Does anyone ever feel weirded out when others say to you, "If only there was a male/female version of you!" Now granted this usually comes in the form of a borderline flirtatious/complimentary comment. But either way- why associate a gender with my characteristics at all? To generate comfort because of biological differences? To separate fact from fantasy? I guess I've never really been a fan of speculated phrasing. It seems so limiting, demeaning, and kind of a buzz kill. Maybe I'm missing something. To which I'll take the compliment and walk away.
EDIT: Oops. Forgot to mention that I spent four hours cleaning out and scrubbing clean our apartment which was satisfying. I still wish I had spent more time doing some stretching exercises and getting a minor work-out done at the gym, but since I have guests coming over tomorrow afternoon (some of them new visitors for the very first time), I felt absolutely compelled to "purify" and "cleanse" our entire home. o_o
EDIT 2: I've had a scratchy throat for the past 2 days and it has been driving me up the walls. Even after taking plenty of vitamins, water, and anti-septic throat spray it's still being a banshee of an obstacle this whole entire week.
