Last night was my Junior Prom, and I learned a thing or two during the course of it. What more can I say?

1. The 1980s, Michael Jackson, and Beat It are still a threat.
2. Class is one of the most important things a person can show when under pressure.
3. A tuxedo does not have the pocket space necessary for all your gadgets. Get an iPhone, you idiot.
4. Cheap sunglasses fly off rather easily when you're being awesome. True story.
5. Sometimes you just have to embrace the fact that some of the things you do are absolutely hilarious from an outsider's perspective.
6. I can thrill the class of 2010 more than any ghost would ever dare try.
7. Bringing an iPod to a dance is NOT dumb. Honestly, have you heard some of the music that's typically played at dances? Yuck.
8. As long as one follows Lesson #2, even the worst calamity cannot ruin them. In that same vein....
9. .......high school is 10% realism and 90% dramatic bullshit. That doesn't mean that you can't enjoy that fake-ass 90% a little.
10. If you try to upstage me in the middle of a Michael Jackson song, you're going to lose. 'Nuff said.
11. Even in the 200Crime, Beat It kicks ass.
12. Even in the 200Crime, things can change in the space of one evening.
13. As long as you show them how funky and strong is your fight, it doesn't matter who's wrong or right.
14. If you break Lesson 10, they'll kick you, they'll beat you, and they'll tell you it's fair, so beat it. No, seriously, leave.
15. Going stag to a dance is OK. While not the best option, it is better than staying at home WISHING you were at the dance.
16a. You either can dance, or you can't.
16b. If you can't dance, don't bother trying. You'll make yourself look like a moron, particularly if you break Lesson 10, because then you'll be punished as dictated in Lesson 14.
17. Bad people always get what's coming to them, even if they don't realize it.
18. "Crank Dat" may be a terrible song, but watching a mob of people perform its equally terrible dance can be quite amusing.
19. "Thriller" and "Beat It" are amazing songs, and watching someone perform their equally awesome dance routines is a treat, and should be treated as such.
20. "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 sucks. Seriously.
21. Getting your picture taken next to a cardboard cutout of Humphrey Bogart is just one of those small pleasures in life.
22. High school doesn't last forever. That being said.....
23. .......enjoy it while it lasts.
