Random.

I have some ideas of what to blog about, but first I would like to have one random post.

First I have to say, comments like these totally make blogging worth it:

Hi,
I am 18 years old and I just finished my first semester of University. Since the dawn of puberty I have been steadily gaining weight and failing to lose it. The past four months have been especially difficult. I was checking out your blog just to examine the alternative, ie. finally accepting that I am just not small and it is a waste of my time to worry about it. Honestly, I don’t think I expecting to like the “alternative” point of view, I think I was hoping it would inspire some weightloss. Not so much, you come off so eloquent and likeable- nothing I could possibly disagree with. Thank you for writing and enlightening the small-minded such as myself.
Good luck with everything!
Jane.
p.s. I hope you know you’re wicked beautiful as well.

Yay! I inspire people! lol! j/k, but it does make me happy to know my blog can have a positive effect.

And I got this comment from Audrey:

yeah that looks great and all but what about ‘apple’ shapes?
the brown dress is adorable it would be tight and loose in all the wrong places if I wore it!

I honestly wish I could answer this, but considering I’m not an ‘apple’ shape it’s rather hard for me. I’m no Stacey or Clinton. Are there any other apples out there that have some advice?

I went to the beach last night (*sniff* last day of vacation!) and had a fat girl bikini photoshoot with my sister. Pictures will be posted in near future for all to gaze in awe at (or for trolls to shit themselves after seeing a fat chick in a bikini and looking rather happy). You guys know me, I’m such a vain fatty slutmuffin. whatevs.

I really want to “connect” with my blog readers more. I like it when the same people like to comment and eventually I remember “hey! They commented before!”. Sorry, my memory is god AWFUL. I remember by icons (or whatever) so when someone has a picture I remember them quicker. I just love it when I go to other blogs and I read comments and see how much of a group everyone is. Then I see how of a slacker I am and how I don’t participate much in comments. ever. I hate how I fail at comments. I don’t leave comments on other people’s blogs because I’m a wus, and I barely leave them on my own blog. I am made of LAME when it comes to that.

You know what I also hate? Fucking dashboard. I always feel like I suck when I see “Oh, I only have 200 people view my blog.. that one day I have NINE HUNDRED! I must really suck now!” I do the same thing on deviantart- judge my art/blog worthiness by the pageview and/or number of comments recieved. Ugh. That is crap, and I need to stop doing that.

Ugh.. Less than a month until I start college. *SCARED*

You know what? I took Calculus this year! If I can handle integration and differentiation, I CAN HANDLE THIS!!!

Well, I guess we’ll find out.

Oh yes, and The Pipettes are awesome. I just got their CD, and I can’t stop listening to it. That and the new issue of BUST, along with a book called “American Women” that is about historical women in America. Rockness.

  1. I feel similarly about my blog, but a little differently (lol). I see I get views and then I get all excited, but when I scroll down I see the search terms used to reach my blog are like “anti-feminist” or really crude, raunchy things. Then, I’m like, oh… well, I guess that viewer was disappointed. *wry grin*

    You have an awesome blog though! Keep it up! :)

  2. You absolutely, 100% are an inspiration. I’m a 16-year-old recovered anorexic, and even though I am still technically “underweight,” all of my doctors say I am healthy. I am still thin, and though it might seem a little odd, I come to your blog on days when I really struggle with my body image. I might be small physically, but emotionally I feel like a fat girl, and just seeing you so positive and beautiful has really helped me so much throughout my recovery. It’s one of those things where, “Hey, if she can look that awesome and she’s bigger than me, then maybe I don’t look as awful as I think…”

    You inspire me. And you have helped me fight one of the most hellish mental disorders. So thank you, and please please PLEASE know that you have an impact. It’s probably a lot greater than you realize.

    XOXOXOXOXO (LOTS of love hehe),
    Sarah

  3. You’ve got 200 people reading you…you are a kick-butt chick and don’t ever doubt it! Also, it took me 40 years to get 1/4 of the confidence you have, so you rock for that, too.

  4. you should check out:

    forget that most of it is in french and just see this gorgeous girl’s pics!

  5. Your blog amongst many others are simply amazing and helpful. The key is to empower and support one another. Blogs and books have been my source of support lately, and it has really helped. My favorite book that I will share with you is called, Embracing Your Big Fat Ass, by Laura Banks and Janette Barber.

    It is totally funny, yet leaves me thinking more positively about my body image. I have learned to love me for me, big ass and all.
