Vicarious.

One great thing

about being a girl

is that you can meet another girl

and within 10 minutes,

she'll start telling you

about a boy she used to date

who did her wrong

and you're instantly interested.

By the end of the story,

you're ready to TP his house.

Or she can tell you

about how she met her fiance,

and by the end of the story,

you have hearts in your eyes.

You don't have to know her,

and you never have to

talk to her again,

and still you know

that you're friends.
