Bare abs, adulthood and - did I say BARE ABS?

Bare abs, adulthood and - did I say BARE ABS?

I was a bit introverted as a . Not the kind of girl that guys asked out or were even interested in really. I attended a small private school and the majority of the girls were - well girly.

I was not.

I was into sports and could hold my own if I had to.

So typical PE class I'm out on the field (I forget what sport we were playing) while all the other girls had notes from mommy because they broke a nail and were sitting on the bleachers. Did I mention it was a bit of a snobby school?

So I'm maybe one of 3 girls on the field and we're surrounded by all the guys. Teams are chosen and people were shuffling position to match up with their team. And there is Sean in the middle of it all.

Sean wasn't a particularly good looking guy - really. Relatively nice but in general a jock. And in pure jockville - what does he do? Takes off his shirt.

No I didn't stare! Really!
I just kinda.. spaced out while looking in his direction.

But he caught me. And the show began. "What's the matter Cricket - never seen a man without a shirt on before? Can't stop staring?" That was the nice stuff. He just started spouting more and more crap to make his buddies all laugh. I had nothing - no retort, no quick wit, nothing. I just stood there embarrassed all to hell and staring at the ground (might have still been staring at his chest, I don't remember). Waiting for coach to PLEASE call the game to start so the focus could move elsewhere.

Funny thing is, now - nearly 30 years later if I were caught staring at a guys bare chest (or my personal weakness - bare abs), it would not be embarrassing to me if I were to be picked on for it. I'd be laughing too and yeah, I'd have some comeback for sure.

I bitch all the time about how I hate to be the adult; about how sometimes I'd like to do away with responsibility, good decision making and good behavior. But I didn't like being that girl back then, and I would never want to go back to it. I like how we've all grown up How we've migrated into beings that are (for the most part) comfortable in our bodies and our personalities.

I mean tell me - if you caught me staring into space in your direction - wouldn't you take it as a compliment? C'mon let's try. I need to sharpen my wit!

 I'd love for you to stare at my chest.

Well it is a long distance stare but I'm staring nonetheless. If only I could do more than stare!

 I've caught a few women staring at me during my earlier days....quite a cool thing
Everyone is on a different plane of intelligence. Some people's plane has not taken off yet!!

Eh, I'm in the same boat. Could catch an eye in my past. Nowadays I tend to catch those eyes with crazy antics instead.

 If I caught someone staring in my direction I would smile at the compliment.

Staring staring staring..
