As I sit here at my kitchen table, eating leftovers from three days ago and watching a superb Let's Play on YouTube, I can (sort-of) proudly say that I have now attended my first high school dance!
And it was nothing more or less than I had expected.
Naturally, the "dance floor" was just a compressed mob of students jammed together in the field house with so little personal space that the only possible dance move to execute was the fist pump. But that was what I expected. Still, having never been near the middle of a rave, I proceeded to drag my small group of friends into the center. Because, y'know, if I've never experienced something, I have no right to judge it, right? And now I have experienced it. Now I'm free to NEVER DO IT AGAIN. In the middle of the mob, it was probably a good twenty degrees hotter than outside of it, not to mention that in the area we entered, there was scarcely room even for a fist pump. So we linked arms (partially so that none of us would get swept off by the throng of teenagers), jumped up and down for about ten minutes, then got bored and went back to the cafeteria to sit down and re hydrate.
All in all, though, it was a fun night, because I spent time with people of common interests who I could actually tolerate (I believe on your planet they are called "friends"). Additionally, I viewed the MLP - FiM episode "The Best Night Ever" before departing for the festivities, and I believe that contributed a great deal to putting things in perspective.
What, you didn't know I was a PegaSister?
