| Well, here's one of those ridiculously teenager-y bits. Feel free to skip down to more intelligent postings. Anyway, I'm off to my first formal dance tomorrow. I'm rather looking forward to it, for all my apprehension. I think one of the reasons that I'm anticipating it is that I'm not worrying about getting a date or not having one. It's times like these that I'm really glad I have standards. I don't just go with the first boy to ask me, no matter who it is. I have no scruples (is that even a word? And is it spelled right?) about turning someone down. Maybe I'm just malicious and sadistic, but there is something immensely satisfying about turning someone down. To me it says "Yes, I'm wanted and admired, but I'm above _suchandsuchperson_. I have standards, and I won't sink to theirs." And reading that over, I'm afraid that I'm horridly egotistical. Ah, well, when you're as wonderful as I am, that's hard to avoid. No, no, I'm just joshing. I also feel really bad when I turn someone down. I hate disappointing people, and I'm also really empathatic. I could imagine what it would feel like to have someone turn me down. It takes so much courage to state your feelings for someone, and then to not have them returned? I think I'd probably try to avoid that person forever and never speak to them again. I have a lot of respect for people that ask other people out all the time. Although it is just a tad coughsluttycough, it also must take so much emotional strength. And note, I saved this as a draft Thursday night. I've already been to the dance. It was. All right. Not the most fun I've ever had, but enjoyable. I was ready to go by the time it was over. Ok, done with that bit. I watched the debates on Thursday! It was loads of fun. I was over at Hannah's house with the rest of the members of the Young Democrats. Kerry is a far better speaker than Bush. I was so proud of him that night. I think he did a really great job. I also think that he looked a lot more presidential than Bush. Bush spent the evening figeting around at his podium and more than once he made a bunch of half-formed sounds to indicate he wanted more time to speak ("Ah, eh, I, puh, uh, gi" was what it sounded like to us). In my opinion, Kerry completely kicked that evening. And I'm not biased at all, really. I know there are a few Republicans or at least Bush-supporters who read this, so what did you guys think? I'm listening to: some nice lovely silence. ~me~ at 6:54 PM Comment if you...
