> This I understand completely. I've not
attended a dance in my entire school life, and I
haven't missed much, I think.

I went to one, in 9th grade. It was stupid and a
waste of....whatever it cost. $8 I think it was.
Oh, and I went to the end-of-8th-grade dance
that they had because, ironically enough,
everyone else was going. But trust me, you're
not missing much.

> Another thing, though. Why do people go to
such extravagant measures? If I were asked
to prom by anyone (and, of course, if I
accepted), I'd not expect to be picked up in a
limo. I'd also not want to be expected to buy a
$400 dress. I don't see the point.

But everyone *else* would expect you to
expect that. It's seems as if it's just one great
big "See Who Can Spend The Most Money"
Fest.

jeans and a tee-shirt. ;)
