Rhapsodies

I find myself enjoying writing Nikki as the ultimate Genkie girl.

I don’t have any interest in doing a high school comedy, yet. But I find Nikki being entertained by school politics as something with useful potential. The fact that she’s gone out of her way to identify the mean girls, and other schools’ cliques sounds entertaining.

I honestly don’t remember playing dodgeball after elementary school. I certainly don’t have any horrific memories of it as the sadistic hazing ritual it’s imagined as in most media. Having said that, considering the occasional controversy around it, I suspect that, like Paul, I wouldn’t know whether schools still have it or not, one way or the other.
