PROM STORIES!!

Okay, this thread is a place to think back and remember that glorous event called PROM! Post prom stories, memories, etc...

I will, of course, start with mine - a condensed version, anyway. I went with my gay best friend. We had dinner at a fabulous Italian place beforehand. Prom itself was lame - bad outfits, bad cover band, freezing cold. We left early and changed for the afterprom, the theme of which was Mardi Gras. We wore matching "When You Got It, Flaunt It!" show shirts. We stayed at that for all of twenty minutes, then went to a truck stop Waffle House and got stared at by truckers with no teeth. Good, good times.

re: PROM STORIES!!

I spent a chunk of my first prom watching "Fellowship of the Ring" in a seedy hotel room. Then I made out with an old friend at my date's house. The second prom, I gained a boyfriend, and the third one I lost him. Weird.

re: PROM STORIES!!

My prom is next week so we'll have to wait and see how that one goes, but since I have a boyfriend this time and not just a guy who is a friend to go with I'm sure it'll be ten times better.

When I was a sophomore two years ago I went with a friend because he didn't have a date and I agreed. He picked me up in a very long car(it wasn't a limo, but rather close) and we went to dinner down on the waterfront. Then after dinner we had about an hour and a half to kill so we walked along the pier and window shopped. Then we got on the boat and had a pretty good time. It was freezing though and when I told him so he gave me his jacket but persisted to say he was freezing. Of course the guy is supposed to give the lady his jacket, but please for the love of God do not complain yourself about being cold(mostly kidding about don't complain though). That was also the night I got my first kiss(didn't kiss back of course didn't share the same feelings) and it wasn't the best, but still. Overall a very nice evening, but this year will be so much better. I got a cuter date this time too. :)

re: PROM STORIES!!

My prom sucked. The only thing I liked about it was my dress, and the fact that we got a ride from one of the fire fighters my dad works with in his bright yellow mustang convertable.
My "date" was compleatly clueless. We get to our table, he pats me on the shoulder, and says "hey... i'm going to go mingle. see you at dinner." and left. He came back to the table only long enough to eat his steak, and then was off again. He was such a looser.
I have another prom coming up soon... the Hartford Queer Prom re: PROM STORIES!!! I have a feeling this one will be better. And my date is so NOT a looser... she rules. re: PROM STORIES!! yay!

...I just remember that my prom theme was "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with..." It always seemed a little cheap to me.

re: PROM STORIES!!

Went to 4...first was with an older boyfriend when I was 15. One of the worst nights of my life, and I looked like a lamp shade. 2 in junior year, both with my best friend (we went to different schools). His kinda sucked, I spent all of mine crying b/c I was one of *those* annoying girls. Went with him again to my senior prom (he was way closer with my friends), and it was one of the best nights ever. I had the hottest red dress and heels, and he and I finally hooked up that weekend. Good times, still best friends after 6 years. My junior prom theme was This Is The Time To Remember, and my senior was I Will Remember You.

re: PROM STORIES!!

went to five....all a blur, one was themed 'Days of Future Past'....
only things I remember, my date ordering Cherries Jubilee, and me yelling to the waiter that it was on fire. Another one.....going to Farrells Ice Cream parlour AFTER the prom......and making a total ass out of myself.

The 5th prom was in Karlsruhe, in the then West Germany. I was in the military, and dating a senior at Karlsruhe American HS. I took her to her Senior Prom at the officers Club. It was a wonderful night. I remember having a powder blue tux......and she was in pink (I HATE pink)........probably my last real date with a woman before totally coming out. She was a real sweetie....

re: PROM STORIES!!

4 and 1/2 proms. None of them were memorable, except for the 2 that were at the Buffalo Armory. My senior prom there was bumped by (Buffalo Bills Quarterback) Jim Kelly's wedding. So many nooks and crannies at the Armory.

re: PROM STORIES!!

I missed my prom in order to attend a rehearsal for "Oklahoma!" I remember we were staging "Kansas City" that evening.

re: PROM STORIES!!

The first prom odd, I went with my really crappy boyfriend, my strap broke (no bra) and my friend decided it would be funny to pull my top down and let me pull a janet jackson (luckily no one except a few close friends saw anything). The second prom I had two dates. My two best guy friends, I had two corsages and ended up having a blast. I loved it

Luckily I missed both of my proms...I was singing at the All-State Festival! I did go to 3 other high schools proms....had a great time, probably because i didnt know anyone!
