If it makes you feel better, I spent about the same on my prom dresses and I graduated in 1990. *sigh*

Ooh sounds pretty! Where did you get it? Anywhere I might be familiar with?

Possibly -- ever hear of Debbie's in Whiting? It's on Indianapolis Blvd., headed toward the Skyway. They're a formal dress shop -- no wedding gowns -- and I though I wasn't expecting them to be rock-bottom cheap, I had me some big sticker shock. Like I was telling mac, the dress she chose wasn't even the cheapest one she picked out.

My date spent $500 on a pink dress with little pearl things sewn on it and some weird semi-jacket thing to over her shoulders but not to keep her warm. She looked like a reject from the '70s but she loved it and raved about it for months. All the other guys had dates who looked like they were one small zipper away from dancing the horizontal bop, my date looked like a cupcake.

Ah well, just another reason to be glad I left that one far in the past.

Not Necessarily the Prom King,

You didn't go with your Mer, did you? Because that kind of sounds like something she would love.

$400 for a prom dress? Goodness. But, you know, if it's her money, she should damn well be able to spend it however she likes.

No, Mer was an unrequited high-school fantasy that would have sent me to the poor and crazy house had it ever been realized. I see it now as being more about adolescent male hormones than something that would have lasted much past the sweaty monkey-love stage.

Though the sweaty monkey-love would've been gooooood.

No, this particular soul and wallet-devouring heart-rending harpy was named Cari. And that's all I have to say about that. Bitch.

Not bitter,

Now playing on XMMS.. Mirwais - Disco Science...

At any rate.. .My prom was nowhere near worth a $400 dress. I'm not sure what the-chick-i've-never-nor-will-ever-completely-forget-about paid (yeah, that one) for her darling frock, but given the evening's entertainment it was too much.

Though in true wad fashion, I did forget the tickets. Turned around to get them too.

We go to dance. Sty for like 3 hours and decided to leaveto eat. In more wad fashion, had no reservations anywhere and ended up a Johnny's Round the Clock in Merrillville.

Then took her home and went to bed. Totally blew a 2 AM curfew for her on that evening. I coulda been humping my little wad hips off, but NOOOOO!!!!

Early morning to great america the next day....

All in all, emminently forgettable, unlike the rest of High School. In retrospect, morp (get it? n'cest pas?) was completely and utterly meaningless in the grand scheme of things. 'specially since selfsame girl dumped me like 3 weeks later.

But maybe that was because of Round the Clock.

Either way, hope cuz has a good time. Though May is quite a bit away...

Hm... Given that this describes events previous to IU, would that still qualify as "Wad" type activities?

Nascent Wad?

Wad Junior Junior?

Pre-Wad?

Sounds like a major in college...

"Yeah, I'm gonna go pre-wad next year...."
