 The Winter Formal, Part 2

We were all having a blast before we knew it. Wine was poured out, laughter bounced around the room, and the impending threat of finals was – for the night – left back at our dorm rooms. It was a nice change to see everyone dressed up and amidst the formality of the event, there was definitely a pervading sense of ease. 

“I would like to propose a toast…”

I raised my glass and started roasting my friends. It was in good spirit, maybe a bit acerbic, but never hurtful. We laughed, we clinked glasses, we cracked jokes. It was nice to just relax, to just enjoy each other. The evening was off to a great start.

Just got home two hours ago. Don’t you judge me, tumblr.

Posts coming soon. I promise.

Last night was an adventure.

Seriously, take me back. Maybe I would be less jaded about the whole notion of courtship. Sometimes I just wish things were left more to mystery.

My Simian Mobile Disco phase coincided with me coming to terms with my sexuality. So, naturally, when I found this video, my theories were confirmed. (Not to mention I totally set to plotting how to get this to happen.) And, while I’m totally nostalgic, I can only imagine the sleazy conversation, probably over some pizza and beer, that went on when they were writing the treatment.

“So, okay, it’s a bunch of girls at a party. And they’re sitting in a circle and they are playing telephone. And then…they all just start makin’ out, man.”

Which is fine by me, but apparently this is the UK version. The US version has a bunch of models on pedestals eating junk food and luxury items and then vomiting until their faces get all disfigured. Social commentary aside, why the hell did my country pass up girls making out at a party for a really creepy video with ralphing models?

Oh, America. You don’t make a lick of sense.

With all the troubles of finals behind me, this gal’s heading out to make her own trouble.

After a week that seemed to drag on forever, I’m getting ready to head out for what will surely be quite the evening with my bestie. Although I do generally take pride in my appearance, it feels good to set some real time aside to primp. I get damn girly when I’m given some time.
