Quick and dirty (ahaha get your mind out of the gutter) thoughts about my last angry feminazi rant!

First off, I loved reading everybody's comments! And instead of responding to each one individually and repeating myself over and over, I thought I'd just take the time to post and say HEY. FIST BUMP. *TAPS*

A bunch of people had bunches to say on clothing things! And here are my rambly thoughts on them! It is AWESOME if you like skirts and heels. It is AWESOME if you prefer jeans and sneaks. It is EVEN MORE AWESOME if you like jeans and heels. Or skirts and sneaks! Or perhaps all at the same time! (I will give you funny looks, but will not think lesser of you for that. Well, maybe.)

The point is, everybody (not just the lady folks!) should be permitted to wear whatever the hell we want to. We all have different days. We have the days where we want to be slouchy and comfortable. We have the days where we want to be professional. We have the days where we want to show off some new shoes. We have the days where we want to turn heads. We have the days where fuck, we didn't get enough sleep and just threw something on because we are sick or we are tired or we are hung-the-fuck-over and just can't be arsed to give a shit. We all have our different days, some more than others. And we should be able to wear what we want! (Within reason, of course.)

Even the ladies who wear the sexy stuff. Stuff that they, you know, probably wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) wear to work. If they want attention, that's their M.O.. If they want a particular type of attention - you know, the type of a sexual nature - then that is okay. And here is the thing: It is okay for ladies to like sex! Really! It is okay for ladies to want to hook up! Different strokes for different folks, after all.

Me personally, I've never been the type of person who wanted to hook up, nor am I remotely promiscuous, and I have a difficult time wrapping my head around the idea of having multiple partners, because... I don't know, yeek, it is just not something that works for me. For other people, men and women included, it does. And that's okay. I'm not having sex with them, and I'm not likely to get involved with them. I might be friends with a few of them and make "O_o" faces at their sexual escapades should they choose to share such sundry items with me (to which I might go AGH STOP NO MORE), and as long as the people involved aren't getting hurt then, you know, more power to them.

That is my spiel! tl;dr, flaunt it if you got it and you want to, be it jeans or skirts or heels or sneakers or certain physical attributes you are very proud of. Or not, if you don't want to! Being a sexual person isn't necessarily a bad thing! Neither is being a virgin. Neither is being monogamous! Neither is being, you know, kind of curious about things and willing to experiment. As long as you are happy and not hurting anyone, of course.

I have not posted about my PpG efforts in awhile. Um, I finally finished up Brick's character dissection this AM! (Ugh, I think? I may go back and add, oh shit, whatever, FAH.) I keep getting distracted by RL, and songs that I hear and think "OH THAT TOTES FITS BOOMER/BLOSSOM/BUBBLES/THIS CRACK SCENE IN MY HEAD THAT WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET WRITTEN." Anyway, hopefully I'll finish it this week and get it posted the next. Then I will... either continue the "Something" series (yeah, it's a series now) or jump onto TEF ch10a. Damn I have a lot on my to do list. UGH.

See, the thing about me and heels is that being disabled I *honestly can't wear them at all* :(. So, holding them up as a sex symbol that all real girls wear when they want to feel better about themselves has always..well, made me feel awful to be honest. Like, less of a person and a girl all rolled into one...It is the main reason I don't keep up on fashion (shoes style most of all), seeing what I am never able to wear sort of worshipped (as shoes go)

It does kind of suck that socially, heels represent the Ultimate Essence of Femininity, but remember that there are awesome flats (http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=&id=040029&catId=SHOES-FLATS&pushId=SHOES-FLATS&popId=SHOESBAGS&sortProperties=&navCount=25&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=041&colorName=NAVY&isSubcategory=&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=) and sneakers (http://www.endless.com/ASGI-Womens-Jet-Sneaker/dp/B000UO9VHO/ref=sr_1_25/?cAsin=B000UO9PCK&fromPage=search&qid=1268331788477&sr=1-25&asins=B002EZZOZK,B002C4KAPW,B001VH7U68,B0028QFMZ2,B002EZZSQA,B002PDOBXM,B001H0FBPG,B001VH8ELS,B002EZZSKG,B0031RGZQW,B001RCTFRY,B001RCTFP6,B002C4K2SC,B000Q97TNQ,B0031RGZJE,B002VM2CZ6,B00263JIO8,B00260HO5Q,B001TODUPS,B001A6OIE2,B000I4P7QA,B0026S5842,B002EZZOUU,B001PBCOL6,B000UO9PCK,B002C4JW9C,B000WBGYY8,B001O5CS3C,B001OW72M2,B0016MR6NU,B002C4KDQS,B002C4K0FC,B002EZZREI,B002E19XW4,B0026S5JBO,B001XCX9XE,B002OSWPBI,B002EZZRIY,B000EIKFDK,B0031RHJM6,B001VKXF96,B001XCXF92,B001VH815C,B001W02JVK,B002C4K4GW,B0031RH6FG,B002G9AKYE,B000WBCYO2,B002K6DKAO,B001KBZIJ6,B002GJUCAQ,B002PDOBBY,B001ULDOKQ,B000F5WKEY,B002C4K4YO,B001TOE264,B001IDZBVG,B001VKXESI,B002GHCN78,B001TODSOG,B001KBZH2E,B001CEG6YC,B002PMW1LC,B001VH7UIG,B001HN5IGU,B001D0XQSO,B0027VSW4Q,B000EIJI9W,B001G609YO,B002EZZNMY,B001NXDN3O,B002DYJEUS,B002C4KEEE,B002EZZRU2,B001B6EDK0,B0027VSYGW,B002UHK30S,B0025VLT1G,B002C4JVN4,B001HZYKOE,B001VH7QH6,B001SASABW,B001W02KKA,B001H0FBY2,B0031RH5FM,B002C4KAVG,B001VH7HQG,B002OSWNKG,B002WARHB6,B0026SH3NQ,B002B9LKRA,B000OUUCLS,B001LHYSVI,B000OUW31A,B000W0CZZ6,B002LH4TPM,B002LH4UDI,B002EZZVMQ,B001ULDOAG,B002OSWNGU&asinTitle=ASGI%20Jet%20Sneaker&contextTitle=search%20results&page=2&size=100&page=2&dept=242289011&node=242289011&nodes=242289011&sort=shoesbrowserel2) and bo (http://www.zappos.com/burberry-short-weatherboots-black)ots (http://www.zappos.com/naughty-monkey-cool-for-school-chocolate) to be found as well, and they can look just as feminine as heels :)
