But some people are able to not take things seriously while they're teenagers, lucky souls. <br /><br />About the stories--I may take you up on that! They're nothing really exciting; just your run of the mill teenage rule breaking ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962195808757078787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332318012806803673.post-52865165747565425032012-04-19T10:30:20.922-04:002012-04-19T10:30:20.922-04:00I know, me too!

It's funny how we can be so ambivalent about an event and yet so fixated on getting the dress "right."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962195808757078787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332318012806803673.post-88992344006660108682012-04-19T10:22:06.283-04:002012-04-19T10:22:06.283-04:00I'm not sure why I noticed the difference. It ...I'm not sure why I noticed the difference. It happened in high school, that's all I remember. I never wore dresses either! But since they're the default female dressy clothes, it had to be a dress. It is a little crazy to spend that much on one night, just like with a wedding. But it's tradition (or something)!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962195808757078787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332318012806803673.post-57135500077948455322012-04-19T10:20:18.264-04:002012-04-19T10:20:18.264-04:00I wish I could think of other examples where the u...I wish I could think of other examples where the use of an article says something about the way people think about what they're speaking about, but I'm drawing a blank.<br /><br />My style really didn't change at all, I don't think. But somehow the junior year pictures got misplaced along the way!

It's funny how much my style changed from junior to senior year.

Huh I'll have to think about this some more later. Yes the dresses are hard and when you A) never wear a dress, and B) still can't believe proms cost that much, it is serious.Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06122803397688591111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332318012806803673.post-44996537696888602982012-04-18T15:31:28.594-04:002012-04-18T15:31:28.594-04:00The dress was such a big deal.

Both years I went, it was pretty much the only thing I took super-seriously, lol.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553993991195412089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332318012806803673.post-1021841815816689432012-04-18T15:18:04.228-04:002012-04-18T15:18:04.228-04:00Picking a dress can be like making a statement but...Picking a dress can be like making a statement but sometimes I wonder, if we shouldn´t worry about the statement and just have fun with it :D (yes I am an overthinker as well :D) and by the way, you got me totally intrigued with your stories you don´t want to share on the blog (you got my email address...)Elodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617288449988402123noreply@blogger.com
