I have to agree with both of you, I know I'm seventeen but I've never
dated anyone.   I also grew up with the boys and not with other girls,
never could stand most of them (don't you want to strangle some of the
really whiny girls?), still hang out with the guys.  Infact, Friday I
was told that "You're one of the guys" by my friends.  If I some guy
ever insluts me, there's usually hell to pay.  I'm good at getting out
of truble too.

I'm still learning how to adopt girlish ways for big social events, (I'm
the girl who went to the Christmas formal with a freshman and in a dress
from Hot Topic with full goth makeup).  I think she's pissed that Ron
didn't ask her as soon as they found out about it, so she's being kinda
mean to him to get back at him for ignoring her.  I know I'd be POed if
it happened to me.


And now that I've basically gone in circles and confused myself, I'm

I confuse myself a lot.  it's best to just ignore it, and hope it won't
catch back up with you:)
