Puppet Master

I’ve been having some problems with my mom lately. Actually it’s been a problem for a few years now. I love her I really do, but lately she’s been putting everything on me. “You HAVE TO do well on the SAT! Check my account!” I’m not asking for much, just some respect. Sure, I’m sixteen, but it would be nice to be treated like a person. She is actually taking over my room. It started with her iPhone and her Bluetooth charging. I don’t mind. Then her clothes started to appear in my room. Umm…. okay, I can totally deal. I leave for one week for a camping trip and I come back with the rest of my closet on the very top shelf and her clothes are neatly hanging in MY closet. I thought a person’s room is supposed to be their sanctuary. Away from reality, away from our troubles. A place where we can totally be ourselves, not be judged, and no rules to restrain us from doing whatever we want. Well, I officially have no sanctuary.

My mom doesn’t understand that I’m still only sixteen. I want to do things on my own time. I’m doing everything she’s asking of me and I don’t think she satisfied. I don’t think she likes me for who I am. She wants a thin, smart, beautiful daughter. Instead, she got an overweight, average, ugly daughter. I like who I am. To me, I’m not so bad. I do well in school, I’m taller than the average Asain, and I’m pretty well- behaved sixteen year old. I wish I could do more

60 Things a Guy Should Know About a Girl

Okay, usually I have things for girls to read. For example, my first one. It was for all girls who either have recently broken up or are still having a hard time getting over someone or just plain don’t understand why guys do things the things they do. My second one was just suggestions on what some people think what guys like about a girl. Now, this one is for the guys to understand what girls like, especially if you guys out there might want to surprise your girlfriends or just a girl you really like.

Now, grab a cup of Joe (<— means coffee) and let’s get started!
1. Touch her waist.
   (yeah it just feels awesome)
2. Actually talk to her.
   (turst me. its worth it.)
3. Share secrets with her.
    (makes her feel more connected.)
4. Give her 1 of your sweatshirts
5. Kiss her slowly.

Are you remembering this?

6. Hug her.
7. Hold her.
8. Laugh with her.
9. Invite her everywhere.
10. Hangout with her and your friends together.
11. Smile with her.
12. Take pictures with her.

13 Things You Didn’t Know Before

When your boyfriend or husband says he’s had a tough day at work, what do you think you should do?
A) Leave him alone and not talk about it.
B) Ask him, “How do you feel?”
C) Tell him you have faith in him
D) Make suggestions and tell him how he can make the problem better

If you chose “C” then congratulations! You have and inkling of what the hell guys are thinking.  When guys have a problem, they feel like they have to figure it out for themselves. Solving a problem for a man fulfills what he likes most which is to feel like “a man.” So when a women tries to help a man solve his problem, he feels weak and… girly. Though when a women tells their man that they can solve the problem, men feel like Superman and can do anything.
IF YOU DIDN’T CHOSE “C” THEN GET A CUP OF COFFEE AND PAY ATTENTION!
I’m about you tell you 13 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT GUYS.
1. Men like to say, “I love you” on their own time. Don’t nag them until they say it.
2. They’ll do anything for sex. Yes, even marrying you.
3. They dig long hair.
4. When women speak softly, men like to listen.
5.  Guys hate arguing. They’d rather compromise.
6. Men admit that they need to be told “no” sometimes. Not all the time, but once in awhile.
7. Don’t ask a man what he thinks of your outfits unless you can handle what he’s going to say. Don’t make it hard for them.
8. The angrier you are with them for staring at other women, the more they stare.
9. When women are happy, men want to please women.
10. If men think they can’t make women happy, they feel less like a man.
11. Men expect women to be ready when they pick them up.
12. Cigarettes make women look cheap and easy.
13. Men are scared to let women into their hearts, because they are afraid to be taken advantage of.
So there you are. 13 things you didn’t know before!

You can’t live with them; you can’t live without them.

I recently read the book and saw the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You.” And you know what? I agree. I agree that we shouldn’t waste our time on jerks. For example; my best friend had been going out with this guy for 3 years. They broke up about 5 months ago because he just couldn’t keep his hands to himself. Finally around 17 weeks into the break- up, she said, “You know what? Screw him. There are better guys out there.” She was right. Two weeks ago, she informed me that she was crushing on this guy we know. She told me about what they talk about and sometimes showed me the IM conversations that they have. Way too weird conversations if you ask me. It took about two weeks for her to get the guts to tell him that she liked him. Now, here’s the part I respect him for. She told him that she had a thing for him, but he straight up said that he wasn’t into her like that. He only liked her as a friend. This time, I’m proud of my friend. She took all of three minutes to realize that it was okay that he didn’t like her. And just like that she moved on.

Cheaters shouldn’t be given a second trial. Why you ask? Because they’ll  just do it again! Unless the guy is camping out on your lawn and practically living there and begging for you to take him back, he shouldn’t be given a second chance because you are just giving yourself another ticket for the hurt train.

Another friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend about 6 months ago.  They went out for 7 months. He was her first kiss, her first date, and her first boyfriend. Now, she never told me why they broke up,  but let me tell you this. He was, wait no, IS a total jackass. She and another friend of ours were texting, she texted something along the lines of this, “…I don’t know what to do now. I’m kind of lost on the next step.” Our friend didn’t recieve it, but her ex- boyfriend did. You know, when your ex is already confused as she was, at least be kind with the reply. Or better yet, don’t reply at all. But this is what he wrote back, “You’re lost? Well, let me point you in the right direction. Stop texting me. Stop calling me. Stop trying to talk to me. I broke up with you for a reason.” Yeah, I know what you are thinking. She went out with a dirtbag like this? Yeah, she did. She was an emotional roller coaster. She’d be happy for a solid period of time. Then she’d become sad and depressed for another period of time. Up until now to be correct. As of the beginning of this month, she got over her ex and is now happy again with her new boyfriend.

If a guy breaks up with you once, that’s it. Stick a fork in him, he’s done. Why? It’s usually because he thinks he can find a better treat, but when he realizes that he can’t find a better treat than you, he’ll come running back. When he gets bored again, you get hurt again. So, unless if you really want to let him hurt you again. One heartbreak from a guy, I think, is enough.

And the lesson of both these stories? If a guy either cheats on you or broke up with you, grab your sexiest outfit, your friends, hit a party, and have fun. You deserve so much more then what those jackasses are offering. Just keep that in mind the next time your about to indulge in Ben & Jerry’s.
