I’m going to be very honest. I was never allowed to go to any kind of school dance, party, homecoming, prom, etc., and I really never cared. I still don’t care. It’s almost the end of the year now and a lot of other schools have already had their Prom (working at Target at least keeps you on top of news and gossip). My fellow Target employees were very excited to share their prom nights and I listened “intently” to what they had to say (not really). They even felt they had to share their stories with customers…like they really had that dying urge to hear about it…Really, who cares?
I think Prom and all those other little “like-oh-my-god-let’s-dress-up” parties are pretty lame and overrated. There’s way to much hype over all that business and it costs so much money on top of that. I mean, I’m sure people go for the “high school experience”, but I doubt you’re ever going to think about it again unless you happen to maybe run into your date 20 years later or it’s your child’s prom and he/she is complaining about how badly they want something (like that $1,000 dress she may only wear once in her lifetime but hey it is a once in a lifetime chance to go to Prom!). The cost of makeup, hair, tuxedo, limo, and all that other stuff is beyond reasonable. People are just trying to make money off of you, whether it’s the school or the salon. I don’t know if it’s my super penny-pinching Indian/Asian senses, but I think the whole idea of Prom or whatever is just ridiculous. Oh well!
After that looong current event blog, I hope I kept this short and sweet...Well at least short. :)
Enjoy the picture! Yes, it was photo-shopped.
