Not too much... just a load of dancing, we were in the Marriot my Junior year and I think Sheraton the Senior year... Prom was fun.. Frankly don't remember too much.. Got the senior prom photos taken... Huge 04 and 05 ice sculptures. Only problem had with my prom was that they had this DJ that played shitty rap music or whatnot. Otherwise the 2 times I went I loved it.

We jumped into a pool. It was great, then we went to a friend's house and stayed most of us until 8 AM (Y)

I had prom already.

let me tell you, it was an utter nightmare.

First of all, I went through complete hell with the whole tux. Everything was incorrectly measured, it wasn't laundred, the shoes were scuffed, all the florists were closed and I had a hell of a time finding a boutineer, etc. Then I got a ticket for running a red light (when it was yellow...?). Then I found out that a lot of the people who I had respect for were really just drunk and stoned out of their minds, so out went the respect factor there. The prom itself was really kind of.... eh, lame. Nobody really was there. They were all out drinking and such.

So. I went to a part afterwards thinking hey, I can make this all better by just hanging out and it will make the shitty day all better. Eh, no. After getting lost and not being able to find it, I arrive there and proceed to drive my truck into a marshland, completely unaware that it was wet. It sinks into two feet of mud in a heartbeat. I go to look for someone to help me... lol, good luck. Wall to wall people smoking pot, lol. So yeah, good luck with help from them. Finally I found a friend who did help me... but let me tell you, after that, I wanted nothing to do with the party... way too sketch for me.

So... why am I telling you all of this? Simple. Don't get your hopes up on prom. I did, and it sucked. Everyone goes in thinking prom will be this perfect night... maybe it will be, but it likely wont. I know these girls who had planned for months on their prom dresses only to throw up all over them.

I might post pics of me in my tux.. that was... funny to say the least.

All white tux, all the way!

Ah, prom. My friends and I had vowed to lose our virginity on prom night after several embarrassing misadventures, one of which involved my Dad, Eugene Levy. What followed was a night not soon to be forgotten at Stifler's mum's place on the lake.

Or maybe that was American Pie. High school was a while ago.

Actually, my prom (or formal, as we call them here) was cool. No amazing stories to tell but our year was pretty close and my immediate group of friends was a pretty tight clique, in fact we still hang out regularly, so it was a great night where we (the whole year, that is) all enjoyed hanging out together after finishing our exams, before moving on to the Next Step. We didn't toast it at a place called Dog Years, though.

Prom Junior year- Ruled aside from MTV following me around was great. I was with a girl i loved, some of our best friends, and was everything everyone made prom out to be
Prom Senior Year-sucked monkey balls. Was with a friend who had a boyfriend and the entire night turned into a quest to go get her boyfriend. Then guys got kicked out of the "party" because there were 10th graders there and one of their moms freaked and demanded no guys be present the entire night. Ended up with 3 of my other friends at Denny's at 4 AM and am unsure how loneliness can be that present in 4 people, but it was.

Where was the 4 wheel drive Axel?

by **Axel** on Sun May 20, 2007 1:03 pm

It was 4 wheel drive... but it didn't help.

It was a Chevy Silverado extended cab w/ 4wd .... sunk like a rock. I needed some traction to get it out I guess. We got it out with my friend's Yukon.

Joke? If not, MTV followed you around?

my senior prom was at Universal Studios in Hollywood at the Ball Hall or something like that where it was pretty much a movie set of a small French or Italian town.

I went stag. it was tight.

Yup, True Life "I'm in a Wheelchair"

by **The Other Kevin** on Sun May 20, 2007 2:01 pm

Well you said that they could, right? Or did they just stalk the first teenager in a wheelchair they could find?

by **Oznogrd** on Sun May 20, 2007 2:10 pm

Sent an email to em for a casting call with all these altruistic reasons to be on tv, and not a damn one was on the show. They edited everything to make everything that was unimportant seem like a big deal. Oh well Oh hell.

You should send an e-mail to MTV Pimp My Ride illini.
Your wheelchair would be pimpin'.
Hydraulics, spinners, NOs, killer sound system, and the works.

by **Oznogrd** on Mon May 21, 2007 1:34 am

lol and i'd have to add a motor cuz i wouldnt be able to push with all that shit on it, but yeah it'd be pretty fuckin sweet.

by **The Other Kevin** on Mon May 21, 2007 11:40 am

We should start a petition. For illini!

You need a winch on that sucker, lol. Actually anyone I know with a winch on their truck purchased it purely for aesthetic purposes and never would've used it. I suppose you could've though.

Was it a 1500, 2500, or 3500?

by **Mazzocchi** on Mon May 21, 2007 2:26 pm

I'd rather not talk about my prom.

Well it does have a reese hitch on it, but no need for a winch. It's a 1500.

We found a heavy chain and just looped it through this hollowed out rectangular piece on the back end (I dont know what it's called). It came out pretty easy, but finding the chain was a bitch.

Plus the cops were coming as I was sitting there so it was stressful haha.

Don't talk about it, then. We don't want to hear it.

I second that.
The weight is no problem illini, we could request Xzibit to put a motor to your wheelchair similar to the Segway.
