Back In Time - The Prom

That's right - I went to prom last night.

That's right - they have prom in law school.

How did this compare to my prom 14 years ago? Let's see:

1996
Got my hair and nails done (professionally)
Purchased a Gown
Got a date
Went to a nice dinner with my date and our friends
Had pictures and danced
Had post party at my house with movies and munchies (one of the besties consumed an entire bag of BBQ Lays by herself)

2010
A friend did my hair and nails (looked professional)
Wore a gown I already had - thanks Mom's second wedding
Didn't have a date in the traditional manner
Had dinner, but given the cost of the event the food was not sufficient
Had pictures and danced
Had lots of booze and was a catty bitch
Had post party at my house with movie, wine and cheese

All in all about the same - but surprisingly more drama the second time around. And you wouldn't think you could top the drama that was my prom date being in love with his friend's girl friend. Apparently, you can. It's called one of your friends bringing a girl he'd met less than 24 hours before to the function instead. And me being a snotty cow about it - but that's probably a story for another time.
