I keep a lot of blogs. That's why it's sometimes really hard to keep up with this one, especially with trying to work full-time and an overload of grad school classes. I'm lucky to find time to sleep, much less write in the four blogs I have. In any one of them, I tend to post something like what is about to follow.

This is something I feel like writing about, not as though many people bother reading this one. But, I consider it important. Some of you who read this, I've met. Others, I've not. Some of you have posted images of yourself here, either as an SG or just in your personal folders.

Thank you for sharing those images of yourself. I hate what our society has done in making women feel as though they have to fit into some perfect image of beauty, whatever that may be. None of us are perfect, but women seem to have an even harder time, as society takes shots at any imperfection, turning into something to be reviled. Every woman I know, has character elements that may be considered by the socialized machine to be "ugly," but I really don't believe in them.

To me, they're like pieces of a perfect poem. Each one may be of a different style or characterization, but each is perfect in their own way. I may not like Victorian literature as much as I like modernism, but it doesn't make it any less a work of art.

And to the idiots who graced Ember's set with the asinine comments they did... you're all pathetic herd animals just following the ridiculous influence of socialization, and I pity you.
