Did you go to your prom?

Went to both Junior and Senior proms. The former was a fiasco in as much as about two weeks before the prom itself all my friends were sitting down and they said "Greg how's the limo coming?" Limo? What limo? Naturally since I'm the organizer they expected me to get the limo and prep the arrangements for our transportation...yep not gonna happen two weeks before prom season. We ended up going in a convoy of caravans, boy was that fun (though the dance itself was enjoyable)

Anyway Senior prom we did things right: 18 person limo, dinner at this really neat and just fancy enough Greek resteraunt, a damn good time at the dance itself, and an after party that didn't die until 2 or 3am. I was amazed we managed the whole thing without alcohol since we were all still good little students at the time.

You went Greek too? My prom group went to this little Greek place that's no longer open before the actual prom.

We don't have that tradition here in Sweden, but a prom was arranged for the Seniors in high school. However, the tickets were quite expensive (IIRC the price was 600 Swedish kronor apiece. It has been ten years of inflation etc., but today that's $77), so I skipped it (not too many went anyway because of the price).

ONe of my best friends from HS was Greek and his family had been to this place before. Its still open but its a rather out of the way little joint in the Greek seciton of Baltimore. Really nice place and I'd recommend it for prom because no one else even thought of doing somehting like it outside our group (at my HS anyway obviously your group did too

)

I didn't go due to a party being organised by one of my friends but that got re-arranged.

It was on the same time as the England/Greece match anyway. (Damn disallowed Goal!) and the people who did go said twas rubbish.

Went to prom with my now fiancee. We had a pleasant enough time, but getting dressed up is totally not my thing, so it's not on my top ten list of fondest memories, or anything like that.

I was going to go to my senior prom with a girl I was dating at the time, but a couple weeks before it she told me she couldn't go due to her parents being upset about her grades. Thankfully I hadn't bought tickets or anything yet, and I decided to be a gentleman and not go either, since I wasn't going to go and enjoy the night without her company.

Turned out she was lying to me, and the guy she was cheating on me with was going to be there, and she didn't want us to find out about each other. Bitch.

This also meant that the only dance I went to in my entire high school time was my freshman year homecoming.

I went to my prom (in '1988) with a girl I hardly knew and could barely tolerate, because I felt it was expected of me. She had a horrible time, as I refused to dance with her. We went to a movie and then I dropped her off, counting the evening as a loss.

Hindsight is 20/20, and I now realize I was being a total putz. She likely still curses my name to this day, if she remembers it. I don't remember her's.

We've had several (there generally is an a party at a club somwhere, after every term), and I have been to all of them.
One was last night, and it was awesome.

The one thing I wonder about though, is the practicalites of banning certain people from drinking alcohol: two people in particular.
One got extremely pissed and decided it would be a good idea to smash shit in the bathroom: I found him attempting to rip taps out of the wall, and he'd filled a sink with broken glass, after he'd smashed ten pint glasses in there. He also attempted to start a fight with everyone who looked at him.
The other guy is really quiet nearly all of time. This changes when you add alcohol: he turns into a man-whore after a couple of drinks. Last night, he got oral sex of some random girl, who he doesn't know the name of, and came back with cum over his shirt. On a different occasion, he got - and I'm not exagerating here - a 3 hour blowjob off a girl. He fell asleep, and she carried on. Apparently, they both gave up after he'd woken up

There are plenty of other examples as well: most of them resulting in him getting head off random (generally ugly) girls.

The vast majority of people (or those I know reasonable well) act in generally the same way when drunk, but some people just completely change

Option 3. At that point in my life I was a huge Trektard and in the senior edition of the school paper voted 'class cheeseball,' whatever the fuck that meant.

So I stayed home, got really ripped and watched TOS until I passed out.

I went to another school's prom the following weekend with someone a friend of mine hooked me up with. The prom date was so bad, I ditched my date, leaving her in the company of her friends. Once I left the dance (I didn't even think about going to this chick's after prom party.) I went to 1470 West downtown with a fake ID and chased drag queens for the rest of the night, which was a freakin' sweet ass time.

I went. It was a moderate amount of fun since me and my friends all snagged a pair of tables in the back corner. The afterparty was even more fun than the dance, so I'd say it was worth it.

The next morning my mom accidentally exposed the film in my camera and I lost the entire roll.

I went to mine, didn't have a date but hanging out with friends was still fun. Danced a little bit which was good fun as well. What was really amusing was when we found a cubby hole where the bass was reverberating so much it shook you.

Lord Zentei · Post by **Lord Zentei** » 2006-04-05 03:37pm

I went to mine, though it was not as much fun as it was made out to be. Too crowded, too noisy.

The one we went to was in an out-of-the-way part of town. Only reason we even knew about it was one of the guys lived in that part of town and had eaten there before, and we knew most of the people at school were too.....provinicial to appreciate Greek food. You generally don't see many rednecks eating calamari

I went, I saw it was terrible, I left.

A week later the school held a formal evening to celebrate it's 75th year. Very posh, with guest speeches from the governor, bishop and various higher-ups from the education department. All of the elected members of the student council got invited and it was *much* better then their poor excuse for a prom. Waltzing is so much more special then jumping up and down like an idiot - I can do that every day

No, of course not.

Oh fuck waltzing. I like grinding against a hot piece of ass on the dance floor, not holding her at fucking arm's length and trying to pretend I'm not staring down her dress.

I attended my Senior year Prom. It was one of the worst days of my life next to being arrested.

Seconded. At my ex prom, it was a classy affair so they were all about the slow stuff. I don't condone slow ballroom dancing in any way, shape or form. The only sort of dancing I'm willing to take part in is fun stuff, like swing or latin stuff. Which is fucking sexy, since alot of the dances I'm good at generally involve her being acrobatic and me being able to keep time and be strong where appropriate.

Not only did I not go to my high-school's prom, I never went to any of the high school sponsored dances at all. I hate dancing, and when I feel like being sociable enough, interacting with other girls isn't that big an issue for me. So, yeah. No dances for me.

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2006-04-05 06:31pm

I went...dressed like some overspruced peacock, saw a woman in a gown that required two people to push her through, had a bad rubber chicken dinner. Had sex. Not the worst experience, but it certainly summed High school on a single note.

Um, no dude. The whole point of our comments is that he's the one stuck jerking off.
