S.A.V.A.G.E-One of the few words to describe the night of 13 September. :)
It was the Annual
Gormo Debs(prom). Held in The Park Inn Hotel ,
Dundalk up north near the border to Northern Ireland. Fortunately and unfortunately my date, the lovely Caroline lives in
Dundalk-5 minutes away from the place. Unfortunately is because I appeared to have no date when everyone met up in school first. It was awkward explaining over and over again that I'm not doing it solo and my date's in
Dundalk already.

Anyways, got the 'party bus' up to Park Inn and it was great! free drinks and live music on board, what more can you ask for? -better than a limo that I initially wanted.... Dave on the left here is a great guitar player and Conor, predictably stepped up and took the stage to entertain us with songs like
Wonderwall and
Tenage Dirt Bag. He's good no bother , playing the guitar upside down (because he's a
leftie) and still manage to play the song. Even Iris by Goo Goo Dolls-our graduation song! *sobs ... Had a glass of champagne and a can of
bulmers on the bus and was a 'wee' intoxicated when I got off and met Caroline there. She looked pretty if
not gorgeous or dead pretty! :P Got a hot date Woooo*!!!

Reached the place around 8 something , forgot to bring the camera so i borrowed Ting's when I was
bac in school. Didn't take much pics anyway besides I admit, I'm a lousy photographer! as you can probably judge from these pics. but
thats not the point!
NOOO....
The debs was it. Met more of my ex-school mates at the lobby and Damn! Mo and
Crino got a helicopter to take them to the debs apparently! Their parents must be printing $$$ big time! but it was obvious anyway when
Crino bought a pool table outside the rec-room. Sadly most of my teachers weren't there! only some that taught
back in 4th year or 5th year. Catching up on old timesand seeing familiar faces..-its all good.! good
ol'
Sinnot is as
cabbagy-headed as always!
Pooles still a big bird no matter what,
Jin still look like the king of Huns , Nathan broke up with
Quiva after a
looong time. Chops got the '
Pornstar' award ,
Clinto -'Scumbag' award
hehah!... Mo and the 'Rich-Kid' award.
haih
Dinner is served! -nice place ,nice soup too! main course-turkey and ham. usually got that in school on
sundays-not really into it then. Didn't really eat much that night. Found out something new after dinner-ya know the helium you can find in them balloons? if you breath or suck it in, you'll have a voice like
Tweety the bird -I'm dead serious.... but we had a good laugh over it anyway! At first she tried and good lord! her voice change! passed it to me but it doesn't seem to work. tried again taking in more and voila!-
jijiman with
squeaky voice!
We stayed back for a bit at the table when the club opened but I remember having the best piss
of my life when the toilets weretemporary closed when someone apparently threw up all over the place! eeewwww...!! and the hotel staff a lady guarding the door while they were cleaning it hinted us ( there were a few of us!) to stand cross-legged! -to hold it in! first time I eva heard of that! didn't really worked anyway and 2 mins they told us was like 10! plenty of 'aahhhhss.'.....in the toilet later. Finally we headed down to the night club and it looked class! Got some drinks at the bar first then I had to be coaxed down to the dance floor- Can you imagine it?! me dancing? -'no way Hose!' but just to keep her company I did! *swt! Admitted at first that dancing is not my 'thing' but kena dragged down anyway....
The first 2 times admitably was awkward no bother! my NOOB beacon shone out for miles and it felt like everyone's watching but as Caroline would say-'no one's watching plus you won't see most of them in the future anyway' Thought about it ,
it would come handy later and away we go!
Basicly danced the night away and since she thought I was goina just abandon her during the prom-I was almost never 2 metres away from her all the time! lol... We would just head out to the floor dance till we were tired or head
off to just chill and chat at some corner at the basement until some good song come on and we would look at each other and just say 'lets go!..' off to the floor again! She was a decent dancer if not experienced! and along the way, I just picked it up and 'bogeyed' to the groove! *Wooot!!! if we (mostly me!) don't know the song we just stuck to each otha and sway thats all! Wasn't too bad now that I've tried it!

So there I was at the beginning of the night who had to be coaxed to skipping like a goat to the dance floor! had a great time and there were 'moments' as well with some songs that we'll never forget! e.g. -'Beautiful Girl'-Sean Kingston , "All The Things That I've Done' -The Killers -It was just great.., good ,bloody brilliant , can't put it in words...
They were also bouncing around some big balloons-real big ones! on the dance floor :)
Had like er...4 bottles of barcardi breezers orange of course! , a budwiser , a bulmers , a glass of champagne (that taste like over-fizzed beer!) a sip of Caroline's Malibu and orange through out the night and guess what!? I WAS SOBER!I mean, the last time I had a pint of heineken I was already tipsy...it was great craic anyway.
.
Danced/chatted/chilled till it was 5am. Then we went upstairs for breakfast- hungry as I didn't really eat anything for dinner. 'Delilah' came on and we were excited until after we got down the stairs our legs were aching... someone stepped on her toes...lol :P downside of wearing heels. So to basement again! Our usual dark corner seat was taken so new spot then with place to put our feet up some more..That was until 'Chasing Cars' (Snow Patrol) came on! lol.. up and gone again... slow danced to that and to all the other songs they put on then...

In the end, dawn broke, 5 am the next day. The splendid night had to come to an end...*sobs . Buses were arriving to take us back to school , she called her mum to collect her.
Plucked up the courage to ask for a goodbye kiss - she just replied -'maybe...' with a cheeky grin. Well ,...theres a first time to everything and God, that was my first kiss. A chilly morning became
a wee warmer after that. I can't put it in 
words......warm, moist? , pleasant feeling ? it was nice alright..but weird in its own way.
Her mum soon arrived then talk about timing.... a goodbye hug and good night! and twas over... *sobs....
Got on the coach back to school and 'konged' out till we reach school..
