too hard
i wrote this about a year ago when the idea of being in a relationship terrified me and (even though i'm dating a very nice boy at the moment who is most definitely not the reason for writing this) i think it still holds true...
REASON #73: i have yet to met a man who loves both rogers and hammerstein musicals and “buffy.”
REASON #456: you have to say you’re sorry when you’re not.
REASON #103: you have to rub their back during sacrament meeting.
REASON #7: i don’t care what anyone says, boys are sensitive like unto girls. ultra sensitive to what you say, do, and, most especially, don’t do.
REASON #97: i’m high maintenance. any girl worth knowing is.
REASON #946: when guys are mad or hurt, what they call handling their pain in a strong, silent, manly way, is actually just pouting.
REASON #20: as there are only 24 hours in a day you tend to phase out your friends. let’s see… I sleep for 8 hours each day, go to class for an average of 3 hours a day, do homework for another 3 (ok, 1) hours, spend about 2 hours eating. add to that the time is takes to get ready in the morning, run errands, and drive (or if you’re me, walk) everywhere and you’ve used up about 20 hours. that leaves 4 hours to be divided among family, friends, and leisure. oh wait! you’re dating someone? ok. add another hour to getting ready and you’ve got 3 hours every day which you must spend with that special someone and no one else, in order to prove your undying love and loyalty.
REASON #151: pet names like “pookie”, “honey buns”, and “booboo”.
REASON #699: guys don’t like to talk about their feelings.
REASON #700: and they don’t have an obsession with chocolate.
REASON #701: and they don’t notice when you get your hair cut.
REASON #702: and they don’t know to immediately point out how skinny you look in your new jeans before anything else is said (forcing the dreaded hint, “i look fat in these don’t i?” you see guys don’t understand that a girl takes hesitation to mean that since you couldn’t say anything nice you’re not saying anything at all.)
REASON #3: i quickly dismiss guys who are shorter than me, thinner than me, wear more jewelry than me, laugh when people get hurt, aren’t animal lovers, wear turtle necks, don’t understand sarcasm, aren’t strong in the gospel, aren’t working towards a college degree, don’t laugh at adam sandler movies, do laugh at the three stooges, say the word “ain’t”, have ever made fun of a girl they thought was fat or ugly, swear, drink, smoke, like to argue, have longer hair than me, don’t like my friends, think that sarcasm or wit is when you say something mean and then laugh afterwards, are prettier than me, etc, etc. the list goes on and on thus going back to REASON #97, i am high maintenance.
