Just like to say a little something about the 'dibs' system of prom asking at my school: it sucks. What are we, property? Or as Ayesha more eloquently put it, a piece of ass? Basically, whenever a guy mentions that he might ask a girl, no other guys will ask her. I mean, what if the girl he decides to so generously bestow his 'favor' on doesn't even want to go with him, but has to say yes or risk (a) being called a 'bitch (b) not having a date to prom? I'm not saying that it is a civilized thing to do, not take the girl that another guy wants but hey, all's fair in love and war, right?
