No. Not really. Infact half the 'islamic' shalwar kameezes here that the women here have more skin showing than my frumpy clothes. :'D And their dupatta/scarf is a mere thread fluttering from their necks. XD
No one's given me much trouble here, but back in college, where out hostel/dormitories were situated in the slums of Lahore, I did get harassed a lot. But nothing that one couldn't ignore and avoid by having the most scarily unpleasant expression on one's face.

That's pretty cool! I know hardly anything about breeds of dogs -- I know there's multiple breeds of terrier and all, so what kind? (I'll look it up.) It's nice to see that nobody gives you much hassle. So you went to college? What are schools like out your way? Out here, the teachers are rather incompetent and just looking to pick up a quick paycheck; their methods and lessons are unnecessarily difficult to comprehend (even for someone as talented in English as I) so many are left scratching their heads. At the end of it all, I ended up going to a special school to get a GED (a highschool equivalency certificate) and succeeded; the teachers there were nice, experienced and quite proficient in teaching, so learning from them was a snap!  I'm nervous about college, however; I'm afraid of getting the same treatment that I had, when I'd gone to regular public schools. I'd rather not spend an insurmountable, unimaginable (for myself) amount of cash on something that may not be for me, and infact, may prove me right about the teachers in general. I also don't forsee paying off school-related debts, and potentially not being hired for the work that I would put all of my heart and time into, the work that I would study for. I'd never have guessed that 'islamic' clothing would be more revealing than catholic-wear. That's pretty interesting stuff.  Seriously? I presume that it's a rarity to hear a genuine scale of measurement be used in an every-day sentence. |

I still wear a skater chain with my wallet. Again something I picked up in the 90's, and never stopped doing.

My wallet has a metal skull and crossbones, with a chain (permanently) attached to it.
// I could remove the chain, but I like the chain. Plus, removing it would be too much of a hassle.

I just realized I never answered your mint question! D': Its because mint seeds are easy to get hold of. And Once you start growing mint, more seeds fall off them soooo... more mint! (Seeds especially fall a lot from from dead mint - mint that kittens have dug up and have left lying around forlornly!  ) And... by the way, when I was talking about college I meant university. X'D (Our university's name has 'college' in it. Better than the old 'school' title I suppose!) College level would be... A Levels, right? Went through that as a part of high school (which was a private school. The college level studies here differ with private and public schools). University, though, was public. And I was lucky enough to get a scholarship entrance soooo.... I didn't have to worry about dropping a huge fee bomb on my parents' heads. It was practically free. But yeah, the education standards were really high. And it was incredibly fun. I got picked upon all the time. :'D (My own major was a bit... different from the other departments though, and my teacher was more different still. He was stuck in some era 100 years back and we all went through some odd spin-off of a master-apprentice system.  ) GAH! OFF TOPIC! This is why one ought not remember things and start answering questions at 6 in the morning! X( |

Wow, well a scholarship! That explains everything! It also sounds like they do well in teaching out there. Mint sounds wonderful too, as it's the kind of plant you can grow without having a "black thumb", as I call it -- it dies, sure, but you can just grow more! Yeah, it was a little off-topic, but still, it was actually pretty fun to learn more about you this way. |

I don't change my clothes often enough when I don't need to go out  When I do need to go out though, I get all sexy sexy. Pluck my unibrow, moisturize my skin, everything. HEY! It doesn't seem as girly when I do it.... |

I normally wear nice sweaters in the winter, and then I wear gaming T-Shirts in the summer, all day. I tend to wear the same pants for weeks at a time, so they are really broken in and comfy. Dickies and a few Pairs of Jeans. As for shorts, I don't really seek comfort from them, except I like them to be long, at least a bit over my knee caps. Luckily with Dickies and a nice sweater, I normally look nice, but entirely comfortable. I do tend to keep my pants a inch or so bigger then what is needed though. I won't turn down a pair of pajama pants some times though, but they are reserved really for Turkey Day and Christmas Eve Night. Which just passed.  Lol. |
