back to his guitar.

Trust Boris to go, 'Oh, methaneice-worms. Yes, of course. If they turn out to be ubiquitous on shallowsea-floor gas

deposits, they could have a significant impact on howmethane deposits are formed and dissolve in seawater, and how

we goabout mining and otherwise harvesting natural gas as a source ofenergy.'

Which, you know, is good to knowfor my essay and all, but seriously. Why does he even know this?

I don't know how Lilly puts upwith him. I really don't.

Thank God for Tina Hakim Baba. Atleast SHE understands how I feel. AND she totally sympathizes. She saysthat it has always been her dream to go to the prom with the man sheloves - like Molly Ringwald dreamed of going to the prom with AndrewMcCarthy.

Sadly for Tina, however, the manshe loves - or once loved - dumped her for a girl named Jasmine withturquoise braces.

But Tina says she will learn to love again, if shecan find a man willing to break down the self-defensive emotional wallshe

has built-up around herself since Dave Farouq El-Abar's betrayal.It was looking like Peter Hu, whom Tina met over

Spring Break, mightsucceed, but Peter's obsession with Korn soon drove her away, as itwould any right-thinking woman.

Tina thinks Michael is going toask tomorrow, on my birthday. About the prom, I mean. Oh, please letthat be true! It would

be the best birthday present anyone has evergiven me. Except for when my mom gave me Fat Louie, of course.

Except I hope he doesn't do it,you know. In front of my family. Because Michael is coming out with uson my birthday. We are going to dinner tomorrow night with Grandmere
