Proms:
I don't recall going Jr year, but my Sr year I actually had a gf from out of state who came down for it. She stayed at my grandparent's house in town. She was always one to have the flat straight black hair look, but for prom (1986, mind you) I arrive to pick her up and her hair was teased (think, electrical socket) in all kinds of directions. I was good about biting my lip, knowing she put a lot of effort into it, but my lord that was the ugliest she looked in all our time together. Bonus points - because she flew down for several days, and I knew her favorite singer of Bryan Adams was playing in Jax, I surprised her with tickets to the show. I'd never gone to the Jax arena before, we had no mobile devices for directions, I was going by memory of paper maps (should have kept maps in the car) and took the shortcut near stark that dumps you onto I-95 just north of Jax. And...proceeded to go the wrong way on the interstate. Hauling ass up 95 trying to find a place to turn around and get back to the show...pulled over for speeding by a very unsympathetic cop. We got to the show eventually, but I've hated Bryan Adams ever since. And no, no pics.
Homecoming:
Sophmore year, bunch of us from the soccer team jumped in cars after a game and went, still sweaty but did change into decent street clothes. Best part for me was riding in some tiny car driving by Randy the "Jammin Jamaican" down 8th Ave from Citizen's field back to the school gym (GHS) at about 80mph.
Junior year - just guys hanging out watching girls.
Senior year - one of my best friends (from Buchholz) was dating one of my classmates, and we had another guy friend and his girlfriend (all from my school)....and I'm riding along as the 5th wheel. That wasn't bad, as I knew everyone and got along with everyone, and this was during a 'no girlfriend' period, so I'm fine flying solo. All good until after the dance. The 5 of us hit Skeeters on 13th for a late night bite, and the two guys hit the restroom for awhile leaving me with the girls. The wimmens drop into wimmen talk as they are wont to do but conversation quickly turned to discussions of blowjobs, how often they are giving them, and that one was getting a blister on the roof of her mouth. All this, while virgin me (yes, all thru HS) is listening and wondering - why am I being subject to this? It's not something I'm experienced with and can relate, there's nothing 'educational' I can glean from it for my future reference, this is simply gross talk about two of my guy friends by their dates. Awkward.
