"I'm Back !!"
When I was a freshman in high school, one of the seniors wanted to take her boyfriend to the prom. The problem was that he was married to someone else and the wife didn't like the idea and threatened to do cause problems. After quite a bit of news coverage, the school board passed a rule that only local high school students could attend the prom. It was that way for years. Every class tried to get the prom location changed to somewhere else, so that other people could attend. I think after about 10 years it finally happened. Now they have prom off campus. Most of the kids there now, probably have no idea why that is. They weren't even born when the trouble started. Laura Cooper, where are you now?
Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.
I didn't even WANT to go to my HS prom. We went to a friends house instead and drank too much beer. . .![]()

Years ago I went to a store up the street from my house to get some brekkie stuff.
Since it was early on Saturday morning there was only one check out line open.
An elderly woman in front of me began to WAIL about the wait.
She was loud..."Oh my GOD, Why Do I HAVE TO Wait!!!!" She went on about her time in a concentration camp and how unfair it was for her to wait to be waited on...
I was pi$$ed and piped up......"Lady, we are all waiting...."
The cashier called the manager who opened up another line and took this woman as the first customer.
Here is a woman who probably spent time in hell during her life, survived it, then had to make a huge deal about waiting in line to buy groceries, years later?
Instead of thinking about how lucky she was to have made it that far-while millions of people around her died, she pulled the victim card out of the deck and played it.
How sad and pathetic it is to ride the coattails of the people who really did suffer during WWII...She survived and probably used that excuse how many times in the 40 years since????
I look at the Prom Idiot the same way.
Instead of being true to her 'cause', she has to shout about it and loses the respect that she may have earned had she kept her mouth shut and toed the line, like the rest of her classmates.
She put herself at the head of the queue...like any good groundbreaker she should accept the slings and arrows of the people who choose to wait or conform to the rules.
It reminds me of hanging out in the neighborhood, playing with the rest of the kids. Then, one of the little morons has to run to their mom, crying because of some stupid reason, which ruins if for everyone.
Ah, the Human Condition!
I never went to the prom but was asked once. A lot of the girls ended up with big bellies from going to the prom & it was not gas.![]()
I believe one should be able to attend a dance with the date of one's choice, regardless of gender. I think one should be able to wear tasteful clothing to said, regardless whether it is a dress or slacks. I think the fact that this is even occurring in 2010 is pathetic.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
I wore a pair of holey Chuck Taylors to my prom.It was horrible and I left early. She should have just stayed home with her girlfriend, it probably would have been more fun.
