Why am I updating? Do I have anything to say? No, not especially. . . But I start getting all anxious and weird when my comments get into the double digits. I'm a freak. I'm not denying it.
Let me tell you, Suicide Girls is the greatest procrastination tool ever! Fuck this knitting and baking stuff. When I don't want to study, I'm going to stalk people online from here on out. . . . It's going pretty well so far.
Ooo, speaking of which, this bio exam I took last week? Kicked its ass. Got my grade today. We're stoked. It was pretty easy, but hey. I do my best.
So, something that offends me: I read fashion magazines. Why? I don't know. I like them, I guess. They're awful, and perpetuate so many things about society that I hate. But they keep me entertained while at the gym, so I buy them. And regularly. So in one of them, there's this ad for self tanner, and it shows a chick's bottom half in some way short skirt. And the caption says 'sex on legs'. And I'm thinking, is this really the image we want to be sending to (a) young women (that they are merely a vagina on sticks, rather than an intelligent sentient creature) or (2) men, to whom it would reinforce the objectification of women? It offended me in a way that most conventional fashion or cosmetics ads don't. Fuckers. And the thing is, I'm a feminist. I totally am. I totally believe that many of the world's problems could be solved if women were treated better. But I am by no means a radical one. . . not of the bra-burning, men-hating feminist breed. And still, this stuff makes me fuckin angry. Whew. I said it.
What else? I have a question for you folk: What does one do when one wants to decline a friendship proposal ? (this isn't necessarily a reference to anyone whose friendship with me might be pending). I feel like an asshole declining friendship. . . and mostly I don't want to. But then I read some of these profiles, and I'm like, um, you're narrowminded and have bad grammar. And then I start beating myself up for judging them before I know them. So any advice? I don't want to be a nasty bitch here. . .
