35 “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” Things Women Used To Do, Thinking It Made Them So Cool And Mysterious

I used to do that when I was recovering from post-partum depression. It was helpful. Makes you take a deep breath and got me out of the house without the baby for a little "bubble walk", even if it was just around the block.

That's a pretty solid idea.

I'm gonna do this

Nothing wrong with blowing a few Bubbles on a calm, sunny day!

Better than smoke rings!

From one who used to pick up the pennies: Thanks!

I always flip pennies on tails over that I find on the ground so others will have “good luck.”

That is sweet

I still do this when I stop to think about. I also used to leave quarters on the ground near bus stops because sometimes you're just simply short a quarter.

I did this, almost daily, from about the age of 12 to 17. Hell, I still do it sometimes if I find a comfy tree. I'd bring a snack & soda with me & climb up as high as I could go. Why? BC NO ONE COULD BOTHER ME WHILE I WAS READING!!!! They can't pester you if they can't see you, or you can ignore them if they find you bc they can't reach you. I could hide from my step father for hours & let the world dissolve up a tree with a book. Or three. ~~ The only problem was whenever I broke something he'd insist I must have fallen out of a tree. I've NEVER fallen out of a tree. Not once!! That accusation is an insult!!!

It's possible that the reason the poster was saying it's an MPDG thing is because she read in trees so people would think she's "mysterious" not just because she wanted to.

I read book *under* a tree. Less climbing, far safer for older bones, and it's far more comfortable.

No wait. I did this for real.

still do. nothing wrong with it

I like spending $4 on barely worn, but good quality clothing

everything has a story... for you its your clothes :D

I buy from thrift stores and estate sales and sometimes say when people say I have a old lady fashion sense " Well this was a dead lady clothes"

Cringe

I had a Fairy Wing girl in my English and Science class senior year of high school. The best part (to me at least, it may have bothered her) is that not once did I hear someone acknowledging the fact; Nobody ever stared as far as I know, nobody ever asked "Hey, why're you wearing those?"...it just WAS, and people took that and moved forward. And if you're gonna be "different" while being yourself, well then damnit, I wanna live in the world where nobody is questioning you about being comfortable in your own skin

Nooo vintage gowns are great but there’s a time and a place… Ren fairs are my favorite

A co-worker's girlfriend would do this and he showed us pictures of her with her wings. She came to a work dinner for the first time to meet everyone-- sans wings. It was the biggest letdown for all.

sadge dress :(

Lemons!!!

I have to give OP’s friend credit for making sure he or she had a decent vitamin C intake.

Especially good if there's someone at the party who thinks they can sing

I can eat a lemon slice, rind and all. I do it occasionally just to freak out my friends.

I was today years old when I'm realized journalist is Journal LIST

me and my friends write down 'quotes of the year' (funny/random things we want to remember). i highly recommend

i do this buuuut... on my phone... not the same

Congratulations.

Reminds me of an episode of “Community”

If the fountain was commissioned to depict an historical event, you'd be "living in the monument".

We were so poor we couldn't afford a fountain. I had to make two with a bird bath

If it was allowed (many places it is strictly NOT) sure. I am the neighbor who stomps in the mud puddles in her hot pink polka dotted rain boots. I'm 60, btw

Yeah when kurt died i wrote "I found it hard it was hard to find oh well whatever nevermind" on the rubber part all the way around my chuck Taylors that I bought at unclaimed baggage for $3.

The pigeon toed bit is weird as an affectation

I painted Holstein cow print on one side and giant daisies on the other.
