Man I wish I could filter this thing so I only got all the important parts. I'm glad someone's paying attention to the news but I guess that doesn't really count if they're the one helping to edit it. Instead all I get is blah blah blah prom blah blah wanna go out

It's true, isn't it? Everyone's more preoccupied with the prom than the implications of that Rocket heist.

[cupofbatnoodles]

Welp. I've heard that hormones are cruel masters. Can't expect that much out of a high school sometimes.

[miss_dreavus]

But a school full of Pokemon?

[cupofbatnoodles]

Hormonal pokemon?

Time and time again I've wanted to leave those papers in their raw, unedited format... glaring typos and everything, but that's not what I get paid to do.

[cupofbatnoodles]

Yeah that sounds like a good way to get fired. Pity.

[stay_classy_cat]

Yes.

Oh but it is so exciting hearing first-hand accounts when I get the chance. How I'd love to be a reporter. Get right in there with all the action.

[cupofbatnoodles]

You'd probably like a Golbat. Golbats tell some pretty awesome stories.

Don't you think that talking about Team Rocket on a journal network that Team Rocket's leader reads is kind of a bad idea? Besides, you only get one prom! That's a big deal for a high school kid!

Does it look like I'm staging a coup? It doesn't matter where you talk about 'em, they'll find out if they really want to. Ignorance may be bliss but it doesn't make you any less ignorant. How many budding teenagers do you think actually listen to the news? I'll just be waiting to say I told you so when they realize what they've been turning deaf ears to.

As far as I can tell anyone can go to this. Doesn't that mean you get four of them if you're a freshman?

Come on, there's absolutely no way that the Pokemon or the trainers around here actually don't know about Rocket activity in their own city! Just 'cause they aren't panicking doesn't mean they don't know.

And I mean your prom, not just a prom you're going to. It's not like people graduate high school twice.

[private to tone deaf extraordinaire]

[cupofbatnoodles]

Guess we can just agree that my faith in the population ain't as stellar as your shining example.

So then why are you so excited? You're not graduating.

Usually the one who's complaining about this or that isn't doing a thing themselves. So instead of whining like a baby, sttart talking about the news yourself instead of expecting others to do it for you.

[cupofbatnoodles]

Being disappointed hardly counts as whining. I have plenty of my own means for finding out the news, people can talk about their frilly dresses all they want.

[ihaswillpower]

Well, you're definitely complaining about it, which is the same as whining if you ask me.

And you're just saying that, cause you wouldn't have mentioned it in the first place if you can find out the news on your own. You just want people to give to you on a silver platter, whatever that supposed to mean.

[cupofbatnoodles]

I was not aware I was not allowed to express my own opinions on my own journal.

You've missed the entire point, and it's not very nice to imply someone who is telling the truth a liar. I've got the news on right now. A car ended up in a tree on the east side of the city last night at 3 AM, how about that? Three people in the hospital and who knows how it happened.

[trick_room]

I think all of this prom crap is gonna mmake me puke.

[cupofbatnoodles]

I think I already threw up in my mouth a little.
