memory lane

High School and I were never best friends. We didn't have a good relationship and neither of us ever really tried to make it better. There are no hard feelings, thats just how it was. I do sort of regret not pushing myself academically, too much, but I'm making up for that in college, so no worries, okay?!

I figure I graduated with a pretty good GPA, I made amazing friends, I made lots of memories and most importantly, I went to dances. So those three years of my life were successful, in my opinion.

Lately, I've been taking numerous walks down memory lane. I always go back to my high school days. My favorite hs days were the dances. You know what? I miss dances. A lot. I miss the stress of wondering if you're going to get asked, I miss the stress of wondering what boy to ask...and of course I miss that added stress of trying to come up with a clever and original way to ask/answer your date... Ah, love it.

So, just because I want to, I am going to post my dance pictures.

::note:: My biggest high school regret is not taking pictures at every dance. For whatever reason, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Well, I was stupid. It is a big deal. Pictures are better than the dances most the time. So, yes, its true, I don't have pictures of every dance that I went to :(

Kids, learn from my mistakes. ALWAYS take the pictures even if the line is long...you'll thank me later.

& since I was in high school whilst attending these dances, how about with each picture I add one thing I learned. Just for kicks and giggles.

preference with phe
learned: my friend rachelle has a pretty fireplace background for pictures.
last chance with phe
learned: i can't pull off the hat look.
homecoming with stuart
learned: i don't like wearing heels to dances.
sadies with bryant
learned: when you're riding piggy-back on a real tall guy...you are very high up.
morp with colton
leaned: its fun to ask people you don't know to dances.
sweethearts with colton
learned: my right side is NOT my good side.
preference with colton
learned: this is my favorite dance picture.
prom with colton
learned: this dress was a doozy to walk in.
sadies with james
learned: piggy-backs must be the pose you do for sadies.
christmas dance with jake
learned: fake eyelashes are ugly.
morp with jake
learned: that bird behind jake likes his bum.
senior ball with all my friends (not pictured, obviously)
learned: sarah has amazing dresses to borrow.
sweethearts with dave
learned: sometimes my hair decides to really curl and look inches shorter. and also, apparently sometimes i can look slightly chinese. 
preference with tyler
learned: i do NOT like four-fingered hands in the backgrounds of my pictures.
prom with jesse
learned: sometimes people you originally have a bad attitude about can be amazing people.
last chance with brady (last hs dance)
learned: that car is sexier than i pretended to be.

Now how about some group pictures?!

last chance
learned: this group is waaaay to big.
homecoming
learned: i should have laid my toes down.
sadies
learned: this pose was cuter in our heads.
morp
learned: i should have been more observant. i'm the only doofas wearing shoes.
sweethearts
learned: our whole group matched so nicely.
fun fact: on this date, at dinner, an anonymous person paid our entire dinner bill because they admired our modesty and good behavior. (we were there with some other...not-so-good groups...)
preference
learned: colton & i needed to be more creative in this one.
prom
learned: our photographer didn't care that we're so off-centered. & apparently i'm a giant.
sadies
learned: boys are heavy.
christmas dance
learned: you look like a dork when you stand closer to someone else's date rather than your own.
morp
learned: homemade pictures are cute, too.
preference
learned: that dress and that pose do not flatter my figure.
prom
learned: my dates hand is in a funny place & we should have listened to the memo that we weren't smiling.
last chance
learned: the couple with the pink headbands look a lot cooler than the rest of us.
So there you have it. I hope you enjoyed it. If not, I apologize.

Keep smiling!

And remember kids! TAKE DANCE PICTURES, ALWAYS!
