Gossip

Mmmm juicy topic, gossip is. I have friends, I have "girl"friends, and I have "guy"friends. The "girl"friends are hyper-feminine (is that a word I just made up?) and the "guy"friends are uber jockish. Then my buds are the friends that most of the time I forget there are gender differences because that stuff isn't as important. My "guy"friends are easy to hang out with because, well I was an athlete and we have that in common. They are laid back, (sometimes a little too laid back) fun and loud. I can get in that groove easy enough.

Then my "girl"friends....they are the horse of a different color. I've never been a girly girl, I climbed trees, played army, and sports, but I had Barbies, dolls and the like as well. But the girly people I can't get in tune with other than just pals. We are friends and we do some things together but as far as close, nah...they have too much stress for me.

Out of the two though, I would say gossip is equal among them, but in different tones. My guy pals gossip about who is hot, and who's not, who has a good job and who has a great lawn. (I know right, a great lawn?)

But wow, you want a lesson in superficial gossip, have I got the people for you!! The sad part is, I find it really amusing (which is one of the main reasons I still talk to these people) how they can be so contradictory to people about how they feel on certain things. I'm amazed at how they change opinions, conversations, and carry on depending on whom it is they are with at the time. It must be exhausting keeping up with who you're supposed to hate this week, and love the next.

My head hurts just trying to keep my kids on time at school, to practice, doing homework, and keeping my house clean(er). I couldn't imagine fitting all that other junk. Why bother? Does it matter that much?? I don't get it I guess...
