Today, I wore my Muggle t-shirt. Natalya wore her Ron shirt. We sort of matched! Whee!

After class, before I went out into the sun, I switched out my regular glasses for my sunglasses and made some crack about, "I'm like Scott Summers, in a way. Can't do anything without some form of glasses."

Sofia didn't get it. She didn't know who Scott Summers was. I almost cried.

Not knowing who Scott Summmers is is just sad. I'm pretty sure I knew who he was even before I saw the first X-Men movie, so it isn't like not having read the comics or seen the movies is an excuse, either. Does the girl live under a rock, by any chance?

What kind of friends do you have, exactly? Shameful!

She's very dense, and she comes from a very conservative background. What this has to do with not knowing who the freaking X-Men were, I don't know.

Sofia's super-dense sometimes. Everyone else was shocked, too. Natasha was all, very gentle, "...Cyclops?"

"Who?"

That was when we gave up on her forever.

I tell you, not knowing who important cultural figures are is a sign of the weakening moral fabric of our society.

...Or something. It's bad, anyways.

It's a sign of the freakin' Apocalypse, I tell you.
