...ChEeR BaNqUeT -PaRt OnE-...

Man oh man where do I start...

Thursday: you know those kinds of days where everything is just going really good and like its just an all around good day for no specific reason? yeah well that definently was not how thursday was. I was having just a crappy day...the kind where you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and it starts your whole day off bad. Coach Bishop (my evil biology teacher...more commonly known as SaTaN...) yelled at me and addie, yet again for ... oh yeah... NOTHING. Then I took a test in english that didn't go so well because i didnt study for it. I made a worse grade on a Spanish test that we got back in third period and I forgot my lunch money. So I'm in the commons between third and fourth period...let me just start by saying that i hate the commons with everything in my body and that this is the only time of the day that i waste my time being smotherd and pushed around in that suffocating room...so im in the commons and i just randomly started crying and my friend Andres came and like gave me a hug or w/e and I like totally broke down and it was really embarassing. So that day sucked but then my best friend eLiZaBeTh LeE SpRiNg reminded me that there was only 24 hours until banquet and so it got a little better.

(um im thinking that this blog is gonna be really long...sorry)

Friday: I woke up super early to go take a spanish test at 7:45 in the A. M. !! and it went major bad but i was totally foccused on banquet so i didnt really care. Then I went to first and second period counting down the minutes until 12:00 so I could leave with the FaB FoUr...so 12 finally came and we left to go to Envy Nails. There Liz and I got regular pedicures while little miss richos, Lindsey and Taylar got spa pedicures in their own little private room. Then those two got manicures which Liz and I couldnt afford so we walked on down to Quiznos for some lunch and 100% PURE apple juice, right tay? :)
Then we all went to cloud nine so that Lindsey and Taylar could get their hair done...something that Liz and I - once again - could not afford. We ran into Heather, Lindsey Hughes, Julie, and Coach Duke there too... it was kinda funny.
Then with only two hours untill we had to leave we headed back to the midget's CASTLE to finish getting ready. Lindsey did Liz's hair while I did my own which turned out not so great but whatever...then we got dressed and did make-up and jewelry...and after a minor breakdown by the one and only lindsey over her stupid mom and her stupid stepdad and her stupid family and her stupid friend and stupid scott...and after making Brandon and Chris wait in the car outside for about 15 minutes we finally got to leave.
So Liz got some black eyes in the car when Lindz was trying to finish her eye makeup while Chris was driving 80 on the highway to make it on time. We rocked out to some Aaron Carter and freaking amazing 80's music while we drove around DFW airport completely lost.
But we FINALLY made it to the hotel thanks to some awesome driving skills by Christopher, and everyone looked SO gorgeous. We took TONS of pictures until the ceremony finally started. Katie led us into dinner with a lovely prayer and we tried to eat the "food" that the gave us.
Then was awards and speeches. Freshmen Cooley gave a short but sweet little speech about this year together followed by Duke and then Varsity Cooley who barely made it through her speech without breaking down. It was really sweet - Liz cried. So we got our banquet letters from everyone on our squad and a little silver charm necklace of a megaphone. I got the "Belle Award" the tag says... "This award is for the yong lady who is able to look past the outside and see the beauty in everyone." Ironic.
Then we watched the banquet video. It was SOO cute. It was just a slide show of pictures from this year that was set to music. Freshmen songs were "I just wanna dance with somebody...I wanna feel the heat with somebody..." and "Ain't no mountain high enough..." aside from the awesomely embarassing picture of me all by myself - with pig tails and those HUGE like cartoon sunglassed that go like a foot past my head - taken right before camp and im making the stupidest face in the stupidest pose- yeah so aside from that it was really cute and i totally LOVED it.
After that was the dance which was really fun even though my brother and my boyfriend paid by dad 10 bucks to dance crazy in the middle of the daddy-daughter dance which was SO embarassing but kinda funny i have to admit. And then brandon decided HE should embarass me as well so that was super fun...ish. But barring those two things - it was really fun.
On the way home we rocked out to some hardcore spice girls and Chris got in a race with some girl which we won. So then we dropped off Lindz, Tay, and Liz at Brookes house while I fell asleep in the backseat. Then we took brandon home and me a Chris hung out for a while until I made my way back to Brookes house. Just in time for Drew, Tony, and Brian to leave. Tear.
Me and Lindz went to sleep really quickly after that in her guest bedroom only to be woken up SUPER early to go to IHOP. Which rocked my world.

So in conclusion...banquet was UNBELIEVABLE!!! the most fun I've had in so long where I just got to be totally crazy with people that I absolutely love, take some awesome pictures, and help me remember why I liked cheerleading in the first place. Try-outs are next thursday. I think I'll be fine whether or not I make it because either way something good comes out of it. Check that out, Nathan - im being optimistic!
