This is My Life, Really?!

I know that my “About” section is not very descriptive, at all. So I will go into a little more detail about myself. Since my life is so boring, for the next little while, I am going to blog about me.

I am a girly girl with tomboy tendancies.

I love getting all dolled up. I think it is great fun! Kind of like putting on a costume in a way, I am also a big fan of wearing costumes. I have always loved doing hair and make up, on my self and others. I am not naturally creative, but for some reason, when it comes to eyeshadow application, I am creative~ I suppose that is my artistic medium? I just know that I am not inventive or creative, but I sure do know how to mix shadows and put them on the eyes appropriately. And I am pretty damn skilled with a curling iron.

Even as a child I loved putting on make up and dressing up. My girl friends and I would use our kid make up kits or sneak and use one of our mother’s real make up~ We would then use these to make ourselves look like someone from Jem and the Holograms…

When I was less than 3 years old, I took my mother’s knee-highs and attempted to wear them with dresses. I didn’t want to wear tights, I wanted to wear hose like she did. I was always that kid at parties that was over dressed. As a toddler I had a light pink, frilly dress; my “pink party dress” that I had to wear to parties. Yeah, I was that kid. This desire to dress up when I go out or to parties is still in me today, for my birthday, I wore a black and gold sequin, strapless dress~ in December.I have also always loved high heels. I remember being young and loving the “click-click” noise that heels made on floors. I longed for the time when I would be old enough, and my feet would be big enough to wear shoes that make the noise. I wear heels entirely too much, but I really do love the sound I make when I am walking. Yes, that’s right, I revel in being a “clacker”

In general, I wear what I want. When I wear certain clothes, I feel a certain way. I dress to fit my mood, or the mood I wish to achieve. And for some reason, for as long as I have been alive, I have been drawn to girly clothes.

While for the most part, I would say that I am pretty girly, I act like a tomboy from time to time. I played softball for about 13 year, not a girly sport at all. When I was growing up I had guy friends that I would play with~ We would go fishing, play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, kick the can, and other outdoor games. I remember one time that I was out playing by the lake near my house with a guy friend, fell, got covered in mud, thought it was funny and proceeded to get more muddy on purpose. Mom about died when I came home covered in the delightful southern red clay that NEVER comes out of clothes.

I’ve never had any problems with getting dirty. My cousin, sister, and myself while out in Montana got into cow shit fights. We would take sticks and fling cow patties, most were dried, at each other. I have gone splunking, trecked through mud caves, swam in the freezing cold pools of water in the caves. I dipped for awhile, not very lady-like at all.  I used to drive a big truck and would take it off-roading. I do enjoy a nice cigar every now and then. And I have a fondness for a nice single malt whisky. I like it neat. When I found out I got an interview to the pharmacy school of my choice, Johnny Walker Gold Label was used to celebrate. And when I found out I was accepted to that pharmacy school, obviously I celebrated with Johnny Walker Blue Label (HEAVEN!!!!) 😀

Personally, I think that I am a great combination of the two. But I mean, it is possible that my opinion is slightly biased…
