<p><strong>Raises Hand</strong> Of course I am only a freshman and prom is next week, but I'm not going =] Movie night!</p>
<p>I've never gone to a high school dance yet, but I will go to prom. IMHO, didn't miss out on too much.</p>
<p>hemingwayisdead: I WENT TO THAT RALLY TOO!! :D Obama was a really good speaker, I have to say. </p>
<p>I skipped on homecoming this (junior) year to go to Medieval Times with my friends. We're organizing a sushifest at my friend's house instead of junior prom. </p>
<p>I went to hc frosh and soph. years though.</p>
<p>well, chances are i'm going to be in my 3rd professional performance (yaaaaaay!) on the night of my prom. small price to pay for your passion!</p>
<p>Might go next year. Was invited freshman year, but declined.</p>
<p>As for parties...</p>
<p>Heh. Better not to say. :D</p>
<p>Nope...I transferred to a new school in January, so I don't have any friends...</p>
<p>so I haven't been to any dances yet, and not planning on going to prom. lol </p>
<p>parties? never been invited to any :P plus I know my parents would never let me go even if I was. lol</p>
<p>Hemingway, don't we have some dance on a boat in Boston harbor that we have at orientation?</p>
<p>Wanna go?</p>

hemingway, how did you become aqainted with these protests and such that you are/were involved in? just word of mouth? is there a favorite website that lists some (the ones i look up online all the time never seem to end up working/taking place)

<p>The Darfur rally I mentioned was a really big one (Elie Wiesel, George Clooney, Barack Obama, Al Sharpton all spoke), so I just knew of that from the newd/word of mouth. Any big "march on Washington" protests coming up you'd probably hear about on the news. But I also get very regular emails from STAND, Oxfam, and Amnesty International because I'm involved with all three, and I get updates on various vigils, protests throughout the world on those. Amnesty is a BIG one and almost always has things going on. </p>
<p>Local universities might organize their own protests too. I live 15 miles from Northern Illinois University, and every Friday night they protest on the Lincoln Highway. Unfortunately I work Friday nights!</p>
<p>Oh, and Just_Browsing...I don't think I've heard about that. But of course! :)</p>
<p>I haven't gone to anyone of them and I never plan on going :)</p>
<p>I think I have been to one party since 8th grade, after that I just thought "I am wasting my time here" -> all they do in parties is gossip.</p>
<p>I haven't gone to any.
I've been asked, but I'm not interested.</p>
<p>Aww, prom is so much fun! Plus it's part of the quintessential high school experience :-)</p>
<p>meh, I don't feel like spending the money</p>
<p>This thread makes me cry for the people on this site...</p>

<p>Does that imply none? Or does it imply too many? ;)</p>

<p>As in, we're too unsocial? :p</p>
<p>==
Oh, and do your parents host/go to parties? Grown-up parties are so boring. They just do nothing but dine and talk about nothing interesting/important. I would never want to go to one of those...</p>
<p>Oh yeah, if you mean, parties as a result of my parents (and characteristically, their azn friends), then I've been to more. I tried to study through them, but ultimately failed and ended up seeking attention. =P Though in the past I'd actually play. Now I'm growing old. =(</p>
<p>But yeah, no parties for the rest of my life, I think...</p>
<p>No because there haven't been any as of yet. (10th gr.) But I was asked to a nonexistent prom two days ago and rejected the asker. It was a golden moment.</p>
<p>At my school, they only hold senior prom, but in general, no. I went to one dance in middle school, the very first dance in 6th grade. After that, I knew it was just a waste of time. I might miss out on some drama, but I don't care about that stuff anyway.</p>
<p>I've pretty much resolved to skip my senior prom.</p>
<p>I haven't missed a dance yet. This year's homecoming and last year's prom sucked, but all the other homecoming dances I went to were tons of fun. This year's prom should be amazing too!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not too many...just a few fun ones. ;)</p>
<p>i have gone to one prom at 8 grade and to some parties in bogota and barranquilla after that.</p>
