So Saturday was deb :) Holy shit I can't type that out without smiling
It was the best and the greatest and the night was just so lovely.
So it literally took me about five hours to get ready (but about an hour of that time was spent eating pho whilst reading blogs.)
Anyway, after a lot of stress (because my make-up artist totally fucked over my make-up) I did get to my friend Gaelan's house on time for limo. But as it turns out, I shouldn't have even bothered stressing out for time because our hummer rocked up an hour and fifteen minutes late.

So we arrive at deb and do a run through of the ceremony and eat sandwiches and camwhore like the whore like beings we are and at about 7pm, all 40 debutantes get ushered into this tiny little room to wait for the beginnings of the presentation.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
As we all know, I go very weird when there are lots of people in confined space and my stress levels heightens by about a million. This is what happened when I was stuck inside that tiny, little room and I became all flustered and I started talking incredibly fast about the most sporadic things to Chloe and other people I barely even know.
And then came, you know, the actual presentation and I completely flipped out. And then when I had to walk across the dance floor to be presented I was shaking like a crazy bitch which probably is going to look absolutely god awful when the video comes out.
So then we had to stand there for what felt like a million years while the other couples got presented and then we began to dance. And I know this sounds corny and lame but I was so happy I could have just died then and there. So much so that I couldn't stop smiling for the entire 15 minutes and most likely looked like shiny, fake prom queen because I was smiling that hard.

So after all the presentation shit, we got to talk to our families and friends which was lovely since I love them all and I was still smiling like a prom queen. Anyway, so after running around socialising for what felt like a bajillion years, me and Kevin (guy in photo and my deb partner) decided to go and eat our mains since him & I were starving (It was 10pm by the mains got served at my table and not to mention, I hadn't eaten since about 10am that day) but then Norah Jones' song "Don't Know Why" came on.

I'm pretty sure our conversation went something like this:
Me: "Okay Kevin I know I'm starving but I love this song so I'm going to dance"
Kevin: "Okay then."
-I walk onto the dancefloor to find my other male friend-
Me: "Why are you still here? I thought you were eating"
Kevin: "You said you wanted to dance..."
Me: 'Oh! Okay then!"
-begins slow dancing to possibly the greatest song ever-
Me: "Don't you feel awkward?"
Kevin: "Surprisingly I'm not; I'm with you"

And then after about two minutes I realise his mum staring at us dancing with these angry gleam in her eye (his mother absolutely hates me) and I was said "lol, your mum is staring at us. i think this is our cue to leave. run run!" and we gallivanted from the dance floor to eat our mains (which were god awful but when you haven't eaten anything for 12 hours, everything tastes good.)
Oh but don't get me wrong, I don't like my partner (in fact he's my best friend)

I didn't really do much for the rest of the night; mostly danced and attempted to avoid camwhorring at costs possible (a decision I now regret as I look through my minimal photos) and flitted around the room talking to friends and family.

I can't really even begin to explain why deb was so fantastic and why I had such a good time but it was definitely the highlight of my year (so far) and I just loved how much love there was between everyone on the night.

But yes, thank you to all of those who came (particularly Liz and Karen who are the loves of my life,) all of those who participated (Bree and Chloe, the other loves of my life,) my mother for paying for all most of this and to Kevin, for quite possibly being the most amazing deb partner ever (even though everyone says that.)

I honestly don't think I could have gotten through the night without him since I was going absolutely beserk (well it was a controlled beserk) in the two hour lead up to being presented.
But Kevin was so sweet and lovely in dealing with my craziness in simple gestures like squeezing my hand when I was flipping out before I was going to be presented, carrying all my make-up shit around in his tux pockets since I couldn't be bothered bringing a clutch to deb, for always keeping me company (except when I went the bathroom) since he knew I was on the brink of having a crying fit and wanted to keep an eye on me and for telling me that he was going to put that sash on me at the end of the ceremony (it was meant to be a surprise to all the girls doing deb) since he knew if he didn't I'd probably karate chop him in the middle of his head.

All in all, as I've said about a jillion times in this post, deb was so much fun and I loved it and it was the best.
