Girl Scouts...there are good troops, but the one here was run by raging feminists who were eager to mold young girls in their own image. Ick.

I was pretty lonely a lot of the time when I was a young teenager...my brothers had scouts, but by that time most of the girls I knew got wayyyy into boys - and not as just people to hang out and play stuff with. And clothes and makeup and boy bands and...well, I just didn't have anything in common with 'em! I hung out with the boys when they let me, and I did have a few good friends that I saw once in awhile (one of them the girl who just got married...and is expecting a baby in May!), but I did a lot of wandering around in the woods alone, training my dog, and reading and writing. Wasn't so bad, I guess, now that I think back on it! But I did envy my brothers at times.

You can apply exactly the same words to me... I had one good friend, who was a guy, when I was a young teenager. And then when I was sixteen I found the Internet and I met my first female friend. I just wish I had RL friends, even now.
