cereal monogamy as a way of life

[calculations]

August now, and two boys in my wake. When did I start telling time this way? I should probably just start having sex with many millions of boys until they all start running together.

I think I know how you feel.

I like to live my life by a set of rules - the world is just too chaotic to navigate without imposing some order. E.g. don't buy anything with sequins, no matter how cute. Those kind of things are easy, I have the hardest trouble with feminist ideology vs. wanting boys to like me. My inconsistencies are getting out of hand - legs not shaved since January, but bikini line almost always in order.

The female condition exists, it's terrible but comforting. Why is having boys so comfortable? Why can't platonic friendships give the same intimacy and ease without the volatility? Is it this hard for boys, or harder?

I shave my legs and not my armpits. This is just as bad as shaving them both, or worse. Hey, this is Mikaylah and I am a huge creep I guess and just found your livejournal. Sorry if I was weird in the grocery store, I was buying a pregnancy test. It was good to see you. Let's be livejournal friends. Yeah?

I always try to justify shaving my legs by saying that it's just my tactile preference, which is true, but then why do I neglect to shave them when I'm without a boy in my life. Right? It was good to see you too, let's do be livejournal friends :)
