When it comes to football, the fabulous NFL, we share 100%. We take turns picking up the beer, the pizza, the munchies, whatever. We share hollering for our favorites and boo-ing the rest. We groan together at bad referee calls and high-five whenever the Bills score.
where were you when i was looking for a woman? all except for being a bills fan (bleh!), i wish...
rafe, you so lucked out, you will have to be reminded of it at all opportunities. 97% of the rest of us have not what you do. relish her, savor her, appreciate her, dammit! you have a girl that likes football!!!
(for K's edification: T was the poor bastard I got food poisoning from Hooters before visiting, and instead of being able to have a good time with him and Ruhiel, instead spent two days dead on their couch. . . watching the sabres lose Game 7 to the ^#$^# Penguins on Kasparitis' OT goal against Hasek)
would this be a bad time to mention she likes cooking and sex, too? *g*
I'll proudly step up the the Metrosectional (or whateverthefuck) plate. I'll overhaul a toilet, and look damn spiffy doing it in a skirt if the fancy hits (gawd, how many fucking toilets did I fix at Lump's house??? *g*). I'm not a sports fan. I can figure out what goes with what clothing-wise. I know shoes, but I also know power tools (go ahead, insert innuendo as necessary there). Who knows, maybe I'm just that sensitive artist from the King Missile song :)
Of course the media is going to focus on the extremes like appearance, things labeled as otherwise "girly" in order to make up for the general public's lack of perception for subtlty. The fact is, be it manly or girly or some fuzzy pink/blue/gray haze in between, who cares?
As for decorating...I'm more in line with the Christopher Lloyd (vs. Lowell) angle...of course I'm just twisted like that. Oh well, enough out of me, I have to smack the Grrl for wearing my skirt to work again :P
*hugs* now carry yer carcass out to Cali for more ink :P
I just followed your BF's comments to this entry. It is very well written & I enjoyed reading it. It appears that you prefer traditional, well-established gender roles. Nothing wrong with that at all.
The "Real Man" concept is false, and frankly, offensive... as if the only men who were worthy of being deemed "Real" are those who happen to fall in line with your own expectations of what they should be. Heaven forbid if I tried to define what a "Real Woman" was in today's rapidly-evolving culture. Is it even possible?
This isn't a competition. You like what you like, and I applaud you for knowing what that is. I only hope that you understand that there are others, both male and female alike, who are quite happy in that "blurry wasteland" where the traditional roles do not apply. They are also equally "Real". :)

Before I forget to do so, thank you for taking a moment to comment in my journal - i don't often get visitors! I also appreciate your criticism and I'd just like to perhaps add a bit to my "rant", as it were, and please be tolerant of my parenthetical asides - i'm very into parenthesis of late!! hee

What i can't stand are the frou-frou boys who mince around like they're in a real-life dolce and gabbana/versace ad, adrogenous to a point where they're just not attractive as either gender, hawking products that only a complete narcissist would bother indulging in. its one thing to look the part on occasion, its another to invest $1,000s in being that way to meet a perceived societal standard of non-testosterone-endowded

You two are just plain wrong. I do enjoy it.
Does that mean he'd install a Mr. Fusion in every kitchen?
