Following on from pops school thread. What was your year 12 formal like (assuming you went that far in school)?
For me it was the night that I first proposed marriage to MrsTripto. I was blindingly drunk though, so asked her again sober a few weeks later...she still said yes!
I didn't go to mine but was not allowed to go with my friend to hers because they wouldn't let her take a girl.
I had the after formal party at my place. My mum made everyone breakfast in the morning too, coz she's rad. I got drunk and ended up skating my halfpipe (which was in my bedroom at the time) instead of deflowering my formal date. Well, i'm sure her flower had been de'ed a long time before that, but y'know.
I kissed my date and shortly after he vomitted all over himself. Yes, it was a particularly classy affair.
couldn't get a date for it. got very drunk and stoned in the parking lot later. was awesome!
I was going out with a boy I really liked and it was lovely. Lots of people who had been mean to me for the whole year apologized. I wore a pink dress.
I have no I got drunk, or had a lesbian/group sex experience, or took drugs story so I have no credibility here.
got limo there, got limo to after party, that was the highlight
"Well, i'm sure her flower had been de'ed a long time before that"
yes, i can assure you it was
*smug swagger*
it was fucking awful. one of the most boring, unentertaining night ever and it was on a monday night!
I took someone i had a crush on for a year; hired the limo and all that. She ended up getting on to the class jock.
Mine was ok actually... but the after party sucked.. actually so did my yr 10 after party when there was a man with a machete running around out the front.... at least i was too drunk to care then... yr 12 there was no booze flowing at all... meh
all boys school -we didn't have one
i wanna meet mama 6'er.
I guess you lot didn't have year 10 ones as well? Ahhh...the beauty of the ACT school system. I spent a good 2 hours alseep in a gutter on that night, until a girl I went to school with (not my date, not sure what happened to her) stumbled past & woke me up.
yeah 11 was was ok. i took a crush, now current ex bf. some girl had a same dress as me. i can't remember much more then that.
year 12 formal sucked. took a friend who spent the entire night outside smoking. he wore a star wars tie
all boys school -we didn't have one
The same sex schools here still have them. I went to a year 12 formal for an all-girls school as a date for my Godparents daughter. What a nice boy I was.
so tripto, that either means you got engaged very young, or finished high school really late.
tripto, that is so beautiful i want to give you a hug.
i went to two, my best friend's and my own.
i was my best friend's date (and the only female couple there), i was wearing boots and had a mohawk, the most popular girl in school got taken away by paramedics for drinking too much, we went to cherry afterwards.
at my own i went stag and wore the same boots and black pvc, got an award with a good friend (again, female) for being 'best dancing couple', went back to the marriott and smoked drugs. fucking awesome.
we had a year 10 one. the virtues of having senior high schools. notable only for the sight of a shiny red satin dress bouncing around on top of some pony tailed metal dude. and the round of applause that followed.
we danced like dickheads, and it was almost a 'Hermoine at the yule ball' moment, everyone thought i looked amazing, cos it was probably the first time most of them had seen me with full makeup and with hair done.
the after party was meant to be in the city, at arizonas, which would have been all ages, but some of the popular girls weren't allowed to come, so they moved it to hunters, a club in the shire, which then made it over 18s, and a lot of people then couldn't get in. i drank a lot of vodka & raspberrys and avoided my ex best friend who had dropped out of school months before but showed up to the after party. i don't think i pashed anyone.

She's pretty magical. Even worried about our welfare when hundreds of drunkded kids started falling through our pools decking instead of killing us. We also hit up my dad's big 4 ltr bottle of Johnny Walker. I only had one party at my own house, and I made the motherfucker count. Twas biiiig.

Didn't go, was the only one in my year of about 100 people who didn't.
I went to 7 formals in yr 11 and 12. Two were my own the rest I was asked as a date too.
I only ever took friends to mine and boys that I knew would have a wide social group so I could palm them off and dance with my mates. Both the ones I chose were great.
As for the 5 that I was invited to.....
Date 1: He was the year level drug dealer, so I was sorted all night. Probably the best date. Had also been my first kiss four years earlier but we were just mates on this. I don't know what's happened to him - probably still dealing if he hasen't fried his brain completely.
Date 2: The year level dweeb. Myself and four friends were asked by him and his four mates. We hid in the bathrooms all night gossiping with other girls about how crap the blokes were there. We just wanted to get dressed up and drink champaigne
Date 3: He mistakenly thought I was attracted to him, but I didn't even know who he was when he called to ask me out. I bolted early.
Date 4: We had been a couple but were over the week before and he ended up making out with a girl I introduced him to. pric.
dATE 5: He was the school captain and didn't know any girls so one of his mates set us up. Once my formal date duties were over, I spent the night kissing a very good looking male friend of mine on the dance floor.
Ah the memories - and I still like all my dresses.
you could afford more than 1 dress? woah! the majority of the girls at my formal all wore strange dresses that had some weird metallic look when they were in the light and changed colour. looked tacky and i'm guessing expensive. but my dress was 20bux all up and my shoes $70. shoes were skanky as all hell and the skirt clung to my body like lycra and at this stage i had no ass.. who am i kidding.. i still have no ass. i liked my 10buck halter though, that was nice. the next time it was worn a friend of mine borrowed it to go out to Cheers for the first time... hmm never worn it since.
we used to have 'competitions' to see who could find the cheapest, but still nice looking dress
the science nerds got their hands on a large 50? ltr canister of laughing gas. classic scene: bouncer coming up to girl after just breathing in a bagful: bouncer: what are you doing? girl: ummm..I've got asmha eye contact made, strange perplexed look from bouncer 5 seconds of silence 6 seconds later...girl wailing on the floor doubled up in tears laughing like a hyena.
Mine was on Friday night. Pretty uneventful. Smoked way too much pot at the afterparty and vomited in some guys sink. That's about the extent of my debauchery. Quite unexciting in comparison to some of these replies. :(
ew... memories.
i took fagtrick. we pashed at the after party. a boy named john swallowed my best friends emerald earrings.
godless. a terrible, terrible night. so many pairs of fancy pants.
laughing gas.. freakin' aye!
we didn't have a formal. we had the deb ball in year 11. i didn't do it cause my dad thought it was stupid. actually none of the wogs girls did it. it was seen as an anglo thing. i went along and got drunk for the first time on west coast coolers. or island coolers.
in year 12 we had a formal graduation dinner with our families. my brother being 16 got pissed on crown lager. it was all pretty boring. we got to have a school dance in year 12 with the year 11s.
my school sucked. at uni we had formal balls. they were funny and full of epople throwing up in the gutter. there was a mcdonalds down the road and they'd get drunken folk there all night.
my year twelve formal was in the middle of the geelong botanical gardens, it was a dry event because 90% of the attending students were johava's witness's or devoted christians. i wore a purple suit with purple crocodil skinned shoes, no it wasn't a tacky suit at all. everybody was going to stay where it was held and go for a swim, play table tennis, play pool etc. it got to 3 in the morning and i decided christians are arseholes and i went and spent the next 18 hours straight at a pub, 8 of them was by myself talking to some elderly man who clearly had a bigger alchohol problem than i had.
yeah 12 formal. so bad. my date was my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years who had broke up with me about a month before. had just gotten back from schoolies where i had contracted chicken pox. sexy to the extreme maximum. my school was so sparse of female talent there wasn't even a drunk cute back up plan to have fun with at the after formal.
year 12 formal...at the Sofitel on Melb's Collins St. Rhonda Burchmore 'sang' before stopping mid-song to say, 'wait, I've just got to take the Soother outta my mouth!"
My year 12 formal was craptacular. We had it in a hotel in Parramatta where we were served, amongst other things, chicken in banana sauce. Truly revolting. I was fighting with one of my best mates at the time (no longer) and didn't have a date. And I had the worst make up on, done by a friend's well-meaning sister who was training to be a beautician, I looked like a drag queen. But at least my dress was alright.
I took a friend to my Year 12 formal. She was another dude's girlfriend. It pissed him off. It also pissed off my girlfriend, but she wasn't around when I asked my friend to come.
Afterwards, we went to some rich kids house in Brighton, and a friend of mine came and dealt drugs to them all.
My year 12 formal was at Newcastle Entertainment centre because it was the only place that would fit all 550 of us, plus our parents and some grandparents. It was more of a speech night and I spent the whole time waiting in lines to on onstage and get awards. My shoes made my feet bleed but I looked great. No date, no pash, I was the designated driver because I didn't look like the pic on my fake ID when I was drunk. Afterwards everyone headed to our school's fave pub/nightclub, one of Newcastle's classy establishments. I'm glad it's over really.
mine was one of the worst days / nights of my life so far, i don't remember being that unhappy since
bump for this thread, coz i reckon the schoolz some of youse cunce attended held raffles or sales of student's works or something equally horrible rather than actual formals. tell me. c'mon.
not you 'slayer!
Did any ones formal have a king and queen? Mine did and it was shit. They chose the most stuck up cunt and an Asian girl..
I almost went and saw Beasts Of Bourbon instead of going to mine. I kinda wish I had. I took my friend and some lame guy took the gal I wanted. At the after party someone vomited all down my jeans and I spent the rest of the night in striped thermal leggings.
