Constance McMillen's school cancelled the prom because she wanted to wear a tux and bring a female date. She sued and the court agreed her civil rights had been violated, but the school was under no obligation to reinstate the prom. Various celebs offered to pay for a prom, offered to have McMillen and her date fly out to some cool party somewhere, but she just wanted to go to her high school prom. A group of parents got together and decided to hold a prom. Word was, McMillen wouldn't be invited. Then, at the last moment, the AP reported that she would be.

Happy ending?

Wrong.

Turns out McMillen and some other students deemed undesirable (including at least two with learning disabilities) were sent to a fake prom that fewer than ten people attended while the real prom went on somewhere else.

I tend to flip out right before travel. Tonight, like clockwork -- flipping out. Not _about_ the traveling, just inspired by.

I bought a new cell phone today, so that I am reachable in Europe, since I will be there a lot over the next year. So now I have a Blackberry. I totally don't know how to use it at all, and I'm all like "I need my Torchwood logo background" again and "OMG, how do I download my ringtones again" and "I hope I set my alarm right." But you can call me when I'm in the UK now (but don't, unless it's an emergency because it's really expensive). Anyone got a rec for apps? Which Twitter app do you like?

I also had long, horrible battles with Parallels Desktop tonight, that have been vanquished for the moment.

All of which means some editing I needed to do has not yet been done. Bah! Tomorrow is another day.

Meanwhile, there is, more Angel 1.19 "Sanctuary" and Buffy 4.17 "Superstar" -- ( Read more... )
