PROM.

Prom was...well....PROM. It wasn't exactly what I imagined it being, nor what I wished it would be like...but it came pretty damn close.

Pre-prom:
I searched all over Longs Drugs for the perfect red lipstick. And by the time I was done...I had over 20 different tester shades on my left hand. To make room for more colors, the clerk gave me a napkin to wipe it all off. And gradually, all the red came off -- except for the Revlon Colorstay. Then I rubbed harder -- and nothing happened. I went home, and washed it off using soap and water -- nothing happened. I used eye-makeup remover -- nothing happened. And then finally, I whipped out some multi-purpose makeup remover, and it came off. You know those commercials, where the girl bites the apple and nothing happens? That's not fake. Nothing happens. Really. It's psycho.

Erin came over to my house and we painted our nails. HAHAHA. That was so funny. It kept on smearing. I did pretty well -- considering I painted them myself. Erin on the other hand...couldn't even do that. I had to do it for her. And while we were waiting for them to dry, we read random dialogue parts of Catch 22 aloud.

At 4:00, Erin, Kelly, Leonie, Rob, and I checked into the hotel and got changed. Erin's mom is THE makeup consultant. Hehe. Leonie did a wicked cool smokey-eye makeup job on me. Kudos to her.

In the end...I looked like Velma Kelly (CHICAGO). I had really red lipstick with nail polish to match, dark eyes, a bob haircut, a long pearl necklace (which I tied into a knot), a sleek v-neck cut crochet dress, and black strappy sandals. Erin had a peach strapless dress, a diamond tiara and matching necklace and bracelet. Kelly looked like Cinderella -- with a white dress, shoes, shawl, and fan. Leonie...well, let's just say that she went as Mickey Mouse in Fantasia...complete with a glittery red dress, a really cool golden coin purse, and pointy hat with ears. Not to mention...her prom date was a broom. I'm serious! She did.

Prom:
The prom started at 6:30, so we took a few group pictures outside by the pool, and headed up the escalator. The theme for the prom was "Old Hollywood" and lo and behold...there was a Chicago poster (among many posters decorating the area). That made me happy. ^_^ I had no idea that we had a theme, and I'm glad that I sort of fitted in. We arrived in style...and got to walk on the red-carpet that lead to the entrance. Inside, there were two large movie-projector screens that featured a medley of old black and white flicks. What also made me happy was that they played Casablanca.

The music was okay. It wasn't great. It wasn't bad. It was just...well, BLAH. I swear...I should be a DJ. The food was so-so. The table decorations....were okay. I think AoP's prom was nicer, even though it was 5x smaller, it was still nicer.

As far as sitting arrangements went...the basement group pretty much split up into three tables. The Oahuan table, the Outsiders table, and the Central table. (I sat on the outsiders table) It was sort of sad...I think I've realized something though -- about senior year and frendships in general. Nobody really gives a damn anymore, and they're not afraid of showing it. The truth just sort of pops out. Like, if they don't like you....they just say, right out straight -- We don't like you. Would you mind not coming to our after party? Would you mind not riding the limo with us? Would you mind not sitting at our table and holding us a new one instead -- even though we're not actually planning on sitting at it? YEAH. Things like that. Idk. I think at prom -- you realize how many friends you have -- or how little. For me, it was little. But I don't mind. I am who I am, and that's that. Thanks to those who care.

Post-prom:
After prom, we went to Karaoke Room 2 and sung really old and cheezy songs for an hour. The best song -- was "I Will Survive". We all got up, and started dancing. And after that, we got hungry and completely devoured two sampler platters and a plate of Nachos from Denny's. And after THAT, we went back to the room -- and Rob tried to teach us how to play some game where we get to kill Dr. Lucky. It was interesting .Too bad I fell asleep.

The next day, Rob's mom came to the room with a ton of food. And Leonie and I had fun spitting watermelon seeds off of the balcony. Hehe. I hope I didn't hit any tourists. -- Then, a pillow fight ensued...and after that, we watched "The Replacements" and I fell asleep again. I feel so wasted.

After checking out of the hotel, Erin came up to my house to film our third video and we both ended up falling asleep while writing the script. I can't believe how tired I am. My brain doesn't function very well. I'd do my homework...but unforunately, I don't have enough energy. Oh well. This update is finished. I think I'm going to try and work on my math homework...if not, I'm going to pass out trying. Wish me luck.

Keahiwai - "Falling"
I wanna tell you baby
That you're the one I'm thinking of
But your heart is still with her
And I think she's the one that you love
I only want you happy
Even if it's not with me
Maybe one day
You'll open your eyes and you'll see
That I think I'm fallin'
Baby I'm fallin' for you
But I'm not so sure
That you're the one I should pursue
My mind tells me no
But my heart only says that it's you
Only time will tell
The mystery has yet to unfold
Who's gonna feel love's warmth
The other left in the cold
Yet still I'm fallin'

Today, Mr. Pavich put the whole BCP t-shirt ordering on me. That liar....'said he'd take care of it.... Oh well. It took me 3 hours of calculation....and callling numbers. I found some nice places..and thought they would be good...gave them to Pavich....and what does he do? "Um...would you mind getting a quote from these other people too?" *Cries* I have more things on my mind than T-Shirt printing, thank you very much!

On the bright side...I worked at the hospital again today. And it was cool. Not only did I get a meal ticket, but I got to play with a giant mound of shaving cream. Yeah. One of the kids came, dumped it all onto the table, and started making foam castles. My hands smell minty...LOL.

Kerri and I both had Les Miz tickets for tonight...so we decided to have lunch back at the hospital and just hang out. (They have good food!) Then, I met Jeff and we went to see the play. Thanks to Kelly, I got awesome seats...fourth row, on the far right. The play was great. I have so many friends in there. It was nice to see all of them perform.

"My whole life was drug free
except for a 2 second experiment."
-- Mr. Devlin

Pineapple Status:Could be better, could be worse.

Prom: YAY! I think I got a plan now. Major thanks to Kelly.

"Love is insanity. It is the taking over of a rational and intellectual mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight." ---Unknown

Yeah. I'm still here.

Not-So-Random Creative Writing:
I talked for hours to your away message.
And you just listened.
You laughed, amused at my stupid ranting.
Or maybe you didn't.

"You seem like a simple man.
I'd hate to make your life complicated."
-- Lex Luthor (Smallville: Ep. 'Easy View')

Pineapple Status:Hungry

Word:
I said my piece, and I don't regret doing so at all. In fact, I'm rather pleased. It's nice, for once to be completely blatant. If you wanna chat, I'm down with that. If you don't, then I'm just gonna take that as a sign that there's nothing left to be said and you don't want to be bothered (for the moment, that is).

"One word: PLASTICS."
Pineapple Status:Losing Sleep...

It's not me, and I know it. It was never me.
But that doesn't matter at all, now does it?
Nope. Not at all. I think I'll be like this forever.

Prom frustrates the cr*p out of me.
I think I'm screwing the limo AND the after party.

Music:
Simon & Garfunkel - "The Sound of Silence"

I just finished watching 'The Graduate' starring Dennis Hoffman, in Fiction and Film class. That was hillarious. I had no idea that all those Simon & Garfunkel songs were in the movie. Their song, "Mrs. Robinson" has so much more meaning now. I love that line.... "Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson?"

Happy Easter!

Heavy Reading:
To me, you were a walking enigma...full of questions and cryptic messages. I skimmed your pages like a book, stopped in the middle of the first chapter, and put it back on the shelf. Not because it was boring, but because I just couldn't make any sense of it. Two years later, while cleaning...I found that same book, dusted it off, held it to the light, and took it on a trip for some on-flight reading. I couldn't put it down. I still can't. It affected me too much. Reading it changed everything. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING. Looking back, I can't believe how ignorant I was. How could I NOT understand? The answer was there, right in front of my very eyes, and I didn't see it. I feel like shooting myself.

The end is near. I can feel it. And it scares me.

Music: KCi & JoJo - "How Could You"

Easter was interesting. I woke up late, went to brunch at some obscure location in Kaneohe with Uncle Paul and the boys, got my a$$ kicked in Yugioh by Jarrin -- who spent over 200 dollars in the past week on uber cards just to show me up, and went on an easter egg hunt in Uncle Jamie's backyard. The aunties and uncles got together and hid them. Now THAT was an easter egg hunt. It took us 45 minutes to get all of the eggs. What took us so long wasn't the number of eggs, but just finding them...I had to use a pole to get one of them down from the palm tree. My total earnings are 7 eggs, with a total of 7 dollars. Compared to that of Johnny -- who only found two, but got 25 dollars. WTF??? *sigh* It was good fun.

Happy Sweet 16 Kelsie!


*Kalapana Concert Was Awesome.*

Word:
I wish you could've seen it.

LOL! The ppl at the bar thought I was 21. I didn't realize that till after, when I found out what the hand stamps were for. Damn. I shoulda got something. Not that I drink alchoholic beverages, but you know...just because I can...er...'could'.

In the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, Donatello has a fem voice...and Mke isn't Mike, but "Mikey". They made him a wuss! He stopped fighting because of a sprained ankle. I'm sad.

I'm delusional, aren't I? To think that all this means something. Anything. What's the point? Everything's said and done. Tell me, why am I still here--holding onto a lie. That's what it is, isn't it? I can think of nothing else.

Friday Was Good


Pineapple Status: Content.

Word:
I got a haircut today. Now, I look sorta like Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago. Sweet. Also, I managed to finish page 5 of my comic. Hamamoto wants me to finish, so he thinks he's gonna help me by putting a deadline on me. "Rough Draft" he says. Bah! Easier said than done. This weekend is hectic. But, last night was fun. I hung out with Ender and Leonie in Waikiki. We watched Star Search LIVE, and Ender and I polished off a pint of Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate on the pier.

Not-So-Random Creative Writing:
"What the f--k was I thinking?"

Night and Day. Every waking moment. 24/7.
Why? Why me? What did I do to deserve this?
...Nevermind. I know the answer.
I just wish I didn't lose so much sleep over it.
I remember how it started. It was my fault, wasn't it?
Funny how one day can turn your whole world upside down.
Was there a reason? Yes.
Was this part of the plan? No.
Where do I go from here? What can I possibly do?
Someday I'll know.
And then someday, I'll wake up, and say...
WHAT THE F**K WAS I THINKING?!

Cycles suck. Make its stop! Make it stop!

Major Website Updates!


Pineapple Status: Relatively Normal. "I love being single. I'm always there when I need me." --Art Leo

"Love can sweep you off your feet and carry you along in a way you've never known before. But the ride always ends, and you end up feeling lonely and bitter. Wait. It's not love I'm describing. I'm thinking of a monorail." --Jack Handey

"Love is like pi—natural, irrational, and VERY important. " --Lisa Hoffman

"No woman ever falls in love with a man unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves." --Ed Howe

Music: The Calling - "Wherever You Will Go"
If I could, then I would. I'll go wherever you will go.
Way up high, or down low. I'll go wherever you will go.
And maybe, I'll find out a way to make it back someday.
To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days.
If a greater wave shall fall, it'll fall upon us all.
Then I'll hope there's someone out there
Who will bring me back to you.
