"Tomboy"...old-fashioned word?

[indigoiis]

I was not very good at most sports.
I wrote poetry and hacked all of the hair off of my bride doll.
I climbed trees.
I didn't envision my future husband, but I did imagine holding hands with Barry Manilow walking through the park while he sang "Can't smile without you"
I thought dirt was cool. Still do.
I like to climb rocks still, and some trees.
I don't wear makeup, but I wear jewelry.

And I think of myself as a tomboy still.

I am a tomboy by southern standards. I think this word has different meanings--and uses--depending on the region you live. For instance, the word "skinny". This has a negative connotation in some regions but in the south it's a standard word for "slender".

I was definitely a Tomboy. While my girly-girlfriend squealed at the sight of bugs and mud and stuff like that, I jumped right into it. While she wore white clothing and didn't get dirty; I was proud of the mud on my feet and never was squeamish either.

To my surprise, I didn't get the opportunity to raise a Tomboy daughter, instead I raised two sons who were incredibly different from my tomboy child self, THEY were real boys. But both of them tend to be attracted to Tomboys. Hehehe
