Today's the day for Blog Prom linkage. Or not.
Tell me your best Prom story, and by "best", that doesn't necessarily mean good. Because as evidenced by last year's post roundup, some of the best stories are the ones where everything went HORRIBLY wrong. And I'm only sorry I don't have a Prom story like that, because I think I would do it justice in the retelling.
If you want to write a post about it, please email me the link when it's live.
However, I did find out yesterday that some bloggers are in a virtual Witness Protection Program and will be leaving their Prom horror story here because they're worried their date will come back and kick their ass. I fully support your need to leave your story here instead of on your own blog, so readers, make sure you read the comments because there might be some real gems in the bunch!
If you are storyless for today, you could jump in on my usual haiku challenge and make up a Prom story or do a haiku about how awesome you think I am and what a wonderful job I did decorating with streamers and balloons.
THE STORIES:
- Gina complains about her boobs
- This one would not fit in that song 1985 - uh, no way.
- Golfwidow's Prom story is the funnier version of the Basic Instinct scene where Sharon Stone shows...well, you know.
- Tim's date picked him up because he had no license. And the fear of dancing. Just go read it.
- Amy got stuck in the bathroom, literally, for real.
- BlondeMom rocked the strapless gown, and went on to play the leading role in Beer Swilling College Girl Leaves Pining Hometown Boyfriend Behind
- Poor Edge...awkward
- Wish there was a picture, Nikki, because nothing says "formal" like an up do and jeans
- Florinda says she was a wallflower

At my prom my date and I went to a class motel (Motel 6) and LOCKED THE KEYS IN HIS CAR.
Panic at the disco. For real.
A couple of my friends and our dates went to dinner before the dance. Two of my girlfriends began fighting over nothing, threw water on each other, and ended up in the bathroom crying. All before we even got to prom. It was hilarious!
I'll have to leave my story here since no one is reading my blog (so behind on my posts because of 30 days, 30 people).
Anyhoo, my junior prom I decided I looked too WHITE in my WHITE flowy and frilly prom dress so I got the BRIGHT idea to pull out my mom's old sun lamp. I put on the dinky eye shades and chilled with it facing my face & shoulders & chest. Yeah, you know what's coming, I went to prom a little lobstery, well let's just call it RED from cleavage up to my forehead. It was embarrassing cause I had to tell the story over and over again. I lived and learned that lesson.
Another time we double dated with another couple and went to this fancy dancy restaurant and like dumb teenagers didn't count up our purchases and compare with the money in our wallets/purses. Our bill came to just over $100 for four of us (obviously this is w/o drinks) and the poor waitress was lucky to get about a $5 tip off us. We were scraping the barrel for change to pay up. Sad eh?
Hey! I finally posted...

My story is up!

My prom stories are so pathetic.
Senior year I was so tired of being rejected by this guy who I was *in love* with that by the time prom rolled around, I just asked my gay best friend to go with me. And then the Mad Rejector got all pissy with me. Like he was disappointed that he didn't get the opportunity to make me fell 2 inches tall...AGAIN. Absolutely nothing interesting happened at Prom.
I probably mentioned this last year, but Junior year I got dumped about 2 weeks before Prom and didn't go. That year I also got dumped right before Valentine's Day and my birthday. By the same guy.
So, I'm working on mine. Since I'm officially AT the prom even though I acted like I was not coming, can you email me the code for the cool prom button?
My proms were fun, enjoyable, and perfect, so my stories are boring.
My friend Margaret brought her manager from Del Taco as her date. He was older, sophisticated, and so good-looking he was pretty. Yep, he was gay. Later, when he parked the car in a dark, private area, they had a good five-minute giggle when he took a condom out of his wallet.
As if!
I had to beg my boyfriend to take me to Prom. I broke down crying told him that it wasn't fair that I was on the decorating committee and wouldn't even be able to go. Finally guilted him into it.
And my dress was a bridesmaid's dress from the year before. And it was fugly. And I hated it.
Meh.
Done.

My prom was very sad actually.It was all planned out.My bf and I would get together after the prom*wink,wink*He went to my friend to ask her if things dont work out between he and I if she was interested.He left and she came and told me.This was all on prom day.He came to pick me up and he had a line of family members ready to drill him.I didnt make it to prom but I dressed up and cruised in the limo with friends.
Whoa boy, I was almost late for the prom. Here's my story. I'm writing it here instead of at my place to hid the innocent (or sumpin' like that...
I asked the girl that ended up being our Valedictorian (or as I shall refer to her - The Valedictoria) to the prom. We had classes together but never really knew each other, though we hung around with the same crowd. i think 20 mins after me asking her and her saying yes, we both regretted it.
It didn't help that our prom was postponed by 3 weeks because of the Rodney King riots. Let's just say there was a WHOLE lot of rioting at the Hilton right next to Disneyland...I'm using my sarcastic tone right now.
So, long story short, the delayed prom finally comes around, we go to dinner where she then decides to tell me that she is a vegetarian (we all picked a steak house of course) get to the prom, take our pics and then during the first dance, she tells me that she doesn't dance.
THAT was my senior prom. Ahh, the memories...
Reading this is making me all sorts of happy that we don't do that here. But I did do the debutante ball. I looked ridiculous in frills and purple and apricot makeup... Got drunk at the after party and got my period all over my white ruffle skirt (ooh yeah, I was AAALLLLL class)
Oh yeah baby...nailed it! ;)
For my junior prom I thought it would be a good idea to lay in the tanning bed for an hour before my date. I look like a darn lobster in the pictures! It was hiddeous!
Um, o.k. I'll have to think about this one.
I don't have any horror stories- - but I went to 6 proms so I was a little "prommed" out. By the end of it I was just bumming a dress from a buddy and hitting the high road.
My first was with my giant linebacker best buddy, so it was a buddy prom date. Poor thing couldn't dance to save a lick.
Second was another really good buddy that wanted to be more. Despite being mega rich and renting out a floor of hotel rooms for a party and getting a kegger in he still didn't get lucky and didn't have the prom night of his dreams.
The other four were with my high school boyfriend in Jr. and Sr. years. We just went to different high schools so no big whoop there.
I think I liked the parties more then the prom. My boyfriend in high school was a drummer so we were always at the great parties and/or playing.
Um, best one- - he had all his buddies dress up like penguins and be our chauffers. Very, very sweet.
Sorry-I wandered down memory lane a bit too much and jacked your comments!!!! Shannon
