what? thats the point of the thread isnt?

Im rate excited about the prom *hint hint*

I will spend my prom dancing and talking to friends / teachers / love interests / worst enemies etc. until it ends, then packing into a limo, going to a friends house, and getting drunk with a few lads and girls until about 4 in the morning.

Prom is made to enjoy.
Certianly here in the UK our year enjoys it, since we have a pretty nice school considering it's a normal state school.

"Hey, want to go to an arbitrary school dance with me that seems like a big, meaningful event now but three months after highschool we'll look back on it without any fondness or memories beyond a couple awkward dances and possibly a fumbling, sloppy, inexperienced crashcourse in sexual intercourse?"

 

[Cormeh]

"So.... you look pretty clean..... how about you and me go out sometime? Y'know - out back"

 

[highlander]

Don't go to prom. Go somewhere else.

go to Star Bucks.

 

[Raziaar]

Go to one of those Macdonald's tube palace things.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Go to the ****ing moon.

 

[Pesmerga]

Go to hell.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Prom is just a big waste of money, honestly.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Go to my house.

 

[French Ninja]

I stayed home and played Zombie Master on my prom night.

Totally worth it, tbh.

 

[bam23]

What's with all this antisocial "don't go to the prom" stuff? There seem to be two opposing poles: one, the popularly expressed viewpoint that the prom is the huge ending to your entire high school career, the climactic event that must be perfect or fulfilling. This, of course, is silly. But many people here seem to have jumped absurdly to the opposite pole: the prom is a joke, a scam, an embarassment, delivering only hot hot tears of pain:

"Hey, want to go to an arbitrary school dance with me that seems like a big, meaningful event now but three months after highschool we'll look back on it without any fondness or memories beyond a couple awkward dances and possibly a fumbling, sloppy, inexperienced crashcourse in sexual intercourse?"

This second position is clearly a drastic reaction to the first one, the myth of the high school movie, wherein the prom becomes the ultimate do-or-die of teenage romance, bound up in pathetic hollywood notions of closure.

But I propose that Position 2 is too harsh a response to Position 1. Maybe it is my own viewpoint as a Brit for whom the prom was really just kind of unimportant, but I enjoyed it, and would advise taking some care to seize the opportunity. I certainly wish that, at that time in my life, I'd developed the requisite social contacts and bonds to really enjoy the event. As it was it was merely ok.

You can hang out with your mates any time. Don't make it your Moby Dick, don't heap too much importance on it, but don't be antisocial - go to your prom, and enjoy it. And then, if you have halfway decent friends, enjoy the afterparty.

Oh yeah, actually on topic? Sorry, can't think of anything.

Learn a dance step then teach her to dance. Then be all like "wait...this isn't Glasgow circa 1870?" You taught her the Gay Gordons, you nonce.

I heard my prom was lame as hell, so im glad I just went and saw a movie with some friends. Ive also heard that every prom was lame, so im glad I didnt go to those either. Proms are lame.

After prom parties however, are something else entirely. Kinda wish i went to one

omg sulk double posted! Demoderatored!

Ah it's all a load of crap. At least down here we had year 12 muck up day where everyone would do all sorts of crazy shit.

Why an after party after a prom?

 

[sinkoman]

suggestions on cute ways to do it?

helplife2.net work your magic!

Social formalities, bla bla bla, light conversation.

Hey, what are you doing for prom?

if free: Really? You don't have a date yet? Wow, that's insanely surprising. Well, I happen to be free, would you like to go with me?

else: Oh, you're going with so and so? Haha, yeah, I remember at this one party, bla bla bla bla bla. He's ****ing crazy!

Find new chick, rinse, repeat.

Why an after party after a prom?

Because you can't do drugs in the prom, and people will find any excuse to get shitfaced. Who doesn't love getting shitfaced?

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I like to smoke crack and wipe her shit on my face if that's what you mean.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Walk up to her and go

"Hey nice boots, by the way go to prom with me."

This will work even if she is not wearing boots.

trust me

Exactly, you cant do that stuff at the prom because of the damn prudish teachers, so you go to an after party.

 

[Sulkdodds]

To be fair, though, I've met very few prudish teachers.

After a certain point in education, they're all drunkards and lewd as fuck.

 

[Krynn72]

I live in the US though.

 

[nurizeko]

worst advice ever??

don't go? thats nuts. it'll be ace.

Bam, this is another point, do you really want to spend an evening trying to hang out with people like this who's idea of anti-social is anyone not doing what they are?. :imu:

 

[bam23]

That is probably the best way. Or you could wait for them to ask you, that's how I got to the prom.
