Dressing up and Dates

skirt n heels

Look! It's me wearing a skirt, tights, and heels. Amazing, eh? Well, most of you have probably already seen this picture. But I thought I'd use it to show that, yes... I have finally figured out a means of posting photos to my blog.

What about the rest of the title? What do you mean by dates? Well, I was offered the fruit version, pit and all, by a strange man in a fur hat on the train on sunday. But... In actuality, I had a date last Saturday and another coming up this Saturday. Same guy, second date. I'm all a-twitter. It's really weird though, for years I knew who the guys I was dating were looking at. I understood what they saw. Now, even with pictures and mirrors, I really have no clue. I cannot point to someone walking along and tell if I'm bigger or smaller than them. It is a very weird thing to be in a body that everyone else can see, but I still feel like I'm in some sorta chicken suit.

In other news. (I don't want to talk more about this whole dating thing because I'm very superstitious and I almost didn't say anything at all because I don't want to jinx it.) In other news... The pool was open yesterday and I swam, in heavenly bliss, for almost an hour. What was mildly awkward though was the rake thin string bean who shared my lane with me showed up in the shower room as I was rinsing my hair. It is weird how clothed you can feel with a swimsuit on, and how naked you can feel when you don't have it on and you're covered in soap. Yay communal showers! I do love the fact that unlike this time last year, I only need one towel to wrap-up in as I walk back to my locker.
