PETA IS TAKING DOWN THE REVOLTING FAT-PHOBIC BILLBOARD DUE TO 'MASSIVE PUBLIC DISAPPROVAL'! MUHAHAHHAAHHHAHA

BAH. PETA are FUCKS. Check out this fucking fatphobic OMG SO FUNNY HARDIHAR. Ha. billboard.


Yes, because vegetarianism makes people magically thin. Also, name-calling fat people whales is just... fucking unbelievable. Did someone say PETA was an ethical organization? Yes, right. OMG DON'T HURT THE BUNNIES but fat people are disgusting so let's make jokes about them. "Equal treatment for all beings" my ASS.

I think it's Angry Email Time.

Today I:

1) Toured all the photoblogs of chubby and fat women I could find and left positive comments for the owners and waged war on all the people who'd just dropped by to 'be helpful' by telling the women they should be ashamed of themselves. Newsflash: Your insecurity and fear is showing, haters.

2) Opened my curtains and stared at the bright spots on the carpet, confused. OH RIGHT, IT'S SUNLIGHT. I remember that.

3) Bought two or three new t-shirts for summer, and a pair of bathers that fit.

4) Realized that 18C does not constitute Summer weather and took said bathers off.

5) Wrapped self in a robe and camped out by the heater to defrost.

6) Worried more about extra things I can do to ensure I get into Emergency Medicine.

7) Paid off my credit card, whoo!

8) Realized I was broke again, though.

Omg, people are fucking stupid.

Here is the tattoo on my back. From nearly a decade ago:



Here's an image some 23yo girl from Greece is trying to pass off as her own design.

Seem familiar, much?

Fucking plagiarizing losers. Get some of your own fucking ideas.

While I *REALLY* want to get into Emergency Medicine next year, I'm worried about what it's going to be like throwing myself into abject poverty again. And I'm not exaggerating, I'll have $31 a week for food, for example. I'm also having trouble saving myself a safety net because of the fucking exhorbitant bills I've got due at the moment ($754 for car rego, WTH?).

I've done poverty before - when I first moved out I was earning as low as $70 (averaging about $130ish a week) some weeks, with rent of $55pw. I know I can do it.

But it still worries me :S

Out of all the things I've written, I still like The Path of Least Resistance the most. Even if, as Nakannalee says, I have problems with floating prose.

Isn't it fun going over stuff you've written? I hardly remember like 50% of what I wrote in the House fandom a couple of years ago, and it's so much fun going back and reading it again!

OMFG GOKUJOU SEITOKAI IS FUCKING KILLING ME. IT IS MADE OF OVERT GAY ONLY JUST SHORT OF THE STUDENTS HAVING LESBIAN ORGIES. ALSO THE CHARACTERS ARE WELL DEVELOPED (ANIME DEVELOPING CHARACTERS, WTH?!) ALSO IT'S MADE OF FUCKING WIN.

Also, check this out for just AWESOME text cues. AWESOME. Split-second vid editing. I <3 it. ALSO IT'S HILARIOUS.

The following things did NOT happen today:

1) The sky fell in.

2) My place of employment blew up in a cloud of smoke and they told me I can spend three months at home on full pay while they fix the place.

3) I suddenly discovered I am ALREADY a qualified paramedic and don't need to go back to school.

4) I realized I didn't waste half my life playing WoW, it was all just a terrible nightmare.

5) I sat down and had a firm but polite discussion with my cats about how I feel about them farting in my bed.

6) My mortgage paid itself! It was awesome.

It's ABSOLUTELY FRICKEN PELTING with rain and Jane is late D: Melbourne weather is made of fail. Have some morose mental images of Jane huddling in a bus stop somewhere, trying to shelter from the lashing wind and hail and yelling out for me to save her. Instead, I sit happy and oblivious in front of my heater watching bad reality shows.

D:

I am currently in the process of moving my vast number of clothes from the floor of Davey's room-to-be into my own room. I've decided which chest of drawers I want from Ikea, and I've already purchased some hanging shelves for my wardrobe. Also, must somehow fix toilet door so it shuts. It will be weird not being able to wander absently around the house in the morning with only a pair of knickers on. Also, it will be kind of weird trying to have sex when there's someone unrelated to the sex in the house. D:

Anyway, back to the bad reality shows! <3

I tweeted joyfully about this yesterday: jane and I were at the movies trying to decide if we wanted to see the Proposal or Bruno or Year One - and then suddenly out of the blue jane's like, "Wanna see Hannah Montana?". LIKE OMG OMG?! DUH!!!!! I'd seen it up on the board but hadn't suggested it, because I'm the only Hannah Montana fan who's over the age of six. SHE TOOK ME TO SEE HANNAH MONTANA ALL OF HER OWN VOLITION! AND AND SHE DIDN'T COMPLAIN! OR CRINGE! AND SHE LET ME GUSH ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS!

All this making sacrifices for me makes me all blushy and smitten. <3 I loooooved the movie and now I am desperately trying to learn the (omg painfully cheesy) boot-scooting moves to Hoedown Throwdown!

Oh, and <3 jane, too.

I am going back to university next year (if I get in!) to study to be a paramedic. Tragically I have a mortgage, and the course is full-time. I will have to work some ODD HOURS for mortgage monies. But somehow I will manage and become an Ambo! :D

Well, Teamwork made it into the Housefic meta Hall of Fame (and the process reminded me why I left the self-satsfied snark of the House fandom). It feels like a nice closure for me. Teamwork was like a coming of age experience for me: I just reread from the beginning and reflected how I had matured and grown as a writer over the course of writing it. I did consider going back and closing a couple of plot holes and generally snipping some of the prose, but decided not to. Teamwork is where I was at that point, and I'm not ashamed of that.

I have a Davey living on my couch. It is awesome. Hopefully this weekend I will also have a Jane in my bed :D

Housefic meta is voting on Teamwork at the moment if you're interested in taking part!

It has, on multiple occasions, been suggested that I have no soul. I think the latest illustration of this is that I couldn't care less about Michael Jackson's death. I mean, there's always the aww-factor when someone you know of dies, but it's not like my life is over.

Luckily, I am in a fantastic mood. :D :D :D

If any House-dom-ians still inhabit my LJ, Teamwork is up for review at housefic_meta. Naturally the elitists have already sunk their teeth into it. Serves as a very effective reminder why I left the fandom.

I've decided not to visit the thread again because I expect a lot of criticism - and considering I can get the constructive type from people who are actually interested in helping me improve my writing, it seems sort of pointless to submit myself to strangers posting about how crap they think it is.

Just in case you were wondering, I am not dead! I am just hibernating in front of the heater. Brrr.

I just broke up with John.

I'm not going to Europe any more in September, guys - I can't afford to :( Got too many things here that need to be taken care of: tyres for car, need to fix hole in my roof, blah blah. Hopefully I'll be able to swing that way next year, instead. Luckily I had full fare airline tickets so I get all the money I paid back :D
