There are lots of things in your list that I find myself nodding along to (like loving skirts, but only if they have pockets, and not wearing makeup, and knowing more men than women and so on).

I've never learned to wear makeup. I'm beginning to think I will never bother though maybe vanity will hit me at some point. But mostly it strikes me as a way to waste lots of minutes each day, and I already have lots of ways to do that.

I was at a wedding in a silk dress on Saturday, and at one point I was playing catch, in the VAST FIELD where the reception took place, with a young child who had me haring around and leaping and stretching and reaching and so on. I felt almost as though I was in drag, because my dress was so unsuited to what I was doing. At least I wasn't in heels though, like 90% of the women. I'd have broken an ankle.
