I'm sitting in the library with my world history book open in front of me, but of course, I DON'T WANT TO READ IT!! temper tantrum..
something got me to thinking today in my english class. we were going over a play where the main characters are husband and wife, but they act more like father and daughter, or dominator and play-thing. one girl in my class pointed out how demeaning it was that the husband referred to his wife in the third person: "how is my little sky-lark? did she spend way too much money again today?", etc. I realized that I found it cute before thinking about it too deeply. then some other girl brought up the fact that alot of girls dumb themselves down when there are guys around to attract them more.. ?? why do I always feel too dumb around everyone if it's the norm to unintentionally make myself sound less smart? I'm either living in a completely different reality from everyone else around me, or I really am just some sort of bimbo. either way, I wish girls weren't so critical of each other. I suffer from it too. we compare ourselves to others in the most petty ways, even if it's not apparent. sometimes I wish we all looked the same so that all we had to rely upon were our personality differences. then guys would actually have to carry on a conversation in order to tell if we were likeable.
I think everyone would be better off if that were the case.
ugh, and ancient people worshipped fertility symbols, drew pictures on walls to keep records, lived without civilization like we do today..
I hope whoever's reading this can tell where the sarcasm is.
wouldn't it be cool if our dwellings were connected by rooftops instead of streets? "who's that walking around on my roof?.. oh it's just Mrs. Jones coming around to chat."
