Women will agree with me on this: Girly crushes are NOT the same as regular crushes. When a girl has a girly crush, it means we've come across a fellow woman that sticks in our mind for some reason. It could be that we think she's pretty or dresses cool, it could be that she cracks us up. Maybe she whooped someone deserving. It could be anything and it's not a romantic or sexual crush.
That said, I was at work today when my friend and coworker (the bitch had off today while I toiled!) stopped by to visit. She, Megan, had her friend Jess with her. Jess is the cutest little thing ever! She is not conventional cute. She is tattooed and pierced and has purple hair, all of which is exactly what birthed the girly crush. Plus, she's sweet. Very open to my multitude of questions about where in NJ is actually decent to get body mod done and why in the blue hell did she willingly undergo surgery to implant little metal plates in her cheekbones (So she could screw in sparkly little gems...I don't get it either.). I want to know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING so a willingness to withstand my barrages of questions in the spirit it's intended is easily a way to my heart. I've been told I can get quite annoying. Jess was a doll. We even giggled at the grandmas that eyeballed her like she was the spawn of Satan. Plus, she works in my favorite store ever: KMart.
I love meeting people. I don't care if they are different or look different from me. In fact, that's actually major criteria for me when seeking friends and acquaintances. If I don't understand something or someone, I have no problem going up to them and asking them stuff. I'll even admit that I probably come across like an asshole but most of the time, they realize that I really am just curious. I'm the weirdest person I know so I look for varying degrees of that in others.
As a closing note, I have a constant girly crush on the writer Laurie Notaro. Seriously, read her. She's awesome beyond belief. I wish I lived in Oregon so I could meet her and hang out with her. These are her books that y'all need to buy:
1)The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club
2)Autobiography of a Fat Bride
3)I Love Everybody (And Other Atrocious Lies)
4)We Thought You Would Be Prettier (True Tales of The Dorkiest Girl Alive)
And if you do get your hands on any of her books and wonder, "Does this shit actually happen to anyone?!" I don't even need to know what event led you to ask. Instead, I offer myself up to you as proof that yes, it most certainly does.
