confusing boys

ok well due to my capitain obvious attitude that i love to apply in this blog. this blog is about, you guessed it, how those of the male persuation sometimes confuse those of the female persuation

guys confuse girls
girls confuse guys

i've seen this multiple times in facebook status's that the poor boyfriend does not understand the subtle hints that his girlfriend is flashing at him

unfortunantly he is blind to them. its ok. its not your fault. you just have an X and a Y instead of two X's, so of course there is going to be confusion.

my good friend alex, and the ex that  i went to prom with, was having a bad day and was complaining about not being able to get a date. so i told him what i had told him a few times before
"THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND THE OPPOSITE SEX!"
-because well it doesnt

do you think romeo and juliet automatically understood each other when they met?
probably not
just ponder that for a minute
then move on to the next part of this blog
once your done pondering of course

ok done? good

so heres the real reason i'm writing a blog about why guys are confusing

one reason is because i got bored and asked my friends again to give me ideas, because i couldnt think of anything wildly witty to write about at the moment
and my good friend rylee (the one suggested a blog about feet and turtles) suggested i write a blog about "write about guys and if they like a girl they should do something about it instead of just giving her weird looks all the time and being a chicken."

just by having major girl powers/ intuition, that are semi close to those of a master jedi, i figured out she is having troubles with a boy and i think it might be at work because she encounters a lot of cute diver guys at her work.

the other reason is that i too am confused by boys sometimes
ok sometimes i can read them like a book
and sometimes i'm totally clueless
thank god i have friends that have more experience then me

but your not alone
its an issue that will never be solved- sorry to burst your bubble
the never ending statement "i dont get him/her!!"

theres been many novels,articls and collums about the differences between the sexes and how we dont understand each other.
so being the person i am, and if i dont know something i will go "research" it,i actually have one of those books,i know who'd thought i'd ever stoop to that level. but i got it a few years ago and its entitiled "guys are waffles, girls are spaghetti"
it talks about how guys compartmentalize stuff into sections like the boxes in a waffle.
and it talks about how everything in a girls life are connected like how each noodle in a pile of spaghetti touches mulitple other noodles
its quite interesting actually

i'm actually both
i have different aspects of my life and when something from one section trys to be in another, i sort of freak
ex- current crushes and dumb ex's- they dont mix well

but i also there are things that do belong in mulitple boxes
ex- band - family, school, music, friends- the mix nicely

so i'm waffles and spaghetti in some ways
- i know, i'm just unique

so now i'm FINALLY going to answer rylees question
why is that boy giving her weird looks and wont do anything
as in the next move of asking out on a date

well hes probably scared to death
inside all of us is that one thing that can make us turn into enormous globs of jelly instead of the strong person we are
its not you rylee. ok maybe its a little you, but its not your fault.
theres so much personality and you there, he doesnt know what to do.
hes probably just afraid you'll say no
which quite frankly is one of the main reasons why i sometimes fail to snag a relationship sometimes

i'm a big chicken when it comes to stuff like that
i have a lot of pride and i'm a bit self concious. so if someone deny's me i wwaaaaay over think it.
i think "he must think i'm crazy, and wont talk to me ever again, and ohh god why did i do that i'm sooo stupid."
on and on until i'm on the floor in my bedroom with a carton of icecream crying over it because i over thought it
whatever you do
DONT END UP LIKE THAT!

just give him hints that you like him
and give him weird looks back if he ever gives you those
and if hes not catching anything hes not worth your time
there are tons of fish in the sea

but if you do snag him good job :)

heres some rulesto follow

1-be honest about your feelings- very big piece of advice!
2-dont go too fast- another good piece
3-go at your own pace
4-dont let others influence what you should and shouldnt do
5-listen to your heart- ok that one sounds straight out of a romance novel
6-just be yourself no matter what


see heres the problem with having confusing boys, or confusing girls
sometimes we dont live by those rules and someone gets hurt. and then it gets complicated.

girls try to give hints to guys to let them know that they like them
and sometimes they dont get the message or interpret it wrong.
the problem is we are two different people
hes a guy
your a girl

the trick is to find a way to communicate with the opposite sex

guys always think girls are so complicated
and girls always think guys are so dumb to their hints


from what i've found out, the opposite sex likes the same tricks that you use on them.
so if you like to be complimented and feel good about yourself
so does the opposited sex
were reciprocal
just treat them how you would want to be treated

be genuine
be nice
be honest
compliment them
dont belittle them
be supportive
dont complain
just be an extra good friend
care for them sometimes more then they care for themselves
notice details that may be very important
be your wonderful self
and its totally fine to be confused

so rylee all i can say is
just be yourself and treat others how you would like to be treated
and maybe drop some big hints

good luck with that boy
i hope it helps :)

true friends

friends
amigos
pals
chums
associates
links
contacts
pal
buddy
companion
comrade
crony
mate- i think this ones funny and i always think of an australian guy saying "gooday mate"

people you know that you have something in common with or maybe you just think the other person is semi interesting and you just call each other friends so you dont have to call them a cordial aquaintance

the dictionary.com definition is....

friend

[frend] Show IPA
–noun
1.
a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.
2.
a person who gives assistance; patron; supporter: friends of the Boston Symphony.
3.
a person who is on good terms with another; a person who is not hostile: Who goes there? Friend or foe?


so pretty much its someone you can stand for longer than two seconds

i have all different kinds of friends

there are the best friends-
 the ones that would bail you out of jail no matter what. i have a few of those, i think caroline would be one of them, they always include you, start the converstaion on facebook and are always willing to have a chat no matter what. they are genuine and kind and are a "bosom friend" :)- love you chicka

then there are the good best friends-
the ones that invited you no matter what to an event even if you havent been able to come to the last four they have invited you to they still decide to include you (thank you alex clark and sarah ferraro).
they talk to you all the time on facebook and they care more about you then you ever thought anyone ever could (jawzii).
they listen to all of our crap that is going on in your life even though they've only known you like two weeks and just having someone to listen to you and talk to is one of the best things anyone could ever do(armon). the ones that say "if your going to even think about dating this boy i'm going to have to talk to him first." and say that "if this boy cant accept you for your height or something else about you then he is totally not worth your time"(tristan)
they are so over protective sometimes it pisses you off but you know its for your own good  and you love them anyways because of it, because they are your adopted big brother (alex cook).
give you advice. pick you up when your down and sometimes bring you cupcakes if your having an unusually awful day(thanks again tia and ali)
 the ones that come over no matter what and are always ready and willing to have a zelda night or play some maro kart on wii, they let you jump on their trampoline, and you scooter around the block with them all summer long. they know you better then you even know yourself (nick)

then there are the "friends"-
its the people you hang out with at school but sometimes you honestly dont know anything about them. you just so happen to be in band  with them and since you've both been through hell and back (sorry mom) during band camp you just somehow become "friends". or that you've been friends with these people for so long you dont know what to call them besides friends. you sometimes talk but you honestly dont know if they even care about you or what is going on in your life. these "friends" sometimes enjoy making fun of your insecurities, such as that you are a hopeless romantic or that you had a fling with a pretty spanish boy *cough* luke nord. they sometimes dont invited you because they "forgot" or they "couldnt get a hold of you". then they post on facebook how fun it was to be at that party. yeah thats soo much fun.....
i just want to be included

then there are the family friends
my dad would be one of them
we have the weirdest discussions and when i'm talking to him i usually dont have to worry about anything. if caroline for some odd reason couldnt come and bail me out of jail i would probably call my dad next.
all of my cousins and my aunts and uncles and my grandparents are some of the best people ever and i am proud to call you my family


over these past few weeks i've experienced some stuff that sort of drew the lines of where my true friends lie and where my not as true ones lie. i still want to be friends with people but now i have an idea on who actually matters to me. who cares for me as much as i care for them.


and its because of this i now know who my true legitimate go to the ends of the earth friends

are you in this group?

just your every day dork

so heres the gist
so yesterday i had to go do this research study about teenagers and political views in denver for this company. - got paid 75$ :)

so yesterday we drove down town (my mom, my sister and myself) and parked and walked into the building
it wasnt until i signed in and sat down with the lobby that i noticed how different i really looked compared to the rest of the kids
i looked like a legitimate dork

first i had my pink glee shirt on- which a ton of people love that show and well i just looked very young and immature and like i watched high school musical and the disney channel as well- which i dont!

then there was my glittery silver converse - which i love to death! and every body else was in like something other then converse. so i felt like the 2nd grader thats obsessed with glitter everything with the 6th graders that are talking about boys.

then my butterfly ring- that i think is really cool and unique but compared to everyone else i was so not up to date

so i  look like a freshman instead of an experienced senior


ok well i was just being myself
but everybody had a job that was a legitimate job, not babysitting
they were all wearing profesionalish clothing- except for that one guy who was a total stoner who said "weeds better for you then caffeine" - felt a little better about myself after that.

i was just in my regular street clothes that are comfy. plus my hair pulled into a pony tail- its like i cant do my hair or something!

one guy who was two years older then me is a small business owner for streaming sports events and stuff across the country. so i felt like a baby

i mean i'm 17 years old
i dont really stay with the fashion
i like my own stuff
my own style
im very original

but really? who are we kidding
i'm a dork
my friend armon likes to disagree by saying that "im not sure of a good word for it, but it seems to me that a dork is typically lame, and i know you arn't lame" - yes i did quote you

so there you have it i think i'm a dork- but not really

ok so i have a bassoon-a-ram-a shirt that i love
i say "heres the gist" alot
i blog- enough said
i have worn a sparkly beadazzled purple and white satiny cape around school that said "a-west marching band" on the back
i'm a hopeless romantic
i have a t-shirt of "the kiss" - the sailor and the nurse kissing in time square
i love marching band
i sing my show and make charts of my drill
i make star wars jokes
i love long words with odd meanings
i love musicals
i dance like a crazy person
i like taylor swift because her songs corelate to my life waaaay more then they should

i'm a dork and i'm ok with it
and armon - i know your going to disagree with me calling myself a dork
yay dorks!

if quiggles wasnt an a**

what would happen if my friend alex quigley wasnt an a**?

-sorry mom

the world may end

so heres the gist
- wow i do start alot of these like this

ok any way
 my friend quigs is a friend of mine. he enjoys hiking, marching band, being a nerd (especially in physics), likes to make fun of me, is VERY sarcastic, thinks hes cool, knows english german and apparently treble clef base clef , is NEVER EVER called by his first name (its alexander michael quigley-i found out finally what his middle name is!!victory!) but we all call him quiggles, quigs or in the case of my friend paige, pookie :) thats my favorite

but anyway he asked a legitimate question for a blog post

"If I was never an ass... Haha. (I know. 100% hypothetical)"
but i guess its a pretty good question because his sarcastic comments are a huge part of my life and of many of my friends


so what would happen if he was never an a**?


we'd totally be out of weird comments

and assumptions thats hes having a bromance with my friends nick and luke- i guess you could call it a threesome- lol

out of nerdy comments that are some how associated with physics which i do not understand

we would be out of  a grammar nazi- i know sad day

and we wouldnt have someone that hates talking about politics soo much that he will "Talk Politics to me, and I'll punch you in the FACE!"

and i guess you could say that if he wasnt an a** he wouldnt be the same person, might not be involve in music with all of us weirdos,  and probably wouldnt be drum major! - scandalous!!


goodness this is getting serious!

i guess one good thing would be that if he wasnt hanging around with music kids he wouldnt be associated with my friend rylee and i guess then i wouldnt be their mexican maid named hooolia and then i wouldnt ever have to get them lemonade- inside story/joke

but any way if he wasnt an a** i couldnt glare at him when he made a mean comment and then what would i do in my free time!?!!

but if he wasnt an a** i guess he wouldnt exist because he'd just be alex not quigs
we probably wouldnt be friends
and we'd have someone else as drum major
and who knows what our season would be like then?
so i guess having quiggles being an a** is an essential part
maybe he should just stay the way he is
or maybe he could be nicer- just throwing that out  there
but hes fine for a friend
and theres nothing i can change about him
dang it!

-kidding :)
