Poll: Did you go to your senior prom?

My school didn't have one and I was quite happy about that. I wouldn't have had anyone to ask to it so this way I avoided something that would have made me feel lonely.

Instead of prom, we (meaning my group of friends and I) went to a sci-fi convention. They had a midnight dance with Dr. Demento as the DJ.

I can't think of a single reason why going to prom would have been better than that :-D

it was a "just friends" date.

ETA: but prom was on my 18th birthday. beforehand, we had decided to split all the costs and when it came time, he surprised me and paid for everything! :D

it would have been rather romantic if..you know..he was into girls :D

Well, when I was a sophomore, I went to my girlfriend's senior prom. Then, in my junior year, I attended a school that only had a senior prom, then in my senior year, I transferred to a school that only had a junior prom. But I went to *A* prom...

Ditto.

I went to my senior prom with someone on this site! Hee. Mr. Paul Beasi!

yup-yup

even if I'd been able to get a date in high school, I kind of hated the thought of prom. it just seems like one of those lame high school social contests that I really didn't need, like senior superlatives and class elections.

I don't regret missing mine. in fact, I'm glad I did. It would have been an utter waste of my time.

*envy*

I hate proms, I hate people from my high school, and my b/f at the time was @ college in CA. I went to see a movie with my friend and then we crashed the post-prom party @ some health club...velcro suits, moon bounces, and food are my idea of a fun night!

It amuses me that this is our third prom poll over the years. So we've had these same answers before. :)

omg. that rocks so hard. :)

everyone knows my story--i stayed at home, in my room, in the dark, and listened to automatic for the people over and over again. angst, woe, tragedy.

and i submitted two of those polls. see, kids? this is what happens if you don't go to prom--you spend the rest of your life making up prom-related surveys for online communities. :P

Technically, I went stag, but I spent the whole night with Jesse Berglund.

Yeah, I knew about him even then.

Neither my g/f nor I had any interest at all.

We did, however, go to the after-party... which was in a big field full of tents and involved lots of food, alcohol and other illegal substances, despite it being a town-sponsored event. :D

It was good times.
The prom, from what I heard, was boring and stupid, which is exactly why i didn't go. hehe

our "safe and sane" graduation party was all about the moonbounce. and lynyrd skynyrd's greatest hits. good lord, am i glad i'm out of fredneck.

Didn't go to prom, wasn't all that interested in going much at all, but I did go out to see a Kiss of the Spider Woman: The Musical on Broadway with my sister that night. I also got to try some of her sloe gin fizz during dinner.

is that guy still single? :)

i have no idea! :D i havent talked to him in years. :)

What is the moonbounce? That giant air filled matress that little kids play on?

As for the music at least when someone shouted out "Freebird" they could play it.

I have actually joined communities just to make up prom polls. It's very sad.

I went to my prom, with another dateless female friend, and actually had a surprisingly good time, as I recall. Getting all dolled up and dancing and then party-hopping, while not my usual style, can be fun occasionally. :)
