Prom 2010

So this year is my first time going to Prom. It's going to be a masquerade this year which makes me really want to go, but at the same time i really don't want to go. I've never had a date to any dance and I don't think that will change this year. All of my friends have already gotten dates for Prom and have old me, "You're welcome to tag along with us if you'd like." Well, in my opinion, the word 'tag along' means you can come along as a third wheel but we'll be ancing the whole time wth each other and won't have time to notice you. So I'm definitely not taking that route. I've done it before and it sucks. Prom is every girls dream to be a princess. They have a guy and a beautiful dress that makes them shine and allows that feeling of 'I feel so beautiful' to come along into their head. Personally, I don't feel like I should get all dressed up to feel like a princess just to end up sitting there not really having any one to dance with and end up having a crappy night. Who knows, maybe it will change and I will get a date. I really hope I do. As of right now, I still have no idea if I'm going to go or not.

The Scarlet Letter

So if any of you guys have ever read "The Scarlet Letter", you will know what I am talking about very well. In today's society, I believe things would be much more balanced if everybody had to go around with a letter of some sort for telling the sin/crime they had committed. It is my belief that people judge others on the things they have done to cover up for their own guilty conscience. Imagine how much more peaceful things would be around towns if people had to go around with big letters embroidered on their blouses and jackets. M = Murderer. A = Adulterer. CL= Compulsive Liar. S = Stealer. And so on down the line. Sure, it would be very embarassing and may hurt some self-esteem for a while, but as every one's secrets got released, people would get used to it and eventually feel content. no one would be able to judge another because they, themselves, would have a reminder standing bright and true on their chest.

It's just a thought I had and felt the need to share it. If you have not read "The Scarlet Letter", I highly suggest getting it to read if even in your spare, to non-existant, time.
