Prom is next year for me and I'm not too terribly interested. I've never gone to a dance that wasn't mandatory (what's up with having a mandatory graduation dance at the end of 8th grade?) I've only ever worn a tux once it my life for a wedding in which I was a jr. groom's man or something like that and it was horribly uncomfortable, but that might have been because it was in a building with no air-conditioning, it was 80-some degrees, and there were loads of candles right behind me.

Honestly, though, I don't see why prom is supposed to be so magnificent. Unless I have a girlfriend at the time (knowing me that's unlikely) I don't think I'll be going. This year prom costs $75 and that's without the cost of the rented tux and the whole shabang and I really don't feel like blowing so much money to just go and sit around doing nothing.

I have promised myself that if I do end up going I'm having my sister teach me to dance first.
