Enough persecution
On a regular basis I feel persecuted. For being young, being a woman, being non-Christian/Jewish, not having or pursuing a college degree, being non-monogamous, for being non-straight, for disagreeing with the incredibly vocal 30% of this country, for not wanting to wear jeans and a tshirt (and makeup), for being into BDSM, for being pro-choice, ( Read more... ) -
Chivalry gone so wrong
Chivalry can be nice, but this is just abusive:
1. One boy paid for food for three girls: his girlfriend, his girlfriend's best friend, and his girlfriend's best friend's sister.
2. A girl would rather make her boyfriend pay the $4 for a "chocolate smoothie" (meaning chocolate ice cream + ice) instead of getting chocolate ice cream herself for 74 ( Read more... ) -
Oy! Stop cutting your hair!
Men almost always love long hair on women.

"You're gorgeous/handsome/beautiful/pretty"
Dammit, WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE TAKE A COMPLIMENT?!
Seriously! Since I've moved here, I've scared off one person, freaked out another, and actually offended a third!
Out of four people, only one took the compliment. Not very well, mind you, but he didn't react badly at least.
And it's not just in New Mexico! Texas is better, maybe half of the people I've ( Read more... ) -
He came back!
A li'l while ago, I accidentally scared off ths random person by telling him (no strings/intentions just because he should know) that he's handsome. He made himself scarce for like the past month.

*Bounce!*
And my darling ( Read more... ) -
