'Tomboy' Activities that Surprisingly Make Me Feel 'Girly'

Written by Ellie on Tue Feb 13 2024

Hey there, diary! It's Ellie, and today I want to talk about something that might surprise you. You see, even though I'm a total tomboy with my short blue hair and all, there are actually some activities that make me feel... well, girly. Yeah, I know it sounds weird coming from someone like me who usually scoffs at anything remotely "girly," but hear me out.

Shopping Spree Shenanigans

Okay, so let's start off with one of the most stereotypically girly things ever: shopping for clothes. Now normally, this is not really my cup of tea. Most days you'll find me rocking my comfy jeans and t-shirts without a care in the world. But every once in a while when the planets align just right or if I stumble upon an awesome sale (Tomboy Tip #1: never underestimate the power of sales), I find myself getting dragged into those glittery stores against my will.

And guess what? Sometimes it's actually kind of fun! There's just something about trying on different outfits and seeing how they completely transform your look that can be strangely exhilarating. Plus, finding that perfect pair of sneakers or badass leather jacket makes all those hours spent wandering aimlessly through racks totally worth it.

Girlish Gossip Galore

Now here comes another shocker – brace yourself – sometimes I indulge in gossip sessions with my closest friends too! Yes folks; even us tomboys have our moments where we unleash our inner chatterboxes and dive deep into conversations about boys… eww!

But here’s the catch - these girl talks only happen within our tight-knit circle because honestly speaking; sharing such stuff outside would probably give away more than needed to anyone watching over us from afar (cough cough nosy acquaintances). That would definitely make both parties involved pretty darn uncomfortable – especially yours truly!

So yeah, I'll admit it: we giggle over crushes and dissect every word from a text message like some kind of secret society. But hey, everyone needs a guilty pleasure now and then, right? Just don't go telling anyone that Ellie the tomboy actually has these girly moments or you might find yourself on the receiving end of my fiery glare.

Cutesy Quirks

Alright, this one's gonna take me some courage to admit... but sometimes I catch myself doing cutesy things. Yes, you read that right – cutesy things! Now before you start picturing me skipping around with ribbons in my hair (ugh), let me clarify something: it happens involuntarily!

It’s like an uncontrollable reflex where all logic is momentarily suspended as cuteness takes over my body. It could be as simple as squealing at adorable animal videos or melting into a puddle when someone surprises me with a heartfelt gesture (blushes furiously). These moments are rare glimpses into another side of Ellie - one that she keeps hidden away most days.

But here's the thing – even though these cutesy quirks embarrass me to no end (and trust me when I say they really do), there's also something oddly refreshing about them. It reminds us tough cookies that deep down inside we're capable of feeling mushier emotions too… even if those feelings make us squirm uncomfortably in our boots.

The Delicate Dance

Now onto something else entirely different but still relevant to this topic – affection. Oh boy, does affection have its ways of making this tomboy feel flustered beyond belief! Whether it’s hugs from friends or unexpected displays of warmth from loved ones (clears throat awkwardly), any form of physical contact tends to send shockwaves through my system.

I'm not exactly sure why affection has such an effect on me. Maybe it's because I've always been more comfortable expressing myself through actions rather than words. Or maybe it's just the fact that when someone shows genuine care, it reminds me of how vulnerable we all can be.

Either way, every time a hug lingers for a moment longer or a hand brushes against mine accidentally-on-purpose, my heart races and my mind goes into overdrive. It’s like trying to navigate an intricate dance where one wrong move could send everything spiraling out of control... and trust me, this tomboy doesn’t do well with losing control.

The Struggle is Real

So there you have it – some unexpected moments in Ellie's life that make her feel girly even though she'd never admit it out loud (except right now... but shhh!). Life as a self-proclaimed tomboy isn't always about rejecting all things feminine; sometimes we surprise ourselves by embracing those sides we thought were long buried beneath our tough exteriors.

But let's keep this little secret between us, alright? Because if anyone were to find out about these "girly" moments of mine or start making comments about them… well let’s just say they would quickly discover why they should never mess with Ellie!

Until next time, Ellie
