<p>I thought IB testing stress would be on my mind, but surprisingly there has been plenty of prom drama to distract me. I saw my friend be turned down for prom in my English class, and then another one of my guy friends turned down a girl for prom in that same class. And the girl who was turned down turned down the guy who sits next to me in English class. And it goes on. So and so turned down so and so, or whatshisname shall invite thatonegirl or whatever.</p>
<p>Our prom is May 31, but it feels like there has been this mad dash for dates. I'm just relieved that one of my good guy friends has asked me and I just have to stand by and watch it all happen. Is my school the only school going insane?</p>
<p>The other day in my Bible Lit class, one of the boys walked in with this HUGE Mrs. Field's Cookie that said "Dear _____, will you go to prom with me?" in icing on it. It was kinda cute, but definitely over the top.</p>
<p>So many people get food for prom! I end up eating it, which I really do not mind. :]</p>
<p>Yeah, my friend made this video for a girl he asked. It played on our school morning news show, and it showed our classroom, and then it zoomed in on the door. Right as it finished doing so, he walked in the bouquet of flowers. Unfortunately, the girl was kind of dating somebody already, haha.</p>
<p>heeeeeey catsushi,
Lol theres like a code at my school:
Guy asks mediator-guy-friend to ask a mediator-friend-of-girl friend to verify that she will in fact say yes. </p>
<p>It sucks wacthing ppl get turned down and my bestie ALWAYS turns down a few ppl for each dance (cuz, wow lol) even though we try and talk them out of asking her....hehe my crazy bgf practically has it down to an art form even though we try n talk the fellas out of asking that we know she will turn down.</p>
<p>At my school there was a lot of drama too, but it was more secretive. There were a bunch of people trying to work up the courage to ask others at the last minute. My friend started texting the guy I like, trying to figure out whether he likes me, and she kept telling me to ask him. We came up with this whole convoluted plan in which she told him she was thinking of asking his best friend, as a joke, which he thought would be hilarious (it would have been). Then I'd suggest that the four of us go, so that we could all laugh at them. It was a brilliant plan, except that she decided not to ask his friend, because she didn't want to have to go with him if, for some odd reason, he said yes. I was left with no excuse to ask the guy I like, and too little courage to just ask him flat out. So I just went with friends, which was really fun.</p>
<p>ahah I feel your pain catsushi. It seems like people are getting rejected. Unfortunately, I need to find a date too! Soon because people have already started asking and after talking with my mom in general about it, apparently she doesn't want me to go if I don't have a date because she doesn't "want me to be a loser when I go". ahahahahha oh. So sad in such a cute way.</p>
<p>prom drama is hilarious, especially the kind you make up for yourself :D. See, at my school at least half of dateless people didn't find a date until the school day before the dance, if they had any date at all. Me-I spent like a whole week thinking about asking this one guy that I kind-of really liked. But first, he was absent the one day. Then I was gone the next day. And then I talked to him but somehow forgot that I meant to ask him in the first place. Then the next day I got distracted. Then the final day I had the perfect chance to ask him, and I totally chickened out and just ran away. I regretted it 5 seconds later, but whatever, I'm the biggest wimp sometimes. I don't know if it was the fear of rejection or what, as I'm pretty sure he would've said yes. But it's just so unlike me to be forward with things, lol. I went with a group of friends though, which was still loads of fun</p>
<p>My prom is today. I'm not going and I'm happy about that. All the BS my friends had to go through was not worth it. Not only was working out the whole date situation a hassle, no one could agree on what to do afterwards and whether or not to get a limo, etc. Half my friends aren't talking anymore due to prama.</p>
<p>Plus, It's 55 degrees and thunderstorming outside. Hahah.</p>
<p>I'm making a video to ask this girl (like an American Idol parody, since we're AI buddies), when my "inside" person (her best friend) just told me that the girl I'm asking promised another that they would go stag together.</p>
<p>B effing S. Whatever, if she turns me down to go stag, I'll just lose my dignity :D</p>
<p>My reach turned me down last year. I ended up asking my safety choice. We had a good time, but he spent a good deal of it rambling about himself.</p>
<p>I guess that's why they tell you to "love your safety" :p</p>
