It's disappointing that the future has yet to give up on some of the barbaric, uncivilized customs of the past. The high school prom, for instance.

And with prom season coming up on this summer's social calendar, I'm spoiled for choice on which of my many outfits I should wear. I do have my signature style of staying at home and watching a marathon of Ice Road Truckers, but I wouldn't want to show anyone up. Adolescence is a tricky time.

In case some of the older members of this network feel left out, feel free to tell us about your experiences at prom. The most awkward story wins a t-shirt.

As Well You Should Be
Its Really A Tremendous Oversight

[onmyneck]

The living dead are too often marginalized in society.

[glowsferatu]

You Say That As If Id Somehow Be Unaware Of The Fact
I Was Familiar With Vampiric Persecution Long Before It Was Relevant To My Existence

[onmyneck]

Yes. And they have strong persecutors as well. Van Helsing. Buffy. Everyone.

[glowsferatu]

Ive Met Buffy Before



It Was Awkward

[onmyneck]

Of course. This universe loves to make sense in those ways.

[glowsferatu]

By Which You Mean Ways That Are Entirely Nonsensical And Largely Frustrating
Of Course

[onmyneck]

Not to mention stupid.

[glowsferatu]

I Expected That Much To Be Obvious
I Mean Really Why Bother Even Stating It

[onmyneck]

Thoroughness.

[glowsferatu]

What You Imagine To Be Thorough I Find Simply Redundant

[onmyneck]

Aren't we an odd couple.

[glowsferatu]

The Only Way We Could Be Considered A Couple Is In The Numerical Sense

[onmyneck]

I think that's for the best.

[glowsferatu]

Good
Then It Is Agreed That Any Other Configuration Would Be Ruinous

[onmyneck]

Yes. For several reasons.

[glowsferatu]

Too Many To List Really
Not Worth The Bother

[onmyneck]

What a beautiful message. I'll have that cross stitched into my prom hat.

[glowsferatu]

Not Worth The Bother In Large Bright Letters
What Better Warning Could Be Offered To The Other Attendants

[onmyneck]

This will be the best prom ever.

[glowsferatu]

Imagine My Delight At The Fact That I Decided To Ensure Your Attendance
My Heart Simply Cannot Contain This Level Of Delight

[onmyneck]

Truly, the Prom Queen has arrived.

[glowsferatu]

Requesting That Someone Kill Me In Response Wouldnt Be So Unreasonable If I Werent Already Dewad

[onmyneck]

That's self-oppression talking.
