That Ralph joke ... the only thing I can think of is that Bart called Linny by some random name because he "couldn't see him" because he needs an eye exam. (Does that even make sense?!)
Ditto. Honestly, I had to skim through most of this book as a kid because all the make out scenes were so!awkward. And I can't bring myself to re-read it.
Grade A snark. Well done! I never read this far into the series but it took this long for Kristy and Bart to start hooking up? Jesus. Kristy is one frigid bitch. Then again- it sucks when someone is a shitty kisser and I'd probably be all "we'd make better friends!" too.
I'm not so sure Bart was a shitty kisser. The feeling I got was that Kristy was completely unresponsive, and when you try to kiss someone who isn't kissing back you definitely get that whole "jamming my lips against my teeth" feeling Kristy complained about. In which case, it's not poor Bart's fault. Meh. He deserves better than Kristy anyway.
IRL, I think it'd be because 13 is such a weird age...part of you thinks about boys, wants to be grown-up and have a boyfriend...you may even like a certain boy and want to be around him...but part of you is still weirded out by the whole concept, esp. if people tease you even a tiny bit...

Your icon makes me want to write an intensely-felt letter to Jordan.
Even though he, as you may know, cannot read.

I guess I always assumed it was a weird reference to something. You can never tell with that crafty Peter Lerangis.

I was a huge Kristy and Bart shipper so this book always made me a little sad.
