it's raining on prom night

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I started off well. Cuddled into my blankets for a bit, made myself some yummy breakfast, stretched while making it, etc. Came up here, on AIM Today there was an article about prom getting canceled at this one school. Strikes me as being a little brutal given their reasons. They viewed prom as a time for moral decline. This is what adults think of when they think of prom:

1) Buy a dress in the high hundreds to thousands range.
1.5) Get an expensive hairdo/nails done
2) Rent a limo
3) The date brings a corsage that's obviously worth about $50
4) Go to prom, which involves some highly political cat fight about who's prom queen. Everyone else is dirt.
5) Come back go to a hotel
6) Get drunk
7) Have unprotected sex
8) Get more drunk

Which of course seems stupid. How much of that is ACTUALLY prom? Basically none. You know the reason why they think that? Cuz all the teen movies make prom seem like that. Here's how my prom went down last year.

1) Buy a $20 dress
1.5) Do my own hair and nails
2) Get a date and a few friends
3) Drive ourselves over to prom
4) Enter the one-room place
5) Eat a little
6) Dance
7) Dance
8) Dance
9) Take a break for a minute 'cuz Juan wanted to
10) Dance
11) Dance
12) Dance
13) Prom King/Queen/Prince/Princess voted for, won. I have no idea who won, didn't really matter.
14) Dance
15) Dance
16) Dance
17) Go home
18) Have an ice cream cake w/a few friends
19) Watch Breakfast club
20) Cuddle with friends on the couch
21) Everyone goes home
22) Talk with Juan for a bit
23) Fall asleep (IN SEPERATE ROOMS.)

Voila. Not very dangerous, was it. The one suspicion I'll consent to (well, two) is overpriced dresses and some people get drunk, but I don't know anyone who'd lose their virginity on prom night. So cliche and gross.

Grownups are freaks.
