Prom!!

I would change my date. He was a POS who slapped me across the face for no reason. Great times, great times.

I hope you kicked him in the naughty place!!!

No, I didn't I was in total shock. Went to the wash room to check it out and I had a perfect hand print on my face. Let me just say, this was a 6'2" man hand so it covered practically the whole side of my face. My guy friends were pissed when I finally told them a few days later at our prom cottage.

I would actually go. The 'rents wouldn't let me go to junior prom which was the awesomest prom ever so out of protest I skipped the senior prom. Looking back though, I wish I had gone.

I didn't go, so maybe if I did it different I would still not go but do something different than I did that night.

I would go this time I was a bit of a geek and stayed home... a lot has changed.

This. Plus I think I was working my first job that day and didn't want to ruin anything. ;P

I'd be way skinnier (I was 5lbs smaller than my heaviest at my prom) and I would go alone rather than with a date, my *kitten* of an ex is in half the pictures so I never use them Oh and I'd probably drink beforehand hahaha.

What a giant monkey asshat!! Did that actually happen at prom? That just makes me want to find him and punch him in his giblets!!

Happened right on the dance floor.

prom was awesome.


i actually threw a "prom" party for my friends a few years back. I rented out city hall, got a liquor license, dj, photographer, everything. i think i spent aounr $2k to throw a party, but holy crap, it was a good party.


and what did i do differently than what i did from my first prom? i wore panties this time.

Wow! You are like a super awesome friend!!

Looking back at the pics of my junior prom, I would change the HAIRDO! :noway: :noway: :noway: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

I would have made the hugest scene ever, and called the cops and had him dragged out of there by his nutsack!!

You know, prom really sucked, but even so - it created memories that we still look back on and laugh about today! I went with my best male friend, and we're still in touch. When I met his wife-to-be, that was one of the first stories we had to tell her about - prom night! When they got married, there were young kids at our table who were fascinated by the fact that we'd been friends for 30 years at that time, and as kids do, they wanted to hear stories about what we were like as kids - so the first story to tell them? Prom night!

Long story short (oh, who am I kidding?), spring of 1981, my best friend Bobby asked me to go to the prom. He was head over heels in love with a girl named Dawn who he just didn't have the nerve to ask. I was head over heels in love with a guy named Fred who didn't even know I existed. One week before prom, he says, "Okay, this is ridiculous - I'm too scared to ask Dawn, and Fred isn't going to ask you, so let's just go together!" Okay - plan settled.

My sister got married the year before, so I still had my maid of honor gown, with dyed to match shoes, in the closet - perfect, instant prom outfit! Bobby's dad happened to own his own tux, and they were the same size, so that took care of that.

Since we got our tickets with one week left to spare, we couldn't pick what table we were at - this will be very important later!

So as bad luck would have it, the night before prom, we had to have our beloved cat Hobo put to sleep. I was sobbing, totally beside myself. So the next night at the prom, I was so depressed over Hobo, I didn't even want to dance! We danced to ONE song (still remember it too - "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson). Bobby still laughs about it to this day when we get to that part of the story - "The cat HAD to die the night before prom! He couldn't have held out another couple of days, nooo!"

So our table - since we had no choice of where to sit, we were placed at a table with two seats left, FILLED with popular kids who couldn't stand us! Bobby and I? Drama club geeks!

Now all you ladies know how it's a huge no-no to show up in the same dress as another girl? Yup! My leftover MOH gown from the year before was the EXACT same gown as one of the popular girls AT OUR TABLE!!! Truly, it was one of the moments of the night where I did laugh - she wanted to murder me!

Plus, we nearly got into BIG trouble coming in - one of the chaperones was this teacher we couldn't stand, who we had a very mean imitation of. Bobby did the imitation under his breath just as we entered prom, and she overheard us!!! :noway: Luckily, she let it slide.

So all things considered - no, it was far from a perfect night, but the fact that we still get mileage out of this story 32 years later is great!

I LOVED my prom, id deffo do it again wouldnt change a thing :happy:

Junior year -- would have argued with my date less & enjoyed it more, but over all wouldn't change anything.
Seniro year -- different dress. Mine was awful! And, of course, would have been skinnier.

I stayed home and played video games. I wouldn't change a thing.

I would change my date. He was a POS who slapped me across the face for no reason. Great times, great times.

I hope you kicked him in the naughty place!!!

I'm telling you. If that had happened to me, it would have been the prom to remember! I definitely would have hit him back or told my friends or broke some stuff. But I'm just reactionary and impulsive like that. Not that you did anything wrong at all. But... ooh wee, if it had been me, it would have been ON!!

I wouldn't change anything to the three I went too. They were all fun for me and my date(s).
