Confess- Prom: Did you behave yourself?

[LaraMN]

Or did you spend the next morning at a laundromat, like me?

[XNASA]

1. Did you have to do......

The 'Walk of Shame'?

[LaraMN]

4. No. I was kept on a pretty loose leash, at home.

Whether or not that was a good thing...:shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

2. I behaved myself AT prom.

I had to be careful to avoid her dad for the next week, though...just in case.

:evilgrin:

Draw your own conclusions. :hide:

(Didn't end up having to go the laundromat, though. :))

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. You must've danced a *lot*

if your clothes were so sweaty that you had to wash them so soon.




:crazy:

[LaraMN]

8. #1: Not my clothes, my date's. #2: Not sweat.

:P

[dpbrown]

19. How did you keep your clothes clean?

:shrug:

[LaraMN]

22. Hah!

Just, "Hah!"

[WCGreen]

34. He couldn't last till ya got Nakid.....

Or did he hurl....

My guess is hurl....

[Left Is Write]

5. Yes, I did.

In fact, when I went to my senior prom, my parents were away for the weekend (my sister was graduating from college the same day as my prom), and they gave me PERMISSION to stay out all night. I asked them what the fun was in staying out all night while they were away if they gave me permission to do so. ;)

Anyway, we watched movies at my boyfriend's house until about 3:00am, then he dropped me off at home, where I stayed alone and went to sleep alone.

[LaraMN]

9. I hope my kids are like you!

The likelihood of that is probably minimal at best.

[Left Is Write]

13. No...

you don't want them to have the same reasons for my "good behavior" that I had. (I was attacked by a date in December of my senior year and remained fearful of too much intimacy for a long time afterward. Luckily, I started dating a very sweet guy who understood me.)

[LeftyMom]

6. No.

Actually I did something exceedingly naughty *at* prom. :blush:

[LaraMN]

10. Please tell me Leftykid was not conceived at your prom.

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

12. God no.

I'll have you know that prom was on my 16th birthday and I remained a my Catholic teenager virgin on a technicality status for most of the next year. O8)

LeftyKid was not concieved until I reached the ripe old age of 19 and my taste in men had imporved somewhat.

[Left Is Write]

15. My taste in men was conspicuously absent...

during the three-plus years I spent with my X (my oldest daughter was conceived when I was just 20).

[LeftyMom]

17. Let's just say my taste had no option but to improve

Well I suppose it could have got worse, were I to have become one of those women who write to murderers on death row with marriage proposals, but my high school boyfriend was really quite scummy. LeftyKid's Dad is a good guy, he just wasn't the right guy for me. :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Exceedingly naughty, eh?

Do tell. :evilgrin:

[kay1864]

25. Yes, was this, er...

internly behavior?






Where IS that drooly smiley...

[LeftyMom]

27. Kinda

but one of those things that it's definitely better to recieve than give. :evilgrin:

[kay1864]

30. So you received but didn't give?

And *still* got a ride home? :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

32. If he minded, he wouldn't have been my date.

:evilgrin:

[NNadir]

7. I did not behave myself.

When I think back on the trouble I could have gotten into, it scares me.

It was pre-Roe v. Wade.

[Left Is Write]

16. You've reminded me...

My aunt (a nurse) used to work at a clinic whose services included abortion. She said every July, without fail, they'd get a crop of "prom night girls" in.

[NNadir]

40. Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

It's kind of sad in a way, but thank goodness your aunt was there for those girls.

My life could have been ruined on that night. It's sobering to remember that and what those times were like.

[timber84]

11. My sister actually booked my hotel room for me, what a great

sister!

[Crazy Dave]

14. Didn't go, got dumped.

[LiberalEsto]

18. Didn't go: prom was too bourgeois for me

I was becoming a hippie in my senior year (1969).

At my suggestion, instead of wasting money on a dress and corsage and tux, my bf and I drove to NY State (where the drinking age was 18) in his truck, and he got us a couple of six packs. We drove back to NJ, feeling too utterly cool compared to those dippy little rah-rahs who went to the prom.

I've never regretted skipping the prom.

[no name no slogan]

20. Never went

The only reason I ever went to school events (i.e., like football games) was to help my friend, the biggest weed dealer in the school, do bidness. And get high afterwards, of course.

[flvegan]

23. Oh, hell no.

I behaved myself at the actual prom, but afterwards, it was stoplight drag racing to the afterparty for drinking and debauchery. I admit, though, that I was among the last to leave, as I stayed to help clean up.

[TimeChaser]

24. I was a *very* good girl at prom and after

My date and I came home and played videogames. He spent the night and we went to an amusement park the next day.

I'm still dating him, too :loveya:

[SOteric]

26. It was hard not to behave.

My date was so nervous about going out with me that he yarked over dinner. We didn't actually make it to the prom.

[wildhorses]

28. my prom night was perhaps the best night of my life and

that is all I have to say about that!

[miss_american_pie]

29. Which prom, mine or his?

:evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

31. My "Grad" sucked ass - and it's all my fault

I was, for the longest time not going to go. I just wasn't interested. Then someone told me, "Hey, you may as well go to see what happens."
I decided to go, and literally bought the last ticket.
Because of that, I had no date, no limo, no nothing.
So, I followed my friends around in my car, with a pack of smokes, that was my only indulgement on grad night. At around two in the orning I decided I was bored and went home.

[6000eliot]

33. Didn't go. Didn't graduate.

Quit in the 10th grade.

[mwooldri]

47. Didn't go either. Or graduate. Got 'A' levels though.

Does that count?

[Deja Q]

35. Who'd want me?

:D

[GalleryGod]

36. Hell,Yes! A Gentleman & A Scholar

And 4 different times (four different proms)the "Day After" was not the Jersey Shore but none other than NYC...the Village in the late 60's...nothin' like it!:hippie:

[Catch22Dem]

37. Nope, got fucked up, got laid, got in a car wreck.

That pretty much sums it up.

[NewWaveChick1981]

38. No, I didn't.

:P Went to the prom for about an hour and ended up back at his place... (You figure the rest out!) And it was my 18th birthday, too.

[Ava]

39. haven't been to a prom

[jukes]

46. Ava, just you behave

when you do go to a prom, then!

[Ava]

49. well i homeschool

so unless i get a date with a guy who goes to the school here then i won't be going to prom.

however, i don't think i'll be missing out on much!

[jukes]

50. not really

they're dull & tacky. it's the anticipation of "adventuring" that makes it special, and that5's usu a disappointment, too.

[Missy Vixen]

41. Yes, because I'm just that boring

I went with the valedictorian of our class, who is so brilliant that by our senior year, he was taking one class a day at the high school -- the rest of the day was spent in his college classes. His parents insisted that he actually finish his senior year as a student of our high school, instead of simply graduating early. In those days, it was almost unheard of to either graduate early or to do the "running start" thing.

I was the only high-school age girl in our neighborhood. The neighbors I babysat for all had to show up at my parents' to help me get ready. :blush:

Imagine two nerdy people out on the town :scared:. Actually, we had a great time. He's a wonderful person. I'm so glad I went with him, to this day.

Julie
can I say again how much I LOVE brilliant, funny, self-assured, thoughtful men? ;-)

[StellaBlue]

42. Not at all.

Cops came to our party, the exchange student from Argentina hid in the attic out of fear of being deported, there was naked swimming, walked across the lawn of a family having a nice quiet breakfast in their breakfast nook at 6am carrying my shoes and a bottle of wine, and the hostess's father said about me, "Who's that having sex on my couch?".

It was a blast.

[GirlinContempt]

43. "Prom"?

What is this... prom?

[nemo137]

44. I got ditched by my date, then puked on.

I spent the whole night sober, babysitting for my overly drunk friend.

Fuck prom. I want a do-over.

[u4ic]

45. Before my grad

my b/f and I split up, so I had a last minute date...a gay male friend.

Not_much_happened...;-)

[jukes]

48. i never behaved

after my sophomore year. i was a rascal.
