There are a number of reasons for that--and yes it's universally 
true, bullies of the James/Sirius starjock variety are popular 
because 
1. no one DARE cross them for fear of becoming their next victim and 
2. because maybe just maybe they'll let me hang out with them and 
then maybe just maybe some of that "coolness" will rub off on me.



Melpomene, who was in the "weird" category and was never invited to 
hang out with the cool, popular bullies, thank heavens!
