I graduated at 17 too... I'm 41 now. We can be alienated together.

Can I come, too? I turned 41 in March.

tiresiastheblond absolutely! And we can have junior members too because we're too old to be picky. Hahaha

1) What year was your SR Prom? I didn't go to senior prom. I did Junior prom and figured I'd gotten the idea.

2) Who was your date? Just a friend.

3) Did you go with a group or fly solo? A group. We all went out to dinner first. I traded shoes (one from each) with my two best friends for some reason.

4) What was your prom theme? Don't remember. Our class voted for "New Jack City," but for some reason the administration felt that was inappropriate.

5) What did you wear? (bonus points for pictures!) A dress my mom actually made when I couldn't find anything I liked. It was black velvet and kind of burgundy taffeta.

6) What did you do after prom? Did your school have an event? I don't think the school had an event. I think we hung out in the hot tub at someone's house.

7) Was there a particular prom related tradition at your school/in your region? No, that that I remember.

8) Did ya get lucky God, no.

9) What do you think of the current trend of "promposals"? God, no.

ETA graduated in 92.  I'm an old.

This whole thread makes me smile. I was feeling nostalgic about high school this weekend since I graduated Memorial Day weekend (actually, 17 years ago yesterday).

Anyway...I did not go to prom. Absolutely no desire to go. My college had an admitted students weekend the same weekend as prom, and I went to that instead. A few people told me I'd look back and regret not going to prom, but all these years later...nope, can't say that I do.

1) What year was your SR Prom? 1995

2) Who was your date? I went with girlfriends because I was too awkward around guys.

3) Did you go with a group or fly solo? Group

4) What was your prom theme? "Once Upon a Time." I'd like to think that this theme was selected because of me. I recommended this Moody Blues song for my freshman prom. I doubt they played the Moody Blues at the prom. BTW, I am a geek.

5) What did you wear? (bonus points for pictures!) A plain, thigh-length white dress with petals on it.

6) What did you do after prom? I don't remember.

7) Was there a particular prom related tradition at your school/in your region? No

8) Did ya get lucky? I didn't get lucky until I was 21. (refer to answer two)

9) What do you think of the current trend of "promposals"? I'm wasn't familiar with promposals, but they are really sweet.
