Suckers. We never had prom.
Ours was just grad. With banquet. And dance that followed.
I didn't have a date, but my friend's brother danced with me, mostly because I think he felt bad that I was sitting at the table with my parents and my friend's parents.
I went to a small town grad, however, and there was a 2 hour lull between the banquet and the after-grad, because they knew that everyone would want to drink. So we did. And then we got on a school bus to take us into the city for said aftergrad, and they had barf buckets on the bus, for those "oh shit, I drank too much and now this bumping up and down is making me sick" moments.

Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist.
