Invasion of the girl

06.14.07 - tags: girliness - comments (9)

I'm wearing a skirt today. And I got a pedicure. I'm becoming downright girly; it's bizarre.

The funny thing is that I'm always intimidated by things like pedicures or make-up or anything girly in general. I always feel like I'm not feminine enough to do any of that, that I would stick out like a sore thumb. You'd think I'd learn after a while that it doesn't actually happen that way.

I think I've just aways shied away from femininity in general because I don't want to come across as ditzy or overly frivolous. But I have to admit that sometimes it's nice to feel pretty.

Wow! Looks nice, but a pedicure must run pretty pricey for you six-legged types.

Fortunately, we went to the Aveda Institute where the future pedicurists of America practice on freaks of nature like us.

I can't believe there's someone else who feels this way. I always feel like such an impostor when it comes to being girly, so I tend to go in the direction of manicure/pedicure, etc. in an effort to eradicate any signs that I might, in fact, be a bear or something along those lines. That being said, I should probably cut myself some slack since I have only the standard issue two legs to deal with.

Also, for the record, I am not a bear.

I bet the both of your are six-foot bears. And tall, too.

You're right, Wil. There's no point in denying it any longer.

Jane, you should have realized there was someone else who felt that way because you and I are two little bear cubs that were separated at birth.

Andrea: no kidding. I really should cease being surprised by the similarities.

And it's why I like the both of you.
