Prom.
Since today is prom, my hopes from last year still haven’t been fulfilled. I had dreams of waiting until the week after ap testing to ask her to prom. At first things were going swell and absolutely perfect. We were in the same English class, we really hit it of this year, and I knew the prefect way to ask her to prom, even though my friends said the idea was really chessy. I thought of a lot ways to ask her throughout the year, and I ended up going with the chessy idea. =)
The plan was during the last 15-20 minutes of class I would ask Ms. LaFramboise to go to the bathroom in which I would rush to change in to a tuxedo, a few minutes later three members of the choir would enter the class room to sing her the cheesiest song ever ‘Baby I need your loving’ by The Four Tops (of course I would ask Ms. LaFramboise for permission first). They would sing her that song, and at the very final verse I would enter the back door (I planned this to the very finer details, I knew what the sitting chart would look like at the last quarter of the year). Sing that verse, and have one of my friends throw me a buke of flowers, in which I would come up and ask her to prom. Uhhhh yes this is very chessy now that I think it over….
Ughhh too bad things went off course and I ended up getting transfered to Mrs. Jerebek’s class, which I don’t regret that much because she’s an awesome teacher. But I do regret not asking you to prom. The last few weeks, I’ve been worried to death about some other guy asking you to prom, seeing that there’s an a plethora of guys chasing after you… But lucky me, no one asked. Sigh of relief =)
I’ll just wait until next year. If I still don’t get the nerve to ask you next year, I’ll wait until college. Uhhh eventually I’ll have to ask. But I can play the waiting game for right now. It’s not to often that you meet the girl of your dreams realistically (hahaha Michelle Chen is just a celebrity crush, not someone I really want). I’ve already waited for three years, I can wait some more. Hopefully, when things between us FINALLY comes together I’ll be the very last guy you’ll be with in that very very long list of suitors.

pigstaughtmetofly:cottonbutts:The Loneliest Whale in the World.
In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem:
She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.

Here’s another angle and some context:
The date was May 20, 1966. A group of students had taken over the office of Stanford President Wallace Sterling, protesting against the institution of a test that was among the first steps toward the Vietnam-era draft.
He was protesting the protesters of the draft right before he took off to France on his mission, thus avoiding the draft. Smooth.
To shame Mitt Romney..
