scarily enough, when i was a kid my dad used to being home "focus on the family" and books by this Dobson guy.
i'd like to adapt his guidelines to my life then:
I refused to wear a dress/skirt till i was 13
I had lego and mechano and he-man toys and only liked Ken and not Barbie (except for Barbies car, that was cool!)
I have a sporting ability thats not exactly feminine (i'm yet to find a male friend who can throw further than me!) and when i wasn't climbing up trees I used to spend my time running after footballs, cricket balls, rugby balls etc - if you can kick or hit it, i will!
I ONLY spent time with boys when i was a kid - girls were annoying
I liked "rough and tumble" games that apparently should only be for guys and i WISH my dad would play catch with me.
and so on and so forth, you get the point.
so i guess i'm either a straight guy (nope) or i should be a raging lesbian right?
WRONG!!
i like skirts and high heels and make up and can be particularly feminine and graceful when i want/need to be.
yes, i'm still not one of those girls who likes to spend 2 hours doing her nails and most of the time i dont really give a flying toss about whether my makeup is as perfectly applied as it was when i first put it on in the day.
so i'm not the girliest of girls but personally thats a quality i like about myself - time is far better spent drinking beer and playing playstation with your friends than it is doing your hair!
and, most importantly, I REALLY like men...
scarily enough, because i knew my dad was familiar with focus and James Dobson, i casually mentioned it to him and my mom later today... he thinks he agrees with them
sometimes i wonder about my family
