So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

As fast as I was, no boy could ever catch me, and I spent most of my time wresting the other girls from the clutches of the boys and freeing them from the prison of The Spider. I remember being continuously frustrated that I would free a girl and the minute I would turn around she would have been captured again, usually by the same boy. Had this girl NO skill at evasion at all? Was this girl SO SLOW that she couldn't avoid capture for even five seconds? It was a stunning day, then, when my first grade mind finally realized that far from being slow or clumsy, the other first-grade girls wanted to be caught. I know, I thought idea as foreign and illogical as anyone, and I never would have come to it had not I been repeatedly faced with the failure of my otherwise capable female classmates to escape through glaringly obvious holes in Spider-Security. [Naturally it took much longer to fathom why anyone would want to be caught.] Since first grade my intuition for such things has not improved. One time I overheard a girl wheedling a guy into jumping her car for her and I interceded and told her that I had jumper cables and I could easily jump her car. Never have I helped a more miserable and ungrateful person, as I realized too late that having her car jumped was pretty much the last thing she had been trying to accomplish. Just the other day a girl in my lab carried on about one of Rhode Island's unique terrors, the crazed-hairy-centipede-thing, which was preventing her from entering the first-floor bathroom. I heroically disposed of the beast, but when I returned victorious she was unhappy that I had killed a living thing. Recently I had the opportunity to read "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" by Mary Wollstonecraft [which is very interesting]. She seems to agree with me: "In the most trifling dangers they cling to their support, with parasitical tenacity, piteously demanding succour; and their natural protector extends his arm, or lifts up his voice, to guard the lovely trembler-- from what? Perhaps the frown of an old cow, or the jump of a mouse; a rat would be a serious danger. In the name of reason, and even common sense, what can save such beings from contempt; even though they be soft and fair? "These fears, when not affected, may produce some pretty attitudes; but they show a degree of imbecility which degrades a rational creature in a way women are not aware of-- for love and esteem are very distinct things." And yet.......................... Here's the most important question of them all...... Because I unflinchingly kill spiders and bees, because I trap mice and handle snakes, because I fix my leaky faucets, because I do my taxes, because I enjoy lifting all manner of heavy objects, because I am handy with a hammer and a drill and a forklift, because I enjoy solving many varied problems in the field of mathematics, because I can open almost any jar, because God invented stepping stools....... .........does that mean I'll never get a date? 6 Comments. You've always got Dilated. Or maybe you could "tap" an outrageously handsome guy! YOUR POTENTIAL IS TRULY ENDLESS. » middaymoon on 2010-05-04 11:13:25 You can find a guy who wants you to kill those spiders and bees for him and have a gender-role reversed relationship! XP » randomjunk on 2010-05-04 11:30:01 I'm sure you'll come across a guy who doesn't have a man-make-fire complex, more and more of those seem to be sprouting these days. » Illicit on 2010-05-04 11:42:13 hell, i hate bugs, spiders, bees, mice, snakes. i'm sure there are others that feel the same. you'll find someone! » thaitanic on 2010-05-05 10:17:44 » xiaozanghou on 2010-05-05 02:20:16 a girl who can fix her own problems and help out others like you do is my kind of chick, and it's a shame to lose out to other girls who think their independence takes a backseat to flirting with their "natural protector". you'll definitely find somebody who appreciates it. » xiaozanghou on 2010-05-05 02:23:24
