Another of Those Short Random Possibly Annoying Posts

There was a dryer sheet in my laundry. I Don't Use dryer sheets: I'd rather not use dryers, I just don't have access to a clothes line in the dorm, and it annoys me enough as is, without dryer sheets materializing in my laundry.

Also, I wore Mom's old brown dress to dinner, since it was between my shower and having to change for the swing performance, and people kept telling me I look like a princess, and very pretty, and that's just odd. After all, this is the dress Mom stopped wearing to work because the old people there (she works 3 days a week at a nursing home) kept thinking she was a nun. I'm confused. Yes, it has a pretty sun-like thing on it, and darker brown embroidery and a ruffle at the bottom- but it's just an old dress. I wore it because it was Comfortable. Not to say that the attention wasn't very flattering and appreciated (it was), but- I just don't quite get it.

Anyways, I thought princesses were fine boned and had little feet. Except I feel like there's a children's story out there about a princess who had big feet. Any ideas? And then there's Once Upon A Mattress...

As one of said complimenters, I don't think you should feel oddly! True, the dress was a curious thing, but it really flattered your figure. Not so many of us wear dresses/ "feminine" things anymore, and you looked so calm with your shawl... Like an Earth Goddess figure.

Thank you. I felt oddly mostly because it was so unexpected: I just threw it on because it looked comfortable, and I got all these lovely compliments- it was sort of surreal. Very sweet, but surreal.

You know- the dress and the shawl are just comforting and calming articles of clothing- maybe because they both used to be my mom's, and she's so capable? I don't know, but they're comfortable, and I just am not worrying about how I look in them- maybe that's what people were seeing?

You ARE a princess!

Also, I think Maya is a perfect name for a princess. Ahhh, princess Maya. And she dances, too!

Nimble and pretty and calm = princessey.

There is definitely a Queen Maya in Buddhist scriptures. Anyway, you looked really pretty. And you were wonderful on stage. :)

Sheesh. Sorry I missed it.

I guess all I have to add is that if you qualify as a large-footed Maya, I've never noticed.

[debka-notion.livejournal.com]

Not really large-footed, just not particularly delicate and small-footed.

I can't comment on the dress, but I saw you at Chums--aah, magnificent! :) Thanks for the entertainment.

Hmmm, you'll have to show it to me at some point.

Princesses

Tsk tsk... princess stereotyping... that's what got the princess & the pea family in such a mess fpr years.
Princesses actually have big feet, inherited from their fathers, whose feet were about a foot long on average.

Eh, it was still a compliment, and I like those.
