Re: Prom. I don't remember a single song from either prom. I remember the dinners beforehand and hanging out around Lake Calhoun, but that's it.

I don't remember much about Prom Night, either, as far as music is concerned. I remember I tried to get laid, but it didn't happen.

I think my Official Prom Song was "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, as it probably was for hundreds of high schools in the ten years immediately following the release of Say Anything. I also remember dancing to the Macarena.

I didn't attend my proms. I don't know the themes or the songs. I wish I knew them.
I didn't get laid.

i got my dress for $20 from a thrift store. but it was awesome. except that the back seam split up to my lower back. so it was mended with staples, and thereafter wasn't particularly comfortable to wear.

There is an Estela on ILX with only one L. She is from Australia.
― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 11 September 2006 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link
My dad has always been of the opinion that she should add an L because it confuses so many Americans.

Looking back I wish I had made a move on the secret crush friend and not ever dated the girlfriend in the first place.

I recognized all of Jenny's quotes. I sang them as I read them. I doubt I'd recognize Joan Osbourne lyrics. Wait.. Is that the WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US? Ok, never mind.
Two proms - one with the shortest guy in my class, which was worse than it had to be (He was so self-conscious that he never shared with me the pix his parents took of us in front of their rose bushes/ At the after party, he fell asleep and I had to sit beside him to protect him from these guys who kept trying to mess with him), the other one was with a big group of younger single girls (none of my friends my age were allowed to go without dates because it was Louisana and their moms were annoying)Off to read about baby names.

I just checked and I didn't see where Jenny posted any quotes. Am I missing something?

I think she meant Jesse.
The only quote I recognized was the Motley Crue one.

I find this to be false. I almost always got a seat at Argyle, and get a seat at Addision usually 4 times a week. Even if I don't get one, I can snag one from a switcher at Belmont.

In case this wasn't clear: If I get on at Damen or Paulina and can't get a seat, I can usually get one by the time we get to Belmont, since so many people get up and transfer to the Red Line there.

What have you heard? I don't know anyone that's used it: per that article, it hasn't been in effect since 1995.
