I think I've lost the right to my "honorary man" card. I need to get over this obsession with shoes and articles of clothing with an internal structure of their own. Yes, I've admitted before that I would live in corsets if I could, but I caught myself actually considering the logistics of it a few days ago.

And then yesterday, I bought these shoes. No, I didn't need them (though I do need a pair of sneaker-y things). Yes, they were on sale, and I used the gift card my Secret Santa (from work) toward them, so they only cost me about $18 of real money. And I did this while on the phone with [livejournal.com profile] kashmir_ki_kali, and she can vouch for the sheer girlyness I was exhibiting at the time.

I think this counteracts my proficiency with power tools (cutting steel is fun! nail guns are just so cool!), my gamer tendencies, my ridiculously furry legs. (My hair is value neutral; it's long, but I don't get girly about it.) I'm ashamed of myself.

On the other hand, I'm listening to this song, and my brain immediately labels Javert Lawful Good and Valjean Chaotic Neutral. So, apparently, I'm a girly geek (geeky girl?). Bah.

Yeah, she's being truthful. You wouldn't have recognized her had you heard her. :D

Heh. I bought a pair of short boots yesterday, too. Meant to get sneakers as well, but realized that the tall boots were the only ones I had and...yeah.

You could be worse. I took at least 10 pairs of dress shoes to college last year *facepalm*

Darling, you make me look sane. I took a total of maybe four pairs to school.
