Miguel OHara Val_Armorr I avoided mine. Too expensive. Besides, I felt no compulsion whatsoever to spend an evening around a bunch of people the majority of whom I didn't care for and listen to music that sucks. Bad enough I had to deal with school during the week. The weekends were all mine. That pretty much summed up why I didn't go to my prom. I didn't feel like paying all that money to go to a dance with no date. My buddies and I played gory video games instead. I think I went to a movie, but I don't remember which one. I remember all the seniors sold chocolate bars to help fund the thing. They did that every year. My sweet tooth was very happy. I didn't think much of it until I was senior and people were actually stressing a bit about not selling enough candy bars. They're looking at me as if I had already sold them all, and I'm looking back like 'it's all your problem, not mine'. Hell, I'd have skipped my graduation if my father wouldn't have killed me with his own two hands. As it was, we went through the ceremony and once it was all over everyone hugging and crying and taking pictures. I shook three people's hands. Gave out four hugs. Then I got the hell out of there. My parents had no clue where I went until I got home. "We wanted pictures!" "I wanted to run screaming from the entire thing!" rolleyes I did actually go to my ten year reunion. Saw some people that I had actually missed. Drank a bunch of cheap whiskey. Had a ton of people chatting to me like we were old friends, some of which I had never said a word to in high school. Not that they were bad folks then, but it was a fairly big school and I didn't do much there. Spent more time with karate activities. Reunion was worth it. Mainly because I had put on 25 pounds of muscle and it was nice to make a couple of the girls flirt me up.

Yeah, my school sold chocolet for Prom too, though it flopped my senior year when they made Prom only for seniors and Juniors were not allowed to buy the tickets any longer.
My daughter is so adorable. 4laugh my parents put her toddler bed into her bedroom when i was working last night. Which is odd sense we have no where to put the crib.. can't sell the expensive thing no matter what we do. *shakes her head* So it's sitting in her room next to her toddler bed.
Well this morning when i walked into her room after making breakfast she looks up at me as she's just sitting up in her bed and says "I wanna push play. elephant" heart
Which is this learning video about wild animals... for some reason she's obcessed with it more so than usual.

And everyone be talkin' about prom pictures but I ain't seein' any. domokun Don't look at me, I actually posted one. Am I also to gather that I am the only person in this whole thread who didn't loath to the very core their prom? The only one who even wanted to go? Yeah, prom itself wasn't the greatest thing ever. The food wasn't good, the meat was really dry, and I was stuck at a table with a friend I had formerly been very close to and his new friends. But then, I didn't have to sit their the whole night, I wandered around and talked with people. I didn't dance, but I hung around with all the other people who didn't dance, circulating in the crowd, talking about what people were wearing and where they were going to college, what they were going to do next. Prom was the last time I saw a lot of people (our was literally days before seniors left school, which was weeks before everyone else got out). I drove myself (limos are too expensive) but then that also meant that I was able to hit a rediculous number of afterparties. Sure I didn't have a real "date," but so what? For us, prom was never billed as the huge pageant-princess dance you see in movies. It was a formal version of the Senior BBQ where we didn't get to play with fire.

For as "memorable" as prom was, my school had this big party in a clubhouse after graduation. That was what was hella cool. Karaoke, an indoor swimming pool, a dj, and an entire senior class locked in. Thank god I got rid of that tape with me just in my swim trunks singing "Jump Around"....>.>

xBruceWaynex To be honest Prom was only alright in my book. I think it would have been a lot more fun if my mom hadn't been the one driving us to and from >.<

Proms, like weddings, are more for girls. Prom is only cool for dudes if they're guaranteed to get laid.

Man, my SISTER is the one who took prom super seriously. She refused to go with her actual boyfriend because, horror of horrors, he was SHORTER than her. D: So she dumped him and instead she went with one of her guy friends on the swim team who had a few inches on her. xp

I enjoyed both my proms. My junior year for some reason decided to go all out and get a limo and eat at an expensive restaurant, but it was all fun and I had a good time. Next year I went with a different group of friends and we didn't do the limo thing so that was a lot cheaper. I had so much fun both years.

And I didn't hate the actual prom, it its self was rather fun, but the week leading up to prom was surprisingly stressful. For me at least.
