prom is a huge waste of money. at least it was when i was in highschool. i went to my freshman prom only because some older female friends at work all wanted to go to my school's prom and needed the same number of male dates. it just so happened the number of males at work that winter who attended my schoolw as the same as the number of girls wishing to attend.

the other guys kept trying to get in the pants of their much older (they were seniors, we were freshman and sophomores) and completely uninterested dates. i knew my damn place (plus my date wasn't exactly a looker).

the dance was boring and played crappy music, prom court was figured out by randomly handing out roses and hwoever got red ones were princes or princesses and whoever got yellow were king and queen, everyone else got white. then since my school got money from SADD they had an after prom party (mandatory for ALL attending, no matter what) they put us all on a bus, drove us an hour to some hotel and made us stay there until 6am where they put us back on the bus an dbrough us back to the school.

and that was the only prom i went to.

Yes and my blood type is 0 negative.

Anything else you want to know, social security number maybe.

Trust me, you wouldn't have regretted not going.

Amen. I was homeschooled, and while we did have something similar to a prom for Juniors, I think only about 10 people showed up out of the 50 families in the group I was involved with. It wasn't that big a deal to us.

Another public school scam; Senior Rings. Whatever you do, don't go through your public school to buy them, they will RIP YOU OFF. I was able to get my senior ring for $50 at Wal-Mart, and it was the same Chrome-Vanadium metal and pseudo realistic gemstone that my older sisters paid $300 bucks for in Highschool.

School rings make great pawn items for later in life. I'm wearing my college one now.

I'm wearing two ivy league rings, an SCSU key necklace and knuckles crackers that spell "THE DRUNK" when I tap my fists together.

But yeah, prom. Woohoo. We made it a party and almost paid dearly for it. The venue that was hosting the dinner actually threatened to end the night early if ONE more person was seen pulling from their flask.

The best part was when the queen chugged the rest of hers after being crowned, but before the royal dance. Priceless.

And oh yeah, guess who is the convicted murderer in this pic!

I wore my high school ring for a long time. It had a picture of a Confederate soldier on one face, which I always thought was delightfully Southern.

Third guy from the right, the guy who only his head is showing.

But if you're serious, I'm going with Mortified; dude in the blue shirt.

Mine had a knight on it. We didn't have an organized sports team at time, I just thought the knight logo was cool. That, and my mother was heavy into my dad's medevil genealogy at the time, kept finding knights killed in battle and that sort of crap...

My dad bears a striking resemblance to his ancestor Edward Longshanks, though. It's weird.

Here's your prize! *bigglefies*

and you just wanted to say 'Longshanks'

I REALLY need help.
How do you remove U3 software from a flash drive? I've been trying to gooogle up the info, but dammit... no luck.

I got a KILLER deal on a 2 gig SanDisk flashie thingie-- Saved 50 bucks on it because I lost my other one at the library. I'm still sad about my other flash drive because it had so much works that I didn't back up. Lesson Plans. Essays. Pics.

All gone because nobody called me to return it, or leave it at the Lost and Found.
I know because a librarian told me he saw it and saw somebody taking it after I came back to find it.

God, I hope there's karma...
But anyways...
annoying U3 software. How to remove it? SanDisk doesn't have a number or a link with that info.

I did have a prom date. I was suggesting an alternative course of action involving alcohol.

So... you didn't have a prom date? You're ugly. Laff.

Anyway. What's this deal with limousines and tuxedos and expensive shit for proms?
Hotel rooms, champagne, condoms?

It's ten miles to our highschool.

There's very big space differences.

You're missing the point here. All of the people in that picture are murderers, hence the fraternaty that's not for other's to grasp.

Walk it off, you pansy.

You people are like--
"Oh no! Ten miles! I must use a car! Then I'll drive to the shop across the corner in my private jet! Our schools have functioning bathrooms! Our colleges have dorms! Our water doesn't contain trace amounts of sewerage! We believe that a monthly salary of $2000 is fairly low! Waah wah wah!"

Sheesh. Grow a spine, the whole lot of you.

Hey, man. You don't know how hard it is to have to lace up a $200 pair of sneakers, walk all the way out to a brand new car, and drive the five minutes to a state-of-the-art high school where they will spend the whole day wasting their education and chatting online. Then, to add insult to injury, they have to go to college!

Also, enough of the malvinas march, let's put something that represents my personality better.

My school's 2 miles away, and I walk.
My English Teacher's house is 3 miles away, and I walk.
My German Teacher's house is 3 miles away, and I walk.

The city flooded the other day, and what I was doing? I was walking to English: raincoats.

i live on the other side of town from my college. i walk most days. my fiance refuses to walk (must be a female thing....) and if she's going in, i'd grab a ride (since she's going anyway ^_^)

but i like the walk, it gives me time to myself during the week

I like the walk because I have time to think and become crazier.
