My friend gave me an old Avon book as a joke earlier this year and I've only really just rediscovered it and started reading it. At least I hope it was a joke. Written by one Gwenna Packard in 1963, "How come a nice girl like you isn't married?" is touted as "the single girl's guide to sex, men and marriage." So far it's been surprisingly non-judgemental about premarital sex and encourages girls to get on with their lives if the men they encounter are unwilling to commit. I'm not sure if I should be reading this right now. It's upsetting to discover things haven't changed since 1963.
It doesn't help that Liz Phair's "Fuck & run" has been playing in my head all day.
I'm giving up on dating. All my partnered friends will have to find another source of amusement instead of stories about the silly boys I endure. I'm just going to concentrate on work (as usual) and saving enough money to live the rest of my life alone. Or at least enough to get me to Mongolia, only to hook up with a nomadic tribe who finds my pasty white skin amusing but who quickly grow tired of me because I don't have any dating stories to tell them, and they desert me in the frozen tundra to freeze to death or be eaten alive by wolves.

I will envy you and all the delicious beef you will eat in Mongolia.
hmmmm, sounds like a bad day, however thanks for improving my day! Nothing like someone elses suffering to cheer oneself up!
