Chris is a bloody skux* (and I apparently can't type today)
I mean, seriously, four balls?!! I'm jealous, I wanna go to more than one :O In my humble opinion, he should A) make it a nice five and go to his own, or B) collect all the girls' schools. YOU'RE HALFWAY THERE, CHRIS :D You just need East, Queen Margaret's, Marsden, and Sacred Heart!
Alas, my brilliant plan to go to the SMC ball has failed due to rules against bringing girls. :( I had a fantastic case as to why someone should take me if they had no one better to take:
-> I wouldn't feel/look completely awkward because I know about half the form
-> I know most of the in-jokes already (and if I don't, I'm brilliant at pretending I do)
-> I'm witty
-> I generally make a good impression on adults (read: chaperones)
-> I am decent-looking 0=)
-> and also house-trained
-> I wouldn't hit on everyone's dates
COME ON, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO TAKE ME.
So I was watching the season (one) finale of Supernatural today and I don't know why I didn't realize until now how fucking sexy it is when Sam reads Latin. We never sound that good trying to read stuff! Clearly orals need to be introduced to the Latin curriculum.
This evening I foolishly went in for my Bronze and Silver ballroom dancing Medals with about two and a half classes of Silver ballroom under my proverbial belt. Eeeeek. Waltz was good (as it should damn well be, it's just about the only ballroom dance that sticks in my head, thanks to a few weeks of doing it where Chris does dancing), foxtrot was atrocious, tango was good, quickstep was okay. Here's hoping I didn't blow $75 for nothing. I find out Mondayish because I'm too pathetically shy to go to the party.
There's this cute Coll guy, sixth-former on my bus, right, and I discovered on Monday morning that he is not just listening to an iPod on the bus, he is in fact playing Pokemon. Naturally this meant I had to actually get up the balls to talk to him. Perfect opportunity this morning, he was sitting in my fricking seat (back right) so I sat next to him.
"What version?"
"Diamond."
"Ah yup. Is that one good, I've only got Sapphire." (I really meant that's as far as I have, considering I also have Crystal and Yellow.)
"Yeah, it's cool. I've only had it a while though."
"Yeah."
And then I left him alone. I know how annoying it is when you're trying to play a game and some idiot keeps asking you questions about it.
I'm really annoyed that they're banning party pills. Not that I take them or anything, I just think that if people are gonna do some stupid drug, I'd rather they were doing something relatively safe than, like, Ecstasy or speed or something. (Wait, are Ecstasy and speed the same thing?) The only people who've died on party pills were the idiots who overdosed or took them with alcohol against recommendations, and that one moron who took them with fricking Ecstasy; and no one high on party pills went and murdered people (Coral Burrows, anyone?). More people have gotten seizures from the MeNZB vaccination than party pills. I'm talking almost three million doses of MeNZB resulting in forty-nine seizures versus twenty million party pills and fifteen seizures. And once they're banned they'll just go underground, making them way more dangerous and hard to control.

Anyway, on my way to find that party pills article, I found this, which I am infinitely more amused by. Though check out that photo; is that a pingpong ball or is she just happy to wear red undies?
