Thoughts on Prom Queen

Hello!

Prom is next friday! I'm super excited for a number of reasons. These reasons being:
1) I get to hang out with my very best friends.
2) I get to hang out with my classmates.
3) I get to dress up and feel awesome.
4) I am running for Prom Queen.

Now, if you know me at all, you might be surprised. Prom Queen? Moriah? REALLY!? I know, I know. But I really, really want to win and will be extremely disappointed if I don't.

I know that prom isn't that big of a deal, but I like it! I'm not super hardcore about it, but I love the glamour and the going out and dressing up and I LOVE the dancing! There's just something about it that makes me go absolutely girly. And I want to be Prom Queen.

Ever since I was little, I wanted to be Prom Queen and I'm not sure why. I made sure not to sign up to run for any other Queen (Like Homecoming, Winter Wonderland or Valentine's) because if I happened to win any of those, I wouldn't be able to run for Prom Queen. I have been preparing myself for this for quite a while. There's just something about the idea that my peers voting for me to be their Prom Queen that really gets to me. I would probably cry if I got it haha.

I guess it's because I've always hated being called a Princess or the like. I've been uncomfortable with my femininity for so long that it's almost grating if someone tells me I'm cute or pretty or even beautiful. I never feel like that's who I am. But I think I would feel that way, if I were to get dressed up and be in my element and then be crowned.

Which is kind of silly, because I've got my outfit planned out and I will be pretty no matter if I get that crown or not. I realize that. But I can't help the way I feel, and I'm not making this blog to sound sane or smart or whatever. I'm here to tell you what I think.

Anyway, one of my good friends is running against me, so I don't expect to get it. But either way, I really want to be Prom Queen. We shall see.
I'm Cool, Crowned or Not,
Moriah Jane
