Julie has this thing about wanting a boyfriend before she graduates. Although she's pretty and smart and can definitely float into that midlevel popular crowd, she's never really dated anyone seriously enough to use the word boyfriend (and, uh, neither have I). I think her wanting one has more to do with the iconic idea of a "high school sweetheart" than anything else. Me, I'm resigned to waiting until one of those college guys starts appreciating my uniqueness like I've heard they will.
