Bloody hell, I realized that I haven't made my New Year's resolutions yet. Oh well, better late than never.
1. Be a better son, brother, and friend
2. Preserve the bond with Roaring Tiger
3. Better grades for second semester
4. Find an internship for summer
5. Do not lose focus
Yesterday, I found myself at a high school dance, something I thought I had left behind back in June. It was my high school's Winter Formal, entitled "East of Eden," held at the Hyatt Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach (preview video found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQAkoREAyYE).
Plus:
1. Fabulous date. Although, we only took a disappointing 4 pictures together. We'll have to work on that xD Furthermore, it seemed that she was sorta holding back, as if she was constantly being watched. I suppose I can understand that; it's the price you pay for going to a school as small as Whitney. Pretty much everyone knows you.
2. Beautiful site. The hotel was GORGEOUS. The beach was a plus as well.
Minus:
1. Unfamilar with people. The '09 people I hung out with were really friendly, and I did know them from last year, but it just wasn't quite the same as being around '08 people. I'm sure they knew that too; they saw me as a friend, but not quite like an '09 person. It's this special bond you establish with people in your class, and we didn't quite have that bond.
2. DJ. His mixing skills were really good, I'll give him that. However, his music selection was sorely lacking. I couldn't recognize half the music he was playing, and it sucks when you're dancing to music you can't identify.
3. New setup. This year, dinner was located at the actual site, straying from previous years in which attendees had to make their own plans for dinner. I liked the old setup better; this new setup made the dance feel like a dinner party instead.
Overall, I probably didn't enjoy the dance as much as my date did. But it's okay; I know she really enjoyed herself, and that in itself makes me happy. Sometimes, I just have to look beyond my own wants.

You know, you kinda wrote it as if you didn't really enjoy formal ._.
"Sometimes, I just have to look beyond my own wants."
Way to go, man XD
It's ok. I still love you <3 Hmm... too bad you go back tomorrow.
Oh yeah. And GOOD dancers can dance to whatever music. Kinda wish you didn't quit that dance class, hmm? I forgot what exactly you called it, but for some reason, the word "dirty" comes to mind when I'm relating to that class in my mind. Perhaps you can remind me.
And, ummm. What is "Roaring Tiger"? o.O
really, you liked last years dinner arrangements better?? i remember it took us forever to decide where to eat, and then the limo got lost and we had to walk more, and we realized the boat was actually right next to the restaurant - -' i dunno, i kind of like the idea of not having to worry about where to eat :P
awww memories all flooding back... all your fault! :)
