Well, life's been smooth lately. The demons inside me try to break out, but I can cage them. Still working on a cure, but it might be closer than I think.

Anyhow, couple updates:

School Board Meeting, 24th-ish. The bastards tried to table the resolution to save RO, but we stuck to our guns and got a really late night's sleep. Caring about students my ass, they just want to roll with the "progressives"

Today, Assembly Education Committee meeting on AB 223 and AB 351. When we left, 223, the one to force SFUSD to keep RO was held back for passing for the moment, but 351, the one for PE credit, was passed. Now we wait.

I have to say thought, Tom Ammiano is a real bitch. That, and the adults who were rallying against a program supported by TEENS.

FOR THE LOVE OF FRAKKIN' CTHULHU, WHEN THE HELL WILL THEY ACTUALLY COME AND SEE OUR SIDE?

That's the BIGGEST, and maybe ONLY reason I hate those people. Its one thing to argue for a peace based curriculum that doesn't discriminate, but its another when you don't practice what you preach and discriminate against us just because we march and wear uniforms.

Okay, I guess that fills up my ranting for today. Next up, love life time!

Alright, so I asked Diana to Junior Prom. Asked her in the choir room, with a pink rose (granted, the first outer ring of petals were wilted, but hey, I had to keep it overnight, so it kept pretty well), and Phelan, Jarrett, and Spam looking on. I barely choked out the word "Prom?" with what may have been a desperate look in my eyes.

She said she'd think about it. I walked away with a stone in my stomach. I had been there and done that with Jane in sophmore year. I was expecting the worst.

On Friday, I was returning from teh attendance office when I encountered her and her friend walking down teh hallway. I walked a bit ahead, did an about-face and waved with my typical "Yo", to which she said "Hi".

Went into the Range to meet up with my company. They were gone. Went to the classroom via the corridor. She was waiting outside, with her friend.

Told me that she was willing to go as friends. I said "Cool". Everything else was easily forgettable.

After that, I kept getting congratulated by everybody, especially Leslie, who came to visit. I didn't hear any of it. Only one word circled through my mind.

YES.

Well, now comes the hard part.
