Prom

And related activities.

I expected it to be not-so-great and generally overrated, but it was actually ridiculously fun.

I am so looking forward to it. <3

I never went to prom. It was a few years later when I found out that it wasn't as corny as I thought it was (I figured it to be teachers patrolling everything and nothing but Creed blasting out the speakers).

So, I was told it was slightly less corny.

I do not regret skipping my prom.

I'm not going to prom. I left high school at 16 (2 years ago) to take classes at college instead. I'll be getting my AA degree in about 5 weeks.

My prom was two weeks ago, and I didn't go. Not because I was against it, but I didn't have 70 bucks plus more for a dress and whatnot.

^ True, prom is stupidly expensive. I don't think I'd have been able to go if I didn't have a job.

Oh goodness, prom was so much fun. Dressing up and seeing everyone all fancy was amazing, and the food was nice.

I didn't hate prom, but I honestly wouldn't have minded missing out. The main reason I went was so everyone would stop bugging me to go.

Bah, prom, just another excuse to encourage the youth to prodigal clothes spending and shoes that can't be walked in, as well as furthering the idea that what other people (who are not, and never will be, your leader, underling or actual-friend) care about you.

...it's still fun.

Karaoke with my friends was fun. We rickrolled prom in one huge group.

I skipped my prom to watch Transformers Victory.

What a cool fellow I am.

^^ Nothing that awesome happened at mine, though someone did get the DJ to play the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song.

Prom is like the gateway to the wild world of sex and parties. Of course you should go, and relish every moment.

We don't have prom, we have a 'formal'. I wore a dark blue dress and had my hair up in a french roll; the day after I went and got all my hair lopped off. The reactions on Monday morning were cool.

I went alone though. I would have gone with my best friend, but we were already considered wierd enough. We were supposed to be going as a group of 6 friends, but everyone else went and got dates

You didn't stay in a group with your dates? That's what my group did, most of the people and couples were part of our group of our friends, and everyone from "outside" just came along with us.

Mine (formal, that is, since Australia doesn't do prom) is...next year, I think.

I'll probably pass, since I doubt I'll be in a relationship by that time and I'd probably find more enjoyment from doing bugger all than going there alone.

We stayed with them, of course. It was just that at the beginning of the year, when nobody had a boyfriend, the 6 of us agreed "screw boys, let's just go as a group of friends!" and then one by one they got boyfriends.

The only thing I like about prom is post-prom season when I can buy AMAZING multi-hundred dollar dresses for fifty bucks or under. I don't use them for anything but costume bait, but who cares??

A few years ago I got a strapless sparkly lime green dress that's just the most perfect Tinkerbell dress you ever did see. Why a designer thought this would be a good prom dress I don't know. And I don't care.

We have a prom and a 'formal'. We also have a senior trip and another trip thing. We have lots of shit...

Do you guys not do casual homecoming/prom dates where you are? Or don't you want to ask anyone? Anyways I can assure you that if you have friends to hang out with going will still be fun, admittedly I had a date but I had friends without dates who had a great time.

I didn't have a date for prom nor did I want one. I also did not have a date for the grad night trip to Disneyland. In fact I didn't even hang out with a group of friends. I basically just ran about the park all night long by myself and enjoyed my moment of freedom. I also occasionally talked to some of the people in the lines. Two people from another city invited me over to eat with them since I was alone. I will always remember those two and their random act of kindness.

I'm once again adrift in the dateless sea.

A), I attend an all-boys school so I've had no contact with girls my age for years now, and B) I'd hilarious awkward in situations like that, especially since I wouldn't be surprised if my entire main friendgroup passed on the thing to play Eve or something.
