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 thing I remember most about prom was that the next day I found out that my best friend (who was a bit of a drama queen) had been pissed that her boyfriend ended up prom king and someone else ended up prom queen. (She was, like, third alternate or something.)

Which, for crying out loud, they picked the prom court at random.

I am so OVERWHELMINGLY GLAD we do not have those traditions here, it sounds like a recipe for bad feeling.
