[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I went to more than a few proms/winter balls. Homecoming wasn't the formal dance it seems to be down here, so the Juniors & the Seniors both had a formal dance - one in winter & one in "spring". Why the hell they didn't think of making Homecoming formal when it was one of the few times in the school year it wasn't 40 below with 5 feet of snow is beyond me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Heh. Me, too. Ninth grade party, Little Red Corvette on the stereo. Almost inevitable, really.

Hey, I was taken to my first bar by a preacher. Beat that.
edit: And I was underage. Damned good cheeseburgers, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was quite a while before I got that you Americans had a different one from the British.
Stuff is kinda cleared up, but at no time did my school-attending culture include school dances. Usually didn't include boys either.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Co-op-ma for Jess & E!
My senior year for prom sucked. Not because I didn't go, because I did. Not because I didn't have a date--I went with a cute, but dim boy I'd started dating. But because I initially worked up the guts to ask the guy I had the HUGEST crush on all through school.
He was my friend, too, and I even sucked it up and asked him to go "as friends." He said he couldn't justify spending that much money on "just friends." So what did he do? Our art teacher set him up with her tall, willowy, gorgeous brunette daughter--whom he had NEVER even met! And he went. Because she was beautiful.
My only consolation is that they had ZERO chemistry and he had a MISERABLE time (according to our friend that double dated with him). Take that!
Um, except he went on to get a dual degree from Notre Dame University and then on to IU Med school--where he became a surgeon for the Air Force and is now living in Japan.
Eh, he still can't beat my DH and I have WAY cuter kids than he does.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I went to a bunch of proms.
Sophomore year, I had no date, but my therapist said, "Why not go anyway?" I mean, Jesus Christ, what kind of therapist tells a patient to GO TO PROM BY HIMSELF?!? Bastard. Anyway, long story short: felt stupid, went home.
Jr. and Sr. year I went with my girlfriend. There was actually less drama than usual between us.
Freshman year of college I took my best friend's sister (who was a few years younger) to Prom. I got made fun of for the way I danced to Van Halen's "Jump!" - just like the guy in the video....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I didn't go to Jr. Prom. Senior prom I went with a bunch of friends -- none of us had boyfriends or dates. It was reasonably fun.
