How I properly put on tights, ladies? 'cause apparently I don't know how.

One of my favorite moments at lunchtime in downtown Chicago was when this pickup truck pulled over on State Street and the back was full of ice and Frappucinos. The guy was handing them out to all comers. (Yes it was an official Starbucks pickup, not some random man.)

Sit on edge of bed, put in one leg at a time. Roll from bottom up. Easy, don't pull too hard.

And now after talking on the phone all morning with another individual who does love me very much, he heard me cry all morning, he gave me very tough love, and some not-so-tough love, and I feel better. I am not going to cry about it; I am going to put on my best outfit. I am going to wear my make up and lip gloss, and I am going to class, and Brittany is living for Brittany today. I don't know about tomorrow or the day after that, but right now, that is what I am doing. And then at 5, I am going to work out with one of my best friends. A friend who is my friend every day, not just when they feel like getting off.
Fuck boys who don't think I'm cute. Fuck men who play around with me and use me when it's convenient for them. It's just me now. And my friends who love me very much.

But oh to be 19 once again, even for a day. Knowing what I know now, of course.

You are not alone there Clark. I would make an awesome 19 year old now.

Fuck you, asshole. That's not directed to anyone here.
Oh, and I love you all.

And in the realm of the living and the dead, what else really matters?
You're too young for all of this angst, kiddo. You're going to get frown lines. Save that shit for later. Get out, clear your mind, and howl at the moon.

So I wrote this hella long post about how it sucks being the fifth wheel, but then I read over it, and it basically equates to, "Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me. Love me? Love. Me? Love? Me. Love me. Love me."
BAH HUMBUG.
OH! Fierce Update: so I got all dressed up on friday. I wore this fancy blue shirt, short...really short black shorts, black tights, black undies, black shoes...but my tights kept sliding down, so right after my first class, I rushed back to my dorm and changed into a t-shirt and shorts, AND I WAS STILL FUCKING FIERCE 'CAUSE IT IS A STATE OF MIND.
I want a fierce frappucino right now.

Okay, who is this "Fierce" guy and how did he get so lucky? :O


But it's more his attitude than his looks. I go for that cynical misanthropy thing.

I was intrigued to start it after a friend of mine said she found Jodie Foster attractive (she is so NOT attractive to me with her beady eyes, pointy nose and thin lips). It was actually fun to see people posting pictures of all sorts of different characters.
I've always thought Jodie Foster was attractive, just not massively, overwhelmingly so. But intriguingly so. One reason her face interests me is that it can go either trailer park, or very upscale.

I'm sure there are a few out there, but generally I prefer darker hair and a variety of skin tones.

If I could just talk to a boy without immediately evaluating how little a chance I have of him wanting me, then maybe I could get somewhere. On that same note, if I could talk to a man without fantasizing of how to charm him into wanting me, I would get somewhere too. There are so many REAL problems to worry about!
Ugh. I'm not taking these damn pills anymore.


And the final scene is Louie and his daughters sharing a stack of pancakes in the wee hours of the morning at a diner, and I'm bawling in tears right now because that is so beautiful.

Yikes, these college girls. My 18-year-old had 3 nightmare roommates--lots of booze in the apartment (not allowed) and lots of noise and puking in the wee hours. Then they turned on the washing machine and let the water run while they were out partying, flooding my daughter's bedroom. Luckily she moved across the hall yesterday into an apartment with 3 non-drinkers.

They are having problems with girls. One of them is like the white male version of me. He's never been kissed, never had a girlfriend. He had a "thing" with a girl in 10th grade, and he still isn't over that. He thinks that he needs to....fuck mad bitches...is a way to put it. He thinks that because he hasn't had sex, and he claims that he has no sex appeal, and that's why girls don't want him.
The other one has no problem getting girls that want to fuck him and be friends with him. But he's the romantic, he wants a long-term relationship. Both of them think that they need to be more like...the guys who are more aggressive about sex, and they both come to me about these things, and I have no idea what to keep telling them.
I tell them that I think it's wonderful that they are boys who don't just want sex from a girl, but the way they put it, that's what girls expect. I dunno, maybe they do - I don't know what kids these age want; my interests only lie in men that are old enough to have mid-life crises. I would think that girls want a guy who aren't just after the panties.
I love these two boys with all my heart, and I hate to see them like this.

Sounds more like a self-confidence issue.

I wanted him for a very long time, and our friends wonder why we haven't tried anything, but it really wouldn't work out. I still secretly think he has me on the back burner for when he's in his late-20s and he hasn't had a successful relationship yet.
I dunno... I never remember being a teenager being so complicated.

My mama took me shopping when she picked me up, and as soon as I got home, the jeans I was wearing ripped halfway through my thigh.
They only cost 7 bucks, and they lasted me a year, so hey. That works.


My dad gets these headaches, and my dad also has a temper, and my mom just told him that the reason why he gets migraines is because he gets mad too easily, and she said that migraines give people cancer. I don't know if she's telling him that because she wants my dad to chill out or if she really believes that
And I'm super anxious/excited this week for reasons I can't quite disclose, so today I'm gonna be preoccupied with seeing if I'm gonna be stood up tomorrow or not. If my plans for tomorrow are cancelled, I'll probably be asexual for awhile.
