I just remember thinking how disappointing other girls were, when I was a child. Not just girls: the boys, too, were a bunch of unimaginative cowards, but it was the girls I was more disappointed in because my mother had raised me on this diet of dialectics about the GREATNESS OF WOMEN and how WE CAN DO IT and all that jazz. I used to have a red t-

OOh, I used to get called a 'gyppo' as well, which is weird as I was also known as The Posh Girl From The Fuck Off Big House too. However, I appear to have grown up in I Capture The Castle and wore Victorian rags that I found in the attics and never brushed my hair so er well.

I dressed out of charity shops and hippy festivals and had rainbow shoes with dolphins on. :| I'll see if I can find a photo of my astounding variety of tragically bad haircuts at some point, I mostly look like something flew in from Norway and nested on my scalp.

Good to know I'm in such illustrious company in being called a Gyppo, though! Excellent lady journalist & excellent lady novelist & ... mediocre lady poet! WE ARE THE DREAM TEAM.

I wanted to comment on this, but I don't really have anything productive to say. I'm glad I grew up in the country though. I didn't have many peers, and we all played together and there were no boys until a bit later, so we just did whatever outside. Mostly playing in the woods. Then the other girls discovered ATVs, snowmobiles, dirt bikes and other machines and I was out.

I like adventures but, admittedly, I'm pretty out of my element here. I much prefer risking the actual wolves than the metaphorical ones.

It seems like you're not getting left behind, at least from the outside. But I feel that way sometimes because I'm in school forever. Then I realize I don't want the things I'm being left out of, so I relax.
