Personal Ramblings due to Glee

I'm gonna cut this cause well there is a slight Glee spoiler for Prom that basically everyone knows but yeah it's more personal high-school experience then anything else.
So ok in High School I was anything but popular, I was a band geek and had my little group of friend. I had major acne(giant pores that absorb everything I still fight it) and overweight.
So every year we ballot vote for Coming Home Court(like homecoming but for football) each grade gets 2 girls then the seniors get 3 and one is queen. So anyway Junior year the boys decided that they would do this great thing and all vote for me and the 2 other girls in my grade that were really less then popular. So I get called to the teacher in charge and told I had been nominated, and first I refused and really wanted to cry, but later I went back and said yes I would do it.
So yeah glee tonight made me remember that, and my heart ache for Kurt cause I know that feeling, that being blindsided and feeling that everyone is just being a cruel as can be. I don't regret accepting though, end the end I got to wear a pretty dress, ride around in a very expensive car and the guys all pissed off their girlfriends and the teachers were insanely supportive and said if anyone did/said anything they would be all over it. So yeah it really backfired on them but anyway
/end random trip down memory lane.

I was totally Mercedes, except I didn't have a Sam to save me from the stigma of going to prom alone. I asked the guy I was crushing on (who was already taking someone else), my dance partner in the musical that year (whose parents wouldn't let him go) and then another guy who I was on the newspaper staff with in a fit of desperation (who boycotted the prom because it was stupid.)

Date: 2011-05-11 03:26 am (UTC)My senior prom, we had terrible DJs who didn't play requests and played really crappy music and it was REALLY HOT (it was 95 degrees that day and we had no a/c in the gym) and they wouldn't let us leave for fear that we would all get drunk in the parking lot. The McDonalds wasn't even open 24/7 in my town at that point, so when we got out, there was nowhere to go (except after prom, which was okay I guess....) and my parents had already vetoed allowing me to go to IHOP in the other neighboring town 30 minutes away after after prom.
To sum it up: prom is lame.

Date: 2011-05-11 05:06 am (UTC)I didn't go to prom because at the time I would rather pretend that it didn't matter to me than go through the hurt of not being asked since I was pretty much like you except I did yearbook instead of band. People I didn't know would walk up to me all the time and call me yearbook girl and ask me for things.
