I wore a Conducter's tuxedo...on accident. I wanted tails and it was the first one with tails in the book. When I got it on I finally realised that I looked like Leopold Stravinsky. Everyone thought it was on purpose because I was into music, but it wasn't.

True. People love that kind of thing were I come from. Once, I welded a hubcap to a piece of industrial chain and wore it like a necklace, people loved it.

As for my prom, never had one. In my part of the city, the schools don't really have proms. And not many dances either. Whenever people do things like that, it always ends in violence. Violence, I say!

Lots of knives and cricket bats and pieces of pipe.

And so I don't blame the school organizer people. Ever been hit with a monkey wrench? Hurts alot, to say the least.

I'm ever upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
the event is never small
the social pages say I've got
the biggest balls of all

(chorus)
oh, I've got big balls
I've got big balls
and they're such big balls
dirty big balls
and he's got big balls
and she's got big balls
but we've got the biggest balls of them all

and my balls are always bouncing
my ballroom's always full
and everybody comes and comes again
if your name is on the guest list
no-one can take you higher
everybody says I've got
great balls of fire

(chorus)

some balls are held for charity
and some for fancy dress
but when they're held for pleasure
they're the balls that I like best
my balls are always bouncing
to the left and to the right
it's my belief that my big balls
should be held every night

(chorus)

oh wait. prom. mine was 12 years ago, the senior prom. but , due to my friend's varying ages, i went to the senior prom 4 times before my own senior year.
what i wore? always something black, and freaky, with combat boots. i have no pics though. standard metalhead/goth/death stuff. each time, we drove some fucked up cars- hearse, a tour bus, an RV, showed up waysted, and got kicked out in less than hour.

you know, i don't remember. which probably has something to do with my near-death prom experience (at the school sanctioned after-prom event, no less).

ok, story time:

you see, our school had some big all-night event to keep the kids from killing themselves in drunken car crashes. it had games and a hypnotist and all of that good stuff. it also had a couple of those big inflatable bouncy carnival things (do we even have a word for them?). one of them was a sort of a race, where you bounced across the first part, ducked through a hole in a big inflatable wall, climbed a rope to get to the flag at the top of a second wall, and then raced back to the entrance.

a friend of mine said to me, "hey matt, i bet we can jump over that first wall from the top of the second one." and me being me, the mere suggestion meant that we were required to try it. so we run through the thing and climb up to the top of the second wall. my friend jumps and smashes into the wall and falls to the bottom. but that made the whole inflatable wall bounce back and forth, which meant that at a certain point in its arc it was now even closer and i stood a good chance of making it. so i timed it and jumped.

i actually did clear it.

except for my right foot; it kind of glanced off the top of the wall. which caused me to rotate forward so that i was coming in on the ground head first at a rather steep angle. it doesn't take much imagination to see that this could spell problems - when your head hits first and then bounces up as the rest of your weight impacts, your neck isn't going to deal so well. i remember thinking very clearly "well, this is ironic; 'boy dies on prom night, no cars injured'." and it is amazing how slowly things move and how clear your thoughts are when you think that your best case scenario is being paralyzed and are resigned to dying.

and then i hit. but instead of my neck snapping, my face skidded forward and my shoulders hit, causing the force of the impact to hit my lower spine rather than my neck. gave me a hell of a rug burn. and i was totally unable to move for a minute or two - my friend didn't notice, because he was still trying to jump the wall. when i could move again i sort of made my way off to a quiet corner and laid there for an hour until i was feeling up to finding my then-gf and driving home. i did some serious hyperextension to my lower back, and it hurt to move for like a week. but eventually i got better, more or less.

what's great is that none of the people running the event even noticed me.

Thats actually surprisingly close to what I wore! Good taste Glinde!

The only difference was that I had a more 'business formal' look about me, I was wearing a short brim fedora, and a 3/4 length two button suit with a silver patterened vest and matching ascot over a white shirt. Well, my shoes were a little more toned down too. (think frank sinatra, dressed up a bit)
I wish I had a picture to share! :(

Once again though - I applaud good style! :)

I didn't go to my prom because I didn't get on with most of the people in my year at school (bunch of stuck up idiots). I went to the pub instead with my friends, then out clubbing til the early hours ("early" being like 7am). Had more fun than I would have done at the prom, and spent less money on it too:)

Seniors in high school, though a lot of schools would let Juniors or even younger come as dates.

usually. though some places also have a junior prom. and anybody can go if they are taken by a senior. my prom group had two junior girls (one of which - my date - was from a totally different school), one junior guy, one guy of indeterminate origin (i didn't know him), and one girl who had dropped out a year before.

and another friend of mine brought his freshman girlfriend along. totally robbing the cradle on that one. though last i heard, they were still together 5 years on.

See, you make to many enemies and not enough connections.

I am safe not matter where I go, and can feel good in knowing that if anyone ever hurts me, they will pay for it.

Makes me feel special. Like......like, you know those cookies that are on cakes sometimes? Like that, sorta. You know what I'm getting at?
