On Skirts and Friends

On occasion I have the idea that I want to wear a skirt to church. So today I did. Generally I don't really wear skirts all that often because I find them somewhat impractical to do anything in. I guess I feel like I actually have to act a little more like a responsible adult and a little less like a 16 year old or something. It's also for that reason I'm not a fan of wearing heels. You can't do anything in them...things such as running to catch the bus or playing a soccer/ultimate frisbee/other sports. I quote, "Heels are a man's invention to prevent females from running away." I think it's from She's the Man and it's probably not exact but anyway. But today when it was sunshiny and nice outside I decided to wear a skirt. Which through all my previously stated reasons about why I don't like wearing skirts all that often, I actually don't mind wearing skirts-slightly ironically for the opposite of why I don't like wearing them (i.e. skirts make me feel more like a girl and less like a tomboy, etc.)

The other part of my day consisted of hanging out in Kensington with my friend Emily. As she's disappearing to camp for the rest of the summer it was good to hang out with her for a couple hours and do some fantastic window shopping. I also got to know one of the guys at my church a bit better. Reasons why I like transit...you can talk to people. So great. So ya. Other than that my life usually consists of work and recently researching and paper writing. Oh and did I mention that I'm currently writing this post outside...just because it is that nice out and there are surprisingly few mosquitoes about. So great.

Oh ya. I got to see my family last weekend. That made me happy. I wasn't really anticipating on seeing them until sometime in August. So I was happy to see them now including my sister and niece who is growing like a weed. So cute though.

So have a good week and watch out for zebras!
