What The *beep* Is Ladylike

i absolutely loved Storm Large's original song just now. It's called "What The What Is Ladylike"(originally "What The Fuck Is Ladylike"). i thought it was an awesome song. i think she wrote that because she's probably had many people tell her that she's not ladylike enough. ah, the familiarity.

actually, what is ladylike? not stuffing food down your throat in public even if you're hungry? not opening your mouth too wide? be all graceful and gentle when you talk? covering your mouth when you laugh? or not daring to laugh out loud? come on. the whole point of laughing is to relax and let go. that's where the term "burst out laughing" or a more affectionate term "lol" comes from, isnt it? you chat with someone on msn and you go "LOL" all the time. AND the moment you go out with that person(especially if he's a guy), you "chuckle". wow. that must have cost you alot of internal injuries.

ladies shouldnt be afraid to laugh...out loud. i mean, OF COURSE, if you are at some fancy restaurant and you're afraid of disturbing others, that i get. but elsewhere, it's actually not that bad to LAUGH without covering your mouth(unless you have a broccoli stuck between your teeth. then that's nothing to do with being ladylike of not. that's a whole other level).

another thing i dont get. that it's not "ladylike" to whistle out loud. now what is that? so a guy can whistle(or even wolf-whistle) anything he wants but a girl cant even whistle her favourite song? i've been told by many people before that girls shouldnt do that in public. "it's un-ladylike." yea, well, whoever said that whistling is a guy's right? i mean, it's so hard to have a favourite tune in your head that wont go away, and there's the huge urge to sing it out but because you dont intend to embarrass yourself with your weak singing, you whistle out the tune. and then these peopleolder ladiesaunties tell you it's "un-ladylike". gee. it makes me wonder.

and what's this about not eating chicken wings in front of guys just because they(ladies) have to use their hands and also to chew, peel and munch(or whatsoever you do with wings) the chicken and they're afraid of leaving behind not-very-pretty images? now that's just being stupid. because they'll only lose out when the guys have all the chicken wings while these ladies try to prevent themselves from salivating. tsk tsk.

i guess this might be a procastination of some kind and some guys might just be turned off by this. but hey, no offence to anyone. this is just my opinion- as someone who's been told 5,415,310,981 times that i'm not ladylike enough. i'm not saying that ladies should do everything that guys do(like shaving your underarms would be uh...better. although, IF YOU REFUSE TO, no one can uh,*cough*stop you*cough*) but it wouldnt be that bad to do certain things without having someone bark at your ear that "it's not right for a girl". okay i'll admit it, i have an absolutely annoying laughter. absolutely annoying. but i still have to laugh, dont i? *snort* i goofy-dance in public sometimes. "oh my, clowns like you belong in the circus." WRONG, you damn critics. i belong to The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

on to the job thing. i took off my black nail-polish last thursday for the interview just in case it's not allowed(not because it's un-ladylike) and the lady told me that i'd be told where to report on working day(today). cool. but when i called the guy up on monday, he said he'd put me on stand-by instead and he'd call me if they needed help. uncool. and he hasnt called me up yet.

i'm painting my black nail-polish back on.
