Song of the Day-Billionaire: Travie McCoy.

Prom

Wow, I've been a little busy this month.
And since we're approaching the month marker since prom i figured i should actually post some pictures.
The night was amazing, it was so much fun. Brandon and I definitely worked our beyonce hips!

This is the classic garter picture, but only 3 of the ladies had a garter so everyone else just pointed...
...but jayde and I didn't want to be in the picture. (i was warming up my hands, it was cold out!)
"Hey guys! Myspace pic!" We were waiting in line for grand march, and were a little bored...



Yes, this would be my best friend Gus.


In all, the night was a success! After Prom was over Jayde, Brandon, and I went to perkins, and had a grand time. Although, we were all pretty much dead. =]


Song of the Day-Hallelujah- Jeff Buckley

It was a good time. =]

Things I have yet to Talk about (Lady Pirates)

Or um, Paul in a dress:

The Lady Pirates of Captain Bree.
That was the musical this year at my school! Before opening night i heard that the play was so going to be so bad, i showed up opening night and it was SO good! Paul was hilarious dressed as a girl so he wouldn't be "thrown overboard" and Luke was good as the "british fleet"and you can't forget Milo, as Fergus.



Song of the Day: Young Forever-Jay Z

Things I have yet to Talk about (Easter)

Really, there's not much to say.
we went to my grandparents place and then we went to minnehaha falls that was the extent of Easter for us. But i just love this picture:


and some of minnehaha falls:

Things I have yet to Talk about (New Orleans)

Well, as this week is dwindling down to the last few hours i finally have time to blog. =]

I realized that I haven't even talked about New Orleans yet! Which was pretty much the trip of my life(so far)! and i'm only writing like a month after it happened!!
Therefore here's what happened:
Monday: Day of Driving, our bus drivers were pretty much some of the coolest ones out there! We also stopped in St. Louis for a short while and had a picnic for dinner there! Which is where this took place:
Tuesday: arrive in New Orleans around 7:00am. Have an hour and a half to "freshen" up(and somehow try to un-stink yourself without taking a shower.) We leave for the Oak Valley Plantation around 8:45. It was a really interesting place, we couldn't take pictures inside, i was a little bummed about that and this plantation wasn't a slave one, i don't think.
I even tried some alligator! Everyone says it tastes like fish(just like everything else, right?) personally i thought it tasted more like fish.

After the Plantation we want on a swamp tour! It was one of the coolest experiences ever! Except for the fact that i was either getting sick or was allergic to something down there because on the way to the tour i was all congested and sneezing like crazy, but anyway on this tour i saw a ton of alligator's and even held one!! =] :
Also on this tour we saw "beavers" (really they're egret's, but there's a reason i call them beaver's).

After the tour we went to this restaurant called Michaul's where we learned how to Cajun Dance!! Which is definitely the best kind of dancing out there!!!
I was definitely rockin' those beyonce hips!
We also went on a "voodoo" tour. it was basically telling us all the "haunted" houses of the french quarter. I probably would've enjoyed myself more if i actually believed in that kind of stuff.

Wednesday: We spent the morning at Xavier University for the jazz band. So basically, i was bored out of my mind.
In the afternoon the jazz band played at Jackson Square, and afterwards we got to spend like 4 hours in the french quarter(which is definitely not enough time!) there was a scavanger hunt that the chaperone's made up. It was pretty fun i suppose. but my favorite was a picture with andrew jackson:

Wednesday night we went on the Steamboat Natchez, it was a pretty fun time! We tried doing some cajun dancing to some jazz music...let's just say that one didn't work out so well...

Thursday: We left for home with a pit-stop in Memphis to see Elvis' house. I'm not a big fan of Elvis, I've never listened to his music so I didn't do much when we were there. I wasn't to interested in it. However I did tour his house where he had this monkey lookin' thing:
And a whole room full of his records!
This is only 1 wall of the room!!!!!

and i was very naughty in the planes:oooooo snap!

And then we made it home by about 9am Friday morning. it was a very short trip, but i had the time of my life!!


Song of the Day: She's Always a Woman- Billy Joel
