Prom

I went to prom this year and it was okay. The only thing that wasn't was probably the music because they played five songs from the same artist within one hour. Music wasn't even fun, nobody was on the dance floor. They only played a couple of group dances where everyone was mostly dancing, but other than that it was annoying. They played a couple slow songs for people but even then they weren't even good. I thought that getting ready for prom was fun because having my hair done, nails done, and doing make up was fun. I did like after prom though, I didn't feel good for a while but then it was okay. I brought the three newest Just Dance for Wii with me because they usually have outdated ones. It was fine, I was mostly playing it with friends but other people played as well. After Prom was fun nonetheless. One thing is this year they didn't have a Photo Booth and I like that from last year. They didn't have bouncy houses, they had some other stuff and but I didn't do any of it. They had pizza and cookies and pop there and that was good. Then it got time to be the raffle and I was so out of it, like I was just staring off to space. Next thing I know, I hear "Morgan Inman" and the people are looking around. I went up there and since I was the first one called, somehow I got lucky that way, I picked the mini fridge so yeah. I have a mini fridge. That was the one thing I wanted most. I Wouldn't want there to be just after prom because you know it is "after" prom and it's fun for you to go to prom and then after prom. Some people just come to after prom which is okay, but I wish they would go to prom as well. Every senior should've went to prom at least to experience it even if they didn't have date. I went with a group of friends. Going with friends is just as fun. 

Spring Break

My favorite day of spring break was the day we left for break, Friday. That was the day after school got out. We left at 6:30 am for Tennessee to stay in the rented cabin. I tried to pull an all nigher Thursday night into Friday by watching tv, but I crashed at three am. I planned on just sleeping on the way there. But after we left, the truck was a little crowded with out stuff. But I slept for probably three of the whole ten or so hour trip. 

Once in TN, we went to Smokey Moutain Knifeworks. That is one of my favorite places to shop at and go. I got some new pins for my purse in what I call the "nerd section". That is where they have collectibles like Star Wars, zombie stuff, Harry Potter, and my favorite, Lord of the Rings. I went strait to the bin with pins and got one for Friends the tv show, two for Star Trek, and two for the Hobbit. It was great. We went to this homestyle smoked/grilled place ran by just one guy and it was so good. It smelled so awesome and it tasted just as awesome. I got a pulled pork sandwhich with the greatest homemade BBQ sauce. 

Once we got to the cabin it looked cozy and relaxing. But first we had to unload all our stuff. Literally the second the last thing was unloaded and brought in, it began to storm and down pour. I love thunderstorms so it was sweet. It was cool to see the lightening flash in the sky through the windows. I got so tired of the snow this winter. 

Later on we all went off to bed and I slept well. 

National Pencil Day

Pencils have been painted yellow ever since the 1890s.  During the 1800s, the best graphite in the world came from China.  American pencil makers wanted a special way to tell people that their pencils contained Chinese graphite.  In China, the color yellow is associated with royalty and respect. American pencil manufacturers began painting their pencils bright yellow to communicate this “regal” feeling and association with China.  European producer Koh-I-Noor was the first to introduce a yellow pencil.  Today, pencils in the United States are painted yellow and what was once “regal” is now simply “common”.


I do not like using the traditional yellow pencil.  It is annoying.  The constant sharpening because the pencil becomes dull, is ridiculous.  But then, somehow it is possible to sharpen it to a point too much because it may break! Then you sharpen it again, oh joy.  What is even worse is that when you are writing with the traditional pencil, the graphite stains your finger and then there is that smudge on the side of your middle finger.  So, therefore, I use mechanical pencils.  No sharpening required, just clicking the pencil for lead to come out.  I don't use pens on a regular basis.
