mid-prom mania

i’m mid-prom festival. jarod looks really nice in his tux. and our pink flowers match perfectly and were worth the extra drive for the discount.. we ate at shogun which was really delicious. and the most wonderful thing happened..

this guy picked up our tab. like all six of us. he’d been kind of talking with us throughout the dinner and he’d said something about how he didn’t get to go to his prom but he always wished he had. he warned us to be safe and not to drink and drive or have sex or anything. and told a story about someone he knew who’d gotten into a lot of trouble because he got drunk at afterprom. then, when the meal was over the waitress came by and said “that man over there said that he would be picking up all of your tabs and not to worry about it” so we’re all just completely dead silent. like dead silent. and jarod had been in the bathroom so he comes back and he was like “why are all of you so quiet over here” (i think the phrase that he used was stone silent) and i was like “that guy said he’s buying our dinners” so then the guy was just like “sometimes funny things happen”. it was a really wonderful moment. more later.
