So who thought that nominating me for Yule Ball Queen would be a good joke? Whomever you are, we need to have a chat. This is not funny.

I don't even own a dress of my own.

I don't know who did it but I certainly hope it isn't a joke!

Who would bother...nominating us?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'm pretty sure that I got nominated on a dare.

I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly the friendliest person there is.

[catblog]

I'm starting to think that it applies to me too.

I'm not really Yule Ball material either.

[cantstarvethisfire]

You're probably friendlier than me.

[catblog]

...Does being awkward count?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I think it does. I wonder if I can just default my votes to someone else.

[catblog]

If I could, I wouldn't mind defaulting mine to someone else myself. I wonder if there's a way we could default our votes to Georgia.

[cantstarvethisfire]

We might be able to.

Are you going to go either way?

[catblog]

...

It depends, I'm not sure my mother wants me back home or not. If not, then I might go, there's not much else to do is there?

[arrogantalloy]

And if it wasn't a joke?

Really? No dress at all?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'd demand to know why they thought this was a great idea.

I always borrowed something from my mom if I needed one. I'll probably have to get one now though.

[arrogantalloy]

Because, you'd look good in a crown. At least that's why put your name in the hat.

And if I think you'd look good in a crown. I'm sure I could get you a dress you'll look great in too.

Also shoes.

[cantstarvethisfire]

You had something to do with this?

[arrogantalloy]

Hey, if you're votable, I'm not the only one who did it.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Great.

I'll get my own dress by the way.

[arrogantalloy]

It is great, how wouldn't something like this be great?

I can at least help you pick. I have it on good authority that I know what a good dress looks like.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'm not a people person.

No thanks, I don't need someone else to give their input.

[arrogantalloy]

If you got nominated, you must be some kind of a people person.

If you insist. I just know what goes best with a crown, that's all.

[cantstarvethisfire]

If this goes all Carrie, someone is going to pay.

It can't be that hard to pick out a dress and those dress people will be here and they can help me figure it out.

[arrogantalloy]

Lighten up, it's just a bit of fun.

Wow, I'm not even a girl and I know how hard it is to pick a dress. And I think I know who to blame for that. Not to mention the shoes to match and the right hair and make up.

[cantstarvethisfire]

If I wear something long enough I can wear tennis shoes and chap stick counts as a beauty product.

[arrogantalloy]

[There is a long pause]

I'm buying you everything you need and I'll get one of the other girls to do your hair.

[cantstarvethisfire]

What? No. Just... give me the name of a dress maker and I'll pick something with them.

[arrogantalloy]

No one's ever spoilt you before, have they?

You can pick everything out. Well, you can get final say on what's offered. I'll just pay for it.

[lovelycassie]

OH wow, Katniss. I could totally lend you a dress.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Thanks Cassie, but I may as well buy one so I'll be ready for the rest of my life.

I should probably do more than braid my hair though.

[lovelycassie]

You're not ready for anything with just one dress.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I seem to be hearing this a lot lately. You have long hair, what's a good thing to do with it? That's not a braid or ponytail.

[doctorkishitani]

I've always thought you were very competent and it was very considerate of you to offer to share your herbology notes last year.

Should I not have nominated you?
