I'm not your typical girl.

Not just me, but most of my friends just don't seem to fit the mold that we see so often in the media and just on the streets of suburbia. I was reading a blog about nail polish and whether or not dark colors would be okay to use during the summer months. A lot of people gave their input, and I realized that.. I must be a freak for not using nail polish!!

Okay, I did get my first (and only) manicure last year for Sadies, but that was probably the only time I intentionally allowed nail polish to touch my nails. Even during the manicure session, I worried as the first many chemical coatings were applied: would my nails be okay? Would the chemicals leech into my nails, and possibly even into my flesh?? But I wasn't always this way. As a child, my mom would apply some nail polish on my nails for me, and I thought it was all good fun. A few years later I also developed a nasty nail-biting habit. (Thankfully that went away once I got braces.) Nowadays I just feel like applying nail polish would be incredibly damaging. My nails are smooth and healthy-looking; I don't want to screw them over with icky polish!

(Before writing this post, I wondered if my fears were actually realistic. While looking for evidence, I found a site that discusses what to do to take care of your nails: http://www.nail-care-tips.com/nail-care.php)

I think my aversion to nail-decoration is related to how I dislike drawing/writing on my skin. A lot of people do this, guys and girls. I just never liked it.. What doesn't fit is the fact that I got my ears pierced in 4th grade. Aha..

Yep, this was a random (poorly-written) post.
