Prom.

okay, so I haven't ever been to prom. my high school didn't do prom. so I don't really understand the whole experience. I have nothing really against prom.
but.
working at a restaurant downtown, I get to people watch all night from the window. prom night graced Chattanooga with its presence.
prom kids were everywhere. and while creepily watching each one of of them, I found there was not ONE dress that was cool on a girl. not ONE couple who looked the least bit comfortable. there were gay hummer limos. and more then one parent coming by the restaurant making sure their child had enough money or "checked in."

maybe I'n just being judgmental.
but what I took away from the night was that prom is lame.
maybe its a subtle bitter resentment for never having one.
either way, i'm happy to have missed out on the skin tight, bright colored dress, overly done up hair, and awkward date trying to prove his coolness by paying for dinner.. with his parents money.
