My Last 5 Diary Entries

The Three People That Actually Read This

so there you go

Ok, so the other day I was at a certain diaryland website. For the sake of anonymity, we will call him “The undisputed King of diaryland”. Said king was writing about buying a comforter and the entry was funny and everything and I have no quarrel with it. Indeed I had a similar experience at Circuit City recently. (but that’s another story)

This is what did kill me though; there were all of these chicks on the comments page posting comments like “ I hate comforters, I don’t even know what a duvet is.” “Why don’t we just go get a beer and then I’ll go down on you?”

Give me a fucking break.

OK I am not saying that there aren’t girls out there who aren’t totally in love with shopping and home décor. And I know that there are girls that love football and beer burps. But I’m here to tell you,I ain’t met many. And by that I mean about one and a half. Just about every chick I know likes to do a few girly things, and to act like you don’t is an insult. There isn’t anything wrong with liking girly things. I LOVE to shop. I love expensive shoes. I love clothes,make-up,getting my hair done and accessorizing. I love buying bedding. I watched a $400.00 quilt in the Eddie Bauer home catalog for a year before it went on sale. I then ordered it AND the shams. They look lovely and they make our bedroom quite happy.

Now before you think I am some crazy freak ass Martha Stewart wanna be, I will tell you a little more about myself. I help mow the lawn. I do most of the cooking, I am the one that cleans the toilets, I help wash the car and I enjoy it. (the car not the toilets-eww) The only time Brian and I get annoyed with each others music is when he takes out My Soundgarden CD too soon to put in Metallica. Not that Lars and the boys don’t rock but hey- Cornell had only been in about a day. We have spent entire afternoons at a bar. I was in favor of Brian’s idea to get the playboy channel. (my favorite show is Totally Busted).

What is my point in telling you all this? Well, I am glad you asked. My point is why can’t a girl be a little bit of both. Why do some women think that to admit to behavior that most have come to believe is “classic chick behavior” is a turn off to guys? I mean guys—is it? When I see chicks doing this I think they are for the most part—well--full of shit. I asked my dear husband what he thought of girls who do this and he gave me a direct quote “Men BEWARE it’s a dirty fucking lie.” So there you go. (So there you go should be read in a Greek accent.)
