look! i can be girly

aren't they pretty?!?!?! <girly shriek>

so yesterday i went and got my nails did.  it's been about three years since i had acrylic nails done.  i used to get them pretty regularly back when i was in college, but due to money and the fact that most of my jobs involved working outside in conditions that would destroy any and all manicures within a ten mile radius, i thought it best to lay off the nails for a while.  this also gave my nails time to get normal again, since long term use of acrylic tips will pretty much kill your natural nails.  but, in a moment of girly weakness, i caved in.  there may or may not have been an ulterior motivation for this, but that is neither here nor there (i.e. i'm not allowed to talk about it).  but it was mostly the girly weakness.  and omg do they look pretty!  all super cute and pink and cute and pink and cute and pink.  yeah, pink is my weakness.  i used to hate it when i was a kid, but now i've come to terms with it.  i even have pink earrings, pink ends for my industrial, a few pink tops, sexy pink undies (of course), and pink converse shoes.  i also have this crazy neon pink bra that is pretty awesome.  imagine that barbie decided to come out with a lingerie line.  it looks like that.  but what can i say?  sometimes the gamer in me  gets fed up with people assuming that i'm a guy and feels the need to reassert that fact that i carry that double x on my chromosomes.  and that i just want to feel pretty.  and then the rocker side of me starts to scream "wtf are you doing? there is too much estrogen here now!  quick, give me skulls and cross bones and angry music! STAT!" 

gloria, doesn't this remind you of prom?

ok, that's better now.  balance has been restored.
