The stupid is about to be kicked up a notch or three. Get ready for every older-guy crush in the rest of the series to suddenly not other you anymore

What happened to the second part? LJ keeps telling me the page is missing :(
- Curtis looked up and smiled. He is missing a tooth, which is something I just can’t stand. I mean, in adults. I am a firm believer in dentures.This angers me EVERY TIME I read the book. Mary Anne comes off as the most spoiled, condescending rich girl in a club/school/town of rich people when she thinks that; dentures aren’t exactly CHEAP, Mary Anne, something you might know if your life wasn’t practically perfect. Maybe a cook who works at a lodge (where parents are expected to pay whatever they want and the lodge’s elderly owners pay the rest) feeding eight hundred little snobs every day, doesn’t pay all that well, or maybe ridicule like yours has numbed him to insults on his appearance. Not everyone’s a self-conscious thirteen-year-old girl, and some people have bigger and better priorities

You certainly sound productive, despite your fiancé’s absence - you’re the kind of role model we should all have read about as kids. :)
Pizza certificates . . . haha! I got three of those as a kid, and I kept them - I figured out at the age of six that if I used them, they’d be gone and I’d have no record of having won anything. One small pizza didn’t seem worth the loss to me.
I’m glad Claudia was given the “better skiier” status in the club, especially against Kristy. I don’t usually feel sorry for Claudia, since I loved school (see above BSC-style “I’m-not-bragging” story about awards, lol) and have little to no patience for people who have every chance to learn and just refuse to, but it’s nice to see the girl I could relate to when I had especially tough assignments win for a change.
I hate the phonetic (I hope that’s the right word) accents! And I hate the way they did the same thing for whenever some talked with a stuffed-up nose! I had awful allergies as a kid, so I heard way too much of allergy-dialect
