  9. You went to prom? I was on an internship in our state capital during my senior year, and only came back to graduate.

  10. Wow, with the exception of Topper and Derek, you are all apparently soooo cool.

    For heaven's sake, the prom is a classic rite of passage for many.

    That said:

    "We've Got Tonight" by Bob Seger.

  11. "Forever Young" by Alphaville. Even though that song came out a few years before we graduated, it was still the way we felt about ourselves back in the 80s.

  12. "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" by Elvis. My prom was in 2002. I have NO idea why that song won.

  23. @Kelly, you were an intern at your state capital? That's cool.

    I spent a summer as a senate page in DC for our Senator at the time my Jr. year. Were people jealous of you, too?

  28. They only played one song at your prom? Was Mom's record player broken? Or did she just shut off the power to the basement at 8:15?

  29. I don't know, I remember a whole group of us singing along to "Don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith. But I'm gonna say Gimme More by Britney, Bitch. And we left our graduation to the Breakfast Club Classic as chosen by our year advisor.

  31. Prom? I didn't go. Went to the strip bar with a dozen or so guys that didn't want to go either. Morgana the kissing bandit was the feature that night. I have a polaroid somewhere with her breasts on my head.

  36. I didn't know proms actually had songs. We had a senior class song that is going to seriously date me: Forever Young by Alphaville.

  37. @Rowdy, they were totally jealous, which was really silly. Most of the downstate kids were accepted into the program, because so few of us applied. I worked for a Chicago-area state representative, whose biggest career contribution was her annual submission of "The Bunny Bill". It was designed to prohibit testing of cosmetics on animals.

    The kids in the program stayed with "house parents", local families who agreed to let us live in their homes for the semester in exchange for a small stipend. My house mom, Gail, had been in Bill Clinton's first gubernatorial cabinet, as the head of the Arkansas Department of Human Services. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about him.

    I had a lot of fun, and I learned a lot of good things about government. The biggest thing I learned was that maybe politics isn't for me. The artifice, by both politicians and the workers behind the scenes, shattered my naivete. I left the place with a view a little less like "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington," and a little more like "Primary Colors." The program was discontinued a few years ago.

    I hope your experience in DC was a much better one.
