You may read that title and think I am trying to say that I am a "naughty" girl.
That is not the case.
What I mean to say is....there are things that I like/do that do not correlate with the picture of what a 'proper' girl should be like.
For example:
When I run, I sweat. Not only do I sweat - my face turns blotchy and dark red.
When I cry, I do the 'ugly' cry. Sobbing, coughing, runny nose. The whoooole shabang.
I have the appetite of three fully grown men, and sometimes I appease that appetite without feeling guilty.
Furthermore:
I like to shoot guns.
Hunting animals (for food) does not make me cry.
I enjoy video games.
I like the dirt.
I like to camp.
I like to 4 wheel.
I like to snow mobile.
I like to tell inappropriate jokes.
I like to smell like a campfire.
I like fast cars.
I like to hike (not 3 mile day hikes....more like 10 miles a day for 3-4 days).
I don't cry when I fall on a snowboard or off of a horse.
I don't mind my bruises or scars.
I don't like to wear make up every day.
I like to wear jeans.
I only get my hair looked at by a professional once a year.
I bite my nails.
I like to build things (I've even helped rebuild a road).
On some level, I feel like I should get in trouble for loving all these things. Shouldn't my list of things I enjoy be made primarily of things such as "I like to sew" or "I like to paint"...?
I love to do those things, too....but I really love being outside and getting dirty. I'd choose stacking hay over painting nails any day.
For visual examples of reasons why I definitely cannot be defined as dainty (despite the odd conflict it causes within me) please see the following images :)
