f o r m a l. It was the event that most of us were anticipating, if not looking forward to. I remember on that Friday night, I couldn't get over the fact that THIS WAS THE FORMAL. I AM LIVING IN THE MOMENT. THIS IS IT. Ever since Year 7, the formal seemed like a big deal for me. I was going to bring my best guy friend and we'd have a really fun time together and all my friends will look amazing. I don't know, it just seemed like the perfect night, and I had to wait 3 years for it. I couldn't wait. So while I was daydreaming about my Year 7 noobness, I couldn't help but notice how much things have changed. I guess I have changed too, but i don't really notice, i only notice if people around me have changed. But I'll save that for another long blog post i'll make when i'm procrastinating homework. 

So the Formal was supposed to be a celebration of how far we had come and survived 3 years of being a junior. I can't believe i'm a senior now.... still hasn't stuck in. But on that night while I was walking to where everyone was meeting up, I saw lots of pretty girls with guys walking the same direction. OMG IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO REALISE THAT I KNEW THEM. THEY WERE FROM MY YEAR!! They looked so unrecogniseable... so mature and DIFFERENT!! I have to admit, EVERYONE looked STUNNING on the night. I don't think one person looked "bad". 

I wouldn't go into much detail about my personal experience of the night, but I can say that I had lots of fun with my friends! It was heartwarming for me to see my close friends all dressed up and looking beautiful ! There was one thing I promised myself though. I would NOT regret not bringing a goddamn date. AND I DIDN'T MWAHAHAHAHHA YESSSS MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I have to say though, there were moments where I felt a bit lonely while I was pedoing on other people but that's okay, cos I always feel lonely when it comes to this stuff and i HATE it cos I am a proud feminist and the reality is, i really don't need a guy to 'make me feel special' or whatever they're supposed to make girls feel like. I AM A WOMAN AND I CAN DO EVERYTHING. INCLUDING CONTROLLING MY EMOTIONS AND NOT LETTING A GUY TAKE OVER MY LIFE. Psh, pathetic! 

I think I would have had a much better time if I wasn't so self conscious about the way I looked. I HATE the mirrors in hairdresses. I think i've already mentioned it. I just absolutely hate it. I HATE IT SO MUCH ARHASFOHGSOHGSFDIHGASHGSAHDG ITS SO BIG. IT'S JUST RIGHT IN YOUR FACE. GET OUT OF MY FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I DONT WANT TO LOOK AT YOU, UGLY PIECE OF ****. While I was getting ready, I felt EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE to have someone draw on my face for so long. She was staring at my face (of course, she was putting crap on it) and i just couldn't stand it. After it was done, I didnt' even like it so I freaked out and stuff happened and it got even more smudged. Great. I hated that. I hated getting ready. I think I would've been more satisfied if I turned up with no make up and just shoved my hair in a ponytail. I hated my hair. I liked it 3 days after though, I will upload a picture another time. 

I'm going to stop ranting now.  Here are some pictures from the night:
