Today is a girly sort of day for me. The problem is, I suppose is that I feel so shameful for feeling girly. I was born female, but I have disowned that part of me. It has caused so much shame and confusion as it stands, and for me to feel girly (damn Disney princesses) is like I have no right. Like no longer being friends with someone and yet

In my opinion, .... how to phrase this? I have been away from the internets long enough that I kinda suck at posting without letting my droll sense of humor and tone misinterpret words for me. Atleast I feel that way. Anyways... girliness

I was on Tumblr (all day everyday) and saw some Disney princess photos. I was thinking about how I wanted to be one, longing to be pretty like them when I never was which was another reason why I disowned the female of me. I guess I wanted to be woo'd. Not resued or anything like that, just sought after or something.

I don't think that wanting to be woo'd or sought after is a purely girly trait. I think (most) every human wants to be wanted. (Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head..."I want you to want me, I need you to need me, I'd love for you to love me...")
Though the frilly dresses and long lashes and beautiful sing-songy voices...yeah, I could see the yearning for that.
Which disney princess did you want to be?
I've always identified with Belle, which my husband poked fun at the last time (only time!) it ever came up. He said it was because she's so bookish and "smart" that I felt the kinship. Boys also have disney fantasies... Doug said he wanted to be Aladdin...poor diamond in the rough that ends up getting the girl and becoming rich because of it... Heh, yeah, that one hasn't been realized. ;)

You know, I have never been on Tumblr. And before when I had time to be on the internets. Slow to the game!

Be glad that you aren't on Tumblr. It eats the soul if you're really invested in a TV show or movie. I identified with the Beast more than with a Disney Princess, mainly because I didn't look or feel like a Jasmine or an Ariel or whoever. Maybe Mulan, but she isn't a princess, so...

Thank you for commenting. I remember when I worked at McDonald's we had to switch to saying doll or truck (or whatever the toys were) instead of girl toy and boy toy and more than once per hour it seemed, a little boy wanted a doll and a girl wanted a truck. I played in the mud as a kid with my little sister, who has grown up to be a feminine person. i don't know.
