Right, this is the pro-Scale rant. On Wednesday lunchtime, amid revelations about PJ and Duncan (Phil/James and Jo, to anyone not in the know...) we decided to make a snogging scale, like the one in Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, by Louise Rennison. It was originally the Scale of Jo, and looks like this:
1. cuddle and holding hands
2. peck on the cheek
3. peck on the lips
4. getting off (ie kissing with tongues)
5. getting off while fondling
6. fondling lower
7. naked fondling
8. hand action
9. mouth action
10. "making luv"
It was just something to fill in time at lunchtime, and we found it really funny at the time, so asked everyone in the posse to write down their name - not their real name, a code name or nickname or something - next to the number they had got to. It was entirely optional, and it was just us messing about - we weren't going to tell the world, or call you a slut, or laugh at you for being in the low numbers. True friends don't do that. Some people participated, some didn't. That was that, just some fun.
But nooooooo....... That night, on FODs, there were many entries of peeps bitching or complaining about the scale, how they didn't feel the need to share that kind of information with anybody. That's fine, we don't care! Last time I did this with friends, I wasn't on the list, and I didn't care! They were my friends and I knew they wouldn't judge me! The fact that some peeps in our group have got to #10 doesn't make them sluts, it's because they were with people they really loved. Actually, one person in the Scale camp feels that one of the anti-scale camp people has been judging her because of recent events, so you guys can't complain about people judging you. (Okay, so I'm not picking sides on this matter, I'm just mentioning it to put things in context). Anyway, my point was, it was for our amusement, was never meant to be taken seriously, and people were not obliged to take part. Some people have been seriously overreacting, and guys, the more times you repeat that it doesn't bother you, the more we know it's getting to you!
Please take it in the spirit in which it was intended! Also, this entry was not meant to offend or 'get at' anyone, but I'm just writing my point of view. I think it's also worth saying now that I get on with everyone in the group equally well, there are no people I don't like, or don't trust, or don't get on with.
That is all!
