Dorothy's Scattered Thoughts On Prom
"So it was blue and sort of short?"
"Not too short. Medium. And it had this weird sort of fringy stuff on its arms."
"What's that? A demon?"
"A prom dress. That Will was thinking of getting. Can't you ever get your mind out of the Hellmouth?"

Bad Things ~

- not deciding tables earlier
- not taking enough pictures
- not great food at buffet (beef, bread,
and roasted potatoes were good)
- the silly grad made movie featuring different
ways to hurt yourself
- pop was kind of flat
- I didn't have a corsage
Good Things ~
- not having a date
- good music
- comfy shoes (that didn't cut toes, circulation,
or cause other pain)
- no one had the same dress (color or design)
- makeup stayed perfect (one touchup)
- Newlands was pretty (white lights in trees,
iced wolf, helium balloons, gazebo, etc.)
- huge choice of desserts (from fruit tarts,
tiramisu, to strawberry mousse cake)
- nice weather
- not wrecking dress by stepping on the back
too often
- free makeup
- Angela and Marianne got gift certificates

- the hair spray smelled like fruit instead
of chemicals
- I didn't fall down and neither did anyone
else (contrary to reports from previous years)
