Dear Boys…

Dear Boys,

Why do you like me? Wait, no. That’s not how I wanted it to come out. That makes it seem like I don’t want any boys whatsoever to like me, and that certainly is not the case. What I really mean to ask is this: why do you never like me when I want you to?

When I make sure to shower and spend some time on my hair and dress like a girl and wear makeup just to impress you, you never pay me any mind. In fact, I can’t name a single time that I’ve actually made an effort to look presentable and gotten the attention of a boy that way.

No, instead, the ones who seem to fall for me are the ones who see me at my worst. The ones who see me with a red face, all sweaty and stinky after I get done with practice. The ones who’ve talked to me when I’m a vulnerable little wreck of a girl. The ones who I don’t touch my hair or makeup and only wear cutoffs and baggy running shorts around. Why are you boys like that? It just doesn’t make any sense at all to me.

What am I supposed to do here? It seems to me that showering actually deters boys. So is that the solution? No more showering?

Worth a try, I suppose.

Buckle Your Seatbelts… We’re In For A Wild Ride

Boy oh boy, it’s been a while, eh? I can’t say for sure exactly what it is that made me log into my blog for the first time in a year-ish today, but I’m glad I did. I loved blurting out my thoughts and interacting with the wonderful world of wordpress, and I’m happy to announce that I’m back.

In our time apart, I managed to do lots of silly things and get myself into plenty of mischief… memories that I’m excited to share with all of you. I’ll also be sharing my struggles with college planning, and later on, my stories as a broke college kid who’s struggling to pay the rent.

So buckle your seatbelts, grab the reigns (or the “oh-shit!” bar) and hold on, because we’re in for a wild ride…
