We put the jukebox on, and danced down the isles (wrong one, oh well). better music on that box than there ever was at my prom. after the diner, we regrouped and went camping. had a wonderful time. wouldnt have been possible wholly without the prom, but basically ended up like every other weekend i had in high school - getting drunk in the woods. pretty dull small-town-anywhere stuff. my freinds at home still do it. damned if i know why - theyre all over 21 and have apartments, etc etc. oh yeah. and i didnt really like my date at all, even as a friend. almost got beat up for going with him, some dumb girl liked him and she had some violent tendencies Now - Prom in TX sting ties and cowboy hats. 1000 people and i knew 2. need i say more? oh yeah, and i didnt have a date. not that i wouldve liked him, since i didnt really care for many of my friend's friends. too creepy. and me saying this...well.... yeah. karen "i dont have a sig but am going to conform": muzzulin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 17:01:36 +0900 From: Katie Hariman Subject: Re: prom or fruvous?, now how many questions have I posed?

My senior prom (Lexington High School, Lexington, MA; about 1,300 students, has a freshman "thing", a sophomore dance cruise, a junior prom, and a senior prom; no 'Homecoming'), in 1994 (I'm not *that* far removed from the situation!), I wore a dress I designed that Mom and I made. Total cost: about $85. At least half was for getting freakin' shoes dyed-to-match. I simply couldn't fathom (much less afford) paying more than $100 for a dress I might only wear once. just a perspective! - - Kate Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 21:11:02 GMT From: CheesemonkeyGem Subject: Re: prom or Fruvous Screw the prom!
