I'll never understand why everyone makes such a fuss of the Yule Ball. I fail to see the point of making everyone dress up just so that they can dance while other people stare at them. The royalty nonsense is just a big popularity contest, it doesn't have anything at all to do with merit, as many of the nominees so clearly illustrate. I, for one, am abstaining from all that rubbish and choosing to do more useful things with my time.

You so don't have a date, huh?

Of course not. I'm not interested in dating, and even if I were, I certainly wouldn't call that whole awkward affair an ideal romantic excursion.

And so you went to the effort of announcing it? I suppose congratulations are in order!

In any case! I am sure your incredibly vibrant presence will be missed by all.

I doubt it.

And I'm aware you're being sarcastic.

It's not just for dancing with a cute someone Herbologist. It's also letting your hair down and having a great deal of fun with friends.

Oh wait, that's another strike, isn't it?

I'm not INTERESTED, Stark, and the friends I have won't be interested, either.

[All two. Which is not true, Shinra's going with Gamzee, and Bruce is probably going to get dragged by his gang, but Herbert can pretend!]

Just because you dont enjoy it doesnt mean the rest of the school wont. your loss.

besides the nominees are fine. So what if its a popularity contest, its still the school voting on who they like best. its not meant to be a real king and queen to rule over everyone or something.

Yeah, well. Statistically there are bound to be people who suck the fun out of life like you do.

You know though. It probably wont kill you to come, it'll even give you material to complain about. Also, if you aren't interested, then why post?

Jones, a popularity contest IS the school voting on who they like best, and I really don't see why it's worth the bother. And it's hardy a loss if I don't actually want to go, is it?

You certainly wouldn't win any prizes for your spelling and grammar, either.

I don't doubt there are other students who feel the same as I do about it. Or are we meant to only write about 'happy' things in our journals?

Well you wouldnt win any prizes for your not being a party pooper. Because you dont understand you think its dumb? I guess I get that but its not gonna stop us from enjoying it so like whats the point of even bein negative?

Or maybe you were hopping someone might ask you out knowing that someone else hasn't already snapped you up.

More congratulations are in order, then!

Tell me, lad, did you post this wonderfully venomous post with the intentions of guilting or preaching at your classmates?

You're not going? I'm thinking of abstaining as well.

Stark, I'm a Ravenclaw, hence not a complete idiot. That would be an exercise in futility, now wouldn't it? Just because that's something YOU would do, don't tar me with the same brush.

Not in particular. People shouldn't feel guilty for being shallow idiots, they can hardly help it, and they're not about to change just because I have anything to say about it. I was merely expressing my opinion.

Because not everyone in the school has such superficial priorities.

It's nice to see that someone's sensible about the whole thing. No, I have no reason to go, it seems like a ridiculous waste of time to me.

Curiosity sake: Would you go if someone invited you, as a friend or otherwise?

It's a moot point, no one would.

What if I did?

[Oh, Moriarty, Herbert is so easy to manipulate about this stuff - IF you can convince him it's genuine.]

I'd know you were joking and I'd refuse.

Do I really seem like the type to joke about that? You don't want to go with me?

No, because you're not being serious! If you're not joking, then it's some sort of test, you're obviously not a homosexual and we're not friends so it doesn't make sense for you to ask me.

Gender matters little to me, first of all. Anyway, friendship starts somewhere, I don't see why we couldn't be friends. It's not a test.
