Formalism

Wow, what a night! Alistair and I managed to score invites to the O.L.S.H. (Our Lady of the Sacred Heart; some Catholic college) formal and all I can really say is it blew my mind. Oh, I feel the BeeGee's busting out! "Oh, what a night!"
I went with a wonderful and zany girl, Vicki, and Alistair with Rach, who seemed to feel out of place being so dressed up!

Seeing as I have another half hour to kill before I go to Rocka I'll take the time to fill you in on how Alistair and I met these O.L.S.H. girls.
Al and I have done the Great Victorian Bike Ride almost every year since year 7. When we (more I) were old enough to develop the confidence to talk to girls and a voice that spoke rather than squeaked in about year 9, we started the unofficial tradition of hanging out with the O.L.S.H. crew on the Ride.
So last year, we met three overly energetic and crazy girls, Alana, Rach and Lacey, and we hung out with them and had a ridiculous time with them just hanging out, exploring all the little country towns which were unfortunate to support the 5 or 6 thousand riders for a night. We exchanged numbers and we kept in contact after the ride was over and we've caught up heaps since then at birthdays, parties and to catch a movie or two.

Somehow, both Vicki and Rach decided to invite Al and I to their formal and it was amazing! We went to a place in South Yarra, 9 Darling Street. It was awesome to see the girls all dressed up, seeing as I usually only see them in lycra or trackies. OK, there may have been jeans once or twicem but that's it!
But the night was amazing, every moment I was there and even afterwards is incredibly memorable.
Ha! I think I suprised a few people when I slow danced with a bloke named Dave Power, an awesome fella with a killer last name, too. But I gotta say, whilst Dave was good because I copped a feel, dancing with Vicki was far more enjoyable.

I've gotta say, it feels strange being in a suit for so long and having to behave (which I almost did). To all the kids who are reading this, who were nice enough to extend the invite, I hope I behaved myself and you had a memorable night.
Blogs away in formal attire!
