Yep. That's all of them. Look closely, you may even see that I half didn't care about going to prom. I didn't have a boyfriend. I didn't know any boys interested enough in going to the dance to even consider taking me. Most of my friends weren't going. I didn't want to have to buy or make a dress (see my earlier post about me and finding dress clothes that I like). I didn't have money for a new dress even if I made it. I didn't have some anti-prom party like some of my friends did. By the time my Senior Dinner Dance (our senior prom) I really had no desire to engage in all that headache for one night that didn't even promise to be really fun.
In fact, the only thing that I ever did for prom was get my friend a date. She had never been asked to any school dances up to this point and this was going to be her last chance. I knew she really wanted to go and liked this guy who liked me (that too, was not reciprocal) . They were both seniors and I was a sophomore (and barely 16). I convinced this guy to take my friend (and even helped him devise a way to ask her) before he could even dream of asking me. He didn't have a car or even a driver's license, so I had to find somebody else for them to go with. At least when I asked this other guy to double with them, I didn't have to find him a date!
They all had a good time, and her parents and I explained ourselves (they were in on the secret) after the event was over.

Look at you, you little matchmaker! Ah well, Prom isn't for everybody. I'll be honest, when I saw the title of your post I thought "There is no WAY Sox stooped to the level of going to Prom!"
I probably would have thought less of you had you gone... haha!!
Alex, where are the pictures? I can't see them!
