Sometimes I think the most ungirly thing about me is that I don't really don't like crafts. I just learn enough about a craft to know how it is done and then I move on to something else.
Just sometimes I find myself in a situation where everyone talks about how they should do something handmade and I just wonder why. I mean, I can buy an item that is a lot like that for cheaper than the parts and wouldn't have to invest time in it.
Actually, maybe it is un-girly to point out that fact.
I know. I think as much as my parents raised me to be independant and confident in my ability to do things as well as anyone else, I still have this idea of womanhood as my mother, who I am different from in many ways.
