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.

Yeah, the majority of our Sixth Form didn't go either. Stinginess and general lack of school spirit and all.

And a general dislike of EVERYBODY IN MY YEAR. All my friends were in the year below by that stage (because all my friends in the year above had already left) and there was no way I was going to voluntarily spend time with the turds in my year.
