My school has a junior prom in like April or something, and the juniors and seniors can go, but if they have an underclass date the date can get in too. Then about a week before graduation they have the actual prom, which only the seniors and their dates, no matter what year, can go to. Then after graduation they have grad nite, which is basically a party in the gym from after graduation til about 7 the next morning. - --kyla ===== AIM: canadan2 ICQ: 37135028 ?:^) marion sez: hi everyone! we miss u cedric! if i said you were crazy, would you have to fight me? - -moxy früvous, gulf war song __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My school was really small (K-12 was about 350 people) so it didn't pay to just have a senior prom .. they had the "high school" prom but the seniors got to sit up on this balcony away from everyone else. If you want to hear what's really pathetic, I went twice -- 9th and 11th -- and had blind dates both times. They both sucked. But funny thing is, a friend of mine ALSO had a blind date in 11th grade and she thought HER date sucked worse than mine. We spent at least a half hour comparing their merits or lack thereof (though of course what we should have been doing was being grateful that some poor schmucks were nice enough to do this for us) ... the irony (and you knew there had to be some, right???) was that I met HER blind date a year later and fell madly and passionately in obsession with him and we were involved off and on for all of college.

Essentially, they're marshmallows. But they're extruded into delightful shapes - -- first chickies (the original Peeps), then Bunnies, and now all sorts of not-just-Christian-holiday-anymore forms. After shaping, they're apparently run through a tub of granular sugar, then painted in weird fluorescent colors that scare Leah (and me too. The teal is just grotesque.) They're made by Just Born, Inc of Bethlehem PA, and are sold practically everywhere in the holiday-preceding season, in boxes that'll run you anywhere from @$.59 to @$1.29.

Twenty years down the line, you could say, "Yeah, I never went to my senior prom, I went to a concert instead. It was a *great* show, and I totally enjoyed it, but I can't help feeling I'm missing out on this pop culture phenomenon, and don't have the memories of spending a fun night with my friends." Or, you could say, "Yeah, I missed this concert by going to the prom, but you know what? I'm glad I did. I caught them the next time they were in town, and had such a good time at that concert that it pretty much made up for missing them that once."
