So I've decided to give blogging another go for real this time. I briefly tried writing under "Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight" before discovering that I had an even better title for a blog dealing with my version of the world.
Introducing "The Reformed Tomboy!"
In short - I grew up a complete and utter tomboy. I tend to get along better with guys than girls. I find girls over dramatic and catty. (Ironic cause I can get that way myself, however, I'll usually at least admit when I'm being a total bitch.) I had short hair until part way through university and even then it only really got long when I lived overseas for a year in a non-English speaking country and was scared to go get it cut lest they misunderstand what I was trying to say and leave me with a mohawk.
However, as it turns out, these past few years of university in particular have led to me becoming increasingly girly. Old friends of mine have commented on the obvious changes - notably in terms of my ability to dress up should the occasion call for it. (Although admittedly I am still a big jeans and t-shirt fan. I just also happen to own 4 semi-formal/cocktail dresses, 2 ball gowns - 1 being my gr.12 prom dress, 2 shirt dresses, 2 sweater dresses, 2 sundresses and 1 out on the town dress, 1 gr.8 grad dress I still fit into - that's a total of 14 dresses. Not bad considering that until gr. 12 the only dress I owned was my gr. 8 grad dress. There were also 2 skirts that were rotated constantly.)
But I digress.
Dresses alone do not make me a reformed tomboy. Rather, I've begun to slowly be able to distinguish between how to be more than just a friend with the male species. It seems I've very good at reading guys when they are interacting with my friends, however, when they interact with me I tend to assume disinterest beyond friendship. That's slowly changing as I now assume I'm so awesome everyone should find themselves at least somewhat intrigued by me.
So that's the brief intro. There are a lot of things I would like to discuss on here, but I think it will only work if I can get some kind of dialogue going. We'll see how that works out though.
