I Enjoy Being A Girl — Page 95

I like math.

I can't eat chocolate anymore 'cuz it makes my tongue swell a little.

I often feel like an un-girl. Can't feel motivated to do the stuff that I'm supposed to have done by now. Marriage, children, high powered job with slightly less attractive nanny.

I technically like all the things i'm supposed to like, i just lack the motivation to express active interest. i've even lost interest in using the shift key at this point.

i guess i enjoy being a girl. i kinda resent the societal setup. i hate that women get the one summer and are considered pathetic if they don't marry well or have children. i guess i don't get marriage and children. why would you want to live in debt just to look human? or whatever it is that kids/marriage do.

i like pretty things. i hate the competition among us girls. i hate the harsher societal judgment. i'm sick of the loneliness and lack of trust.

i want to enjoy being a girl and being human, but it all feels like one big ridiculous day at school. in hell.

The last two posts I made here are not to be found by me. So this is a test. oy

Maisie the same thing happened to a bunch of teenagers at the public high school near me. I knew all of them, and all but one died. It's really a shame that some people are so reckless.

But on a lighter note, I drive like and old woman and won't move the car until everone's buckled up!

nygrl, I'm not sure I understand your post.

I just made cinnamon buns after going for a run. I guess the two kind of cancelled eachother out and I'm back where I started LOL

So true Jag, so true.

And the walkman? Really? Weird...

---

I'm sorry you're feeling that way, nygrl! Hope things turn around for you soon.

And yeah, the "slightly less attractive nanny" part was pretty funny.......

---

I forgot what the original topic was.

Oh yeah, what we like about being girls.

i hate that women get the one summer and are considered pathetic if they don't marry well or have children.

This is the part that I don't really get. What do you mean by 'the one summer,' or am I reading too much into this?

---

I'm probably never going to marry well or have children so I guess I'll be pathetic. But I think I like it that way LOL

Oops, should have put it in quotes. The "one summer" deal...you know, the whole ridiculously controlling, fearsome, constant message that women have this sell-by date and are worthless after a certain age, blah blah. Men can divorce and get married again within record time, they have that ageless quality, they deal less with discrimination based on gender and appearance, etc.

Hahaha, I love the age span on this board... because I just got new zit cream stuff. I don't have an acne problem, but these last couple months, usually have three or four zits, usually one on my forehead, one on my chin, and one or two on the left side of my face. I hate it!

I'm really worried about wrinkles, though, because I have a scar on my forehead, and when I raise my eyebrows, my forehead wrinkles up around the scar. My face will probably be totally wrinkly within ten years.
