So, it has been a LONG time since I last posted. Like a LONG ASS time.
So, recently I have decided I am agnostic for a number of reasons; these reasons I am not exactly ready to share with the world as they are of a sensitive nature. But, I do know there is some sort of god out there.. I just don't think it's this "Jesus" Christians talk about. A God that cannot keep his promises and yet claims he is without fault is a liar, and I don't waste my time with liars.
On a lighter note....
Prom is coming up. And I laugh at all the losers who think it is actually a big deal.
I mean SERIOUSLY. At my school, you pay $65 PER TICKET. So if you have a date, it's $130 for the tickets alone. Then, you gotta buy a dress or a tux or whatever. That is, if you're lucky, at least $50 dollars for the both of you, so that's $230. Then there is dinner! Can't forget that. Now if you decide to have dinner at one person's house, that's different, but let's say you are gonna splurge and eat out. Most likely you are gonna pick a really nice place to eat, right? I mean, you don't wanna walk into McDonalds all gussied up like that. So you are probably gonna pay around $40 for dinner. Now you are up to $270. Next you have to get TO Prom. Most likely you are gonna drive, and that costs gas. Our Prom is in Seattle this year in the Colombia Tower, and the school is in Stanwood. That's an additional $40 in gas alone. And that's one way! So you are talking more like $80. So that racks up the total to $350. And then who is gonna drive back to Stanwood at midnight when it ends? No one with common sense. So you need a hotel room. Now you're talking, if you are lucky, $90. Now it's up to $440.And then you gotta eat the next morning. If you go to McDonalds, thats an additional $10; if not, it can be as expensive as $25. We'll go with that figure; now your grand total is $465. For ONE DATE. Do you see the rationale for that kind of splurge spending? I don't. My family has never had a lot of money, so I cannot justify spending that much money on one dance. It's just a dance. That's all. People may say it isn't, but what makes it any different from Homecoming or Tolo? The exclusivity from the underclassmen for sure, and then a fancy location. It's really just a stupid excuse to spend money. With the $465, I could have many dates, a lot more memories, and I will have spent my money a lot more wisely. Even if you eliminate the cost of everything besides the tickets, I still can't justify $130, and I would never let a guy spend that much money on me. Prom is a waste of time and money and is overhyped. How about we spend this energy we spend on Prom on something more worthy?
As for me, I am having an anti- Prom. Just me, my snacks, my VCR, and VHS versions of my favorite Disney movies. Awwwww yeeeaaahhhhhh.
