8th Grade Grad Dance:
Moi:
And only half of the things I'm wearing are mine!
The Friends:
Kaitlyn & Alyssa marveling over my dress (rather classy).
Kaitlyn in the pink. All mopey (explanation later). Kayla is the one reaching up, she was begging me to get her an Italian soda.
Sabrina...nothing else to say.

Sierra (in red), dear friend. Bennett...HATE YOU. YOU EVIL...GET OUT OF THE PICTURE ON MY CAMERA! (in green)
Veronica, marveling at the awesomeness of my dress.
Group shots:
No, she's not naked. Her dress is strapless. Kayla is the one behind my fan. and Alyssa is the side of the face that you see.
Half of Kaitlyn, the white is the flash on Kayla's shoulder, Emma is the one in fake tie-dye, and Alyssa on the right.
Yes, Kayla actually licked Alyssa after this was taken. And Kaitlyn is all mopey because of something that Nick did.

Kaitlyn, Sierra, Alyssa.
The Couples:
Alyssa and Snowball (Ben Snow)
Kait and Nick.
Me and Alyssa. She was the only one I trusted myself to dance with. The guys at my school SUCK! Plus Kayla and Kaitlyn wouldn't dance with me :(.
The Depression:
The Culprit:
(from the Mardi Gras Dance)
Nick Laustup. Who we now hate. He...is evil. But not half as bad as Bennett.
The Victim:
(Also from MG Dance)
Kaitlyn E. One of my best friends, so Nick will pay for what he did.
The Set-up:
This goes back to the Mardi Gras dance, so I will be posting from then too.
Stage 1: Alyssa and I giving Kaitlyn re-assurance on her liking Nick. "He's available" or "Go ask him to dance"; stuff like that.
Stage 2: Getting her to just ask him already:
"But I don't know, what if he says no."
"You won't know until you try."
"I still don't know..."
"Just try it."
"But-"
"DO IT!!!"
"NICK. GET OVER HERE!"
"What?"
"Dance with me?"
"Okay."
Stage 3: Plan a success:
And so they danced.
Stage 4: Happy happy joy joy:
Kaitlyn and Alyssa celebrating Kaitlyn's bliss.
Then we all got on with our lives.
And then, after like five months, and numerous things happening within them, the next dance came around, and Kaitlyn went crazy-like.
And then...here it comes.
Stage 5: Nick Dances with Sabrina, and never tells Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn (having watched half of the dance) plays trusting girlfriend and waits for Nick to fess up on the dance. He never does. So Kait gets all depressed and mopey. So here we go.
Stage 6: The set-up then break up
We get Nick to ask Kaitlyn for a dance.
They dance...once. Then we don't hear from him again the whole dance. Later (like half an hour after the dance...an hour at most) Nick shoves his hand into a wall in frustration, thus giving him and excuse to not dance with Kait. Why was he frustrated you ask? He wanted to break up with Kaitlyn, but knew how bad she'd feel, so didn't, and stewed in his own juices for a while, while Kaitlyn sits on the bleachers, knowing just about everything, crying her freakin' eyes out. So, at the end of the dance, She refuses to go near him (he was twelve feet away from us at the snack table), and they break-up before we all get up to my house. While Kaitlyn then agrees to let me burn all pictures of him. :) I love the way that worked out. Burning Ex-Boyfriend pictures is fun.
The After Party:
Because I'm nice...to my friends, I got them all to come up to my house after the dance, where two of them (Kayla and Alyssa) spent most of the weekend.
Past Mid- Night, just got home, now to get all of the crap out of our hair. Oh joy.
Very good picture of Alyssa, never seen it's equal.
Kayla assisting in the clearing of Kaitlyn's hair.
Sabrina wearing my Disturbed sweatshirt.
We have the same camera!
Examining the negatives (it's digital, don't worry.)
Two afternoons later (I got lazy with the camera during the poker game (we played for junk food) And the day before we were all watching movies, so...yeah), when we're all awake and Kaitlyn and Sabrina have gone home already:
Me and Alyssa got bored, so we started playing with my graham crackers.
And when we are bored...it shows.
(far left) Yes...that is a hand doing a peace sign. (left) That is a little guy jumping. No, it is not a hand flipping off the camera. (middle left) This is a hand flipping off the camera. (middle) This is a mushroom. (middle right) Same picture only with Alyssa's hand in the way. She approves this mushroom. (right) A close-up of the little jumping guy. (far right) The middle finger. Alyssa does not approve this hand.
Alyssa approves this message.
After the graham cracker thing, Kayla and Alyssa went outside and played badminton while I sat on the stepstool, watching and eating goldfish. later that day, we drove Alyssa and Kayla home, and I haven't seen Alyssa since. She won't answer the phooooooooooone. But I went to Kayla's the next weekend. Was tortured by Jackie for a while...
More in August when School starts again.
