boys

  1. had four classes today and have now started my four day weekend! I don't even know what to do really. I don't even have enough homework to merit four days to work on it. which is totally okay with me.
  2. trying to focus on the positive in life and hoping the negative will work itself out. I just don't even know where to start with the haiti earthquake. it depresses me beyond belief. donating tomorrow.
  3. I applied for a job at the starbucks in the hospital right on campus and got called back for an interview. so hopefully I can impress as a barista and make $12 an hour to pay off some of this wintertime debt...
like I said, I'm trying to focus on the positive and also trying to write on lighter subjects so all my posts don't seem dark and gloomy. so, as the title so clearly suggests, tonight's post is about boys. guys. men. I think "boys" most aptly applies to college males, though. anyway, my overall impression is confusion. do I want a boyfriend? no. in response to the subsequent question, the answer is, as my mother used to say, which part do you not understand, the "n" or the "o?". a boyfriend in no way appeals to me right now. they are time-consuming, distracting, whiny, and jealous. at least, this is the impression I have about boyfriends at this point in my life. sorry to the guys reading this (do people read this blog?), no hard feelings. and while I recognize that not all guys are like that, they should recognize that not all girls want a boyfriend! hello?! just because I enjoy talking to you or ask you to dance at a party or ask if you want to hang out does NOT mean I want to declare our undying love. I'm curious what happened to this concept called "dating." whenever it comes up in conversation with my guy friends, they are like "whoa. you mean, hanging out one-on-one with more than one guy? at the same time as another guy? that's not okay, no way." excuse me, but what the hellllll? people used to date, am I right? anyway, this post took a completely different direction than I intended, but I'm happy with it. on another note, there may be guys in my life, but some seem to have a problem with my "independent woman" thing I have going on. whatever...it's just me. and to the same guys who hopefully are still reading this post...just lighten up. not every girl who expresses interest wants "a ring on her finger."

  1. Good for you--in college they are all still boys, which is the problem. Boys become men much later than girls become strong, wise, independent, powerful WOMEN. Don't know the evolutionary reason for the delay--no doubt has to do with childbearing. Of course, you don't have to be a mother to stand on your own feet and take on the world. Boys/men are hardwired to find and secure a mate--for themselves only--to pass along their dna. They struggle with females who don't really need them to be complete, happy, etc. But when you find a man--who's done being a boy and can appreciate above strong woman--now that's a fine thing.
