The reason I'm such a horny loser--REVEALED!
Okay, so can we all agree on just one thing? Guys, you like girls because your body wants you to have sex, and girls, you like guys because you’re needy and whine a lot. Wait--wrong chapter. Haha. No seriously: girls, you like guys because your body wants you to have sex. (Unless you're a guy and girls aren't your 'bag,' in which case your body still wants you to have sex, just not with girls.) Come on, can we *please* agree? It would make my life (and the rest of the post) so much easier.
So then “What Is Love?” (Awesome song, by the way.) I’d like to think I’ve worked it out in the simplest way: that love is having a friend you’d still be with forever even if you knew there was no sex; someone you’d have sex with even if she wasn’t as pretty as she is. (I think I’ll stick with this theory until something or someone convinces me that it’s not quite everything.) I’m sure there’s stuff missing from this definition. Maybe it’s stuff that’s important, but I just forgot about it when I wrote that. Or maybe it’s stuff that’s useless and superficial, like calling each other “honey.” This is all good and fine; I’m *comfortable* with this idea of what love is--and before you say it, it’s NOT because I’m trying to get with one of my friends, and it’s not because I’m too shallow to be in what you would call a real relationship. (What WOULD you call a real relationship, huh, smartass?) I’m comfortable with this definition because it doesn’t go against the fact that I feel horny a lot of the time I shouldn't, and because it doesn’t give me the feeling that it’s just disguising sex appeal to be something deep and mysterious. (Which is the way I feel about the ‘pop music’ idea of what love is.)
But then they tell me that this is too young to be looking for a real relationship, so I know exactly NOTHING about what I’m supposed to do with myself, relationship-wise, for the next bunch of years. If I’m too young to know what love is, then what are high school relationships about? “Having fun?” That sounds a lot like cheap thrills and sex, and I would be fine admitting if that was all there is to it, but I don’t know if it is (and I don’t *want* it to be that, either. At all!) And even if I admitted it, I wouldn’t admit it to anyone else, least of all the girl I’m with (unless she happened to agree with me), and that’s not something I’d want hide.
All the crushes I've had since I wasn't in elemntary school--all the REAL crushes, where I can't talk to her, and avoid her in the hall, (this happens to OTHER people too, right? RIGHT?)--it's just been, after I stood back and looked at it, because she had pretty eyes, and I liked the way her hair smelled. So what does that mean? Everything I've really FELT anything about anyone, has all been hormones happening, lust. Does that mean that I can't have a meaningful relationship with a girl I like, because it's probably just because she's hot?
People will probably say I'm shallow, or I lack some deep understanding, but they can go to hell, because listening to Avril Lavigne doesn't give you an enlightened opinion. What I'm trying to say with all of this is that I don't know what I should be looking for in a relationship, between society saying that it has to be deep and meaningful, and then seeing guys run around with pom-pom-waving floozies or girls run around with drug dealers (what IS it with the 'bad guy' appeal, anyway? Sounds a lot like bullshit.) When I get past my own hormones and think straight for a second, the only thing I feel would be an okay use of a relationship is a best friend I could make out with if I wanted to. Does that really sound so bad, and if it does...can you blame me?
