What Am I?

Apr 28, 2014 15:59



I dress in the uniform dictated for me,

but I will only wear my own face.

I can swing a hammer,

but nails escape my notice.

"X" marks the spot,

but does not signify my destiny.

I don't bake buns in my kitchen.

What am I?

[Answer]
No true woman. I wear women's clothes but not makeup. I don't do my nails. I don't prefer "feminine"

I really enjoyed this entry of riddles. These answers could be mine (except the trekking part, because I'm a Trekkie).

This is my favorite entry so far.

Aw, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and it's kind of comforting to know that others can relate to it.

The third riddle really struck a chord with me, because that really could be me.

Thanks! I've never used the cuts before, but I'm glad I figured it out. My first idea was to have hidden text that you'd have to highlight to read, but that's awkward.

I got all of these, except the last one (though I did at least get the general reference because of the line, "my baked goods have never deceived me" ...and now I have song in my head, dammit!) ...I'm not a video gamer, though I am peripheral to video gaming through associations with plenty of folks who are. I enjoy table top games. But I could relate to you at every other turn in, in every respect, though I'm into a few more things on the geek scale, and yet still I'm often told I'm not "geek enough." *sigh* I hear ya, sista.
