Particular friendships - between girls of another House, and girls older or younger in the same House were frowned on. It was fine to gaze at a crack as an official goddess though. One could be cracked on a Senior in another House - ideal, because it made her even more remote and goddess-like.

I came across this on another thread (the Spoonbill one!) and so can jsut about understand. English Angle also made some comments there too, but I like the double entendre in bold?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :oops:

I think it's been discussed elsewhere but it just means she had a 'crush' on me, someone older and wiser :mutley: as 12 year olds have a tendency to do.

Oh, well not as spicy as I thought! So you were goddess like then EA?!

Still concerned about my warped mind when I misinterpreted the comment that I put in bold on my last post...actually thought I'd spice it up this Monday afternoon!

(Perhaps Spoonbill was right after all..it did mess with my mind!!!)
