things that I learned the other day:

• Don't be too close friends with a guy or people will ask you if you're dating, even if they're four years younger than you and the idea of the two of you dating is laughable to anyone else that you tell the story too.
• Boys either consider me as a girl, or as one of the boys, there is no real inbetween.
• I like being 'one of the boys', and I hate female gossip.
• Guys want a girl who enjoys watching sport, but not one that actually knows all that much about it so that they can play the man and teach them all about it, for this reason, I'm screwed.
