girls are a peculiar breed aren't we? As much as I love us, its easy to see that our relationships with each other usually tell us a lot about what we are experiencing at our present age.
When we are young we are drawn and fascinated by other girls-who look like us and share the same penchant for polly pockets, long hair and stealing toys out of the 'show and tell' box (maybe only lil kleptomaniacs in the making) As we get older we realise that there's quite a lot that makes up these friendships and aside from the things we like, girls invest a LOT of time trying to please, entertain, abuse, and alienate each other. guys (mostly) pretty much shit all over each other but do so straight-up, to their faces, or sort out their aggression by throwing balls at each other.

Twenty-something girls are pretty terrifying if I say so myself. Equally narcissistic, self-obsessed-tortured and insecure we confide in each other, explaining our neuroses, unsureness of the future angst, and so on-yep pretty egocentric but hey, them's the breaks baby--and being twenty and insecure is pretty break-y.

female competitiveness takes a new ugly form. evolving from teenage bitch-fights about who is hating on each other in the playground, who is a total dag with bad b.o, twenty- somethings feel as though the new age brings with it equal amounts of freedom as mind numbingly scariness in the form of desicion making, career moves, (vomit) relationships with guys and how 'hot' one is (gag-vomit-gag).

As we see each other less and less on a daily basis, we form shields of armour in our poor little brains, cloaking the shittness we sometimes feel with an exterior that is hard, shiny and gleaming. job-GREAT, hair-SUPER-GREAT, social life-STELLAR!
by appearing flawless and superior to our girlfriends we convince ourselves we are better then her. By going on a character assassination of our nearest and dearest we experience a lovely reassurance that we are smarter-more attractive-more intelligent and TOTALLY know what I'm doing with myself
rant I know but girls, much as I love us most of the time should be learning a bit from the ones that reside in Mars (males;in case you dont live in my brain). they dish it out to each other, but can take it. If they think some one's being an a-hole, they freaking tell them, and when they take a piss in the nightclub bathrooms, they don't look each other up and down, they probably (probably a big stretch here) high-five each other about scoring the hot chick or talk about that 'game' crap (new tactic about picking up) but basically the competitiveness is played out on at the soccer (?) field, or the law degrees or such.
And of course I'm not talking about all girls, just my own perception of what is going on around the 20-something mark. And i don't mean that I wish we should be all touchy feely encouraging each other to repeat positive mantras to ourselves in the mirror or something annoying, I just wish this (obviously biologically rooted) behavioural adaptation of trying to compete with each other (for success, popularity and guys) could at least be more out in the open and less simmering beneath the surface, exploding every so often in a pus like way from a teenagery-like pimple
(gag)
so rant over and feeling better, also because of my recently (as of now) acquired skill of touch-typing skills, GIRLS WHATCHA THINK ABOUT THAT HUH? HOW'DYA LIKE MY SUPERIOR ADEPTNESS OF THE QUERTY!
