A couple of things

[apocalypsos]

A principal at an all-girls school on Staten Island has made a rule that if girls don't have a male date for the prom, they can't go. Man, that rule bugs me. So if you're unpopular, a lesbian, or would rather avoid possible prom-night sexual politics and just hang with your friends, you're SOL, I guess.

I didn't go to my prom. Lots of people went stag, and I probably could have gone stag myself or asked a guy, but I was too shy to ask anyone else back then and every single one of my friends went with a date. I already felt uncomfortable enough on a daily basis without being the fifth wheel at the prom. I think I just stayed home and read a book or something.

Also, new Christian and Olli!

It's mostly Judith and her love life, but she finally, finally does what I've been wanting her to do for weeks. (Um, I really don't like Fabian. Have I mentioned that?) However, Olli and Christian do get some early-morning flirting in, and Olli's line about running away after a kiss made me die laughing.

The last four years of my time at school/college were a permanent skip day. *g* Some of my teachers didn't actually know who I was because I never went to lessons.

Oh, man, I was such a goody-two-shoes. Senior Skip Day was the only day I ever skipped school.

On one memorable occasion, I did actually go to school - but was so drunk/hungover that I just passed out on the common room floor and my friends hid me by piling coats on top of me.

Looking back, I'm rather amazed I'm still alive, actually.
