This week...
1. A friend was talking to me about a young person who might need a personal assistant [under a direct payments scheme in which people needing extra support in their daily living can employ some one to provide that support] to do 'girlie' things with her. She was talking about how that might be something I want to do, and I do... but then we agreed I'm not that kind of 'go shopping', 'paint your nails', 'dress up', 'read female magazines', type of 'girlie'... hmmmm....
2. went to salsa class today for the 2nd time... There are always more girls than guys at such social dancing classes. This time I made sure I got to dance the 'girl's' part for most of the lesson, unlike last week... but I still did the guy's part for the merengue (which is probably a bad idea coz I can't lead people and I don't know the steps). We were doing the couples dance in a big circle and change partners after each dance. hmmm.. I don't want to dance the guy's part next week...
3. My new housemate and her friends were going to a 21st party today.... They looked stunning, in their pretty frocks and snazzy shoes. hair-straighteners to do their hair... matching handbags... I always say I cant be bothered to dress up anyway... but I guess its also when I want to... I get confused about what's nice... usually I don't have too many options to choose from anyway... coz I can't be bothered to go shopping so don't have that many nice things.... It's a simple case of 'you sow what you reap OR you get nothing out of sitting on your bum at home all day instead of going to MeadowHELL (term of affection by Sheffieldians for Meadowhall, a big shopping centre in Sheffield which is crazily busy on weekends)'. haizzzz...
I'm definitely not the only 'un-girlie' girl amongst my friends... haha but at least they have better fashion-sense than I do... (Disclaimer: I'm not in any way saying 'un-girlie' is an un-desirable trait... 'girlie' or 'un-girlie' are both neutral descriptions of how people behave in this world)
also, I think I'm not bothered enough to change myself... I find it a little tiring trying to be 'girlie' when I'm not... I think I'll concentrate on my salsa dance steps instead :p
Can't take on too many things at one time can I? :p
