[apocalypsos]

I never went to my prom. I think I may have stayed home and read a trashy romance novel instead.

And that's today's not-all-that-embarassing admission.

Australians don't have proms. I went to my year 12 formal, though. It was deadly boring. The one conversation, times all the girls in the room: "Hi, love your dress." "Thanks! You look great too! Have you seen so-and-so?"

In my handbag (purchased for the occasion, because I didn't own one, and my huge, decrepit backpack didn't go with the dress) I brought a book and a peanut butter sandwich.

My date was a teddy bear. I brought him with me, and introduced him to everyone as my date. "This is Bunthorne. He's my date." The only intelligent conversation I got all evening was from Bunthorne, and Bunthorne does not talk.
