Honestly. Something that manages to have something as exciting (ish) as outdoor sex, and something as dull as treestump photography has to win a prize of some sort.

Matrix, my sister also has a strange prom journey. She buys her ticket at the last minuite, because she didn't know wheter her boyfriend will go with her (He's moving to cow country at June). Then she finally gets a date at the last day she needs to buy the tickets after pestering one of her friends from Key Club who got her the job at the Gap store. Unfortunately, this is the same guy that my mother hates because during Christmas, he was folding the clothes we bought at his store and making small talk while my mother just wanted to get out of the mall. She found him annoying. To top it all off, I've paid for everything: the tickets, the dress, the hair, the nails, the pictures, and the flowers that each will wear.

The problem is that I never went to a dance before because one she thinks its stupid, and two I didn't wat to go. She really wanted to go to my prom and so do I. She wants the distinction of getting her diploma on the stage then merely go to the office and get it.
I did talk to her about the problem along with some of the Prom organizers, the deal is that she can come and to the Post Prom party, but if she does not go to the Prom, she can't go to the Post Prom. Which makes no sense.

Well, if her graduation ceremony is anything like mine was, she won't get the diploma on stage. They handed out empty diploma-holders so as to avoid mix-ups w/o slowing down the whole process. We got the diplomas from random teachers in classrooms afterward (graduation was in the school gym; they really went all out... *rolls eyes*).

I skipped my senior prom. I didn't like the aura of overstated importance associated with it. I didn't like the idea of getting super dressed up to hang around a ballroom for a few hours. I especially didn't like the idea of hunting down a woman for me to escort to prom. I hated the idea of prom, and I made it quite clear that there was no way I was going to attend.
I endured two solid months of people trying to convince to go to prom. I swear, some of the intensity of those trying to convince me was on par with some of the Christian Bible Groups that solicit me on campus. My best friend got pissed off at me, and he keep giving me this ominous warning of "living to regret" not going to prom. And, as if getting the third degree from my peers wasn't enough, I had two of the band directors pressuring me to go. They offered to rent me a tuxedo, chip in my share of a limo, and pay for dance lessons.
I won out and spent the night watching Star Trek movies and helping with a band fundraiser. I watched various videotapes of the prom and the Project Prom held afterwards. I saw the pictures, and I read tbe commentaries. I don't feel like I missed out on anything.
In my opinion, prom just isn't worth it. The post-prom party might be since it could be the final time you hang out with your friends in a social atmosphere. I'd keep trying to pressure the prom organizers into relaxing the rules. Maybe going to the principal would help? If that doesn't work, is it too late to organize your own post-prom party? I know people who rented out a beach house and partied there after the prom instead of going to the Project Prom.

Well Seiggy I am 39 years old and I skipped my prom too. And to tell you the truth it has not made much of a difference in my life and I have never regretted not going.

Well, I want to go to my prom. And, I probably won't have a date, as much as I would like to have someone accompany me. But, I'll go solo anyways. Doesn't bother me. I have no idea what I'm doing afterwards. My friends aren't exactly the partying type.

Problem solved, I am to either go with my girlfriend's best friend as friends or go solo and wait for my girlfriend to 50/50 chance of arriving on time. She said she'll get back to me by Thursday.

At the risk of sounding like a major hypocrite, I'm not 100% certain how much I respect the opinion of a Canadian X-ray service technician who spends his free time on a Star Trek forum posting in slightly broken sentences.
Actually, since I'm slightly drunk at the moment, I will use this opportunity to insult Canada to the fullest degree. Canada smells!
There. I have proved it.

You'll not hear an argument out of me. Canada DOES smell. Take that, and be offended. For I have asserted TheLiam's assertation. Be offended, indeed.
Fake Englishman, that's what you are.
