on running space prom @ counted_stars

[gorillawarfare]

Yeah, yeah I know. Priorities.

But it's not a crime to want to do something normal. And hey, if that something normal means actually getting a date for once I'm not going to complain.

...Now we just need to keep Maya away from ABBA: Best of.

I am with you there. Everyone always gave me shit about blocking them out but I just wanted to feel normal, maybe not think about the fact I am different.

Not that I have some sort of hate complex about it but sometimes you do just want to feel normal.

[gorillawarfare]

It's not so much the inner workings of my psyche as it is the intense after school job, but I think I get it.

[tinfoil_angel]

I think I know what you're saying too. Though really I envy you a little.

[gorillawarfare]

I think that's the first time I've heard that when it wasn't in relation to my cutting sense of humor.

[ Snort ]

What's the theme?

[gorillawarfare]

[ griiiiin ]

Woodstock.

Far out, right?

[whatsupcroc]

[ Then she does just start laughing. ]

Totally groovy. Are you sticking to the music of the time, or are you getting an updated play list?

[ Her vague impression of Woodstock amounts to free love, drugs, and just say no to war (make love, not war!) and lots of music along those lines. ]

[gorillawarfare]

Apparently Hanson's a little dated here, so I'm pushing for Will Smith. Though if a girl from here gets her way, we're going to be up to our ears in "Take a Chance on Me".

[whatsupcroc]

Hey, "Dancing Queen" would at least fit the whole prom-thing. I'm sure it'll fit in right between "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" and "Truly Madly Deeply!"

You're getting the whole thing going on your own?

[gorillawarfare]

Turns out fighting an intergalactic guerilla war and organizing a prom committee have a lot in common.

[whatsupcroc]

The connections I'd never have made.

[ She shakes her head, more generally amused by now. ]

Hey, have fun! Especially when it's actually happening. Who're you taking to your big party?

[gorillawarfare]

That's why I do all the strategies.

...I have a few options I'm considering.

[whatsupcroc]

Great, can I shove my chess matches off on you then?

[ Just griiiins ]

Oh? Like who?

[ It's not that she's nosy. She's just nosy. ]

[gorillawarfare]

Yeah, and I'll definitely be behind never having a social life again. [ he smiles though ]

No one in particular, Miss Walters.

[whatsupcroc]

[ She just laughs: she won't argue that chess doesn't sound pretty...... boring, but she was willing to try anything at least once or so, in an effort not to be stuck, well, you know, mending socks or something else equally ridiculous. They won't even let her go up in the cool stuff! Like the helicopter-only-not-because-it-has-a-fancier-name! ]

Weirdo! Where exactly are you hosting prom away from good old... [ incredibly destroyed ] ... home?

[gorillawarfare]

The irony will kill you.















Space.

[ This face ]

[whatsupcroc]

You can't be serious.

[whatsupcroc]

I mean, really, space?

[whatsupcroc]

You're hosting prom in the most overused setting for any prom ever?

[whatsupcroc]

That's ridiculous!

[whatsupcroc]

Enough to be true.
