"She's in love, and the world gets blurry
She makes mistakes, and she's in no hurry to grow up
'Cause grownups, they don't understand her
Well it's a big, big world out there, but she's not scared...
She finds hope in the strangest places
She reads her books, and she knows the faces
Of everyone that ever said she's alone
She knows every word to the saddest songs
And she sings along, though her friends all tell her
That she can't sing...
She's eighteen, much too young
To know what a kiss like that would mean
But her lips, they were no stranger to the touch
And she likes it way too much."

I Got You, Babe.

So many things threaten to destroy a teenage girl. Pressure comes from every direction, dragging her down, breaking her soul... But the worst? Oh, the very worst:

Boys.

They love us. They hate us. They want us to be their best friends, their secrets, and their masks. They want to control us, oppress us, contain us.

They beat us down until we're black and blue in the face, unable to fight them back anymore. They pick us up when we're laying on the ground and patch up the holes...only to smash new ones after awhile.

My sisters and I have discovered that boys, well, they're funny creatures. It's fun to mess with their minds, to torture them the way they torture us.

So ha! Take that. You thought you could control us? Contain us? Keep us locked away in your memory? Nope.

We've been broken, beaten, trampled, and stampeded. We've suffered the storms of your emotions and the ice of your hate.

We got each other. I got you, babe. And the boys? Forget about 'em. We're all that we'll ever need. :]






...until, of course, we feel the need to mess with their minds all over again... :P

they're dumb, confusing, lazy, and utterly rediculous.
