The Frostline

Let me warn you, this will be a long blog since I haven’t updated it in a long time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, let’s talk about CHS OtakuFest. Surprisingly we got there without getting lost, shayla and I. Sadly, I had to pay to get in. She got in for free because she was a panelist for the Lolita Walk Fashion show thingy. So unfair. Lol. No biggie though. The main part of the whole mini-con was its Artist Alley, there were so many amazing people. She kept going up and down the alley like 500 times; I was satisfied going up and down twice. I didn’t have any money so looking at all the art I couldn’t buy kinda made me tired. We saw a concert, the audio sucked booty. We saw an art battle, that was awesome. While we were watching that, some guy wanted a picture of her because she was in Lolita and there was a otakuquest thing going, it was like a treasure hunt and one of the things you had to find was 4 lolita sitting in a row. He went to find 2 more girls while we waiting. The other Lolita he had found, Olivia, was beautiful. She was just like one of those shy anime girls, except she wasn’t plain. She wore glasses, which just added to the beauty. She would cover her mouth with two hands in a prayer-like manner, she hardly said a word and when she did her voice was music to the ears. Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but she really was amazing. And the way she ran, oh the way she ran could just bring a smile to any persons face. She was so sweet. Anyway, I gave her a handshake and told her “I really wanna ask you more requests but they’re…uh…very perverted,” she laughed and gave me a hug. I asked her if she had a boyfriend, she said yeah, my requests were pointless after that. I’m not sure why I even asked that, I’m an idiot.
--Skip a bunch of junk. So Kelitah finally came and we all set up for the Lolita fashion show. Kelitah was as cute as always, and the participants were cute also. Being surrounded by cute girls kinda makes me sad – I mean, it makes my eyes happy – because *sigh* whatever. I took picture for kelitah and shayla, I screwed up when the girls were walking the “runway” but I took some more to make up for that.
I haven’t talked about everything, but that’s enough of that. One more thing though, Me and shayla are thinking about starting up an artist circle, or should I say line since its only us. It’s called Black colored Rainbow. BCR for short.

Next comes 2010 Milford Mill Academy Prom. I skipped school the day of to finish up my summer job application, wash my hair and style it, find my converses and clean them by hand( and I washed my shoe strings by hand), and the to get my after prom clothes picked out. I made a whole To Do list.
Before we were about to leave, and I was putting my tux on Tanique calls me: “Justin, can you take me home? I’m still at my mom’s job and I still have to get dressed.” I said “Sure, no problem, kid!” I’m kidding, I didn’t say that. I was annoyed, she’s always doing something like this, she’s always late, she did the same thing last year, blah blah blah. I got a headache. Prom was off to a bad start before I even got to see my date. Me and my mom picked her up anyway and drove her home and then tossed her out the car. Then I went to shayla’s house. She was…magnificent, in my eyes at least. We took some pictures, I was awkward because I’m an awkward kid. We left and got tanique, took some more pictures. And then we all went to prom. Btw, tanique was john’s date.
We got to prom in one piece, we had a little stop in the hood on our way there. The way the person who was driving us was insane, he didn’t even wear a seatbelt and he texted while he drove, we all thought we were gonna die. But we made it. We went in, said hi to familiar faces throughout the whole night, checked in, waited in line to take pictures for like an hour or something, finally took pictures and then headed to where the music was booming. Before we could enter, I was stopped by Ms. Reed, evil lady. “Young man, we told everyone they could not wear tennis shoes and here you are wearing…these. We’ve already sent kids home because they did not follow the rules. I’m sorry, but I have to ask you to leave. You look stupid.” Can you believe she said I looked stupid? You’re not supposed to say that to a kid, my feelings were actually hurt. Yay. I didn’t actually leave, I improvised. “These are the only shoes I have,” I said. She replied, “I’m sorry, look around all these other kids are following the rules why couldn’t you?” So I improvised some more, “These are the only shoes I have, I couldn’t buy dress shoes.” “why not?” “Because our family’s financial situation isn’t good right now, the tux was expensive already I didn’t want my mom buying shoes and wasting money with that too.” I won, “Ok, I’ll let you in but one of your senior activities has to be taken away.”
I had really wanted to punch her though, I paid like 300 dollars in order to go to prom and I couldn’t wear the shoes I wanted? Fuck that.
So we made it inside, Tanique and shayla ate. I sat and tried to get into happy mode, it took awhile… Ms. Reed really had gotten to me. I tried to calm myself. I did. After shayla finished eating, we went up to dance, john dragged me up there. I’m not really the dancing type or any type for that matter. I swayed, and watched as the people were happy and enjoying themselves. I thought to myself “what am I doing in a place like this? I don’t belong here.” I didn’t see prom as everyone else saw it. Prom wasn’t fun. I wanted to cry, but shayla bumped me and I put on a nice fake smile. John let me borrow his top hat, I put it on and I danced like I wanted to dance. Top hats are magical. I laughed and I started to have fun. Top hats are really magical.
Then came afterprom. Before we actually got there, we went to a hotel to change. After Prom was at Dave&Busters down Arundel Mills. We went inside, I won shayla a plushie doromon, I think that’s his name, out of the crane game thingy. Then shayla, john, and tanique went to get something to eat. After they ate, they went to play games –I’m don’t really play games so I just watched. I was a bad date, I already knew. Shayla looked bored when Darrell went off somewhere and wasn’t playing games with her anymore. I hated myself.
Anyways, after all of that, we saw asher and kieffer and we all went to play some bowling. I actually played that, I have confidence in my bowling. We bowled about 7 times before we got to finish, we were told we need bowling shoes but no one wanted to get any so we all left. We ate some more and then went to win some tickets while shayla slept, she was sleepy. I guess she wasn’t used to staying up til 3 in the morning, or I was too boring. Either one. We tried to win as many tickets as we could before we had to go. Tanique and john had a ton. I had…a little. Lol. We cashed in our tickets and got some prizes. Then it was all over, we left.
Prom was so-so. Afterprom was fun.
