Prom.

[Meat Puppet]

Me and some friends went as the Village People. I was the Construction worker.

I never made it to the after-ball though. I think I must've got abducted by aliens or captured by the U.S government or something.

6th Form Ball: Sucked, because I went with my girly friends, who wanted to do girly things like dance. Meh. I ate, kicked up a fuss about my math teacher's wife wearing a fur coat, and then spent the rest of the night playing with candles and helium and gameboy in the corner. I had to hide because people kept telling me I looked good, which made me want to punch them in the face. At least there was Placebo.

7th Form Ball: Much better, as almost everyone in 'the group' came this time [dammit, Panzerknacker] and therefore I got to pass notes and things instead of be pounced upon by dancemongerers. The day after was MUNA, too. Ha, I feel old. I wore my skirt from this to Joe's Family's Thanksgiving dinner last year yay! xD

Daniel, do you have pictures that I don't have from the ball?

This has bizarre implications which might illustrate why I'm a hypocrite (read the girl ask guy out thread). Then again I did say I would just go out once with a woman who asked me out. Also it was years ago, but still:

I took karate classes twice a week. On the Tuesday class I was approached by one of the students -- the second oldest in our group, and the oldest female. She was graduating this (that) coming April and asked me if I wanted to be her date. I told her I'd think about it for a week and said yes the follow week (omg). I continued minding my own business, since she asked me and thus will be in charge of arranging most of the 'date' -- transportation, accomodation, and the corsage/flowers. All I had to do was pick it up on the day of the prom.

On the day of the prom I spent the entire day at a Wendy's restaurant preparing it for its premiere opening day. It took longer than expected so I had to leave the two (2) employees there to finish the work on their own (a manager and an employee). I told them in advance too. So I don't feel bad. I picked up the flowers, and proceeded to go to her house about twenty minutes early (I would've arrived ten minutes late nowadays). She was already dressed. In hindsight, it is likely she was dressed at least an hour to three before I arrived xD.

I met her parents, her dog, her friends who would be going with me, blah blah. Piled into a car and drove to other parents who continued their banter until it was time to go to the hall. Pictures were taken, banter, etc. We were loud and talkative until dinner, at which point oddly we were silent the entire time. They started playing dance music or hip/hop or whatever was popular at the time around the time we finished dinner, but we continued talking until we had properly rested. My date started to dance on her own at first, because I wasn't done resting. However we did do that silly slow dance stuff just about ever slow song they played.

Highlight of the dancing night was when I did a handstand spin around (1990 to those in the know).

After the prom we stumbled into a hotel. One of the parents had rented a room for the night, and we had to fit....oh man, 8 people into that room. Yes it's illegal. So we were sneaky and went in the elevator in two groups. Broke out the alcohol and drank it illegally (I was 19), played truth or dare until I passed out from alcohol consumption, and went to bed.

For a long while my date joked that she slept in a bed with a guy and a girl.

I never went to my own school's prom. I dispised the community there.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

My prom was all right, I just went with a friend and had a good time. I'm not much into dancing, and it was really expensive, so really I don't think it was worth it.

[black orb]

>>> I hate them, and I never went to one.. There is no way I`ll wear a tuxedo or wathever those things are...

[Loony BoB]

Daniel, do you have pictures that I don't have from the ball?

Probably, but there's no way in hell I'm giving those out, I looked worse than I normally do, and that's saying a lot.

But yeah, obvioiusly from Calliope's post and question you can tell I went. I went solo, I never did get the point of taking a friend when they already have their own invite anyway. Who cares if you're going alone so long as you have a lot of friends who are also going? Oh well. I spent most of the 7th form school ball tapping my foot, talking with the people in my group of friends, getting photos taken, having an ice cube fight with Danielle (haha, that was so great) and worrying about Samantha because Stuballs was being a jerk.

[m4tt]

Uhh, I didn't go because girls at my high school sucked. And I hate dancing. I think I went to the movies with one of my friends.

[SadisticStreetSoldie]

I don't want to go to mine anymore but my stupid mum is now making me go because we already paid for my dress, bag and heels :-( GEMMA NOT HAPPY! Three of my best friends aren't going, I have no date and if I don't go then my other best friend will be all alone *sigh* and our other 'friend' is going and we know that she's going to try and tag along all night when we hate her two-faced manpiultive lying two-timing ass. It's going to be crap I just know it.

[Venom65437]

I was basically forced to go with my then girlfriend even thou I really didn't want too. I don't like to dance, at all.

Once we got there, it was ok, but then all her friends wanted to leave and she got all stupid and emotional. It started out good, but then went bad. It was also annoying to go to places and have old people want to take our picture cause we were dressed up. Like they haven't seen anyone dressed up before.

Anyway, this is a word of wisdom for all you highschoolers out there. PROM IS THE MOST OVER RATED THING IN HIGH SCHOOL! Seriously, you won't miss a damn thing by going, and if you do go, you'll see it isn't any different from any other dance you went to, and you probably won't have any special memory from that night that eclipses all others. Unless you do something I probably can't say on this forum, but I didn't do that on prom night anyway.

Junior prom - Spent a lot of money on hair and make up and a dress. Got stood up by my boyfriend and went with my Mulder action figure instead. It was an alright night, my friends made me happy and I liked freaking people out by how different I looked. I was effing miserable though. Though I found out later my boyfriend officially left me for his internet girlfriend that night.

Senior prom - I went because of a promise I made as a freshman. I didnt have a date, but my friends and I had a blast.

[Jojee]

I don't have pictures, but I had a blast. I wore a red dress, and went with my boy In his red hot firebird.

Beautiful dinner at the melting pot, they have the BEST dessert...

A la prom, we had a great time dancing, and we started kissing in the middle of the prom and no one told us to break it up, they were just like, aww how cute.

Then we had a fantastic night after the prom ^_^;

[Ko Ko]

I had a prom, and I wore a knee length red Qi Pao with a slit up the side.
I looked stupid.

What's a Qi Pao? Surely I am not the only one wondering... I hope.

[CloudDragon]

Yeah, Prom and After Prom were fun and all, but it wasn't anything that special. All that stuff about the "best night of your life" and missing out on it is a bunch of horse poop though. Having a good time was all that matters.

[Ko Ko]

A Qi Pao. What... hmm let me think... that chick from Street Fighter wears.
