(Hey, who spike the punch???)

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

(er, spikeD)

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Never had a date to the prom so I'll continue this tradition here. God knows what I am wearing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I want a date. I'll be wearing my special prom robe. I have robes for eveything. And I will carry a cane, pete nice style.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

:( nedipoo.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

and I want to pull a Trip Fontaine with my date and drink Schnappies under the bleachers.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

convince me not to go and play pool instead.

and promise you won't dump me for some [what was it?] COOOOOOOOOOL upperclassman.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going in stone washed denim and my song is Dance The Night Away by Van Halen.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

And I fully expect to indulge in some "heavy petting" afterwards in my parents car.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm requesting ironic 80's songs and everyone hates it!

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

well, we'll see.

I think I'm gonna have to fight geeta and Jody Beth over who gets to take dave q.

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh! I hope my bf asks me! (but then, he doesn't like to dance in public :( ). Ok, if he doesn't come with me, I'll go alone! I want a dress with lots and lots of see-through layers.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

uh, kate, uh, well, um, how do I say this? uh, like, will you go with me, uh, to, um, the ILX prom?

― hstencil, Friday, 28 March 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

*stands in corner, shuffles feet*

― mark twee (Mark P), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

we all know that i gots the mad running man skills I don't need no stinkin date to get my groove on. I can pet myself afterwards, its no big deal. I also want "Rock Wit'cha" as my song.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah, will you go to the prom with me? I will dance, but only the slow dances, and only if there's lots of other people on the dance floor. I got you this corsage, which my mom helped me pick out.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I think rosemary really wants to know who's going to be using the Position Master^TM after the problem.

― hstencil, Friday, 28 March 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

*blushing*

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't need a date, as he would just spend more time peering in the mirror than I. Hmm, what I'd wear? A slinky, short silver dress. As for my theme, "She" by Suede comes to mind.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I am going to tell my parents I am going so they'll get off my case, stupid parents, they have no idea how lame prom is, seriously.

― Mandee, Friday, 28 March 2003 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Unless Jess wants to go with me.

― Mandee, Friday, 28 March 2003 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

What's the theme?

"A Webbernet Mentalist Night to Remember"

What's the song?

Surely it's gotta be "I Wanna Sex You Up".

What are you wearing?

WHO IS YOUR DATE?

In the grand tradition of my previous prom experiences, I will ask a series of 3-6 ladies who will either say yes but then through a wicked turn of events not be able to attend (such as "she must work at a derby party that night waiting on famous people like the Judds and the Clooneys" or "her mom won't let her go 'cause she's only 16 and I'm 18 and WTF?" etc), or just flat out say no, and come the night of the prom when my only option left is to stay home and write bitter angry songs about why life sucks, when suddenly the girl I really wanted to go with in the first place has a fite with her lame-o why's-she-with-him-anyway?-boyfriend and calls me all like "PLEASE??" and I'm all like "I'll be there in 5."

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

nickalicious has the best shirt ever!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Wrong, the song is either "November Rain" or "Stairway to Heaven," because it has to be incredibly long and awkward and have a tempo change that makes it impossible to dance to.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I vote for November Rain. But can Dieing in your Arms Tonight be played at some point?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 28 March 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

suddenly the girl I really wanted to go with in the first place has a fite with her lame-o why's-she-with-him-anyway?-boyfriend

Of course, this is my role at the ILx prom.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Other than nick getting his heart broken, Derby parties rule. Hey nick, do you know if it was the big Friday night charity thing in Louisville at one of the old Doublemint twinz's house? I forget what it's called, but that's the big celeb gala thingy, my parents live about a block away and it's crazy every year.

Yes, I never went to the prom.

― hstencil, Friday, 28 March 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh now I remember, it's called the Barnstable party.

― hstencil, Friday, 28 March 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Proms are great! I will ask my date to go with me over email. I will ask the DJ to play "Blue Monday." I'm wearing a forest green vest and a huge white carnation.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

The first thing I thought when I saw this thread was "Dammit, why can't it be one of those Sadie Hawkins proms, where the girls ask the boys, so I can ask hstencil if he'll be my date..."

WWHHHEEEEEEEE!!! ::runs round ILX and tells all the girls that hstencil asked me to the prom!!!::

We'll be the annoying couple who get drunk and feel each other up on the dance floor during the slow songs! tee hee hee!

― kate, Friday, 28 March 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

REAL prom suXXX. And not in a pleasant way as my triple Xs might suggest. My junior year I went with the shortest guy in the grade and he was so embarassed that he never gave me copies of the pix his parents took of us in front of their rose garden. My senior year none of my senior girl friends allowed to go because they didn't have dates and it wouldn't be proper. I went stag with a bunch of juniors. We rode around in a nice convertible and went bowling. But the dance itself was dumb.

But ILX prom is the best ever!

Oh jeez, maybe I'll need the Position Master^TM.

Dude, you're taking a pregnant chick to the prom!?!

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

the Barnstable party

That's the one hstencil. I remember asking her like thirty times "well, can you just take me to that then?".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

this is when being a "charming asshole" for the previous 9 months backfires on you

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Nowt wrong with pregnant girls!

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick - the Barnstable party is a $500-a-plate charity thingy. I think the only way you or I could get in is if we were the help (and my parents live in that neighborhood!).

― hstencil, Friday, 28 March 2003 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

oh wait - i thought this was for ILX pr0n.

nevermind, i'm out.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

serious! you bitches don't say anything like "ooh, we'll twitter at your witty, urbane, snotty commentary all year only to dump your ass for the well-groomed pretty boy the first chance i get." man, fuck a prom.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

jess you could go with anthony but i'm pretty sure he'd expect you to put out

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I wouldn't care to speculate, because I would end up getting dumped at the last minute and end up not going -- all of my plans in vain.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like an Austen-themed prom.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought this was where we got to live out our fantasies of how we *wish* the prom had gone, instead of reliving the nightmares of how it really did!

::stamps feet::

In a perfect world, the boy I had a crush on *would* have asked me to the prom, I would have run round and told all my friends, he would have got shouted at by my mum (but we would have ignored her) and we would have got drunk and snogged on the dancefloor and got back well after midnight to have my father put the dogs on the poor boy. (Sorry, hstencil!)

― kate, Friday, 28 March 2003 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

put the dogs? You mean in a "release the hounds" kinda way? I better have my runnin' shoez on!

― hstencil, Friday, 28 March 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I went to my prom with a charming asshole with whom I was quite smitten. He ended up being more asshole than charming though in the end.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 28 March 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Interesting thread. The original part, that is.

My real life prom scenarios were as such: I didn't go. I didn't go. Not even when I was a senior and received my engraved invitation did I go. I had an opportunity to go stag as a junior to the prom with two other friends of mine, one of whom had a date, but I thought I'd have more fun staying at home watching TV or catching up on sleep than going to something where I'd have to get all gussied up. So I stayed at home and received my souvenir prom goblet (all seniors get some prom souvenir) a few days later.

My fantasy scenario would be: To go to the '80s prom with a high school-aged Graham Dalton as my date He is a soft-hearted sweetie, not nasty like Steff. We'd go in a stretch limo with Andie Walsh, her date Blane McDonnagh, and Andie's friends Duckie and Iona. We'd dance a few New Wave classics before going to a late-night diner and consuming burgers and milkshakes, then we'd have the limo driver cruise around for a bit before checking into a hotel room, where we'd all play card games before crashing. That would've been fun.

dammit, i was hoping this thread was about an ACTUAL ILX prom that might actually be happening, where we could all dress up and dance to, er, Alphaville and stuff and someone could spike the punch, and a guy in a sky-blue tux could fall asleep under a table and girls could cry in the loos and the hard lads would turn up late and reveal leather hidden under jackets.

pah.
