I know a handful of lolis and like I said, you can't compare them to grown women. Grown women smell badly, are loud, have weird hair, and are just too big. Lolis smell nice, are usually quiet unless excited, have nice healthy hair, and are small enough to carry around.

Yea, so do I. I have two sisters ages 12 and 13. Their friends are over all the time. I'm surrounded by by 12 year olds who treat me like their big brother all the time. I know this probably far better than you do.

They're innocent and forgiving, that's it. They still smell, they're far louder than mature women, they don't take care of their hair, and they have far too much energy.

They're still real people. And they still have real problems. You're perception is slighted towards a reality you wish to be real. It's not.

That aside; I still love my sisters to death.

It's been the same way the last 12 years. Deal with it.

I love lolis too, but the fictional, idealized lolis. Go read Lolita, it's a far better take on what the imagination does to the image of a loli in a mans mind. The reality is far different though.

[Anonymous No.]

Were lolis in the past actually pure?

Teenagers have always been teenagers and I'm sure their chatter has always filtered down to the younger kids, so I'm worried that little girls weren't as innocent as old films make them out to be. After all, they had the Hays Code and other censorship programmes, so it's not like they could have lolis openly discussing sex (Stanley Kubrick said he wouldn't have made the 1962 Lolita film if he knew how much it would be censored).

But at the same time, I've heard anecdotal evidence that seems to reinforce that lolis were pure. For example, my grandfather wouldn't let my mother watch television if there was a kissing scene. But she grew up to be a slut in the 70s because of how much he sheltered her.

Please tell me there were pure little girls, /jp/. I want to dream of cute lolis who ate lollipops and rode bicycles and didn't even know what a penis was until they were 25.

I wouldn't mind if I was born in the future and everyone was sexually liberal to the point where it was nothing and I could feel comfortable about it.

I'm a fujoshi. About eleven years ago I was on the girls intermural soccer team of a Catholic private school.

If you think middle school aged girls are pure and innocent and don't smell, then clearly I don't think you've ever experienced being in a van full of sweaty, smelly girl friends after a soccer match, or gone to a slumber party, or threw a wadded up paper detailing the cute thing that X did and trying to find out if X likes Y, or crowding around boys in a corner of the playground and asking them perverted questions to see how they would react.

On top of that, when I was even younger than that, I had planned on becoming a nurse, and my parents had bought me a lot of medical encyclopedias for me to read. So by the age of nine I already knew about the anatomy of men and women, and sometimes I would bring them to class during quiet reading time and read them under the desk with this one boy who was completely astonished by the fact that females had breasts.

And to go even possibly into TMI-land, it turns out that at an even earlier age I'd been pleasing myself by humping a pillow, back before I even knew that there was a word for it, or that it was something perverted.

Anyways, "purity" is highly subjective. My best advice for you is to make some female friends, preferably around the same age as you, and hang out with them a lot.

Thing is, how much of this is pressure?

As a teenager, I felt like there was a lot of pressure to do or at least talk about lewd things. I imagine it was worse for girls, and I knew a lot of girls who regretted a lot of their actions because they felt forced into them prematurely.

I don't think it's so much "peer pressure" as "societal pressure". You're expected to go "beyond" how you actually feel, and be more grown-up than you really are. So you're losing your virginity when you should really be having your first kiss, when you don't even want to.

They don't have to be sluts. Just find some girl you share interests and maturity with and become friends. If that level of maturity is adult between the two of you and the timing is right, then more often than not you end up in a relationship.

Yes, it was my first relationship which lasted about two years. I thought he'd be the one I'd marry, but then he started coming to school less and less often. All the while he was losing interest in me, didn't want to talk or text me, didn't want to hang out and didn't want me to cheer him up and ended up dumping me. I don't know what went wrong or what happened to him but I didn't see him at graduation. But I don't regret it at all since I learned from it.

If it does, I have some harsh news for you virgins. Every girl out there that's 18+ has done something sexual with at least 3 guys, and if that is stopping you from dating her then....well I guess you'll be alone forever.

You guys sound more feminine than us females......lol

Any form of sexual experience is a deal breaker.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm a normalfag, I've had a few girlfriends and although I'm not madly successful with women, I thought I'd list a few of the things we men think but rarely say about women:

1. We do have a fuckzone. I actually like the easy sex that sluts offer, although I've only fucked one and that was some time ago. But here's the thing: Very, very few men will be interested in you as a long term partner with a view to eventual marriage if your number is large. You need to understand this.

2. We're getting sick of your pornstar demands in the bedroom driven by your porn addictions and obsession with everything from rape to being pissed on. It's fun now and again, but jesus christ, you accuse us of perversion and literally everything you ask us to do and say you enjoy doing is straight out of a fucking porn movie. How badly has this shit rotted your brains? It's not even rough sex anymore, it's like you all actively crave the most sadistic degredation imaginable. It has gotten to the point where some girls actually can't orgasm from sex unless the guy is beating the shit out of her.

3. Dressing conservatively actually makes men think well of you. There have been times, at events, dinner parties and so on, where me and my colleagues will see a girl with a longer skirt and almost implicitly treat her with more respect and more like a gentleman that we will the girl who is wearing a dress so short we can see her panties.

If you're fine with being a whore, that's cool. But don't demand we treat you like we treat the girls we want to marry and have kids with, because it isn't going to happen.

Doubt of the real facts, as I must reveal them, is inevitable; yet, if I suppressed what will seem extravagant and incredible, there would be nothing left. The hitherto withheld photographs, both ordinary and aerial, will count in my favor, for they are damnably vivid and graphic. Still, they will be doubted because of the great lengths to which clever fakery can be carried. The ink drawings, of course, will be jeered at as obvious impostures, notwithstanding a strangeness of technique which art experts ought to remark and puzzle over.

I always hear you guys talk about "women" as if they're some huge, homogeneous entity which obeys some kind of inscrutable internal logic. That's dumb. Not because it's misogynist (it is, but who cares) but because it's an oversimplification which is only ever going to lead you towards a false understanding.

I mean, everywhere I look there's a million posts like:
>women are all terrible in exactly this way

And that's retarded. Look, some women are greedy, materialistic, and vain. Whereas other women might be simply cock-hungry sluts, or insane feminazi man-haters. But they can't all be all those things at once by sole virtue of possessing vaginas. Everyone is terrible in their own particular way. Presuming that a woman is going to follow a predictable pattern of shitty behaviour is a bad fucking idea. Because if there's one thing I know about women, it is that you cannot ever understand them, and they will come at you with some insane fucking shit which you could never imagine, pic related

In the end I must rely on the judgment and standing of the few scientific leaders who have, on the one hand, sufficient independence of thought to weigh my data on its own hideously convincing merits or in the light of certain primordial and highly baffling myth cycles; and on the other hand, sufficient influence to deter the exploring world in general from any rash and over-ambitious program in the region of those mountains of madness. It is an unfortunate fact that relatively obscure men like myself and my associates, connected only with a small university, have little chance of making an impression where matters of a wildly bizarre or highly controversial nature are concerned.

It is further against us that we are not, in the strictest sense, specialists in the fields which came primarily to be concerned. As a geologist, my object in leading the Miskatonic University Expedition was wholly that of securing deep-level specimens of rock and soil from various parts of the antarctic continent, aided by the remarkable drill devised by Professor Frank H. Pabodie of our engineering department. I had no wish to be a pioneer in any other field than this, but I did hope that the use of this new mechanical appliance at different points along previously explored paths would bring to light materials of a sort hitherto unreached by the ordinary methods of collection.

Pabodie's drilling apparatus, as the public already knows from our reports, was unique and radical in its lightness, portability, and capacity to combine the ordinary artesian drill principle with the principle of the small circular rock drill in such a way as to cope quickly with strata of varying hardness. Steel head, jointed rods, gasoline motor, collapsible wooden derrick, dynamiting paraphernalia, cording, rubbish-removal auger, and sectional piping for bores five inches wide and up to one thousand feet deep all formed, with needed accessories, no greater load than three seven-dog sledges could carry. This was made possible by the clever aluminum alloy of which most of the metal objects were fashioned. Four large Dornier aeroplanes, designed especially for the tremendous altitude flying necessary on the antarctic plateau and with added fuel-warming and quick-starting devices worked out by Pabodie, could transport our entire expedition from a base at the edge of the great ice barrier to various suitable inland points, and from these points a sufficient quota of dogs would serve us.

We planned to cover as great an area as one antarctic season—or longer, if absolutely necessary—would permit, operating mostly in the mountain ranges and on the plateau south of Ross Sea; regions explored in varying degree by Shackleton, Amundsen, Scott, and Byrd. With frequent changes of camp, made by aeroplane and involving distances great enough to be of geological significance, we expected to unearth a quite unprecedented amount of material—especially in the pre-Cambrian strata of which so narrow a range of antarctic specimens had previously been secured. We wished also to obtain as great as possible a variety of the upper fossiliferous rocks, since the primal life history of this bleak realm of ice and death is of the highest importance to our knowledge of the earth's past. That the antarctic continent was once temperate and even tropical, with a teeming vegetable and animal life of which the lichens, marine fauna, arachnida, and penguins of the northern edge are the only survivals, is a matter of common information; and we hoped to expand that information in variety, accuracy, and detail. When a simple boring revealed fossiliferous signs, we would enlarge the aperture by blasting, in order to get specimens of suitable size and condition.

Our borings, of varying depth according to the promise held out by the upper soil or rock, were to be confined to exposed, or nearly exposed, land surfaces—these inevitably being slopes and ridges because of the mile or two-mile thickness of solid ice overlying the lower levels. We could not afford to waste drilling the depth of any considerable amount of mere glaciation, though Pabodie had worked out a plan for sinking copper electrodes in thick clusters of borings and melting off limited areas of ice with current from a gasoline-driven dynamo. It is this plan—which we could not put into effect except experimentally on an expedition such as ours—that the coming Starkweather-Moore Expedition proposes to follow, despite the warnings I have issued since our return from the antarctic.

The public knows of the Miskatonic Expedition through our frequent wireless reports to the Arkham Advertiser and Associated Press, and through the later articles of Pabodie and myself. We consisted of four men from the University—Pabodie, Lake of the biology department, Atwood of the physics department—also a meteorologist—and myself, representing geology and having nominal command—besides sixteen assistants: seven graduate students from Miskatonic and nine skilled mechanics. Of these sixteen, twelve were qualified aeroplane pilots, all but two of whom were competent wireless operators. Eight of them understood navigation with compass and sextant, as did Pabodie, Atwood, and I. In addition, of course, our two ships—wooden ex-whalers, reinforced for ice conditions and having auxiliary steam—were fully manned.

The Nathaniel Derby Pickman Foundation, aided by a few special contributions, financed the expedition; hence our preparations were extremely thorough, despite the absence of great publicity. The dogs, sledges, machines, camp materials, and unassembled parts of our five planes were delivered in Boston, and there our ships were loaded. We were marvelously well-equipped for our specific purposes, and in all matters pertaining to supplies, regimen, transportation, and camp construction we profited by the excellent example of our many recent and exceptionally brilliant predecessors. It was the unusual number and fame of these predecessors which made our own expedition—ample though it was—so little noticed by the world at large.

As the newspapers told, we sailed from Boston Harbor on September 2nd, 1930, taking a leisurely course down the coast and through the Panama Canal, and stopping at Samoa and Hobart, Tasmania, at which latter place we took on final supplies. None of our exploring party had ever been in the polar regions before, hence we all relied greatly on our ship captains—J. B. Douglas, commanding the brig Arkham, and serving as commander of the sea party, and Georg Thorfinnssen, commanding the barque Miskatonic—both veteran whalers in antarctic waters.

You'd leave your house some time during the early evening, just when the sun is beginning to hang low in the orange and purple sky at just the right angle to highlight all the various bugs flying about in the air. In that very same air the sounds of suburbia are always constant; dogs barking in the distance, cicadas ratcheting in the trees, the Mourning Doves calling from the tops of the street lights. Making your way to her house down the block you would of course be subject to the various scents the neighborhood has to offer like the freshly cut grass and meat on the grill, or the scent of chlorine from the pools. More than anything those scents triggering a sense of nostalgia and relax you.

After making my way up the path to her door and knocking on it, she appears in the doorway casually dressed in a long skirt, t-shirt, and sandals. Looking up to you with a smile on her face her hair hangs freely down her back, and she looks absolutely perfect. Although you've spent a great deal of time together in the past, this will be your first actual date. Sticking your hand out for her, she grabs it and you two begin walking down the pathway to the sidewalk, and then down the block.

Along the way you're both not quite sure what to talk about. Occasionally you look down at her as she looks up at you and your eyes cross paths, forcing you both to quickly look away and feel slightly embarrassed. Still, neither of you let go of the others hand. Eventually you think to talk about

As we left the inhabited world behind, the sun sank lower and lower in the north, and stayed longer and longer above the horizon each day. At about 62° South Latitude we sighted our first icebergs—table-like objects with vertical sides—and just before reaching the antarctic circle, which we crossed on October 20th with appropriately quaint ceremonies, we were considerably troubled with field ice. The falling temperature bothered me considerably after our long voyage through the tropics, but I tried to brace up for the worse rigors to come. On many occasions the curious atmospheric effects enchanted me vastly; these including a strikingly vivid mirage—the first I had ever seen—in which distant bergs became the battlements of unimaginable cosmic castles. Pushing through the ice, which was fortunately neither extensive nor thickly packed, we regained open water at South Latitude 67°, East Longitude 175° On the morning of October 26th a strong land blink appeared on the south, and before noon we all felt a thrill of excitement at beholding a vast, lofty, and snow-clad mountain chain which opened out and covered the whole vista ahead. At last we had encountered an outpost of the great unknown continent and its cryptic world of frozen death. These peaks were obviously the Admiralty Range discovered by Ross, and it would now be our task to round Cape Adare and sail down the east coast of Victoria Land to our contemplated base on the shore of McMurdo Sound, at the foot of the volcano Erebus in South Latitude 77° 9'.

I've gone to a few anime conventions with friends and came out with even more friends. Some of these friends are attractive, and even better yet, some of them are interested in Touhou. All are working or at least in graduate school. More importantly, they are interested in Touhou.

A little over a year ago some friends of mine, a male Touhou fan and a female Touhou fan met for the first time. Two convention nights later they were a couple. I went to their anniversary party a few months ago and they were still a happy couple.

These are two fairly normal people.

Another two of my friends, one is an insanely shy, tiny girl who is a molecular biology major, and the other a music major. Surprisingly they already live together, play games together and watch anime together. They have been a happy couple ever since I first met them in my freshman year of highschool.

The last lap of the voyage was vivid and fancy-stirring. Great barren peaks of mystery loomed up constantly against the west as the low northern sun of noon or the still lower horizon-grazing southern sun of midnight poured its hazy reddish rays over the white snow, bluish ice and water lanes, and black bits of exposed granite slope. Through the desolate summits swept ranging, intermittent gusts of the terrible antarctic wind; whose cadences sometimes held vague suggestions of a wild and half-sentient musical piping, with notes extending over a wide range, and which for some subconscious mnemonic reason seemed to me disquieting and even dimly terrible. Something about the scene reminded me of the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich, and of the still stranger and more disturbing descriptions of the evilly fabled plateau of Leng which occur in the dreaded Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred. I was rather sorry, later on, that I had ever looked into that monstrous book at the college library.

On the 7th of November, sight of the westward range having been temporarily lost, we passed Franklin Island; and the next day descried the cones of Mts. Erebus and Terror on Ross Island ahead, with the long line of the Parry Mountains beyond. There now stretched off to the east the low, white line of the great ice barrier, rising perpendicularly to a height of two hundred feet like the rocky cliffs of Quebec, and marking the end of southward navigation. In the afternoon we entered McMurdo Sound and stood off the coast in the lee of smoking Mt. Erebus. The scoriac peak towered up some twelve thousand, seven hundred feet against the eastern sky, like a Japanese print of the sacred Fujiyama, while beyond it rose the white, ghostlike height of Mt. Terror, ten thousand, nine hundred feet in altitude, and now extinct as a volcano.

Puffs of smoke from Erebus came intermittently, and one of the graduate assistants—a brilliant young fellow named Danforth—pointed out what looked like lava on the snowy slope, remarking that this mountain, discovered in 1840, had undoubtedly been the source of Poe's image when he wrote seven years later:

—the lavas that restlessly roll
Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek
In the ultimate climes of the pole—
That groan as they roll down Mount Yaanek
In the realms of the boreal pole.


Danforth was a great reader of bizarre material, and had talked a good deal of Poe. I was interested myself because of the antarctic scene of Poe's only long story—the disturbing and enigmatical Arthur Gordon Pym. On the barren shore, and on the lofty ice barrier in the background, myriads of grotesque penguins squawked and flapped their fins, while many fat seals were visible on the water, swimming or sprawling across large cakes of slowly drifting ice.

So, I've been accused of "blaming the victim" several times before, for suggesting that girls not get super wasted around a bunch of alpha douches if they want to lower their chances of being raped. Serena Williams made some similar comment about the Steubenville rape case, and in defending her comments, I got to thinking.

I find myself enjoying the stories where I'm arguing about that sort of thing. So much so that I don't feel bad about the actual rape at all... like, at all. Why? Do I feel like it's some "deserved" comeuppance? Do I hate women and secretly want them to be raped?

The answer I am thinking about is maybe yes and no. I think it's not that I like women getting raped; it's that I like telling them what they can and can't do. That is, I want to tell women that they can't dress all slutty and get sloppy around a gang of dudes. And here's why: that shit is so disgusting and degrading. I want women to wear headscarves and not get too drunk and not hang around men. They shouldn't be doing that shit anyway, and it's highly unattractive. It evinces a complete lack of self respect, and I hate it.

So that's the maybe no, part. The maybe yes part is that I'm not even mad at the dudes who rape women exhibiting these behaviors. I'm glad they do it, because it reinforces the negativity of those behaviors. They are enforcers, of a sort, of a certain moral etiquette. I would hate, to the verge of killing, someone who stranger raped some demurely dressed woman who isn't making a spectacle of herself. That's just scummy. But we kind of need the date/party rapists to remind women that that shit isn't for them. It's okay for men; not so for women.
And, related to that last bit, it reminds me that there are some awesome things about being a man that I want to remain that way. I want men to be the only ones who can get wasted and loud. I feel like that is our exclusive right, and women have encroached upon it in a way that is need dialing back

I had an epiphany about 2 years ago, and I thought I'd share

in high school, I was anti-social and spaghetti ridden. but you know what? nobody fucked with me, when by all rights they should have and I wouldn't have done shit. yet people made efforts to be friends with me. girls approached me. I fucked those potential relationships up with my sperglord-ness, but still

you wanna know why? because back then I had a "style". I had a look. I looked like I belonged somewhere.

I realized that as an adult, I had become boring. I wore polo shirts and a shaved head and looked like a useless face in a crowd. I decided to change that. I made the choice to go back to my high school look. I grew my hair out past my shoulders, worse converse shoes, made a hundred hemp bracelets that covered by my entire forearms, and started rocking a pullover fleece with the middle cut open.

the result: strangers started striking up conversations with me. some drug dealer approached me and said "you look cool man, wanna buy some weed?" (dumbass), a girl in a cafe walked up and started stroking my hair and said OMG you look like curt cobain

the problem, jpsie, is you look boring. eschew the hoodie, the earbuds, the band tee, the autism shoes, all the trappings that identify you as a bland 90s kid. find a style and those of your clan will seek you out

Using small boats, we effected a difficult landing on Ross Island shortly after midnight on the morning of the 9th, carrying a line of cable from each of the ships and preparing to unload supplies by means of a breeches-buoy arrangement. Our sensations on first treading Antarctic soil were poignant and complex, even though at this particular point the Scott and Shackleton expeditions had preceded us. Our camp on the frozen shore below the volcano's slope was only a provisional one, headquarters being kept aboard the Arkham. We landed all our drilling apparatus, dogs, sledges, tents, provisions, gasoline tanks, experimental ice-melting outfit, cameras, both ordinary and aerial, aeroplane parts, and other accessories, including three small portable wireless outfits—besides those in the planes—capable of communicating with the Arkham's large outfit from any part of the antarctic continent that we would be likely to visit. The ship's outfit, communicating with the outside world, was to convey press reports to the Arkham Advertiser's powerful wireless station on Kingsport Head, Massachusetts. We hoped to complete our work during a single antarctic summer; but if this proved impossible, we would winter on the Arkham, sending the Miskatonic north before the freezing of the ice for another summer's supplies.

I need not repeat what the newspapers have already published about our early work: of our ascent of Mt. Erebus; our successful mineral borings at several points on Ross Island and the singular speed with which Pabodie's apparatus accomplished them, even through solid rock layers; our provisional test of the small ice-melting equipment; our perilous ascent of the great barrier with sledges and supplies; and our final assembling of five huge aeroplanes at the camp atop the barrier. The health of our land party—twenty men and fifty-five Alaskan sledge dogs—was remarkable, though of course we had so far encountered no really destructive temperatures or windstorms. For the most part, the thermometer varied between zero and 20° or 25° above, and our experience with New England winters had accustomed us to rigors of this sort. The barrier camp was semi-permanent, and destined to be a storage cache for gasoline, provisions, dynamite, and other supplies.

Only four of our planes were needed to carry the actual exploring material, the fifth being left with a pilot and two men from the ships at the storage cache to form a means of reaching us from the Arkham in case all our exploring planes were lost. Later, when not using all the other planes for moving apparatus, we would employ one or two in a shuttle transportation service between this cache and another permanent base on the great plateau from six hundred to seven hundred miles southward, beyond Beardmore Glacier. Despite the almost unanimous accounts of appalling winds and tempests that pour down from the plateau, we determined to dispense with intermediate bases, taking our chances in the interest of economy and probable efficiency.

He should put it out of its misery. It would be the right thing to do.

Wireless reports have spoken of the breathtaking, four-hour, nonstop flight of our squadron on November 21st over the lofty shelf ice, with vast peaks rising on the west, and the unfathomed silences echoing to the sound of our engines. Wind troubled us only moderately, and our radio compasses helped us through the one opaque fog we encountered. When the vast rise loomed ahead, between Latitudes 83° and 84°, we knew we had reached Beardmore Glacier, the largest valley glacier in the world, and that the frozen sea was now giving place to a frowning and mountainous coast line.At last we were truly entering thewhite, aeondead world of the ultimate south. Even as we realized it wesaw the peak of Mt. Nansen in the eastern distance, towering up to its height of almost fifteen thousand feet.

The successful establishment of the southern baseabove the glacier in Latitude 86° 7', East Longitude 174° 23', and the phenomenally rapid and effective borings and blastings made at various pointsreached by our sledge trips and short aeroplane flights, are matters of history; as is the arduous and triumphant ascent of Mt. Nansenby Pabodie and two of the graduate students—Gedney and Carroll—on December 13—15. We were some eight thousand, five hundred feetabove sea-level, and when experimental drillings revealed solid ground only twelve feet down through the snow and ice at certain points,

In certain of the sandstones, dynamited and chiseled after boring revealed their nature, we found some highly interesting fossil markings and fragments; notably ferns, seaweeds, trilobites, crinoids, and such mollusks as linguellae and gastropods—all of which seemed of real significance in connection with the region's primordial history. There was also a queer triangular, striated marking, about a foot in greatest diameter, which Lake pieced together from three fragments of slate brought up from a deep-blasted aperture. These fragments came from a point to the westward, near the Queen Alexandra Range; and Lake, as a biologist, seemed to find their curious marking unusually puzzling and provocative, though to my geological eye it looked not unlike some of the ripple effects reasonably common in the sedimentary rocks. Since slate is no more than a metamorphic formation into which a sedimentary stratum is pressed, and since the pressure itself produces odd distorting effects on any markings which may exist, I saw no reason for extreme wonder over the striated depression.

On January 6th, 1931, Lake, Pabodie, Danforth, the other six students, and myself flew directly over the south pole in two of the great planes, being forced down once by a sudden high wind, which, fortunately, did not develop into a typical storm. This was, as the papers have stated, one of several observation flights, during others of which we tried to discern new topographical features in areas unreached by previous explorers. Our early flights were disappointing in this latter respect, though they afforded us some magnificent examples of the richly fantastic and deceptive mirages of the polar regions, of which our sea voyage had given us some brief foretastes. Distant mountains floated in the sky as enchanted cities, and often the whole white world would dissolve into a gold, silver, and scarlet land of Dunsanian dreams and adventurous expectancy under the magic of the low midnight sun. On cloudy days we had considerable trouble in flying owing to the tendency of snowy earth and sky to merge into one mystical opalescent void with no visible horizon to mark the junction of the two.

What an awful and embarrassing thread.

If you find a person you genuinely love, you'll soon find yourself that you don't even care if they're a virgin or not. You won't care about their looks or weight, or anything trivial like that. You'll bother be too busy having fun and loving the shit out of each other.

At length we resolved to carry out our original plan of flying five hundred miles eastward with all four exploring planes and establishing a fresh sub-base at a point which would probably be on the smaller continental division, as we mistakenly conceived it. Geological specimens obtained there would be desirable for purposes of comparison. Our health so far had remained excellent—lime juice well offsetting the steady diet of tinned and salted food, and temperatures generally above zero enabling us to do without our thickest furs. It was now midsummer, and with haste and care we might be able to conclude work by March and avoid a tedious wintering through the long antarctic night. Several savage windstorms had burst upon us from the west, but we had escaped damage through the skill of Atwood in devising rudimentary aeroplane shelters and windbreaks of heavy snow blocks, and reinforcing the principal camp buildings with snow. Our good luck and efficiency had indeed been almost uncanny.
