...Harvard, where students tend to respond to real-world celebrities with the vague sense that they could do a better job themselves, the recipe for celebrity is complex. And in spite of GossipGeek’s arbitrary dictums on whose blurry cellphone photos and dubious dining hall sightings are newsworthy, some people retain more celebrity status than others. So what do they have that I don?...
...whole is absurd, the most bizarre aspect is the pure unprofessionalism with which Venkatesan handled the situation. By e-mailing students directly, without going through a lawyer or the university, she produced unnecessary stress and confusion for students. The content of her pre-litigious messages is also dubious: She accused them of violating “anti-federal discrimination laws” under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, gender, religion, or national origin.

...Micka today. I don't know with what these "dubious" lovers attract her, to the point that she refuses to get into a quarrel with them. They are so dazzled by her and think that every boy should be in love with her. Of course, I ascribe this to Janek, but Janek finds her disgusting (I don't know why). I think Janek likes me very much. But it doesn't matter to me, either...
