Girls, etc.

In my experience, when girls get together they talk about things that can universally be considered weird. Also, girls tend to be rather insecure. They get these little pages that supposedly are supposed to go in their yearbook, and then they all write long notes to each other affirming their friendship. They try to get as many people as possible to sign their sheet: it's a game and each signature is a point. When someone asks me to sign their sheet, I have to, to avoid appearing a jerk.

I then write an extremely honest, open letter to the person stating exactly what needs to be stated to them.

Another problem is when a guy gets one of them little sheets. They don't need their position in society to be affirmed - half of what people say on them means nothing anyways. I would never get one, because figure if someone wanted to tell me how much they liked me I don't think I should have to force them to. Unfortunately, not many people do that.

Sexist me

Lately, i got into this dreamy pop artist from Sweden: jj. The three songs i heard were incredibly engaging and addictive - the kind of stuff i'd expect to hear at high class beaches. One of them went with this ridiculous "my swag, my life" hook and ran through my head for a week or so. The music was pretty much written for me, and i fell in love with the lead singer guy's voice.

BUT THEN...
I was looking up jj on the internet to see if i could find some info on the band, and i was having a tough time. I finally found an article posted on pitchfork about the band, and my heart sunk. Apparently, the "lead singer guy" was actually a girl. For some strange reason, jj all of the sudden didn't click with me.

I guess i just have a natural prejudice against female singers. The only girl artist's voice i genuinely like is Portishead's singer, but i can name about fifty guys i go crazy for. When i thought jj was a feminine sounding guy, i loved it! Now, not so much. I don't know what i was thinking before - i guess i'm just sexist, because now i see that jj isn't even good. Because she's a girl.

How to ask that girl to prom

A week or so ago I was just walking back to class from an assembly about our upcoming high school prom. I happened to be walking beside my girlfriend, so I was like "Hey, how 'bout you come to prom with me?"

Now, being the traditional girl that she was, she refused my flippant asking and said I'd have to do a lot better than that. Gosh darn. What am I supposed to do? Luckily, all my friends are going through the same issue. You've just got to be creative to get the girl these days!

At lunch, me and the boys had a round table discussion about methods of "popping the Q", or so to speak. Suggestions ranged from sweet, like baking a cookie with "prom?" spelled out in icing, to outlandish, like arranging a bunch of dead bodies to spell out "prom?" in her front lawn.
One guy detailed his affections on a pink slip and left it in his prospect's car.
In the end, after weighing my options, I went with the bodies one.
...Not dead bodies, though, in case you were getting worried.
I got one friend to bend himself into a "P" shape, the next an "R", then an "O", then an "M". Others jumped in, forming exclamation marks and question marks. I believe the product was something along the lines of: "PrOM!???!"
I called her over and presented my handiwork. To my delight, she said yes.
