Day 15: Gay Day

Today our task was to be gay. Or straight if you're gay, but for me it would be gay. Anyways...so, I thought if I was really going to get into it I would wear something a little more masculine than normal, maybe not wear any makeup, and just look a lot less feminine than I usually do. That was my first goal. At 6:30 in the morning when I'm getting dressed however, I'm not thinking of today's task. So of course, this morning I totally forgot about being gay...and I wore a "little black dress" with a pink cardigan and metallic flats. That's even more feminine than I usually dress, so not only did I take a step backwards, I took like...5 backwards. Oh well, once I remembered my task for the day I just thought I would make up for it in my actions.

So, in Calc I was looking at girls and, trying to see them...in that way. And, it was just really weird and I couldn't even do it. I'm not saying I have anything against gay people, I personally just could not look at another woman in a romantic kind of way without feeling totally repulsed, because...I'm just not attracted to people of my same gender. Believe me, I tried, and, it was just...bad. I didn't even get as far as like, flirting or anything, and to be honest I really didn't think I would because I just could not bring myself to do that when I'm not even attracted to them. And it would just be weird. I mean...just thinking about being gay is one thing, but actually BEING gay is another. I wonder how far some people have taken this one. Or I wonder what bisexual people would do. That would be like a day off for them I guess because it would be like any other day...

I like how we both ended up stopping this one.
what black dress?
and what metallic flats?
because that sounds like such a cute outfit..
today I wore a dress as well- the red one I made. Have you seen that yet? it turned out really nicely, especially after I altered it to fit me pretty much perfectly.
