Last night, Beth was crying. Seems some guy she's know other for a year on the Internet broke her heart. He kept telling her he didn't want a girlfriend. She liked him, and was hoping to get him to be her boyfriend. She's on a boyfriend hunt. She's 16 and thinks she must have a guy. Well, last night, this boy told her he couldn't talk to her any more because he had a girlfriend. When she told me that, I said
him. There are other guys out there. Don't worry about him. During lunch today, my mother, Nicki, and I were talking about how shallow guys are. They love Beth's personality on the computer but when they meet her, that changes. I think that suck. I just want to shake all those guys that turn her down.
At times I wish I could help Beth but I have my own guy troubles. Like I never had one. At 16, she's more advance in the guy department than I am.
My mother tells me that it's probably for the best that I focus on myself first and foremost and not guys like Beth does. However, I just hope all this waiting and fear of guys pays off in the end that I get a guy I want that is my dream and worth all these years of trouble. However, some days, it's hard to think I'll probably find a guy. I guess I have my standards too high.
And many guys out there are such
hats. At this moment, my sister and my father at her apartment trying to get her stuff. She and her roommate allowed the roommate's ex-boyfriend to move it. Big, utter mistake! He basically used their generosity and in a sense, chased my sister out of the place. The place is trashed. He trashed it when he moved out. It's just sat and rotted after that. And he wouldn't clean while he lived there yet fuss all the time about the apartment. It was hell for my sister and she's going to live with this hell for a while. The apartment complex called her yesterday chewing her out about the apartment's condition. I know if they are called about how she takes care of a place, they'll blackball her, as they should. It's not all her fault, I know, but she should have been more firm than she is. We're too passive. She's going to get blackballed all because of a
hat of a man. My parents are just grateful she's an adult so they don't become legally liable for the mess.
Man, I can have such a cold heart at times.

Men..ugh. can't live with them, can't shoot their funbags off w/o going to jail.
Posted by: S at May 22, 2004 9:50 PMSadly there is nothing your sister can do but take the responsibility for the place. Her name was on the lease so that makes her responsible for everything and anything that happens or gets damaged. Hopefully she learned her lesson and will never allow this kind of thing to happen again.
Posted by: Dragon at May 23, 2004 2:43 PMYes, I know. And she knows. And she knows NEVER to allow it again! Don't worry, he's going to get his one day. Not from us, but from someone that won't allow him to use them.
Posted by: Shawn at May 23, 2004 2:52 PMSad for Nicki that sometimes we have to learn the hard way. I'm so glad my mom works in a court house and has helped protect me from some of that crap.
And Beth certainly doesn't need a boyfriend at her age, she is still so young. There is lots of life to be had, and being tied down at that age isn't necessarily good. I hate it when girls seem to think they need a boyfriend, because they often miss out on so many other things while spending time searching for a guy.
Posted by: Chewie at May 23, 2004 9:27 PMExactly. Even at this age, I know the pressure's on by some people, not my parents however, that I must be with a guy and I'm a freak because I'm not with one. However, I know some people would be envious for my life. And yes, Beth doesn't need a boyfriend. However, she keeps getting bombarbed by a culture that says she's not normal if she doesn't have one. And then if we say that neither Nicki or I had a boyfriend at that age, she remarks we were freaks and are still freaks. 
Men are nothing but trouble at her age anyway!! Ok at any age... LOL
