Geeky Talks
Prom
This week’s Friday Flashback was “Prom memories: what did you do (or not do) on prom night?”
Mr. Flinger would say. “I did not get laid.”
I would say, “Gossiped with friends and danced with a boy with a hardon.”
My Mom would say, “Such good kids, those two. Never worried about them having sex and getting pregnant because I raised a good little Catholic Girl.”
My friends would say, “Smoked pot and gossiped about how much we wanted to get laid.”
Because we all know Prom is about getting laid and not the over priced dresses and stinky corsages.
God I hope my daughter is too cool for prom. I don’t need to read about how much she wanted to get laid on her blog twenty years from now.
*Yes, I went to two Proms and two Winter Balls with Mr. Flinger. Yes we were high school sweethearts. Yes we broke up shortly after High School. Yes, he did get laid. Eventually. Yes, we got married, made babies and yes, we still talk about how much we want to get laid now. It’s the circle of life. Or Karma. Or a cruel cruel joke. Or whatever else you want to call it.

That is seriously the sweetest thing ever that you guys were high school sweethearts and have your old big hair photos to show your kids. Aw!
That dude is oh so young and facial hair-free…you guys look great!
You look so young and innocent. I’m definitely reposting my prom pics.
I actually DID get laid (*neener neener*) and now, 25 years later, I’m still married to my prom date.
(I’m here via twitter)
Let’s just say I didn’t get too Busy that night. Unless you count post-prom bowling as busy.
Oh my gosh, girl, your pictures are TOO AWESOME. I am in, I posted my pictures. I hope Brian forgives me.
You two are adorable. I wish I could find my prom photo. You would appreciate the big hair and enormous, green, poof, 80s sleeves. I went to an all girls Catholic high school, so I only had one prom. And I didn’t not think about getting laid either
Are you with Randy Travis?
I’m in…
I posted my pic on twitter…
And WOW. Just WOW. those are some AWESOME dresses. Do you still have them? You should wear them to BlogHer.
Awesome pictures! I wish I’d have had some from mine to post. God only know what my parents have done with them lol.
There’s Mr. Flinger with hair!
I couldn’t resist you this week so I’m playing along too:

OMG! Ya’ll are so cute.
You know the hubby and I went to senior prom, too.
And he did not get lucky that night.
You guys are adorable!
I’m gonna post on prom tonight too - love this FF!
There are NO prom picture I would want to post (blech) but I have pictures of Jay and I at his second birthday party and his 4th and my 4th- which is cute.
I havent been by in forever, but I just peed on a stick (negative) and it made me think of you lol
Love the pictures!
Great prom story.
I posted pic on twitter.
You and the man look so ADORABLE! Sweet and innocent.
I look like a freaking whore. No joke, go take a look.
These are awesome! Good times..good times! I played along too!
I wrote about my prom flashback in my ‘Meme’...read it here:http://bubblegumuniverse.wordpress.com/2008/03/21/meme-ive-been-tagged/
Skip to #3 and there you go.
great post. what cute pics of the 2 of you!
oh, and my mom would’ve said the same thing about me. 
i posted a pic from a senior year dance on twitter.
You guys look awesome! Sad to say, I got laid years before my prom. By prom time, sex was such a not a big deal. Hmmm…maybe that explains a few things now!!!
I posted this week as well. Don’t you just love 80’s hair??
Those are the cutest pics, Flinger! You guys were & are adorable!!!
No way! Y’all are just too cute.
Those are some sweet pics. I never had a prom. I am pretty sure that a lot of people my age from my neck of the Canadian woods don’t have prom. We do, however, get all dressed for our graduations. And then we have aftergrad, where we all drink until we can’t feel feelings (or hardons) anymore.
gawd, that’s awesome.
Scarily accurate (for me, of course it is for you) depiction.
With it being 25 years since then… I think I need to jump on this flashback fun as well. Time to dig out some bad old photos.
