A truth should exist, it should not be used like this. If I love you is that a fact or a weapon? - Margaret Atwood

If I love you, is that a fact or a weapon?

Despite their cool poses they wear their cravings on the outside, like the suckers on a squid. They want it all.

Something is unfolding, being revealed to me. I see that there's a whole world of of girls and their doings that has been unknown to me, and that I can be part of without making any effort at all. I don't have to keep up with anyone, run as fast, aim as well, make loud explosive noises, decode messages, die on cue. I don't have to think about whether I do these things well, as well as a boy. All I have to do is sit on the floor and cut frying pans our of the Eaton's Catalogue with embroidery scissors, and say I've done it badly.

It’s always encouraging to be told that it is intellectually acceptable to read the sorts of things that you like to read anyway.
