Dance-Overall very bitter experience.

Part I: The preparations
Tiffany and I left the battle of the bands early to help decorate. We didn't really do anything because Russ and Mr. Tobin were in some sort of meeting. So for about 5 minutes we were just hanging out, then Russ showed us bags and bags of balloons. Balloons that we had to blow up...ourselves. I couldn't tie the balloons so I was stuck blowing them and I got not really light headed, but I got a headache afterwards and for the rest of the time (till 5:45) I felt like crap....Decorating wasn't so bad tho...

Part II: The party
I got there at 9 when my shift started where I had to pay $3 to get in. to work. Right of the bat I didn't want to be there. My shift was from 9-10, but I knew I was going to work until the end because I had no plans to dance and I had to say until the end because I had to pick up everyone else's christmas lights. I guess I could have gotten there early but I'm still pissed off that I had to pay to work when I didn't sign up he "pulled random names." sure. We didn't even get to go inside the gym, we were outside in the hallway by the weight room and girls locker room.
When I got there, Jackie was there for the first 20 minutes then she left to go dance and Mia and Genny took over, they were fun but at 10 they left. The very stupid people at Safeway Select decided to have some contest advertised on ever frickin half of the can. Which means every half of the can looks the same, when they're in a ice chest under water and ice they all look blue. When some one wanted a specific flavor we had to dig through the whole flipping chest to find what they wanted. After 30 seconds in a chest your hands get extremely cold and numb, the fun part is when they start to thaw and the feel swollen. People came in large groups so we'd be scrambling for about 10 mins and then next 15 I'm just standing there. Daniel came for about a total of 10 minutes and then I was by myself. Good thing I stayed because the person that was suppose to work was suppose to find a replacement because he didn't want to work but his replacement never showed up anyways. During a frenzy, we ran out of quarters and all we had were bills, (sno cones and sodas were $.50 water was $1.00) hecka people didn't have quarters and neither did we. I was rushing to get orders filled; get sodas out of the ice chest and pour syrup on the ice (side note: cherry syrup stains even my hand...don't even try it Al) and this one dude gave me a dollar right when I figured out we didn't have any more quarters. I was extremely stressed and I didn't know what to do, I couldn't leave to get change or nothing, so he very kindly asked if I could remember his face and if he could come back later to get something. (He had a cute face not all too forgetable plus he had an eyebrow ring, that's pretty defining) I said sure, he was very nice about it. Definently the highlight of my night. So until 11:45, I was dealing with stupid people and no one else to help me. After Daniel left, Ms. Campfield helped me tho which was good because I would have killed Daniel if I was there by myself. The nice guy finally came back to get another sno cone, and I was like yay! (not outloud, I'm not a psycho.) and I think he goes to this school, I dunno he was with Chrissy (the blond that goes out with Josh) well He said thanks and some other stuff. :) Oh yeah and there was a fight right in front of me. It's pretty intense...They were definanly swinging, and aparently there was on there right before I got there because there were police cars and someone was getting arrested.

Part III: the after party
I said I had to stay late to get everyone's christmas lights, so I did. The bar was a mess, it was so watery because of all the water that slowly spilled out as I was pulling out the sodas and waters and was really sticky from all the syrup. We only had napkins and no towels which was a serious pain in the ass. It was just a big mess. and Daniel came back for the clean which was really nice. I finally found all of my stuff and called to get a ride home. I called twice and no one answered not even after I left a message, it was seriously scary at night at school, it was pretty dark and there were some fights already and probably some psychos...I didn't want to be left at school, but I went out into the parking lot and thank goodness my dad was already waiting for me.
