<p>Dang, yall tickets are cheap. Ours are $90 a pop. It’s at a hotel. And I’m paying for my date’s ticket since He doesn’t go to my school. This whole affair is burning a hole in my wallet!
!!!That makes me want to cry; I’m so jealous… :(</p>
<p>Oh, and logisticslord:</p>
<p>“Prom” is short for “promenade,” a borrowing from the French derived from the Latin “prominare,” meaning “to drive forward.” To “promenade” in the original sense was simply to go for a walk, though when it appeared in English around 1567 it especially meant to walk to and fro in public view in order to display oneself or one’s finery. A “promenade” could also be a specific place where the socially adept did their “promenading,” and to this day there is a very fine promenade of this sort in Brooklyn Heights overlooking New York Harbor. By the late 19th century, “promenade” was being used to mean a formal ball or gala at a school or college, and it was shortened to “prom” around the same time."</p>

<p>my prom was last night, and instead of going I got a hotel with about 10 friends…I don’t regret my decision in the slightest and would do the same again, it was a damn fun night.</p>
<p>Seniors at our school get free prom tickets…w00t!</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>Prom + Drama = Proma</p>
<p>Our tickets are like…10 bucks, it’s in the commons, and our theme is “Club Paradise.” Pretty sure that sounds like a strip club of some sort.</p>
<p><em>sighs</em> Oh well. People still manage to freak out about every little thing and turn it into this huge saga…</p>
<p>Which is why I usually just sit back and watch. :P</p>
<p>$10? ours are $50 a person or $90 a couple, down $20 from last year…</p>
<p>ours is 130 per couple or i think 70 per person</p>
<p>Our tickets were included in our dues for school. So essentially free!</p>
<p>I haven’t paid my dues ever. Freshmen through junior, nor has over 3/4 of the class. No one cares about the dues.</p>
<p>Haha. Ten for a couple. Ha. Yeah…if it was any more, people wouldn’t come because it’s held IN THE COMMONS (aka…lunchroom).</p>
<p>I love our school.</p>
<p>(Not.)</p>
<p>Well, what do you know… I think I’ve got myself a coffee date. Sweet!</p>
<p>wow. what kind of shcools go ona a cruise for prom? i wanna go there…</p>
<p>I know; That sounds more like an after-prom event. Speaking of which, we’re going bowling afterwards. And we might go to King’s Dominion the next morning.</p>
<p>Congratulations, Cameliasinensis!!!</p>
<p>And my old school used to have their prom on a yacht, lights_out, so…yeah. My current school, though, is having ours at a automobile museum/gallery thing…so we’ll be dancing alongside all these mounted old, vintage cars on pedestals. Last year it was at the Disney Conservatory thing, where the roof is see-through, and the walls look like they’re waterfalls and stuff when the dance lights are flashing.</p>
<p>One thing I can say about this year’s prom comittee: Obviously, there are a lot more guys in it this year. hahaha!</p>
