prom week day 4
05/01/2008 = 07:34 AM

Thursday May 1 - Prom photos.

I'd like to start out by saying that, so far, I've enjoyed myself far more at Blog Prom than I did at my senior prom, and also that I've spent less money, even without having borrowed a dress and bought my shoes at Sears for $10 (ridiculously petty cash for dress shoes, even in 1989).

Today is Picture Day. I was supposed to have searched high and low for my actual prom pictures, scanned them, and sent them to Sunshine to be posted.

However, said pictures are in a box somewhere and I cannot remember which box, specifically, which gives you an idea of how often I revisit that phase of my life.

Never mind. I'm having more fun at this prom. I like my table mates more.

I like my dates better. Instead of having to make nice with a guy I'd rather have been broken up with, just so I wouldn't have to give up prom (thanks, hetero lifemate, for that important piece of advice), I have three total dates.

Three. None of whom needed to be cajoled into taking me.

I started the week with only two dates, incidentally, which is why there are only three of us in the picture. On Prom Week Day 2, though, Tim asked me as well, and I accepted, because one can never have too many dates for Blog Prom.

Unlike real prom, being late for Blog Prom is not a sin punishable by death or worse (worse being ostracism by one's peers till graduation, which is when one realizes that none of it matters any more, including algebra).

There are, as opposed to my original prom, about twenty people at my table and I like all of them very much. Furthermore, if any of them decide they want to cool off their hoochies or vomit, I won't be obligated either to look or to hold hair.

So if you want to come to prom now, there's still time. You could even show up next week if you want, but we'll already have moved on to the Next Thing, so you might be a bit lonely.

Anyway, without further ado, here is my new prom picture.

Please note that the portrait of myself is not completely accurate. The online doll generators do not permit fat chicks to generate fat dolls of themselves, because it's not fair to the pretty people, or something. However, I don't particularly care, because my virtual hair is not nearly as lustrous and soft as my actual hair, so pbbblllttt on the online doll generators.
