Pros of Regular Prom

Less likely to get in trouble for breaking school rules

Less likely to find yourself trapped in an endless nightmarescape

Less likely to die of starvation and exposure

The theme is kind of cool

It's at a freaking gothic mansion

Pros of Anti-Prom

You could become the thrall of a fantastic mystical creature that, even if it's actually hideous, will make you believe it's beautiful.

It's more dangerous so technically more cool.

Outdoor dances are more romantic, I think.

When you die, you're pretty much guaranteed to be famous assuming they don't just cover all this up.

When you account for the possibility of drowning or contracting ebola, starvation and exposure aren't that bad in comparison.

The Masque of Red Death definitely took place in a mansion and not a forest.

I hope this helps everyone's decision-making process.

We could not move as a homogenous unit.

Sophomores

[racingstripe]

But why

Sophomores

[longcons]

I've heard independence is a valuable life skill. But don't quote me.

Sophomores

[racingstripe]

But is it more valuable than FRIENDSHIP?

Sophomores

[longcons]

Than what? People are friends in this class?

Sophomores

[bubblewrapped]

Does not compute. My identity is inextricably tied to how I function within the Sophomore Class Entity.

Sophomores

[longcons]

Resistance is futile.

Sophomores

[bubblewrapped]

One day you, too, will come to accept that distinctiveness is a weakness.

Sophomores

[longcons]

I can already feel my resolve weakening.

Sophomores

[bubblewrapped]

Nothing quite like that feeling of being whethered down into a shade of a human being by peer pressure.

Sophomores

[longcons]

High school is everything the movies promised. And more.

Sophomores

[bubblewrapped]

And there's still two years left. Oh, the places we'll go.

Sophomores

[longcons]

Like the forest and the grave.

Sophomores

[bubblewrapped]

Depending on how good you are at foraging, you might be able to consolidate those two years into a month. Maybe two weeks, even.

"Outdoor education."

Sophomores

[stclair]

This is EXACTLY why I'm not going to ask which prom you're going to!!!!

Sophomores

[longcons]

Your commitment to individualism is noted.

Sophomores

[stclair]

So how INDIVIDUAL are you and Todd going to be????

Sophomores

[longcons]

Haven't decided. Too busy being enigmatic.

Sophomores

[stclair]

Your third most attractive quality. KEEP IT UP!!!

Sophomores -- coughs @CALVIN

[longcons]

Enigma or indecision?

Sophomores

[evercreep]

Must be the former, because I don't think the latter ranks.

Sophomores

[longcons]

Fair. Maybe it's number 4.

Sophomores

[evercreep]

Does it really deserve to be in the top 10?

Sophomores

[longcons]

This isn't a self-assessment.
