This will sound wrong right from the get-go, but I love younger boys. Let me explain why.

I was at work the other day and a group of at least 7 boys, no older than 15, came in. Their first question was, "Do you have any samples?" (At See's Candies, everyone who walks in gets a free piece of candy, a sample, regardless of whether they actually purchase anything.)

I said, "No."

"What?" they asked. "Why not?"

"Because you didn't say please, ya jerk."

They all laughed and said their "please"s. Once they were all sampled, one of those boys asked if he could have something else. I told him sure, what would you like?

"Where's the caramel?" he wondered as he walked back and forth between the candy cases.

"They're over here, genius," I told him. He cracked a smile and his friends all laughed at him. "Yeah, genius!" they shouted.

One of those boys had been making eyes at me the whole time. He asked me how old I was, which I told him. "Damn it," he sighed. "You're too old for me to date."

My point being this: boys that age appreciate a woman with a sense of humor, even/especially if she's belittling him in front of his friends. They take it as a challenge. They want a girl who will keep them on their toes.

At what point do guys cease to think this way? What changes in them that they feel the need to date half-witted, bottle-blond women who can't think for themselves? I don't understand it.

Of the many times I've worked with customers within my age range, the response has, for the most part, been different in regards to "horsing around." Many of them have this air of, Who are you to talk to me that way? I don't know you.

At what point as human beings do we begin ignoring that little voice within us that says, "Play! Have fun!" Ellen Degeneres had a whole bit in one of her stand-up routines that was all about paying attention to your inner child.

We all just get so tied up in being adults. Fuck that.

New Rule: You must watch at least one Disney movie per month.

At the end of each Disney movie, like "Mary Poppins" or "Pocahontas", I feel like I can do anything! That's what they want you to feel, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Be silly and merry, and make people question your sanity! It's all in good fun.

On another note, MJRBURNS made this for me a little while back, but I just found it last night!:


Isn't it fantastic? Such creative talent.

Anywho, how are you all? I hope you are doing well!

I know that Vanessa like to include random facts about herself at the end of each journal posting, and in her wake, I shall do the same.

Random Facts about Me:

Be it pie crust, pizza crust, or bread crust, I don't like it. I suppose I just don't like plain stuff. If I've got marinara sauce to dip pizza crust in, then I'll eat it.

I'm half Native American. Mohawk, specifically.

I have an older sister I didn't meet until I was 16. I have no idea where she is now, and I don't feel bad that I don't care.

I once challenged several grown men to a rib-eating contest. I out-performed many, but ended up in the fetal position in my chair and woke up with a meat hangover the next day.

The desert is my haven. Whether I'm beating the shit out of my truck, or tearin' shit up with my quad, I feel like I'm home.
