A week of dressing up

It's funny because we already had a grad spirit week, and now we just had another. I guess it's because this year our grad particularly sucks due to them opting to replace the cool grad events (like Winter Formal) with stupid stuff like movie nights and bowling - which, by the way, no one goes to nor remembers.

Anyways, I don't like sharing my identity so here's a picture journal of what I wore during spirit week.


Monday - Nerd Day

Nerd Day

Pretty much half of the things I wore that day isn't mine! Including the 3D glasses, which I took from my sister, who took it from the theater. I must say, seeing everything framed by thick black boxes was weird. But I'm not a nerd without my glasses.

Man, some guys had it easy. They already were the image of the stereotypical nerd so they didn't need to dress up at all! (*coughSeadoncough*)


Tuesday - Hardcore Punk/Goth Day

Goth/Punk Day

Initially, I was tentative about doing this day because I had volunteering with children right afterwards. But since I pretty much dressed up as a goth every year for Halloween, this was really easy for me. It's the only day of the year I put makeup on, too. Today was no exception. Hooray for lots of black eyeshadow and eyeliner and - my favourite - black lipstick.
Oh, and yeah, I just went with it. I just wiped off all the black lipstick before I went to see them. They still commented on my freaky looking eyes, though. If they thought I was freaky, I wonder what people thought of me as I walked around Value Village.

I let my friend borrow my cross choker as I figured I'd end up taking it off during the day anyways. As a result, my clothes didn't reflect any gothic-ness at all. Which I guess is fine, because the lipstick does the trick. Also, it's good I didn't look overtly gothic because I was the only one who bothered to dress up in many of my classes. Awkward.

I got to do someone's makeup that day, too. Kind of weird putting on eyeliner for someone else, especially when that someone else is a dude.



Wednesday - Superhero/Sidekick/Villian Day

So I mentioned earlier that I went to Value Village, right? The whole purpose of that was trying to find something for Superhero day. I cycled through a lot of ideas, Supergirl being one of them. I even considered being Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls, as the only dresses I have are blue, but no one would get who I was without bringing my Bubbles plushie I have.

Didn't see many people dress up for this day either. Predictable.

Should've just taped a Superman symbol on my shirt, though.



Thursday - Genderbender Day

Genderbender Day

So that hoodie I foolish ordered in extra larger finally comes to use. And people laughed at me.

Lots of funny reactions for me today, mainly compliments for my facial hair. When I walked in to English, my teacher was like "WHOA". I got a "who are you" by another guy, and my Bio teacher almost didn't recognize me - again. And when I was walking home, my mom was driving on the road and saw me, and began to wonder who I was. She really thought I was a dude before realizing it was me all along.
I didn't think I looked that much like a guy! I clearly looked like a girl trying to be one.

What's sad is that I saw a ton of girls dressed up as dudes. As one of my classmates puts it, "Girls just have to dress crappy and put a hat on!" I've always thought guys had it easier, because all they needed to do was put on a dress. Guys didn't really have male-specific clothes. But in any case, it was a disappointment to only see four drag queens. Sigh.

I don't understand how people can walk around with jeans that fall down to their mid-thigh. I can't even go half of that without having to pull them back up again because I didn't want my underwear to show.




Friday - Disney Day

Disney Day

Also called my super cheap spirit week day because I didn't really dress up as anything!

Hate the backpack I was using though. For the past couple of days, it would rain in the mornings and suddenly become sunny. I took my chances and hoped it was going to be one of those days, because Friday is my walking home day. I couldn't fit an umbrella into that stupid bag of mines, let alone my lunch and textbooks so if it was still raining after school, I was screwed.

And it was still raining after school so I was screwed.

I bet no one saw the Tinkerbell on my shirt, either. Hell, I didn't even notice there was one until after I had bought it.


Made in SAI.

I also like to add that our year is the most apathetic one I've seen yet - for both spirit weeks!
