Prom?

[racaulk]

Did you go to yours? Why or why not?

Got a pic? Post it!

This is my first copycat thread...be gentle... :)

[Deja Q]

1. No.

Don't ask why.

Good copycat though. :)

[bigwillq]

2. I went. Here's a pic:

It's not of me at the prom but it's of me and my prom date this past year at our 10 year HS reunion.

[racaulk]

3. Awwww...

Great pic! :hi:

[bigwillq]

4. Thanks!

She lives in Hawaii now with her hubby!

And since then I became gay! LOL! :rofl:

[racaulk]

12. Eh, you didn't "become" gay...

I bet you knew it in high school. And I bet your prom date knew it too... :P

[SPKrazy]

5. Did Go Sr. and Jr. Years

Don't have the pics handy

The girl I took to the Sr. prom is dead. She died my freshman year in college. we dated some that year but she died down in Norman in an auto accident. I understand the driver and she were wasted completely. That wouldn't surprise me at all since that was a usual condition for her and for me.

very sad outcome over the next 6 months past the prom.

Good Bye Brenda!

miss ya:hug:

[Shell Beau]

19. Well that sucks!

Sorry! Life can suck at times I know!! My brother died in an auto accident too!! :hug:

[SPKrazy]

22. Sorry Shell

:hug:

we had more of a friends with benefits thing than a romantic involvement, but I miss her, and it gets me sometimes still to think that she's gone. I know we wouldn't have had any future as a couple. We would end up drunk together and well.... but there wasn't anything else to it, the prom and that time of life were actually the most serious time of our relationship, and that weren't much at all.

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

6. I went to two. Got left at one. Had a great time at the other.

I do have a picture, but I'm too lazy to scan it right now. :)

[SPKrazy]

23. The Moran That Left You At The Prom Is, Well The Biggest Idiot I've Heard Of today!

yeah, let's leave the gorgeous blonde at the prom. Don't get it.

:shrug: :loveya:

[Kutjara]

7. I went to my senior prom, but...

...failed to photograph my green velvet tuxedo for posterity. I firmly believe this to be a good thing.

[Goblinmonger]

8. No, did not attend

Went to an all-boys boarding school (Catholic seminary).

9. 1968

Two years later:

[racaulk]

10. Wow! I'm so sorry.

What happened to him? Vietnam War?

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. :pals:

[Ptah]

11. Yes, Vietnam.

I dug out my yearbook and looked for prom pictures.

And there he was.

:cry:

Thank you.

[S n o w b a l l]

15. I'm sorry too, ptah..

:(

[Ptah]

17. The saddest thing is, it's happening again.

Blood for what?

:grrr:

[S n o w b a l l]

13. No...me and my friends were rebels

We considered it and laughed.

[racaulk]

14. LOL Me too!

There was no way in *hell* I was going to my prom! I didn't want to see the majority of my classmates while I was in school, so there was no way I was going to voluntarily see them outside of school!

[S n o w b a l l]

47. I didn't even go to my high school graduation...

I don't know...maybe if I could've worn ripped jeans and a peasant blouse to the prom I might have. But I still doubt it.

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

16. Yes!

Senior year. First time out since I had my daughter at the start of the school year. Pic is on my mother's wall in a frame. Sorry! :hi:

[Nicole]

18. I went to 4 proms

When I was a sophomore I went to prom with senior boyfriend at our school. That same year, about 2 weeks later, I went to prom with a senior friend from a different school. He had just broken up with his girlfriend so I was a stand in.

When I was a junior I went to prom with senior boyfriend.

When I was a senior I went to my prom with the same boyfriend from the year before.

We didn't have Junior High proms back then or I would have went to that too. I loved proms. :loveya:

I do have pics but would rather not share them. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

25. I Think You Should Share The Pics

Ms prom queen needs to show us.

if she wants to.


:hug:

[Nicole]

29. You can think that

all night long. I still won't post them. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

32. I Know You Won't

so forget I asked

:shrug:

[Nicole]

33. What?

What was the question?
:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

34. What Was The Question?

something about posting prom pics, and you said you wouldn't, I said I knew that and didn't know why I asked.

:evilgrin:

[Nicole]

35. You are making this hard!

You said to forget you asked, so I did. Now you're bringing it up again. :P

Make up your damn mind will ya!!!!!! :evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

36. Okay

forgotten

:shrug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

20. Nope

:(

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

21. Nope. I didn't.

Got invited when I was a junior...we moved back to the states a month later. Well before the prom. And you know what it's like being the new kid on the block.

Especially when said new kid wears glasses and saddle oxfords and a Frankfurt Eagles letter jacket and spends her free time in the library.

:eyes:

[Ptah]

26. I was in the library and too shy to ask you.

:blush:

[reyd reid reed]

38. I prolly should've

pulled my face out of those books every once in a while and taken a look around...

:loveya:

[Ptah]

41. At least you signed my yearbook.

I'll always have that.




:hug:

[SPKrazy]

27. Knowing How Cute You Are Reidie Sweetie

I feel sad for that memory you have.

I bet I'd have thought you were gorgeous then just like I do now. Especially with the boots on! :loveya:

:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

39. Awwwww

:blush:

:loveya:

[SPKrazy]

40. It's True

say it's not and I'll kick your butt tonight

[toadzilla]

24. i didnt go.

noone ever asked me :cry:

[SPKrazy]

28. Ohhhh, That's Hard To Believe

you are really nice looking maybe it's the name toadzilla?

May I have this dance?

[toadzilla]

30. its true!

i went to a mostly rich kids highschool. they thought i was weird, i was one of those purple haired art girls.

[SPKrazy]

31. Hey, A Million Stories In The Naked Citie(s)

I went to a mostly mormon jr. high, they thought i was weird, I didn't have purple hair, just wasn't mormon, and was a scared little guy who didn't know how to stand up for himself and no one stood up for.

I bet purple hair looked good on you.

:hug:

[TheMightyFavog]

37. no.

I was and to some degree, am still one of those guys who couldn't get a date if I was the last male on Earth.

[u4ic]

42. I did

It's called grad here, and it's not quite as big of a deal as it is in the US.


I had sort of an on again, off again relationship with my boyfriend at that time (he didn't go to my high school) - and it was off at the last minute. My best friend's date had gotten a Mercedes for us, and we had a couple of rooms booked at a hotel in Niagara Falls that evening. That went down the tubes...

I asked a (gay) friend if he'd go with me (hence cancelling the hotel reservation) - he was the only one left (he also didn't go to my high school).

It was fun, not spectacular. We went to a party after the grad dance, and then drove around Toronto into the wee hours of the morning.


Sorry, don't have any pics scanned. :hi:

[GalleryGod]

43. LOVED them ALL. Went to 5 ! Didn't have a BAD experience at all.

BTW....this is a classic "flaimbait" OP (down thru the 5.5 years I've been 'round here)

I'm surprised it hasn't allready been locked.

My Promdates

No Wait, that was the Girls Volleyball Team!

[racaulk]

44. Flamebait?

There was a thread in the DU Lounge yesterday called "From?" and I started this thread simply as an attempt to form a humorous copycat of that one. There was no malicious intent on my part. And there have been quite a few responses in this thread, and I don't see any evidence of anyone flaming anyone else.

What is it about my OP that makes you think it is flamebait? Not being rude or argumentative here, I'm just curious why you feel that way.

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

45. Didn't go to Prom...

Wish I could say it was because i was too cool. Unfortunately, I was a dork who didn't date in high school.

I got asked to prom when I was 26 by a 17 yr old senior. No. I didn't go...

46. Opted for the 'military ball' instead...

The JROTC unit at my school, in coordination with the ones at the other 9 high schools in Charlotte, played host to one huge formal gala at the end of the year. The cadet officers are 'required' to attend.

The boys come in Class-A formal (issued through their programs... we had Army, Navy, and Air Force sponsored programs in the county), and the gals in standard 'prom dresses'.

Well, except for me... i had to do a costume change.

I was a cadet staff officer, and although i arrived in formal 'girl' attire, i had to change into formal 'military' attire (complete with my saber) in time for the presentation of the assorted cadet commanders and staff from all of the schools.

I went stag that night, but had a great time, especially once i was able to get out of those blasted heels. I think i danced with my best-friend's girlfriend more than he did (thanks, Denise, wherever you are!)

[China_cat]

48. I got stood up.

[Nikia]

49. Of course

I went to prom with my senior boyfriend my sophomore year.
I went to my junior and senior proms. I went to a fairly small school so participation in activities like this was expected of any reputable student so I went. Not going was like frequently skipping class, not being in any extra curriculars, failing a class, or getting suspended. I needed my teacher recommendations.

[dropkickpa]

50. Not mine

I went with a friend to his because he got dumped a week before. I never had any desire to go to mine (or any other school dance, but I did my friend a favor cuz I'm nice like that).
