I never really thought that I was missing out on anything by not having a brother. In fact, if anything, I have been spared the bruises, taunting and ridicule. It must be God's provision too--seeing as how little I am, I prob. couldn't handle the wailing on. So, ok, sweet--avoided that hassle, thank God. Just because I grew up with two sisters doesn't mean I am clueless about men, does it.....?!
As it turns out, I guess I missed out on some really valuable lessons concerning the masculine mind....lessons that my roommates Courtney and Melissa (who both have brothers) are patiently teaching me presently. I am a bit embarrassed to say that I am still this naive about such topics, and with my 24th birthday just around the corner too! However, after a series of frustrating and unsuccessful (on my part) pillow fights with the guys this weekend, it is quite clear that I am in desperate need of an education. My lack of skill and effective strategery must have been apparent to the guys, seeing as all their rage was exclusively taken out on my dainty, petite self. My petiteness has acted as a defense mechanism for me in the past (I am the smallest of the small, have mercy, how pathetic are you for choosing to pick on someone so delicate!)---but they were relentless! The more I fought back, the more they persisted! (I admit it wasn't a totally unpleasant experience--it is funny to see Dan shuffling about and brandishing pillows.)
At the end of the evening, I sat down with my hair all bird-nesty, my ego crumpled and bruised, and with many questions swirling in my head. Don't these guys respect me?! Are they just trying to prove their masculinity? Why are guys so violent? What the heeeeey?! As I expressed my outrage to Court and Mel, they remained unsimpathetic--they even went so far as to say that I had brought it on myself simply by fighting back!!! Can you believe that?! I am not the type to just sit down and admit defeat--not without an all out battle at least. Someone of my stature has to posess at least a small bit of healthy rage if just to retain respect. I continued to argue my point,but they did not buy my feminist rational. After a few hours of them patiently explaining to me the method of remaining unaffected...cool calm and collected in the face of annoying brothers (this pisses them off more than anything) did it only begin to sink in.
I still have a long way to go, and I am not entirely convinced....and this is why I really need your input! If you are a brother, or if you have a brother....please, for the love of all sisterdom, explain to me these things!! I covet your comments...my life may depend on it. (just kidding, but really, what in the world!?)

yeah dude. sorry i missed this one. i totally agree. which is why i don't fight back. i never really thought of it but it makes sense. that must be why i either grow scilent or leave the room when the guys start slinging around pillows or just get roudy in general (i.e. aeroman). it also must be why lindsay doesn't. ha!
oh emily. i feel like we had this conversation once,... like a thousand years ago. (grin)
Eema, this is so true. I also realize that I am quite clueless about guys due to having two sisters and zero brothers!
I am glad you agree Laura Beth. Hm, I am starting to realize that most of my friends that are women only have sisters as well. And we all remain completely unawares of these valuable infomations...

That brings me on to the point of all this. Who among the many United strikers of the past have been the best? For what they are worth, here are my thoughts on the top 5 strikers in the years prior to Alex Ferguson's reign at Manchester Utd. I have a strong suspicion that if you happen to be reading this your views may not align with mine, but I can live with that. manchester united [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]man utd vs[/url] As a tribute to United’s nationwide popularity, the club has held the record for the highest average attendance in English football for over 34 years. The only time they did not hold the record was during the 1987-89 period when the Old Trafford stadium was being renovated. In some circles, it is believed that the Manchester United Red Devils are the most widely supported football club in the world. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]michael carrick[/url] Hopefully this article has given an informative insight into the history of the Manchester United Shirt, and should you be asked on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" for the colour scheme of the Newton Railways Club shirt, you won't need to phone a friend!
Even worse, the final was to be held at the Bernabeu Stadium this year. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid football club[/url] Just entering the second half, Raul Gonzalez collected a pass from Ronaldo to finish the play and set up the first goal of the match. Only two minutes after, Matteo Contini saw the red card and Zaragoza was left with 10 players. But far from collapse due to the expulsion, the Zaragoza player Adrian Colunga faced Iker Casillas and got the equalizer at minute 61. Despite this goal, the Whites kept attacking but it was not until minute 82 when Kaka, who came back from injury, picked up a deep pass from Ronaldo and put the final 2-1 for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s next game will be against Xerez at the Municipal de Chapín Stadium on February 13th, whereas Espanyol will face Deportivo La Coruna at home on February 14th. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]cristiano ronaldo[/url] The team gave a great performance on Tuesday, playing an offensive game and demonstrating why Barcelona and its players are considered the best in Europe. Barca opened the score only 20 minutes after the game began with the newly acquired Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibra had another opportunity to score after a pass from Messi but the ball crashed against the post.

On the other hand if you were to lose then you would wager twice what your original bet was. According to proponents of the system, this strategy will eventually enable you to win the bets you place and when you win you would recover all your lost bets plus one unit profit against your initial wager.
The second group fares a lot worse because, unfortunately for them, the variance in the "value" range will be different for each of them, and it will also vary considerably from bet to bet, making the concept of value mere words (and therefore meaningless). he reality is that the majority of people do not have any means whatsoever of identifying "true" value bets.
8.) Some bingo game sites offer various incentives for the players. Some offer free cash of around twenty to two hundred percent of your initial deposit money and bonuses on your deposit. Hence, you can play more games at such game sites thereby increasing your winning chances. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]play free bingo online[/url] Most players do not notice the bingo system in play while playing the game as you are in a hurry to mark the numbers accurately. Nevertheless, these bingo systems function in a subtle manner and a regular and intent player can locate these systems in action. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]no deposit bingo online[/url] The easiest way to avoid falling victim to a scam is to know the site on which you choose to play. One of the ways this can be accomplished is to talk to other people who play online Bingo to get a feel for the sites they use and what kind of experiences they have had with the site. In most cases, word of mouth is going to be your most accurate means of determining the legitimacy of a Bingo or any other gaming site. Of course, if you are using a free site, knowing about the experiences that others have had with the site is not quite as important, although you do not want to waste your time with something that is unlikely to produce any beneficial results. Of course, a free site is not going to give you much in the way of monetary compensation, and the prizes may be minimal, but for those who are addicted to the game, the challenge is there.

What you have to do is, coordinate the numbers that are called out by the host with what you have on our sheet, aiming at filling up a pattern reading bingo. The pattern would be announced at the beginning of the game, so you have to be careful to know what pattern you are looking out for. The cards have the b-i-n-g-o letters on rows and numbers running as a column. A host would call out a letter-number combination, which you would have to mark on your sheet. For example if I-34 is called, you will have to look at the I column down to search for number 34. In case you have it, you place a market on it, and so on.

I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months ago and just couldn't get that quality out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I telephoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was surprisingly fast. Everything was perfect.

Amazing sound...
