My Prom Story

So my senior prom was over the weekend, and I had a blast. Dinner was good (prime rib with mashed potatoes and green beans) and beautiful weather allowed us to hang out on the balcony over looking a golf course at sunset.

We finally got to dance at around 8 PM. They played the usual dance songs ("Say Yeah" by Wiz Khalifa, anyone?) and the Titanic song. After about an hour, the DJ announced that they were taking requests. I knew that I wanted to make my prom special, and memorable, so I went up and requested a song.

After about 15 minutes, the sweet sound of a keyboard and electronic drums came over the speakers - Rick Astley, NS icon.

I started to dance, my strength was rejuvenated. I lost myself in Rick's amazingly low voice, and before I knew it half of my class was off of the dance floor. I didn't understand it - how could you not enjoy the timeless classic that was playing?

I shrugged it off and continued to dance, while more and more people left the dance floor. I guess they just didn't appreciate the song as much as me. Thanks NS!




And the new NS trend, for you lazies: Sparknotes - I Rick Roll'd my prom, causing half of my classmates to leave the dancefloor.

sick man sounds transcendental like rockin to the beat of your own drum.My song for me is sandstorm by darude. I went nuts on that song, and after it I felt so tired, but it was so worth it.

Word. I wish I had done that.  I almost did but I decided Prom would be one of those nights I'd regret not going to.  Turned out to be the other way around....
