Excuses not to go to school prom?

you're doing a lot more judging than you are analyzing. time you enjoyed wasting is not wasting time. maplestory, whether or not you still play it, ends up being a bigger waste of time than going to a dance since dancing gives you physical exercise. you're not exactly in a position to call people superficial for opting to go to a dance rather than have fun "the right way".

And you're going on entirely about the last 15 or so words of his paragraph as if it'd been the only thing he'd said. It surely was uncalled for, but doesn't altogether invalidate his other point there.
