it's * the * girls' * night out
na na night out * it's * the * girls' * night to play * so don't wait up for me. * sigh. (my memory of that song takes me back to summers in the early nineties at the local swimming pool. back when new kids on the block were hip.) anyway, current application of that song makes reference to this past weekend. i drove to philly on saturday for a friend's bachelorette party. we had a wonderful time. we cocktail-partied it up at one girl's apartment, then hit the town. and really, i can't complain--i was only clearly groped once during the course of the evening. this prompted noah to speak the following jewel: "So...i have one question. why did we buy you a ring if you aren't using it to gauge out fascist eyes of people who grab your butt in bars?" ah. well spoken. but i digress. it was funny. the fact that andrea was wearing a mock-veil attracted so much MORE attention from men. i suppose it is because she is "off-the-market" so to speak. none of them feel obligated to follow up. she is, in fact, unattainable. which reminds me...i have been giving a lot of thought to the definition of respect recently, especially in regards to women. most of my conclusions are still works in process. but i have discovered that just because a man might talk alot about how women need to respect themselves and how he wants to build women's positive self-image does not mean that he actively practices this on a daily basis. theoretic principles do not = practical application. i have cyclically recovered from this since early in high school. but GOOD NEWS!! i may be close to a breakthrough. wait for it...wait for it...

Remember K.O., if you can't respect the traffic laws, you sure as hell can't respect a husband! Because God says to always drive 65! !*@^^#&*@^*&#^*&@#
(1) This is one of the greatest things Noah, or anyone, has ever said.
(2) I can't wait for the breakthrough! Don't tease me like this!
I love this entry...You are absolutely correct in your statement "just because a man might talk alot about how women need to respect themselves and how he wants to build women's positive self-image does not mean that he actively practices this on a daily basis. theoretic principles do not = practical application." It almost feels better when men are honest about their sinful nature, rather than to BS, us women, into thinking that they respect women as much as they preach respect! I obviously haven't recovered from those who don't practice what they preach. haha...I do hope you are doing well K. You're in my prayers.
