Your High School Prom

ph4ever · Post by **ph4ever** » April 29, 2005 10:10 am

In my high school the really "cool" kids didn't go to prom. My b/f at the time refused to go. Looking back he really wasn't that cool. When my son went to his Sr Prom reciently I made him tell me all about it so I could at least live vicarously thru him for a few minutes

Duh!

Nobody messed with me. But Cubbie's right to a degree... I was taller than 98% of my high school and the tall dudes all had cheerleader girlfriends. I wasn't really dating anyone at the time and there wasn't a pool of available guys to solicit a date from so I didn't end up going. I went to my friend's house and we drank and smoked pot all night. Then we got up and went to Cedar Point the next day. I'm not all that disappointed. My 10 year reunion is this summer... maybe I'll see some of the dudes that passed me up back then... and laugh at them

Homecoming is what I used to hate. I never had time to wind down after the game, and then I had to go to some dance p*** off 2 of the 4 times because we lost the game.

if your 10 year reunion is anything like mine was you most definately will. I had this one guy, oh I had a crush on him bigtime, come up to me and started telling me how great I look and how hot I was and how I haven't changed at all since high school. All I could do was look at him and laugh and say "well if I was so hot in high school how come you never asked me out" And some of the guys that were so cute in high school really didn't age well at all.

maybe that's why a lot of the schools here have the dance the next night

My husband lived down the road a bit in Rome City for a few years. I tried to move over there with him, but only lasted 2 weeks. It was too small town for me. It was also strange sitting on the front porch drankin watching a horse and buggy go by.

Friends from back home thought they were seeing things!

The guy I went to my senoir prom with came out of the closet a few months later.

I had no clue at the time, but everyone else claims they could tell he batted for the other team. (Not that there's anything wrong with that....)

Last I heard, he is now a singer/dancer on a cruise ship somewhere.

I lived in the Mountains. We had Saturday morning games. Nobody wanted to play in McCall in the evening.

Yep, Rome City is part of my 'hood... although I lived a few miles east of Amish country where you frequently see buggies. (state road 3 seems to be some kind of border for them

)

I made it through 18 years in that place. I don't mind going home to the lake and visiting my parents, but you could never get me to move back there!

Prom... I went with a guy who was just a really good friend, but I ended up driving cause he had gotten into a car accident a couple of days before. My parents "accidentally" had reservations at the same restuarant (and happened to sit at the next table over) and my 3 year old cousin threw a temper tantum because she wasn't allowed to sit on my lap.

At my ten year reunion this kinda hot chick walked up to me and said, "You don't remember me do you, I'm___________ and you made my life a living hell. I was a little heavy (Editors note: No you were a 400 lb freakin' lard a$$) and you and your friends picked on me constantly. I just want you to know what an A$$ you were and how much I hate your guts."

She then went to about 8 other guys, repeating the same story and walked out. My guess is some shrink told her to come to the reunion and clense herself. Little did she know all she did was provide comic relief

I never got to go to any proms or dances (went to an all girls school, was a bookwork, didn't get out all that much), so I always felt like I missed out on something. But everyone I've ever asked always says I didn't. Is that really true?

OK, my mind is wandering. I am picturing the girl on the step stool in the library. Hair up, big glasses. You peek over the top of your glasses, then toss them aside. Pull the clip from your hair and shake it loose.........Oh god I love books

Not even a twinge of remorse, eh?

I took my then-21 year old boyfriend to my senior prom (easy access to alcohol), then a bunch of us drove down the shore, drank all night and hung out on the beach. There was some fooling around involved somewhere along the line.

I was a complete spaz in high school, and still have no luck with women, so I never went to homecoming or prom. I do remember one year my friends and I spent the night in someone's basement playing DnD, drinking Mt. Dew and eating Cheetos. Yes, I really was THAT geeky.

Funny reunion story.

The weekend of my 10 year reunion coincided with a yearly golf tournament that my one of my best friends dad has with all his friends and now the second generation. Our reunion was one of those friday night - sunday things and Saturday was the golf tournament in the next town. During the Saturday festivities, my wife actually let me go golf if another of my buddies (Who is married to my wifes best friend from high-school) could get his wifes permission to go. I convinced her to let him go, and off we went for a day of golf/drinking/more drinking. After the tournament, we went back to continue the reunion stuff, but a few of our other buddies wanted to join in on the fun as well Well, my wife was one of the organizers and when calling people to see if they were going to attend, she got ahold of one dudes mom who said "He's in prison and probably won't be able to make it" So when my other friends came to crash the party one of them wore that guys name tag......

So he is out on the dance floor and this ginormous woman comes up to him and says "Chris, do you remember who I am?" My buddy (Who's name is Jeff said "No" She then proceded to start yelling something about "That night" not meaning anything.

I was rolling on the floor.

Swear to god this is true...My senior prom I'm dating a Jr. (always go for the young ones) I go with a friend and his date to share the cost of the limo. She was from a school close by so I had never met her. They get into a huge fight at the prom I get her drunk in the limo out in the lot along with my girlfriend (I can't help being a nice guy

). We all go back into the prom continue our evening. Her boyfriend is nowhere to be found and she's totally fine leaving him there, if he's even still there. We leave in the limo and the girls start making out with each other!!! They were just a tad drunk. One thing leads to another and we wind up "riding around" for a couple of hours in the limo!!! Thank god for 10 hr. minimums on limos!

He was only slightly p*** when he found out what had happened.

And you guys skipped your proms.
