Prom-ness

OK, first of all, Mr. Blogs-are-for-losers-but-I-read-everybody's-blog-and- want-them-to-talk-about-me-because-I'm-an-insecure-little-twerp-who-still- hasn't-asked-anybody-to-prom, read the following from the comments on the last post:

Speaking as a girl (well, no different than usual, but...) if I were asked to prom, and I had to say, I don't know if I am going, and that guy asked someone else the same day, I think I would not only be pissed but kind of hurt that I was apparently part of a list and not someone asked because I was especially wanted.

Try to be a little more smooth in the future.

Also, what happened to asking Bonnie? You swore up and down last weekend that you really, honest to God, were going to ask her.

That's not how it happened. I asked Nina on Friday. What she said was that she was planning on going by herself if she went at all. So perhaps characterizing it as "I don't know" wasn't quite accurate. It was more of a "no." Then Friday night I learned the whole story from Renee during our little get-together in her basement. So I decided to ask Denise on Tuesday, which of course is several days after Friday.

And for your information, I would have been very happy to go with Nina, but it seemed rather clear to me that it wasn't going to happen.

And as for why I haven't asked Bonnie, I was planning on asking her several times, but she was gone from school for days. Yeah, I could have called her, but I didn't. I overheard her talking to somebody on the bus to Math Team, and she said she wasn't sure she wanted to go this year anyway. I've also heard some other stuff, and so I just decided not to ask her.

DEAL WITH IT.

And whoever it was that stuffed the poll box, I've corrected the tally.
