dressing up?

Thank you to Colleen at Fatgirl Femme for welcoming me to the blog world. Her mentioning my cuff links reminded me how much I really like to dress up. The only thing is that I will probably never have a job that is even remotely business casual. I'm in school and college is not known for giving you lots of time to interact with the world at large and dress up, your more likely to see girls in sweatpants than skirts. My major, technical theatre stuff, requires me to get dirty and build scenery or hang lights in a dusty grid or a bunch of other things. So Im mostly a jeans and a t-shirt with work boots. If I really want to dress up I were a polo or a dress shirt over a t-shirt, generally white or black and take off the nicer shirt for work.

Even for dates the lady and I don't get that dressed up, but by the end of the week were both so tired we generally vote for take out, cuddling and studying. I wish we would go on more dress-up dates, not only because I enjoy dressing up but because I like seeing her all dressed up. Even on her super casual Sundays she has on earrings and her hair done. But there is something about seeing her in a dress with stockings (which includes a garter belt) and shoes. She has a shoe thing, which is ok by me. Tons of adorable shoes. Its quite the contrast to my 1 pair of dress black shoes, 1 pair of dress brown shoes, a pair of tennis shoes, work boots, and sandals.

School?

So I'm a few weeks into school now and I'm starting to remember why every year I think I need to get back on ADD meds. Yes there are pros and cons, I know Ive been on them, been off them, on and off one more time. This year I'm going to need it. I don't even believe that I should always be on them, just enough so I can sit down and not spend 4 hours in the library and get very little accomplished. Not 4 hours worth hell probably not even 2 hours worth. Its getting old fast. My goal is by the end of this weekend be 2 days ahead on all of my syllabus, or at least that is the goal.

So between lots of internet access issues and getting settled into my new apartment my goal is to post semi-regularly. On that note Bitch magazine needs support or it will go under. If you havent read it its a magazine thats subtitle is feminsts responce to pop culture. It does a great job of short thought provoking essays and exploding myths.

packing 2.0 and other various thoughts

A tiny side thought on the Friday post; when do you bring up packing? Is it one of those late night post sex talks or one or those early morning while I make breakfast? I doubt its one of those out at a restaurant dinner talks. I feel like its a personal step that has a direct affect (and effect for that matter) on the lady and our relationship. I know she wont go screaming for the hills but I worry about how she will react. Partially because of her previous relationships mostly with males and its just one of those things that runs through my head as affecting the out come of this conversation.

oh and - I was impressed by Rachel Maddow tonight on her own show. She is truly bright.

oh and - I got this link from a friend who is obsesses with brightly colored tennis shoes and was delighted to see Rachel Maddow wearing them, my favorite part article would be she looks like Ira Glass from This American Life (who is also on my list of truly bright people.)

oh and - a house fly just committed suicide by flying into my ceiling fan.

Packing

now how many posts can have one title and get 2 completely different posts?
packing of course.

Well I'm unpacking things right now, things that haven't been touched all summer, trying to figure out were all my kitchen stuff goes. I'll probably manage to loose all of my forks.

But also packing, Ive been wanting to start packing for dates with the lady. Honestly its more for my self (as it should be.) Every once and awhile I go through examining every little thing about my self and my gender expression. Generally I am happy with what I see, much happier than 4 years ago when i was midway through high school and wearing womens clothes to make my family happy. Me in an adorable chunky knit pink sweater with a curve hugging skirt and heals? its a frightening thought let me tell you. People often wonder were this masculine part came from, I don't know but it kicked in full gear in middle school. Back to packing, I have a packing/fucking cock the amazing silky who is also highly regarded by Sinclair author of the Sugarbutch Chronicles. I had not already owned my silky or Mr. Bendy as babeland calls it, when I found her blog her writings probably would have convinced me to run out and by one. Still I have not packed for more than a few hours by my self. I'm thinking the silky is too bulky for packing in a inconspicuous manner. Packing with something more like soft pack not noticeable to anyone by myself , a drifting hand, or the lady. The soft pack also gives me a chance to strap-on a larger cock because silky is not silicone and not very girthy.

Now pack to unpacking.

Hair

It's been a popular subject and I would like to share my two cents. These two cents are also just a general statement and my preferences have been proven wrong many times.

A little about me –

- I have short hair, I’ve been thinking about getting something a little more short and spiky or fun but for about 2 years now (since I’ve been in college) I’ve had fairly short hair. Honestly my hair looks like Richie Cunningham on Happy Days. I had long hair until my junior year of high school when I cut a foot off, it was still chin length. My mother still picks at how I style my hair and suggests that I grow it out. There are moments when I miss a ponytail because it was the simplest thing that can always make you look pulled together if it’s done nicely. Now I have to use pomade everyday or I resort to a hat.

- My eyebrows are always shaped, but I get them done

- I normally shave my legs and pits, but honestly this summer I didn’t, I’m curious to see what my girlfriend says when I see her when I’m back at school. I liking not shaving. I haven’t worn shorts or a tank top since I have stopped shaving, I’m curious to see how that plays if I have the guts to do it. I trim my pubic hair.

What I’m attracted to

- I really enjoy long hair, but I feel that a bob or something cute and short can be just a beautiful

- Shaving, I really don’t care as much as long as your happy, if your happy you are more confident and confidence is sexy. Freshly shaved legs are silky and smooth and I admit, a turn on.
