: notes to self :

for liz

reasons why it`s good to be a girl con`t...

1. indulgence in makeup... even if you don`t have the double lid, eyelash curlers, esp. the one i will send you and mascara are too fun to pass up
2. more choice when clothes shopping, thus more outfits to reflect various moods (ahem)
3. boys are weird when they over analyze to death, decimating the original situation/meaning, losing all mental bearings in the nexus of space... we`re normal if we overanalyze.
4. having long lasting, meaningful friendships/relationships doesn`t elicit classy comments like "dude, you`re so gay!!"
5. we can sob openly in movies, while guys are restricted to a single tear falling down their cheek. anything more throws off the balance between sensitivity and manliness, putting them into the `crybaby` zone (remember your reaction to the Toy Story 2 display?? see what i mean...)
6. male pattern baldness is just not as prevelant with us girls... but i will concede the fact that there are some female george costanzas running amuck
7. if something is cute, we can tell it like it is, and then some, thus buoying someone`s self-esteem or spreading aesthetic goodwill. saying "CUUUUTTEEEE!!!" or "KAWAAIIIIII!!!!!!" in a delighted voice with regular frequency is not a common male activity.
8. we get to be mothers... and get better presents on Mother`s Day... ;)
9. no one can rock synchronized swimming like girls do
10. i just need to have ten items, but really i could have stopped at 4

see, it`s not so bad. the good outweighs the bad, trust me twister!
