Addendum

Carly has indeed taken me up on my offer to answer an additional question, and so here we have it:

I don't know why I was thinking about this, but I don't think we've ever really discussed prom... Not that it's a super important thing. But anyway, did you go to your prom? If so, who did you go with? If not, why not? Tell me about it.

The arts high didn't have a prom, per se. We had this thing called Gala that was basically a half-assed prom. No dinner, no fancy clothes (well, some people did), no special transportation, no corsages, very few dates, no court and crowning, just a dance. In... man, I don't even remember where it was. I went my junior year, with a group of friends--I think the people I rode with were Jesse, Krissti, and Alan? But I hung out with my friend Devin most of the night, I believe. I was pretty miserable if I remember right. (Devin, are you reading this? I was miserable, right?) I didn't go my senior year because, well, I was miserable. I did, however, help several of my friends prepare for their proms. That's about it.

A huge part of me wished I could go to Armstrong's prom, just for the whole experience, and because all my friends were going. In fact, I was kinda peeved that I didn't get invited as the non-date of a few single friends. But in hindsight, this was probably for the best. I would have been so uncomfortable all night, and probably not very happy. I was not a party girl, I probably would have dragged down my friends' nights. So it's for the best, but... yeah. Somehow even though I didn't really go to prom, I have bittersweet feelings about it anyway.

For added fun? My Gala pictures are online, starting here.
