Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

Ok so I'm finally in 11th grade so I get to go to the junior/senior prom :) I'm super excited, I already have a date (my boyfriend of over a year) and a dress (it's short so I won't trip on it because I am accident prone lol and it's dark blue so I don't have to worry so much about spilling stuff on it) and all of my friends and I are going to go out to eat before prom and then after it we're going to go hang out somewhere. I've never been to prom, so I don't really know how it goes. I know it's different for every school, but does anyone have any advice so I can make it the perfect prom night? Any thing I need to have that might be easy to overlook? Also, if anyone has any experiences they'd like to share, I'd be happy to hear it :) Thank you! (link)

First thing: relax. Prom is a lot of fun, but little things will go wrong. Don't sweat them. Your hair, nails, shoes, etc. may not be perfect, but don't worry about them. Try not to get a table too close to the speakers, or else you'll spend the whole evening shouting over the music. If one of your friends is driving, make sure he/she stays completely straight and sober. Don't be afraid to ditch your friends or your date if they do something that's dangerous, stupid, or humiliating. Otherwise, just relax, have fun, and enjoy the evening. It'll be one of the high points of your life. (My senior prom was memorable: the girl I took spent most of the night dancing with my best friend. Things went downhill after that. I saw her again 15 years later; she was a security guard. As soon as she recognized me she went for her gun, then remembered she couldn't shoot me in public.) Anyway, hope you have better luck than I did!
