I didn't go to prom because my boyfriend at the time refused to wear a zoot suit and I refused to arrive by being lowered out of a helicopter.

The age difference is a bit creepy, yeah. Not to mention Dita is much prettier.

I didn't go to my Prom. I ended up going to Prom the year after I graduated because my friend's girlfriend broke up with him the day of Prom.

Evan Rachel Wood was like...seven, when Marilyn Manson put out (one of) his first album(s).

I think.

I know he had an album in '94. I tried to check his discography at his official website, but demons tried to suck my soul out as soon as the page loaded, so I shut my browser window.

What? They totally did.

I had no prom date. Junior year, my then-boyfriend (who recently bought a fabulous craftsman bungalow in Oakland) was working/didn't want to go, and senior year, I was single (I had a dress, just in case, from the year before) and just went and hung out and watched TV with my previous year's history teacher, so I could see what my friends were wearing as they dropped by on their way.

You know, honestly, it totally didn't feel as lame as it sounds typing it up. Even taking into account that I spent two months trying to get someone to go with me.

I'm feeling retroactively pathetic.

Marilyn Manson needs to unhand that little girl! Ew ew ew!

My prom date was my boyfriend who I dated from mid-senior year through 2nd year of college. He is the only ex that I look back on with nothing but fond memories. He was my only serious BF in high school. Billy (probably Bill at this point), where are you now?

Junior year I went with my best friend, but wound up stealing a prom date at the dance.

Senior year my boyfriend was 4 years older than me, so I didn' think he'd be into going.

Still talk/hang out with date I stole. Was in touch with ex until he turned in to a massive jackass.

My prom date was my high school sweetheart. He's an attorney if FL, now. I know he's married (or at least was). I'm pretty sure he has children, but not positive. I last saw him about 5 years after high school ended. When his mother passed on, I thought about going to her wake, because his whole family was really great, but it felt too awkward, although I'm not sure why.

Oh, and I wore a sleeveless black velvet and gold lame short cocktail dress. He wore a black tux, gold bow tie, and black Vans. Hey, it was 1988!

Had no Prom date.

Dropped out of high school. No prom, no date.
