thick skin II



Why does living surrounded by guys make me lonely for men? In the last 24 hours:



Male on my floor, "You're totally rocking the freshman female look. You know, like when girls gain 15 lbs and just walk around in sweatpants and a beanie cap all the time."



Male in my squad, "What's up with the females and metabolism here? I can't believe how much food you all put on your trays."



Priest at mass-- No great quote, but he just spoke about the evils of contraception. It was his tribute for mother's day to inspire people to go procreate. Nothing was mentioned to males about being careful with who they knock up or sticking around to help out. Weird.






After all of this I found it incredibly reassuring when a female from another platoon related that a guy in her squad thinks I have a nice ass. It's my hallmark moment for the week. At both Basic and here the LDS guys are the safest bet for friends.
