Just like the title says, I'm not in the Prom court. I know its a childish thing to be sour about, but I can't help it... What can I do? >.<

I'd stage a scene from Henry V You know, maybe the last battle scene, or maybe the battlement scene.

I was wondering that myself. I don't remember my prom having a court. Actually, all I really remember about it is the car we arrived in (a bright red 1938 something-or-other) and then showing off on the dance floor with my friends, who had all taken ballroom dancing lessons. No court anywhere in sight.

Actually, 1938 is coincidentally the year my dad started driving. At 12 years old, his dad taught him to drive so he could drive back from the pub when his dad had drunk too much (which was often).

I suppose that is something that you could be irritated about. I don't know. I haven't had that problem, and probably won't because I won't be nominated for anything. Posts: 6026 | Registered: Dec 2004

I took a girl to the prom. I took her home at the end of prom. During the prom, she ditched me and I didn't see her at all. Posts: 751 | Registered: Apr 2005

If you don't drink, don't intend to have sex, and don't look good in a prom dress or tux, why would you even GO? At least, those are the only things I ever hear anybody talk about from their proms. ("I drank so much I passed out with my head in the toilet!") ("When I found out he had already rented a hotel room I called my Dad for a ride home.") ("Look, how cute we were in this picture of my prom - except for him. I can't remember his name now.")
Here's how you win the REAL event: You don't show anybody the slightest sign that you're disappointed. Instead, you don't talk about YOURSELF at all, to anyone. If you mention prom, you talk about how darling X is and how cool it is that Y got to be king with her.
Then you show up at prom wearing, not the traditional prom dress, but something that looks sleek and truly sophisticated - something Audrey Hepburn might have worn in Charade. Or, if you don't have the body to bring off "sleek," then wear a nun's habit and then dance your brains out.
The only thing anyone will remember from the dance is you. Especially if you're a guy.

We don't have proms in Canada that I know of. But for grad, which I didn't go to, the invites read "Fancy dress." Well, one of the bisexual punk guys interpreted it quite literally. And showed up in a fancy dress.
I hear his shaved legs were quite sexy.

Oh, yeah I did. I wore a cocktail butterfly dress that was just to die for. It was quite fetching, especially with the beaded life jacket.

I had a great prom. I went with my best friend, Doug. I still have the dress, it was classy and I've worn it since. We had a lot of fun.
So I'd recommend relaxing and trying to have fun... that way maybe you'll remember it favorably a decade or so from now. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

I skipped the prom and went instead to the after-prom. Did anyone else have those? It was from about 1 AM to 5 AM. Just a bunch of casino games where you win fake money. Then you use the fake money to buy raffle tickets which you use to try to win prizes. I won a tie-dye flip chair my junior year and a basket of candles my senior year. I'm just lucky like that.

I had a wonderful time at my junior prom, and afterward was exhausted, and fell asleep in a chair at my after-prom. People decorated me with vegetables from the buffet table.
If anyone knows where those pictures are, please let me know. I don't want to burn them or anything... I just never saw them.

I think I've actually got a good body and the dress I'm wearing is well...sexy. Its a pink one I got from Robinson's May. I got the most gorgeous shoes ever yesterday, and I'm now in the hunt for jewelery. BTW, its all carnation pink. Oh! and does anyone know where I can get a boutonneire?(is that how you spell it?) I know my date gets me a crosage, but its not until recently that I was informed of the other thingy.

I never went to any of my proms. I remember having had some fantastic dates on the nights of my proms, but I never actually went to the dances.

If yo count the two I went to freshman year of college, I went to 19 high school formal dances (i.e. proms, snowflake dances, spring formals, etc.). I was a popular rent-a-date for friends and foafs who didn't have a date (oh, and I got around in high school). I had a blast at each one.
The prom should be about you and your date. Making it about other people is a good way to have a miserable prom.

I always had my monthly visitor during prom, and I didn't feel beautiful or sexy at all. And I went with the abusive boyfriend, so I didn't have any fun and dreaded after-prom. Nope. No good memories of prom night.
No, I take that back. The food was good.

During difficult times when some disappointment has hit me, I sometimes take myself aside, so to speak, and ask myself this soul-searching question: What Would Fifty-Cent Do? (tm)
