ok. im gonna premise this by saying that during the four years that ive been at byu, this is the first semester ive felt like ive clicked with all of my roommates. ok former roomies, dont flip, cuz those of you who read this are not the ones i didnt get along with, so rest assured im not talking about you. i love all my roommates right now, and we all get along great. that being said......
my roommates are ultra girlie. i dont mean that meanly, its just an observation. two do hair and one aspires to, two are also pretty trendy indie and all three are way stylish. they also are addicted to things like One Tree Hill, the Hills (which i kinda like), americas next top model, and gossip girl. i dont know if this is just me being un-girlie or what, but i have no interest in these things. i dont scream when geckos dance in a commercial and i dont get super stoked to watch some girls battle it out snatch style on some reality show. it seems the longer i live with them the ungirlie i am. which is weird to me, even though ive never thought of myself as girlie.
is this something about girls i never knew having grown up with brothers or is this some isolated phenomenon? cuz suddenly all the girls i know are obsessed with these shows and i have absolutely no enthusiasm for them, sorry roommates. i try my best but sometimes i just cant do it..id rather go play catch...
i went to post this them realized i wasnt done. so here are the rest of my thoughts:
i dont mind being ungirlie, if i am, and i dont mind them being ultra girlie. what i dont like is feeling like i cant be there for them in their happinesses. i know they are just shows or trends but i feel like sometimes i cant relate just because of that, and it bothers me. i want to be friends with my roommates, not just the girl in the next bedroom. and i guess more than anything im scared that my inability to get excited about these things will separate me from them, which i dont want. i hoep that doesnt happen. i try to take interest but all the drama that results just turns me off. hopefully i can deal...

Try living in a sorority. You realize VERY quickly how ungirlie you are. And how impossible it is to click with just about anyone when they're pretty much absorbed in dumb tv shows, makeup, hair, clothes, boys, and that's about it. I thought living with so many girls, there were bound to be some like me ya know? Yeah, not really. Ugh. I hated living with girls.
One Tree Hill used to kinda be good. At least in the first season, when it was mostly about basketball.
Are we butch?
i think the answer to that lies in the text you sent me the other day about those dikes.
no we arent butch.
we are lesbians.
luff!!!!
