take a chill pill / 3 questions/ sequin update

[oiran]

I am finding my own attitude very ugly these last couple of days. I have such a greedy skull, I'm never satisfied, and then I sulk. Of course, it's in good portion due to hormones, but I can't discount that I'm not feeling very pretty on the inside lately as a completely separate issue.

any 3 questions: Anyone want to ask me anything? Or, rather, three anythings? I'm in a tell-all mood... And I think you're supposed to ask people to do the same, but I won't hold you to it.

I finished Kicky's skirt. It's about an inch too big in the waist, which means I have to pick everything out again, at least at the waist. I think the weight of the fabric pulled it out a bit. Well, now I know for next time I sew a sequin mermaid-ish skirt with a train and detachable double ruffle. However, she's going to go ahead and wear it as-is to the photo shoot next week. At that time, I hope to have photos to show everyone how fabulous my skillz are. I'm really proud of this. I know it's got incredibly limited utility, but it's just damn cool in its little category. And, I made it. I hadn't made anything in about two years, and all of those were fat clothes, for me, and not shiny or pretty. Once I've got this project out of the way, I can work on the jacket for myself that I've got all planned out.

I get fed up with people and their...peopley bullshit pretty quickly. The entire political climate of Seattle lesbianism was just fucking irritating. I was always too girly, and clearly seen as untrustworthy and tainted. Also, I like girls to look like girls, not faux-men, and I could never find those women except when they were already paired up.

Nothing can make me dislike a man quicker than him assuming that I'm feigning interests to lure him in. I take my interest in a given girl much more seriously than my interest in a guy; it usually has a basis beyond 'ooh, shiny!' I'm quite sexist. I tend to think of boys as toys or tools, and women as people.

If I liked girls, that would be the type I'd like. The ones who look like girls, I mean.
