A girly girl. That I most certainly am not.
Skirts and dresses? Nightmare. I live in jeans and a hoodie. My brother's getting married in six weeks, and I need to buy a dress for his wedding. Nightmare. I can't deal with dresses.
Part of that is body issues, because I don't like my legs, but for the most part it's just dislike of dresses and skirts.
As well as that, I don't like skinny jeans, revealing tops, frills, pretty much anything girly. I wear jeans, normal dark coloured jeans, occasionally with embroidery on the pockets, and a t-shirt, normally with a funny or cute picture or saying. Over that I'll wear a hoody, or possibly a zipped top, normally in a bright colour, although I do have a few navy or black. My absolute favourite at the moment is my band hoodie, which has my band's crest
embroidered on it. Amazing. =)
Shoes. I will admit, I love shoes. Although, not in the traditional girl sense. I can't wear heels. Especially not on a night out.
After all, I fell down the stairs in trainers last night. Although that might have been the tequila.
But I fell down the stairs last week when I was stone cold sober.
So, yeah, can't wear heels.
They'd be terribly helpful though, considering my height deficit!
I do love shoes though. Trainers, sneakers, runners, whatever you care to call them. I have a problem in that I buy too many. I currently own seven pairs. My favourites, and newest shoes, are these, which I bought when I was in New York. You have to admit, they're pretty amazing.
As well as those trainers, I also adore these
and these
God, I love buying trainers.
Still, no heels, sure as hell not a girly girl. I don't even wear flats, I just wear trainers. Except at work, because I'm not allowed wear trainers. This makes me very sad. =(
As for make-up? Nail polish?
Don't even get me started. It's a nightmare.
The last time I wore make-up was my debs (like prom, but a bigger deal), and that was a horror in itself.
Add that to the fact that I was wearing a dress and you have nightmare town for me.
I have short hair, which I never do anything with bar brush it. Even when I had long hair, I only tied it up in a pony tail. I was never into the whole sparkly clips, curls, accessories, scrunchies thing.
So I'm not a girly girl. I don't do girly things. I don't have very many girl friends either (about one in ten are girls).
Yet I still *am* a girl, and no-one ever forgets that. I have a boyfriend, and my guy friends never forget that I'm a girl.
They don't treat me any differently because of it, although they won't get into any sort of horseplay with me. Yet it's still very definite that I'm a girl. I'm not a tomboy, because I don't like playing sport, getting dirty or any of that sort of thing, I'm just a girl.
So I wonder!
What makes a girl a girl?
What's the difference between a girly girl and a tomboy, and what's the median (me??!)?
Is it possible to be a girly girl and a tomboy at the same time?
What makes a girly girly a girly girl?
Just how many times have I written the word girl in these questions??
Which do you prefer? What kind of girl are you more likely to befriend, or try to date?

Tomboys all the way! I'd much rather wear something loose-fitting and comfortable than tight and revealing...and I hate being called 'less-feminine' because of my choice in clothing!
Hey, surprisingly you sound a lot like Bella from the series! I actually have only read the first book and seen the movie. I agree with you about Edward being controlling. Somehow he still seems dreamy maybe because she is so in charge of herself.
@Madoushi_Shoujo - In total agreement! I can't deal with tight clothes, they bug me. Also, not having pockets? A pet peeve of mine. Pockets are God's inventions!
@Freekissesforsale@datingish - I'm not sure if I can take that as a compliment or not, but I'm gonna say yes, and thanks!I think the level of dependance Bella has on Edward is what scares me. It'll be clearer after you read New Moon, but it's gotta be dangerous to put that much of yourself into one guy, even if he is you "true love".
i used 2 b a tomboy.. and transitioned into a boyish girl... which just means comfortable...and now i'm beginning to realize that i like my body, and i want to wear things that accentuate the good parts... but i'll still take sneakers over shoes anyday... and flats over shoes too... i don't like skirts still.. but i do like dresses on occasion... what makes girly girl girly girl? i guess it's being attracted to all the materials targeted towards females from skincare, cosmetics, hair, down to the pumps, slingbacks, shoes...
a girl is what she feels comfortable being...and though i assume the position ocassionally, i don't want or feel comfortable being that way all the time.. plus it hurts! tight clothing and painful shoes!
I didn't know you had a Xanga! Yay!
