Gah.

To all the men on my f-list.
I think there are two of you.
But all the same. Know this;

When a woman shaves her legs for you she deserves your silent thanks and respects and adulations of praise because, and let me tell you this, BECAUSE, it is a huge, gigantic, long and fucking boring job. MOTHER OF GOD. It takes fucking forever and you end up with little scratches on your knees where the head of the razor wouldn't go and little knicks if you're not VERY careful and then you have shaving cream under your fingernails that just won't go away for ages, and once you wash it off you see you've missed a place on the back of your leg and you have to fucking REAPPLY the shaving cream which then needs to be picked out from under your nails AGAIN. All the while you can't get the 'I'm your Venus' song out of your head so you've got this chorus going that sounds like cats SHRIEKING because it's a terrible, terrible song. And then you need to reapply AGAIN because you forgot your underarms. And above all, it takes that long, and the fucking hair grows back anyways.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's ten thirty AM, I'm still VERY jetlagged, and I have a job interview to prepare for tomorrow. The sundress needs ironing and I can't find the pink nail polish, but my legs are officially shaved.
I just didn't like the process very much, is all.

I go to a school where the uniform is a skirt, so I shave up higher than most (but when you wear the same length skirt all year long it only makes sense) but I do remember liking it before it became a job that took half an hour or so. Argh.

Maybe you're just short. *sticks out tongue*

Noope, I'm relatively tall. Takes me about half an hour too :P But, I don't really wear skirts all that often so it's more of a luxury 'aaah, smoothness!' type thing.

I don't do it as often as I should, but whenever I'm wearing a miniskirt, then yes. Which I am today, as we're going out to the movies. Not to mention, interview tomorrow, omg.

My shortest skirt is knee-length, so it's not like I have much to shave.

Oooh, good luck! What're you being interviewed for?
