Marsha lies about Vikki's internet sex partners claiming
they were lesbians when she knew they were adult males, to falsely accuse Terry of being homophobic. Did Marsha love
Vikki when she let Vikki continue to meet adult males for sex on the
internet, or just herself.
Vikki's e-mail below says Simon is really hot; Superman kicks ass

My dear Viz, and Simon if she’s crazy enough to show you this (and we both know she is),
I have been driven insane the past few days hearing about Simon. I am
not terribly far from the line between sanity and full—on
hallucinations in any case, being as I am a stranger in a strange land
(a *Canadian* stranger in a strange land), but this is seriously out of
hand. My task for this week was then set before me: convince Viz to ask
Simon out. (This was her idea..The crazy Iist and the
emil are mine, but I disclaim all liability if you try to actually
understand what I’m thinking. That’s dangerous.)
So— The List
Why Vikki has to ask mon out
1. Simon is really, really hot. Even I know this. Superman kicks ass.
2. Progress. You really can’t just sit there and expect him to do
all the work. First of all, he’s a guy, bless him. Second, this
is no longer the nineties. Women need to take an active role in
relationships!
3. Pick a four letter word beginning with ‘s’. Add’ Simon. Wait five seconds. Repeat endlessly.
4. So you can think of your relatives’ evil nasty comments and
laugh in their faces. “She’ll never have a boyfriend. . be
impossible. . no one could possibly like her.” That’s very
mean, by the way. You should probably slap whoever said it. I know I
would.
5. Because, like it or not, your dad is right. Didn’t I say
pretty much that exact thing last night? *snerk* You know I did,
don’t deny it. Might Have Been sucks.
6. If you don’t ask him out, this list will be for naught. I’m not sure I’d be too happy about that.
7. You have already thought about all of these reasons. You know what
you want, so go get it already. ::mutters:: Making me do all the work...
8. To quote you directly: ‘Do I ever actually have a sane reason
for doing anything? Not that I’ve been able to witness.’
Why is this different? HYPOCRITE!
9. Playing with alcohol and fire is all very good, but Simon is better.
He’s better than fictional characters, too. Yes, even Jon.
10. You don’t have to discuss HP anymore if you don’t want
to. You can snog instead. (Airight, that’s more of a reason for
Simon than you. Are you sure he doesn’t have email?)
11. See reason #1 for reference about hotness.
12. Because I want to know if he’s a good kisser and I’ll probably never have the chance to find out myself.
13. Because we would have more to talk about than how *hot* Simon is.
(but we would probably talk about it anyway, which is fine.)
14. I’m chaneling you again. Here we go: ‘Yes, I know I
bloody well shoud ask Simon out. I know I shouldn’t just let the
chance pass by. I know that if he says no he’s probably not good
enough for me anyway. I know that nothing will most likely
happen if he declines.’ Are you trying to do my job for me, or
make it harder? Now I have to think up more reasons. Not like you need
them. (See #8)
15. I am now going to paste in large sections of Hallie’s
Spiritus aduro and alter them so that they apply. Hold on a second...
God damn I hate school computers. It won’t let me copy the text. Anyway, the relevent section goes something like this:
You have a few options. A, ask him out. Chances are he’ll say
yes, because he’s the one that’s been doing the flirting
(whether he realizes it or not!) . If he says no, you have nothing to
worry about because he’s not interested. And before you mention
your ego, egos heal very quickly. Otherwise, he says yes, everything
goes well and a few years down the road your mum has a new son-in-law
and your relatives have to eat their words. (Heh. Keep reading; I know
you’re thinking that doesn’t always happen.)
B, you ask him out. He says yes. You go on a date. You decide
he’s not the one for you, and dump him. He’s hurt, but
he’ll heal, which is better than the alternative of staying
together when you know it’s not going to work out and dumping him
six months later.
C, you do nothing. And spend the next six months wondering whether you
should have done something. And making my life a miserable hell by
asking me every day if I think you should when the answer doesn’t
change. I really just wish you’d ask him out already.
And that is the end of Hallie’s wisdom (well, no, it’s not,
but I’m not going to type the whole thing out, that’s for
damnwell sure.)
To fill up this annoying space at the en of the list, I am going to
quote you again. :) Throwinc people’s words-back at them is a
hobby of mine. What can I say?
I’m relatively sure that he likes me anyway. He
didn’t used to talk with me at ski practice. At all. Now we
get along relatively well.
See? Now ask Simon out! Or hit ‘print’ and just give him
this damn email! *sigh* Why do naive innocent people always end up
being guidance counselors? GO! I DO IT DO IT DO IT! and good luck.
