Hey Josh

Overrated!!!!!

I never thought that would get quoted… Ever… o_o’

I can see how it can create some hype, but I just think it somehow creates TOO MUCH. Do you guys understand what I mean?

James,

It really depends. Going to prom shouldn’t be about going to prom, just to say you went and you really enjoyed the fancy tablecloths and now have a picture to remember the night. Going to prom is all about enjoying a celebration of the end of the year with your friends, and having a great time doing something you normally don’t. If it’s your senior prom, then it can be a cool experience to kind of have one last big event with your entire class before you all split off to college or work.

If you don’t think you and your friends would particularly enjoy dressing up and dancing around with other people for hours on end, then find something else to do. Go to the beach, go camping, have a bonfire, have a party at someone’s house. There’s a ton of other things you can do that would be a lot of fun – just do them with your friends. Prom night is all about having fun doing something you don’t normally do, so do something that you’ll have a blast doing!

Oh, man. You NEVER want me to do something just to get some kicks out of it. Imagine entire networks in my city going down. Imagine fires EVERYWHERE.

Yeah. I’m a pyromaniac hacker. Don’t ever encourage me to do that.

Every time I see “Warning: Flammable” tags, I have to get that item and burn it.

Yep. I’m that crazy.

But these things are fun to me

Well, I guess I could give prom a try. Though, we had other dances before in middle school. I didn’t really like it much. The DJ was crap and the music was even worse.

Middle school dances can be pretty lame. High school dances, at least for me, were a lot more fun. There’s a lot less standing around with your guy friends, and a lot more just hanging out with people of the opposite gender and having fun.

I don’t know what your high school is like, how big the dances are, what grade you’re in, or where you find your DJs, but it’s a pretty safe bet to say that there will be a lot more time and effort put into high school dances than middle school ones.

Glad to hear you’re going. Have some fun, and don’t light anything too explosive on fire that night…

Yeah? I’ll try not to

But I really like fire… >_>

Chief, I come bearing your solution.

If the dancey thing means nothing to you, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else says about it! If you go, you’ll probably be bored. Then again, you might have a good time. But go with your gut instinct and ignore what any smiley-happy dimwits say about it otherwise (present company excluded, of course).

Do something fun instead!

Peace and chicken grease,

But I like smiley-happy dimwits!… Cut out that dimwit part, I like smiley-happy people!

Lol. I’m not really sure what all there is to do. Everyone will be gone. Only thing really is to go to work or surf the internet for random things.

James Nhan – i challenge you to go to prom. Take a picture of yourself, send it to Josh and ask him to put it on the blog as evidence of you having fun. see if he’ll do it.

Maybe I will.

I dont go with someone go alone or with a group of friends trust me its alot funner.

Hmm… I guess I have to agree that prom is overrated, but that doesn’t mean its not fun. We have ours randomly in the middle of march… so it’s not really an end of the year thing, but its still about friends. theres a lot of hype cause getting ready (hair appointments, nails, yada yada yada) is half the fun. And because businesses can make a lot of money off of promsters.

Prom isnt sunshine and rainbows, but I think it gives you an opportunity have fun, get dressed up for once, and do something that you can look back on years later down the road. I mean, if you don’t want to go that’s fine, but why not? If you don’t enjoy yourself it was only one night. But if you don’t go, you’ll never know, will you? My advice…Do something out of your comfort zone. Bring some friends, get dressed up and dance like nobody;’s watching. You only live once. Make the most of your time

I went to prom and I think that it is overrated in some ways because you go with such high expectations of it, but I also think that if you do not go than you will look back 10 years down the road and wish you would have went. Its just a night that you can do something different rather than just hanging out with friends, or whatever you do on a regular basis.

Prom is completely overrated, but it can also be fun. The thing is, you don’t have to go with the “hype”. Don’t worry about getting the perfect tux, or the limo, or who your date is going to be, there are much better things to do with your time! This year I went with a friend-date and a whole bunch of other friends. We just went to Tomato Street, to the prom, and then spent most of the night talking. There were no worries, because we hadn’t spent absolutely months planning the whole thing. Be kind of spontaneous…I mean not so much that your group doesn’t know what you are doing, but, you know…just don’t feel pressured to have the “perfect prom”. I’m probably too late for this whole prom thing. I’m on the same boat as Erin up there haha, but I hope I gave some insight or some other such thing.
