Prom

Prom in America is HUGE but Prom at WOK is just as big

"I've had the time of my life, no I've never felt this way before"

Firstly I think a massive "Well done" to Alice, Alex and their prom committee is in order. I know many were a little apprehensive about our WOK Prom '10 because the school washed their hands clean of it. Seriously, they would have absolutely nothing to do with the whole affair, which is a little disappointing as the night as a whole was incredibly well organised and entertaining (despite the "background music" at the start, yes i am talking Norah Jones and other such wonders my parents would have loved to dance to!

Facebook status' now all reflect the general consensus of the evening, in other words it was amazing. Not a single person I have spoken to has given a bad review of the evening, even the food went down a hit considering the puddings went quicker than the oriental buffet style finger food (I didn't eat much but I can say those cheesy filled potatoes and spring rolls were marvellous)

There are several things the prom has taught me about our year, some of them good, some bad and some are just plain ridiculous

1. WOK girls have the ability to have fun without alcohol (defiantly a good thing)
2. Most girls brought dates with long hair (Not sure if that's good or bad)
3. We cannot dance. I'm very sorry if you think you are a good dancer but that was NOT evident last night
4. Screaming loudly in unison is one of our many combined talents
5. Pudding is always eaten before the savoury stuff. (Seriously I've never seen food go so quickly!)
6. We ALL had sore feet, which implies that our heels were a little bit too much
7. Glee is well loved, as is the Cha Cha Slide and Barbie Girl.
8. Pretty much everybody looked amazing, showing that although we may get told off for how we look at school it doesn't matter because when it comes down to it we are a pretty good looking year group!

There were many other little things that caught my attention but those were the most evident!!

Prom dresses are always a very big worry, I know I was panicking until I found the perfect dress, however I would have loved a proper picture of me in it! Since, alas I have not a single one (Which reminds me if anybody found a camera that isn't theirs can you please contact Meg because she lost hers and it has many photos on it!)

Over all the night couldn't have been better, except maybe if Gemma had been there and if I'd had a proper camera to take photo's on!! (Birthday Hint!)

Sometimes I think back on all the old memories I have and I wonder "Will I still remember this in ten years time?" Well I have a feeling I won't have to do that about Prom because I know those memories will stay with me until the time i get old and end up loosing my memory and eventually dying, unless they find new technology which will make me live forever and never grow older (Yes, I know, wishful thinking!)

So my friends, we now have to wait until the sixth form ball to dress up all together and dance like lunatics, personally I simply cannot wait for that day even if it is two years away :(

So farewell for today, I shall no doubt Blog again in the long dull days after drama when I have nothing more to do than play tetras due to my grounded state at the moment (Feel sorry for me!)

Goodbye!

Summer Time!

Yes my loves, it is nearly summer time!

Two exams and I will be free from the restraints set upon me by my school.

Although I am looking forward to the summer and then sixth form (hopefully) I cannot help but think of all my friends who i won't spend much time with next year. I am under no illusion that i will remain close to everyone next year. My "Subject-Buddy" Alex for instance, we have had pretty much every lesson together this past two years and it will be a miracle if we have any together next year. See what i mean? Harsh isn't it? Well all we can do is hope for the best right? Also spend as much time as possible focusing on our friends at the moment!

"There's something about the sunshine baby, I'm seeing you in a whole new light"

So as many of my friend know I have a summer song every year!! Most newbies ask me what a summer song is when I tell them so quickly here is my definition:

"A summer song is one that reminds you of your ideal summer time and makes you feel happy, sad songs are not aloud. It also helps if the song is cheesy and catchy!"

So last year i had several, because if you listen to the same song over and over again it can get semi boring *yawn*

These are them just so you know:

Live Your Life - T.I. Ft Rihanna

Remedy - Little Boots (Also Mine and Emily's Venice Song)

Don't Trust Me - 3OH!3 (Also A Venice Song)

but this year so far i have only found one song to be my summer song and that is "Something about the sunshine" By Sterling Knight i know it isn't the best song in the world but it makes me feel all happy and summery!! So here is the catch i now want YOU to find me another summer song!! That's right I'm taking suggestions, so if you want to suggest a song to me then send me an e-mail to: rumbled_fish@hotmail.co.uk

"Like a rose I will rot and die,

On the wind you will hear my cry,

An angel of stone I'll be

Just a misplaced memory."

Just before i go and get back to revision i wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all my friends, old and new for always being there for me through ups and downs and being a constant in my life when everything else seemed to rock about a bit. I love you all, those who read my blog know i don't usually talk about my friends and family in a soppy way but sometimes i sit back and think "Do they even know how much i care?" So i thought a small shout out to everyone was in order just to say how wonderful you all are and how i hope you all did amazingly in exams and have an amazing summer!!

much love
