Oh wait....
Well, I HATE the mall at Xmas because it's way too stressfull. I'd rather spend a Saturday in Dec. with my PC hacking monsters to bits.
As a little girl, I played with dolls 'n' stuff, but I was always a tom boy too. It wasn't till I started hitting puberty around 12-13 that more of my feminine side came out (like wearing makeup and actually styling my hair instead or throwing on a baseball cap), but I still played football, and watched action movies, AND played D&D w/ the guys.
I'm still a tomboy... I don't watch "chick flicks", I love comic book, and RPGs,... but I'm still really into makeup, and I do some arts and crafts (no scrapbooking... it looks like too much of a hassle), and I have a "mom" gene. Actually, when I think about it, I think when it comes to things (like nail polish and other cosmetics, stuffed animals, stuff with my fav. flower the pansy on them, and my apt decor), the majority is feminine, but the things I like to actively DO (the books I read, the movies and TV shows I watch, playing RPGs and computer games), most of that is more the guyish type of stuff. There's the certain thing here & there that goes against this, but for the most part, that's the way I am... and as usual, like most of things I am, I'm not sure if it makes any sense.
