So, I am going to be slightly sexist right now. (Sorry male readers!) I would say I don't understand men but that'd be a lie. Because I do. They are lazy sacs of water that have no sense of direction. Harsh? I'm sorry but seriously the next time I am forced to do a project/presentation with a man (or rather boy...) I might scream. I know I am not prefect. Sometimes I get doubts about the direction I am headed toward. But as far as academics go, I always try to figure out my shit. So why is it, blog, that every time I meet up with a male to discuss our project/presentation they act as if we will magically figure out 2 minutes before we present? Do they think a fairy will come down and give them their prompt? Holy mother of god. I am only one person. I don't care about your stupid seminar test, or the fact that you like science more than english just help me with the damn project. Alright, he is a nice guy but I am nervous. He just up and left me and we have nothing for this presentation.
Let me be clear, I rarely deal with straight men (as partners for projects, friends, etc.). My interests, especially theater, align with many men but many are gay (or come out sometime during the friendship). I love my friends regardless of their sexual orientation but I just rarely talk to straight men alone. And in a way I feel like my inexperience let's them take advantage of me, making me do all the work for these projects. Anyway they seem aloof when I talk to them. It never is a fair trade in theater, lots of straight girls, many gay guys, and one straight guy, but I guess I don't get distracted. It just sucks coming back to the real world realizing you don't know how to talk to a straight male you are not related to.
So to sum up, I have no straight male friends.
Exciting I know. For those interested in Zombie Prom I will have times and dates soon. Expect Nov. 13-15.
I agree that men can certainly be difficult to deal with some time. It must be hard to make straight male friends when you are always surrounded by your theater friends...but maybe that's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteHilarious. I laughed out loud. I like this side of you! I can't tell you how many students (usually women, I admit) complain that their team partners don't do their share.
