Log VII: Tickets, $150...

Tux, +/- $150;
Limo rental, $170;
Parking ticket, $6.50 (my bad);
am I forgetting something? no? fuck my life, regardless.

I've always hated ritzy things like limos and fancy dances. Formalities always irked me immensely. There's so much that's unnecessary that can change how people think of you. You become a status and not an individual.

I didn't even want to go to prom anyway but figured these opportunities are rare so taking advantage of them would make me happy later. Looking back on it, people said the same about things like the 8th grade semi-formal. I had an okay time, sure, but in all honesty I have no care for it having happened. The same goes for the winter balls and semi-formals that happened freshman year, sophomore year, and the winterball this year. I didn't go and I have no regret.

My rant this afternoon stems from my not having any money to put into this. My parents are going to end up taking care of it which really bothers me since I can't help at all. I'll get back to looking for a job asap but the odds of me getting hired anywhere are getting worse and worse. With the economy where it is, adults are getting all the jobs teens usually take. I have hardly any savings, about 1k in the bank, but that's not gonna last long at all in college or afterward when I actually need to pay my expenses.
