymore is when I'm out with my friends, including school, or out with Kyle. I mean, when I go and hang out with my friends it's like none of that matters and I'm just able to relax and have a good time and rant about teachers that  completely bite with them. When I'm with Kyle, it's like there is nothing else but that moment. The other night after we went out with Kayla, BJ, Sam, and Erica....we went back to his house and just slept until I had to go home. I've never been so happy to just go to sleep. I loved it. I love just lying next to him. Jake said it was one of those picture perfect moments and if he'd had a camera he'd have taken a picture of us like that. And yesturday we went ice skating and when the Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" came on...he took me out to the middle of the rink and just started dancing with me. Gawd....it was amazing. He's so amazing. I mean, can you see how things like that would make me forget about everything that's wrong and just get lost in him and his voice in my ear singing to me? And we even helped this little kid to ice skate for his first time! We took him around the rink twice and it was just so adorable. Don't worry it wasn't just some random kid, his church had rented out the place...but it was just adorable watching the little kid try to skate and Kyle tryin to teach him. I know he's going to be an amazing dad someday. Hopefully to my kids.... To be honest, if he asked me to marry him right now I would. I know that's a ways off, but right now, I'd say yes...and I don't thnk that's ever gonna change.

after school i went to lunch with dixon to give him the directions for that night he was being a bit werid so i was a bit worried about how the night was going to go. we'll get to that later.  so than i went and got my hair did that took over an hour! but it turned out cute its not what i wanted at first but when i had my dress on and everything it was hot! there were so any people there when i got my hair done kelly was there lisa came all my friends. so then i got outta there went home took a shower with a bag on my head and took care of some shaving than i "cleaned" my room a little, made a cd, did my makeup, than everyone started showing up. it was 530 a bunch of people were still not here same with the limo.  finally everyone showed up..  23 people and their parents in my house it was CRAZY and it was pouring outside and itss 630 and the limo is STILL not there.  prom starts at 7 and we live an hour away so that SUCKED.  kayla was on the phone with the limo company blowing up! it was funny all the parents were like whoa! so arond 7 the limo shows up finally! the ride there was horriable we had some good music but the air vents like sucked it was on hig and we were all sweating  and our dressed were all wrinkles when we got outit was like 830 when we got there we missed an hour and a half when we got there we were all so hungry we ate didnt even talk to any one.  we danced for  a while most of the time we sat at the table talking about how small the dance floor was and how we should leave early! around 10 30 we  decided to round everyone up and leave at 11 so it was prolly 11 15 ish but soo many limos already rolled out it was that bad. so we took home some other people that thought it was gay and left some of our people to take their limo.
