prom came and went and i didn't even notice until a week later

[Ava]

how lame does that make me? :rofl:

[rucky]

1. What do you have against wearing a poofy dress to the Olive Garden?

[Danger Mouse]

2. You are lame for reasons other than that, so it's okay.

[DarkTirade]

3. There were only two of us in my group of nerdy friends who went to prom.

And we went together.

In the land of the nerds, the guy who plays guitar gets to date the one cute girl. :P

[PaddyBlueEyes]

4. and you also missed the purity ball young lady

shame on you... :rofl:

[Ava]

5. .

:spray:

joking aside.. i know some people who went to one of those.

CREEPY

[PaddyBlueEyes]

8. I watched a doucmentary on one once

I was thinking, that is waaaaay to close to incest!

[Ava]

9. it is extremely creepy

many things fundies do are creepy though.


i have a friend who recently received a "purity ring" from her parents that she is just oh so proud of.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

11. well....it gives her one more thing to take off

when she....ya know :)

[Ava]

19. bwa

:rofl:

nah, i think the purity ring is programmed along with her chastity belt

[PaddyBlueEyes]

24. you ever heard of

bolt cutters? :evilgrin:

[Ava]

29. made of adamantium

[Odin2005]

18. Which makes it all the better that you are getting out of there!

[LeftyMom]

6. Honey, you're homeschooled. Dancing around in your living room isn't prom,

it's just being goofy at home. But you can wear a poofy taffeta dress while you do it if you really want. :rofl:

[Ava]

7. well i do that every day

;)

seriously, jeans are formal wear to me. pj's are my casual wear :rofl:

last year i was invited to prom by one of my friends but i was out of town and likely would have passed up anyway. i've never dreamed of going to prom like most gals, so missing isn't a big deal.

and those dresses are HIDEOUS!

[LeftyMom]

17. I went to my date's (mine was the same night) and it was hideously expensive and deeply lame

The only reason we had a good time was that we discovered that a very long, flowy skirt (I had the only non-horrible dress there- thank Vishnu for custom clothing) concealed a variety of decidedly forbidden activity.

Which is why prom organizers should never, ever hire an office building. Lots of dark corners, small little-used rooms and other opportunities for really unacceptable behavior.

[Odin2005]

28. LOL, you Gen-Xers were lucky, that would NEVER have been tolerated that at my prom!

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

35. It wasn't exactly tolerated.

But if you hire a building that's about 75% dark, private corners and expect a pack of horny teenagers to stay in the small, well lit section you have roped off for them to get overpriced pictures and dance to horrible music in, you're not going to have a lot of luck.

There was also a real lack of supervision. And I think since my date didn't have a "bad kid" reputation and I was from another school and they didn't know me, they were too busy tracking down the usual suspects (who were all in the courtyard lighting one up) to think to find us and figure out what we were up to and what states it was illegal in at the time. :rofl:

[Ava]

30. ha

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Prom, or as they call it in Alabama, "Fancy Shakin'."

:P

I used to live in Texas, so take it easy. ;)

[Ava]

13. can't say i've every heard it called that

:rofl:

you ain't southern anymore.. damn yankee!! :P

(i'll be one of those too, very soon.. yay! :woohoo: )

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. I was born in Brooklyn, so I'm like a yankee-Dixie-yankee.

:P

It'll be nice having you here. :hi:

[Ava]

32. no southern accent then?

when i was up there touring the school i had lots of comments about my accent(which i never thought was that bad) :rofl:

thanks! i can't wait to attend a NYC DU meetup.. at the olive garden :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. I have the flattest accent in the world.

I've lived in NY, Texas, Mississippi and California, but I sound like I'm from Kansas. :rofl:

[Ava]

36. so you've lived everywhere!

it's always been in the southeast for me.. mississippi, florida, and alabama, but a huge majority of that in alabama.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

38. And my parents immigrated to here from India.

I guess moving runs in the blood. :P

I've lived about 80% of my life in Texas and Mississippi, though, but still no trace of any accent, let alone a southern one.

[Lavender Brown]

12. You missed the one opportunity you'll have in life to wear a wrist corsage!

One that matches your dress, too! That chance will never come again. :cry:

[Ava]

15. i don't like flowers

they die :P

[Lavender Brown]

23. Nooo... you're supposed to preserve the corsage between pages of your yearbook

Then find it years later and reminisce. This is tragic! :P

[Ava]

27. i don't have a yearbook either

OH THE HORROR! ;) :)

[GOPisEvil]

16. Either that or have her date stab her to death with one of those corsage pins.

[Ava]

20. wait, i thought i'd get to stab him

that's the way it works right? :P

[GOPisEvil]

21. Well, yeah. You can stab each other!

I just depends on what kind of corsage he buys.

[Ava]

25. suddenly i'm having visions of Carrie

:rofl:

[Odin2005]

14. Prom is overrated.

At least that was my experience. We were watched like hawks so we couldn't run off after the dance to get drunk and have some fun, instead we were required to go home or go to the local youth activities center. :eyes:

[Ava]

22. that's what i've always thought

never really appealed to me. besides, it seems everyone is more interested in the booze filled after-parties.

[Odin2005]

31. And other, as LeftyMom said, "unspeakable activities"!

:rofl:

[Ava]

33. prexactly

[Jamastiene]

37. I knew about the prom and purposely didn't go.

I went out with some friends and we got wasted instead. :evilgrin:

[Odin2005]

39. WOOT!!!

:evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

40. We didn't even have to change clothes to get wasted.

I just couldn't imagine wearing all that finery that has to be kept clean and not torn or ripped or stained for like 2 hours. I'd rather get so fitshaced I wake up nekkid clutching the grass so I won't fall off the Earth. :toast: :smoke:

[Odin2005]

41. LOL!!!

:rofl:
