I love a list. I love reading blogs which have all the lists. I am basically always on Twitter, checking out links to lists. I love a Buzzfeed list of god knows what some person thought would be fun to write about that day. I always read Cosmo articles, with lists. You see where this is going, right?
However, most of the time I disagree with the content of these lists when it comes to listing what makes a girl tick - what '25 Things A Girl Does Every Month', '11 Things A Girl Wants a Guy to Say' '149 Ways A Girl Will Let You Know She Likes You', '10 Signs You're A Girl' and so on...and I thought I'd write my own list, as half of the stuff I read does.not.apply.
10 THINGS I'M TOLD I SHOULD LIKE BUT I DON'T:
1. Not all girls like to eat chocolate and cry when it's their period. I rarely eat chocolate as it is but you will not find me curled up watching The Notebook with a king size bar of Galaxy, tears a'rolling down my face. Nuh uh.
2. Which brings me on to chick flicks. Don't get me wrong, I like a good girlie film - I'm talking Cruel Intentions, Mean Girls, Girl, Interrupted, 10 Things I Hate About You, Romeo+Juliet (Baz's version), Pitch Perfect etc - but please do not float the idea of watching The Notebook, Magic Mike, Dear John, or basically anything under the 'Romance' section on Netflix...
3. I don't really like buying shoes or handbags - yes, I have a few of each item, but they are not something I look at, covet or aspire to collect. Soz.
4. Eyebrows - shape 'em, fine; shade 'em, nice; but get me to go to a Benefit Brow Bar to have them made 3 sizes bigger? Are you kidding me, have you SEEN their eyebrows?!
5. Reality TV... Knowing who people from TOWIE, Geordie Shore, The Valley and Love Island are. Not a clue.
6. Having squads. Crews. Cliques. Nope. A handful of lovely friends you see on a regular basis, a few you hook up with for the important stuff, even more that you have to plan 3 months in advance to see and most whose lives are updated via means of social media (and who you struggle to remember are as they've all got married and changed their surnames...'Sarah WHO?!') is probably more like it.
7. Knowing exactly what wedding you want because you've "dreamed of this day since you were a little girl"...we really all haven't done that. If the time comes, I'll head to ruffled.com and see what's up in the DIY section...
8. Sinking away those feelings or relaxing by having a long lazy bath... I just get dizzy, bored, hot and I can hear my heartbeat which I really hate. Hot showers forever.
9. Sparkly stuff. NOPE. Not even a diamond. Can I have that gold geometric thing instead, please?
10. Disney and/or The Royal Family. We do not all aspire to be like princesses or cartoon Princesses or love them for nostalgias sake. Buzzfeed, I'm looking at you...
;)
