It was me! I actually had alot of friends in different grades, but it seemed that the equivilant of the 09er's didn't. They seemed much more hierarchical.
It seemed to transcend clique in our town.
There was also a lot of senior boys dating freshman (and eight grade! which is sort of gross now that I think about it) girls, but very little of the reverse.
We were in the Jr. High School through ninth grade, and High School was 9th-12th grades, so there were fewer couples much more than two years apart. There weren't too many older girl/younger boy couples in our town, either though. The only ones I can think of--the girls were only a year ahead of the boys in school.

This makes sense, given the sexual attractiveness of your average 14-year-old boy.
MY husband and my father-in-law were commenting during last night's Medium (on topic, I swear) that older boys (in this case an eighth grader) would never look at a sixth-grade girl (twelve, I guess, as opposed to his fourteen).
I was astounded by this -- girls love older boys, and older boys know it. And boys, I always found, were happy to date whomever they thought was pretty, regardless (more or less) of her age.
I watched that medium, too, and it didn't seem weird.
This IS off-topic-- but did you notice if the "man on the library ladder" was Badger from Firefly?
It was. He was the ghost throughout the episode, reprising a role from last year.
FYI, there is a very plot spoilery piece about an upcoming guest star on VM in today's Zap2it.
TWoP's Couch Baron interviews Jason Dohring.
the thing i most love about this interview besides the fact that he has a potty mouth(cause i already knew that)? he bought the Wonderfalls dvds because people told him it was a good show and their DP from last season worked on Wonderfalls.
It's a great interview. Is
rad
back in? I swear it went out before Dohring was out of diapers.
I have an old 32 ounce travel mug I got at a garage sale for 5 cents with the words "Totally RadiCool" on it.
I have no illusions that it is hip. It may never have been.
Sadly, acetone only took off the top layer of ink.
Okay. If it made it into a portmanteau that showed up on a plastic novelty mug to be had at a yard sale, it must have been out for years, already. Thanks, Daniel.
