Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I wore my hair long and straight in high school, so hair was not an issue. And swimming was the ONE athletic thingie that I didn't either hate or feel self conscious about.
We had to take gym all 4 years, including swimming, and had to pass it, but I don't believe it affected our GPA. Every semester we had to do swimming, track and weight-lifting (I hated the latter two with a passion because of the combination of exertion and monotony) and then did assorted other activities based on weather and grade level (softball, football, dodgeball, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, ice skating/hockey, bowling, etc.)
Girls didn't do football, wrestling, hockey or bowling and instead had aerobics, archery, (for some reason, the school thought giving weapons to teenage boys would be a really bad idea. Can't imagine why) badmitton and tennis.

Aillean, I think you got your "s" and "i" swapped up on that post.
ETA: And of course she fixes it in a crosspost and makes me look crazy.
GG: Oh shit! Luke's store! Poor Luke.
I don't know, Ailleann, I thought he was being kind of a jackass, working his way up to a nice speech.
Since when do doctors treat patients, especially sixteen year old girls, without a nurse present?
Strega, I love this line:
All things considered, maybe instead of worrying about radiation, the people of Jericho should test their water for lead.
