Well, I didn't mean it as an insult.

It's only in that picture that you look so young. In any of the others I've seen you look like you could be 20, though a little youngish looking, but not too much so. As I said, it's just this picture.

If Volo had been wearing a tuxedo I would accuse you of being involved in some sort of plot to infiltrate the Penguin colonies.

All the same, the picture offers some photoshopping opportunities.

Actually Mith has a fair point. I would love to imagine this was everyday dress in areas where the dress code consists of more than a ski suit.

Did your grandmother make the gloves too Lommy? 'Cause they match amazingly if not!

All this talk of marriage makes me laugh though. Lommy and Volo? Not entirely sure about that.

No, she didn't. I just have a good taste. And don't be fooled by the colours, the dress is greener than it looks like in picture.

e) something else, what?
a) With him? Come on...
b) Too funny, we would be first ones to drop out although we did fine in the end, however hopeless we were in the dance practises at times...
c) Well, you should have seen me when I borrowed my mum's long black coat and had a scarf around my head... (actually I might have a pic somewhere)
d) You know, I could. I love the dress. And although it does not show in the picture, I had real ivy in my hair and it was just awesome.
e) The correct answer. In Finland, we upper secondary second graders have this ball (except that it's more like a performance than a ball, since we just learn the dances and perform to the other students and later to parents) to celebrate the fact that we are to be the eldest of the school. Due to the abnormal girl-boy ratio in our school, at least half of the girls dance with guys from other schools or with first or third graders or with other girls... I was lucky to have this certain first-grader friend...

But morm, he's killed the chat skewrl - therefore we are free to chat as much as we like! Mwahahahaha!

On a somewhat more topical (and less insane) note though, it is a nice pic Hookbill. Love the colour of the shirt!
