I'm a Gemini and I love life. I love to sing, dance, write, cuss, photograph everything, watch sports, drink with friends, laugh, drink coffee, eat ice cream, go to concerts, learn as much as I can, cook, draw, drive fast, listen to my music too loud, read a lot of books and enjoy every day I'm given.
I am cynical, bluntly honest, ambitious, odd, opinionated, artistic, moody, sarcastic, silly, intelligent, stubborn, spontaneous, adventurous, outgoing, argumentative, very open about mostly anything and tons more.
I love meeting new people and experiencing new things. :)

Shit like this needs to stop.
That people romanticize and glamorize cutting pisses me off. There’s absolutely nothing romantic or glamorous about self-harm, so stop setting up such a pretty scene for a picture when you’re slicing into your skin, hurting yourself. Stop drawing hearts and flowers on your arms, thighs, etc around your bloody cuts. Stop taking pictures of your arms while dressed in cute lingerie.
It’s not cute. It’s not funny. It’s not something to be made into something whimsical and romantic or set up to look beautiful yet sad.
I’m not being judgmental. I used to cut, a lot and often. I still struggle not to cut some days. I mostly cut on my thighs so no one would see them and sometimes on my stomach and upper arms. Anywhere I could keep hidden in regular clothes worked best for me when I was cutting. I wanted what I got out of it without having anyone know because I knew it wasn’t healthy and wasn’t good for me to be doing. I knew if people saw the cuts and the scars they would question how it happened because it’s not fun, cute, silly, romantic, pretty or anything other than ugly, dangerous and harmful.
I hate seeing shit like that pop up on my dash and hate seeing it on a blog as I’m browsing stuff on blogger, wordpress, etc. There’s no need to try and glamorize cutting or any other form of self harm. There is no tragic beauty in what you’re doing and a lot of people don’t do it to get attention. By glamorizing it, you’re only helping people who don’t understand it continue to treat it less seriously and think of it less as a real problem. And that’s not helping anything, only hurting even more and making it harder for people who wants to get help for it to do so because it’s so often seen as a “cry for attention” instead of a real problem. So stop this bullshit..
Oh sweet baby Simba…
Girl I live with loves to sing, very loudly.
Girl thinks she sounds like Carrie Underwood or Sara Evans or Christina Aguilera even.
In reality, girl sounds like a screeching cat that’s possibly in pain. Lots and lots of pain…
Overheard…
“Fuck my life! It took a depressing amount of time for me to get a damn caramel frappe. How ridiculous. Are they trying to put me in a bad mood and ruin my day? Is that some kind of barista trick for people who don’t tip? My God.”
Really? How about next time you drink some water & donate the $9 to your local food pantry or shelter for abused women/children instead? Save yourself the 15 minutes of depressing aggravation that’s apparently ruining your whole day. Bitch.
Also, it was busy as hell in there & they looked as if they were understaffed. Not like that woman was the only person waiting a while for her drink. If you’re in a damn hurry, the long line is a good indicator you should skip it. Though given that she was sitting down raging to a friend, I doubt she was in a hurry. Some fucking people, I wish I could just scream logic at them and maybe punch them in the face. You know, without looking like a crazy whackjob who would likely end up arrested, haha.
Also? If taking too long to get your coffee is such a “depressing” or “fuck my life” worthy thing that’s going to put a damper on your day, you really need to grow up.
End rant. :)
I dislike sports fans who act like you’re less of a fan for liking more than one sport.
Hockey is my favorite sport & has been since I was 9 years old. I played hockey for years, still play from time to time with friends for fun & I’m a huge fan & supporter of my Stars.
I also love baseball (Texas Rangers), college football (Texas Longhorns) and basketball (Dallas Mavs) and have been fans for all of those teams for years, too. Those are the four main teams I love & support. My favorites, the ones I’m most passionate about & keep up with religiously. I also like watching rugby, tennis, surfing and various other things when I catch them on.
It doesn’t make me less of a fan to any of those sports by liking the others. It just means I love various sports. It doesn’t make someone “more of a fan” than me just because they’re “only a Texas Rangers” or only a “Dallas Stars fan” and it doesn’t make me a better sports fan in general for liking a wider range of sports.
I hate having “elitist” fans talk down to me because they think they’re better than anyone who dares to like more than one sport. I hate seeing people talk down to someone and go on and on about how they “hate football” or “hate hockey” and don’t understand how anyone can find them enjoyable. You want to bitch about those things? Fine. But you don’t have to talk down to the people who like them just because you don’t.
Stop acting superior because you “stick to one team & one sport only.” It doesn’t make you better or more of a fan than anyone else. It just makes you look like a snotty jackass. People like what they like and if you don’t like it, don’t watch it, don’t pay attention to it & don’t come at me (or any one else) running your mouth with your pretentious little attitude. It’s really damn simple.
I really dislike people who try to force their views on others. I’ll believe what I want & someone trying to tell me I’m wrong simply because they believe differently isn’t going to make me change my mind. You don’t have to like what I believe & I don’t have to like what you believe. We don’t have to agree but if I’m respecting your right to have your own beliefs, you should respect my same right without belittling me, telling me all the reasons I’m wrong & then trying to shove your beliefs down my throat. That’s only going to piss me off & prove how narrow minded & judgmental you are.
I hate when someone tries to discount how well one of my teams is doing by saying, “well yeah, they’re in X division so duh, of course they’re doing well….”
Uh, no. They could be playing like shit and losing games just as easily as any other team is.
Yet they’re not. They’re winning and playing well so shut the fuck up with your snide little remarks and backhanded compliments.
I hate when people try to cheer someone up or encourage them by saying, “stop, you’re perfect the way you are.” If that person is hating things about themselves, telling them they’re perfect that way isn’t the best way to make them feel better. Also, they’re not going to believe your cliche false comment anyway. No one is perfect. You want to really help? Tell them actual positive things that aren’t stupid.
Tell them they have a great sense of humor and you love how they make you laugh.
Tell them how you admire how creative they are.
Tell them how smart they are.
Tell them how they make the best cookies you’ve ever had.
Tell them they have pretty eyes.
Tell them you love the way they tell a story.
Tell them they’re stronger than they think they are.
Tell them something that’s TRUE and not something that reeks of fairytale happy ending bullshit.
That way when they think about it after you say it, they know you’re being genuine. And maybe, they’ll start to believe it and you will have actually helped them a little bit.
Telling someone they’re perfect to try and encourage them is just so stupid and unoriginal. Thinking up something specific about them that you like or think is great might be harder but it will mean more.
