Rite of passage?
I'm not going. I won't go.
No, I'm not being the irritated-with-life child who doesn't wanna go to Church.
I've decided not to go to the prom.
Yes, it's a rite of passage and it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing.. but I will not spend AED 165 on a ticket to a party full of people who don't even care about me. No, thanks. It's too effing expensive. There's more than one answer to the question, "Why aren't you going?" so I'm gonna list them out:
1. It's ball-numbingly expensive. Ryan, the guy who is selling the tickets asked me, "Are you coming to the prom?"
Danu: No
Ryan: Why, dude?! You live in the Meadows!
Danu: So?! What the fuck? Just because I live in the Meadows, does it mean that I have tons of money to throw at you?
2. It's a hetero gathering. I'm not being heterophobic, but hey, I'm really not in the mood to watch boys grinding into.. well, girls. And girls with tits, that too.
3. People are gonna get piss drunk, as my good friend and competitor, Mufaddal a.ka. Muffin pointed out. One thing that's pretty clear is that none of my fundamental Muslim friends in Al-Qa'eda are organizing the prom, so people will definitely bring booze from Ajman [which is two emirates north of Dubai] and people will definitely get intoxicated. Do I want to be in the presence of such alcohol-consuming vermin? No :þ
4. People [well just a few girls] are fighting over me. cutedevil_ash and I wanna go together, but I'm afraid I'll break petite_boo's tweet li'l heart. And the guy I really wanna go with i.e. Ari Gold, my new hotshot fantasy, lives too far away.
So there you have it. I most probably won't go.. and I'll try not change my decision even if the girls hold me down and brutally tickle me.
That's your's truly, standing proudly with a pinkish monstrosity, also known as Krystal.
Danu, Sabah [petite_boo] and Abhishek. I'm practically going out with Sabah.. it's just that my sexuality is a bit of problem.
Danu and Siranjani. Ain't she pretty?
Danu: "My elbows are huge, wanna see?"
Ashani [in the background]: "I'm so bored, I wanna punch my own chin." Ka-POW!
In other news, Ammi made some khichri [yellow rice] and for some reason, she added minced meat to it. I ate it thinking it was regular khichri. I knew she had been plotting this for months...
