Haha, I'm the opposite, most of grad is a blur. I remember being there with my friends, and eating a lot of corn chips. Then pizza showed up, and it was awful. There was a fake gambling area set up that nobody went to. We were outside before it, trying to ruin the shocks on a friend's rented car. That's about it.

The problem was, we had to get up extra early that morning to do the ceremony, and there was stuff going on all day. By supper time, I was tired as hell, and just wanted to go to bed. I'm sure most others felt the same way.


What did you do 16 days after grad?
Got up, went to work, programmed for 8 hours, went home, watched tv, went to bed. Wanna put bets on that? :)

But seriously, I remember any special event to roughly the same extent. I found that grad is no more or less memorable than my last dental visit.


How about 12 dental visits ago?

I remember that no more than I'd remember 12 proms ago.

But you don't have 12 proms, you only have one.  It would lessen the significance of the event if there were 12 of them.  If you had only one dental appointment your whole life, you would probably remember it reasonably well.

Your point about remembering a seemingly non-significant event as well as grad is like me saying that I remember yesterday as well as prom.  I likely won't remember yesterday in two weeks, but I'll still remember grad.

I only had one dentist appointment in the last 8 or so years, so I remember it fairly well. :)

They tell me every year.

My last visit was last year, though, and I intend to go this year. I just had a big gap when I didn't.

On the plus side, I have healthy teeth. No cavities or nothing! :)

I went to my girlfriend's two years ago, but I didn't go to mine last year. It worked out rather well since the vast majority of my friends were in her grade. But yeah, it was pretty boring, I remember it in far less detail than iago remembers his. The party afterwards is what was fun, and what I'll remember.

And yes, I had a top hat. Because I'm a pimp like that.

No one goes to the prom for the prom, they go to the prom for the afterparty. At least around here.
Prom sucked, after party was great.

Usually no one stays with their dates at the after party, so I sort of forgot about my date in like the middle of the prom.
I couldn't find her so I just went to a huge after party, then hopped to smaller parties after that.

But yea, it's not something you should miss. I would of deeply regretted it if I didn't go, even if the Prom sucks just the memories of getting all dressed up, picking up my date, taking pictures, etc is a memorable thing.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

I went to prom my junior year (it's a junior/senior thing) and it sucked.  I had just recently gone back to school from my bad accident where my knee got all kinds of fux0r'd.  I sorta wobbled into the place then sat down cause moving hurt too much.  After party was just bowling and then Village Inn (so VI for me).

I skipped my senior prom 'cause I didn't want to spend $200+ to go to dinner and the dance and all.  The girl I was going to most likely go with would've been fun to be there with, but I just said fuck it and hung out at a friend's apartment.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Ahaha. Your expression in that picture is priceless, Newby. ;)

I think prom is way overrated. This might be because I went to four, plus four winter balls, but eh. I like the excuse to go dancing, but after the third or so dance, it just gets boring... So by senior prom, it's pretty lame. Glad I don't have to do that anymore.

I've got a couple facial expressions that invoke laughter automatically, just because they're so priceless and random.
