Coolness. I think mine seems a bit too much like a Cinderella dress, but I guess I'm generally happy with it. I felt like I was in such a hurry to pick it out.

I'm listening to Raul sing "Hair."

I loved my prom dress. It was black and very sexy and not really a typical prom dress. I was even able to wear it another couple of times after prom

Hah, I'll take a picture and try to get it up later. I'm at my aunt's house, so it might not be possible. But when it is, I'll definitely do it.

Lexi, what color is yours?

I want to have an occasion to wear mine again. Especially after how much it cost!

I'd love to see a photo, Elphie.

Mine is royal blue with silver sparkles. It's really pouffy, too. I have a sleek black dress that I was thinking of wearing, but I figured I may as well take advantage of my opportunity to buy an expensive dress.

That sounds really pretty, Lexi! I want to see a picture of yours.

Re: the expensive part. Exactly. The *only* reason I'm going to prom is so I can wear a pretty, somewhat expensive, dress.

It was black spaghetti strap, a little below the knee. It has this beading trim along the top and at the waist, and in the back the straps crossed.

I feel bad. I just ordered Chinese food, and I asked the guy for thirteen dollars back out of my 20 to include the tip, but he miscounted and gave me fourteen. I didn't realize until I got upstairs, or I would've given him the extra dollar.

Actually, no. I decided to change it up a bit. There's this other place that's much cheaper.

The delivery guy started to leave before I could give him a tip, so I had to stop him. I thought it was kind of sad that he was just anticipating that he wouldn't get a tip.

It's funny, but my prom dress was actually less money (it was around $250 with alterations) than other dresses I've had to get for special occasions like my brother's bar mitzvah or my mom's 50th birthday party. Plus, I got more use out of it than I got out of those dresses.

I'm never quite sure how much to tip delivery guys. It usually ends up being based on what sort of spare change I have :-/

I always tip about 20%. Or I round to the closest even number to get it, especially depending on how many ones I have.

Ever since the first sign of nice spring weather, any desire I had to stay focused on my schoolwork went right out the window. I still have 3 full weeks of classes before finals, and I should really be paying more attention, but I can't bring myself to care and that scares me.

I should just go to sleep, because there's no reason for me to be up. I'm not being productive, and I'm sick of just sitting here. This is what I've been doing all. day. long. I want to like... clean, or go for a walk, or do a puzzle or play a game or something. I need to do something. AAAAH.
