Formal Photos - and Farewell!
Oct. 7th, 2006 02:55 pmRight, I'm off to queensland in about four hours, so I'll leave you guys with the promised photos and rambling, and I'll answer any comments that need answering in a weeks time.
When you think about it, the formal itself wasn't the sort of event that would be fun. I mean a few hours on a boat in the company of boys we don't know and their skanky dates while listening to shitty music is not your normal idea of a good time. I think the real point is the dresses. This one night of the year we all dress up and totter around on ridiculously high heels going OH MY GOD SHIRLEY THAT'S SUCH A PRETTY DRESS I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH YOUR HAIR. When I first got there Samira said "I feel so... pretty!" in such a surprised tone that we all laughed, but she's right. It's a confidence booster. When you're feeling low and you're overwhelmed and you secretly suspect that nobody actually likes you, you can sit down and remember that this one night you were a princess.
