God it's nice to have a job again. Even better to have a job like mine at Albertsons. See, I work in the Deli, and it's like separate from the entire store. Although I have managers, they are store level and they dont have enough time to even pay attention to my department and the actual department head will never be around when I'm working. Therefore, me and another kid from Esperanza pretty much run the deli by ourselves, and it goes without saying that the best kind of working is that which is done without a boss.

Anyhow, I promised to write a little thing on Prom and my thoughts and explanations for my actions.

Put quite simply: I think that Prom is something that is supposed to be both romantic and memorable (although those two things are very connected). I could not see myself going with a person that I merely considered a friend to what is probably the culmination of my senior year. This is my primary reason for going with Tiffany: I like her, and I can at least pretend like we're more than friends for one night.

I had a couple of people trying to get me to stop thinking about girls out of our school and trying to "hook me up" with friends of theirs that didnt have dates. In my opinion, this is Prama at its finest: expecting another person to go with someone you have paired them with in your head without any real knowledge or care for what either people want. I hate to say this, because I have real friends that told me to go with so and so, but I truly despise people who think they have the right to tell me or any other guy who I "should" go to Prom with.

That said, I forgive those people because none of them are truly close to me and therefore dont hold alot of respect to lose. (remember: I dont hold grudges, I lose respect)

That's really all I have to say about Prom, other than the fact that I'm looking forward to it, and it's going to cost a whole lot. Luckily, I have a job, and I can work it off in a week and a half. It's worth it.
