Buckwheat Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 6 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: It is, but I personally would have been disappointed to change back to jeans after the ball. If I’m going to be a princess for one day, I don’t want to change back to jeans when the clock strikes midnight, you know. I understand. It is not like it was obligatory to change at any point, everybody was free to stay dressed as fancy as they wanted to for the afterparty as well. We just mostly did it for practical reasons. 6 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: waltz dresses are usually rented (having one made is fancy allure of fancy kids - like sister - but even she is going to sell it to a salon after prom) and I had also rented my ball gown. Sister bought her party and dinner dresses but both are high street occasion-wear (so they weren’t particularly pricey either) so she can wear them any time in the future when she goes to a party or there’s a special occasion. IMO, it’s a good investment to have a couple party/elegant dresses because the time WILL come when you don’t have time/money to get a new outfit but you have to go to a wedding, an engagement/anniversary/birthday/anything party and you just need to be able to whip out a dress from your closet. Oh, I see. I don't think anybody rents a dress here, I have never heard of it. And they are generally the kind of dresses onw would not wear to anything even slightly less fancy than a ball. Maybe mine is, just a bit less fancy, but I never wore it again either. I probably won't, unless I get it corrected a bit. Don't want to get rid of it though, sentimental value! 6 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: As for expenses, every family indulges their graduate child according to their budget. Sister is (and so was I) fortunate enough that our family can afford to indulge her every wish for her prom and I think if a parent can afford to deliver their child’s dream for a special, one in the lifetime occasion, they will do it without a second thought. Or at least I would, if I had a child. Having said that, sister is quite a bit spoiled, indeed. Sure, parents just have different priorities. And I am not sure how it was at your place, but here all the attendees had to pay quite a lot just to attend, which alone might be a lot to some families. I do not know how my parents would react if I said I wanted two different fancy dresses for prom. But that is not the norm here and it would stick out a lot. 6 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: See, there’s the common sense in lavishness, it gets your makeup right seriously though, I think it’s only right that an 18 year old isn’t skilled at makeup and doesn’t know what she’s doing. If she is, when and where did she start, at the age of 13 with falsies and full coverage? Yep, completely right about that! Where were you to tell my 18-year-old self that? :p Well, there were some girls at my school who wore a whole lot of make-up to school every day at the age of 13-14-15. And I cannot imagine their mothers doing it for them every day ... so yes, people do start early with it. 6 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: You’re not alone with that. And then I’m highly selective of the people who approach me so why am I even surprised that I don’t have a relationship and I haven’t gone beyond three dates in like two years. Oh well. I’ll get there. Or get a buttload of dogs. No, I’m not a cat person. Buttload of dogs is always a good option. But I do wish you find a fulfilling relationship you dream of too. So I met up with some friends tonight for the first time after forever. I need to prove to the world and myself that I do not only live for work, I guess.

Normally someone driving like a bit of an idiot doesn’t bother me, but this is a huge heavy truck and it was quite dangerous especially with the amount of damage something like that can do, if he had driven in to me I’d be in hospital right now at the very least. Oh no...that sounds horrible! I hope you can do something. Not sure of which move to do here, maybe both actually, call the company so that his bosses know about that and also the police. I'm actually very sensitive to this kind of things. Some people are just blatant idiots. And it's awful bc normal people should not deal with that. At all... My weekend was really good. I went to town and despite being veery cold and misty (2-10ºC), I spent the whole day and night socializing and the lake looked so beautiful...

Jen'ari Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thank you all, I’ve decided to just report it to the company and hope they do something about it, I have a camera system on my car that is built in so I’m just figuring out how to download it so I can show them how bad it was!. The weather today is just dull and grey and murky here, I think I’d prefer it if it did snow, at least it would be exciting!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to prove to the world and myself that I do not only live for work, I guess. I see, if you had one dress you danced in and all, I guess I can see why people would want to change. It’s not like big fluffy dresses are suitable for modern day parties. My dance dress had a marvelous second life, it was reused for various purposes. We cut off some of the frills for an art project of sister’s at some point, and later she used it in theatre, in a play she did with the school. I don’t know where it is since then, maybe the school or the theatre kept it or they got rid of it. I don’t miss it. No, that’s not customary here. Family members just pay some symbolic amount for the “ticket”. There wasn’t any food at my prom, but there’ll be “dinner” at sister’s, so we paid maybe €10 per person for that? Something like that. In junior year and I wasn’t familiar with GoT or this forum I’m afraid yeah and that doesn’t usually look good either. And when it does, it’s scary. Sure, me too. I just won’t settle for anyone, settle for anyone~ (god you guys did this to me, all the song references) Yay it’s very important to have a life beyond work. I have a couple friends to whom you could pass down this wisdom. Hope you had fun! 10 hours ago, Lord Sidious said: Thank you all, I’ve decided to just report it to the company and hope they do something about it, I have a camera system on my car that is built in so I’m just figuring out how to download it so I can show them how bad it was!.

My weekend wasn’t social because a friend (who could learn that work life balance value from Buckwheat) cancelled our Saturday plans. But my weekend was still great because I decorated for Christmas!!!!! awww it makes me so happy to have the place looking festive!!!!!!! It’s not ready yet but it’s looking great and on that note, allow me to brag a little and show you this elf/santa/cute creature arrangement. Is it not the cutest thing you have ever seen?

Jen'ari Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Oh I’ve not decorated at all for Christmas yet, I suppose we will have to go and get a tree and I will have to find the decorations, my fiancée did it all last year because I was far too pregnant by then , I have no idea where she’s put everything. Also I am going to call and email that company in the morning. Lastly I have to confess, I bought Fire and Blood on my Kindle yesterday, it’s pretty interesting although it does kind of read like a homework textbook, it does confirm the awesomeness of Rhaenys and Visenya though (I’ve not gotten past the first few years after the conquest yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might not socialise as much as...maybe 7 years ago back in my "clubbing" days?, but I do much more this year than the previous one bc it makes me feel better and I wanted to change that. Sometimes you just have to try to spread the value of relaxing to others. But yeah... I also have friends who are very into working, and I know it's hard sometimes. Or sometimes it's just a matter that they really couldn't. So....YOUR SANTA-ELF is hypeeeer cute!!!!!! Yeah, probably the most cute Xmas thing I've ever seen, because it's very original-out of the ordinary. I mean, I love the pine cons and the cutie nose I wanted to buy a polar bear this year but I have not still decided myself. I'm also really looking forward to decorating the house, though!!!!!

Jen'ari Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 So I got a response back from the company being very apologetic, they have reviewed the footage I emailed and thier own from thier truck and they decided it was so bad that they didn’t give him a warning (he had one before so they say) and have fired him, the guy seemed really genuine and said he has kids too and that kind of behaviour is completely dangerous and unacceptable from thier company.

Yes this is by far the most important thing, I just couldn’t help thinking though, what would have happened if we were just crossing the road with a buggy and not in a 2.5 tonne SUV, or if someone else was crossing the road while walking, it doesn’t bare thinking about and I’m glad they have fired him!.

Noo, he’s not in danger that was just where he was assambled because there’s a socket next to the door and I needed to plug in the glue gun. Since he’s been ready, he lives on a side table.

Oooh that’s very pretty! Is the weather still mild enough for outdoor hanging out? It got really cold here on Tuesday. Oh thank you. The elf was so cute and so cheap and I couldn’t leave it behind.

I used to love it but it's been a long time since I don't do this. Quote Oooh that’s very pretty! Is the weather still mild enough for outdoor hanging out? It got really cold here on Tuesday.

Well, at town it was a little bit cold in the afternoon, but not bad, you could still walk outside. Problem was that as hours passed by, it became colder. At around 1 am the temperature was 2ºC and there was a lot of mist! So the jacket you wear during the day might not be useful at night, XD. (or it's me who refuses to accept that "winter" is here and doesn't wear appropiate clothes..). But here in the city it's better. At night or early morning the temperatures are not dropping below 7-8ºC, and the afternoons are mild, like 12-15ºC. Yes, better put it in a place where it is more visible! Quote I agree with Buckwheat that we need to see the polar bear. See above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not remember towards what the money went ... probably the dance school who organises proms has a lot of profit from it. And the food was not so good to warrant that, no. Hopefully! No luck as of yet. You have a glue gun? So crafty. Hope you can get off work earlier today and tomorrow, and then it's weekend. I have my computer back!
