betting pool

...well, why not? Come on, record your speculations for posterity (yours, not Mel's). Email mel@students.olin.edu with guesses, or just post to =vortex if you're an IMSAn. Intended to be about Mel and boys (marriage, first boyfriend, kiss, date), but if you think I'll cause global thermonuclear warfare by the age of 25, that's a valid guess as well.

1. Erica (IMSA): Mel's totally going to get married before me.
2. Mark Hoemmen (IMSA): Want to bet on which one of us (Mel or Mark) goes on a date first?
3. Sharon (IMSA): I think I will have dated 10 boys by the time Mel dates 1.
4. Erik (IMSA): I'll put in that she will kiss someone before she drinks alcohol in any serious quantity.
5. Klempner (IMSA): And I'll put in the opposite. (Mel will drink a serious quantity of alcohol before she kisses someone.)
6. Kristen Dorsey (Olin): I'll take the bet that [Mel will] kiss someone because she drinks a serious quantity of alcohol.
