Daily Pet Peeve

People need to learn the difference between curvy and fat.  If you have a gut, you're not curvy.  You can be a size 2 and still be curvy.

Not.The.Same.

I'm going to start dating puppies and pizza. And by dating I mean "spending all of my time with."

Men And Armbands

Men should have to wear armbands that identify their bad habits, so we all know what we're getting into right up front.  This will cut down on a lot of heart break and confusion with dating.  Example:

"Is a bad kisser."

"Won't text you again after sex."

"Makes you pay for everything."

"Has no real interest in settling down."

Ok, it's a little Nazi-esq, but it would help the greater good.

Hoping. And Wishing. And Praying.

Hoping and wishing and praying the my university closes early and is closed tomorrow!!!

I've done no work today because I keep anticipating we'll be closing in an hour, or a few hours.  And by no work, I mean no work.  Nothing.  Nada.

Let it snow!!!!!  (and the let it all be melted away and 70 for the weekend :))

So, one of my friends shared this article on FB.

This is the best/worst post I've ever seen on Tumblr

I just got fantastic work news at the end of the day!  (people are actually interested in a program I thought up and organized).  

And come tomorrow morning, I can consume food again!!!!  Though, to be honest, this two days of no eating hasn't been as difficult and miserable as you might think.  I'm not going to lie and say it was fantastic, because, no.  But it was more bearable than I thought ...maybe I'm just psyching myself up because I have to do it again next week too.  There better be some noticeable results on my scale tomorrow, and with my measurements!!!!

Unrelated... I'd totally get with the guy in the gif. He can use his snake hips on me all he wants.

Open For Suggestions

Please share social activities (with friends/family/dates) that do NOT involve alcohol, drinking coffee, or eating.  Because... I'm out.  

Oh yea, and they have to be for winter.  And something other than a museum because that one is clear.

Ideas???

Lauren Ash's Armpit-Sniffing Date From Hell

For Lauren, dating in L.A. is a nightmare -- filled with laughing kissers, cut-and-runners, and a mysterious loaf of bread.

Yes.  All 100% accurate.  Lauren Ash, please be my new best friend!!!

When a man set up a fake internet dating profile pretending to be female, he set out to prove a point about how easy women have it when searching for an online match.

However, his experiment backfired when – just two hours later – he was forced to delete his account because of an ‘onslaught’ of unwanted attention.

Bombarded with explicit and intimidating messages, the man was so shocked he shared his experience in an online forum for women on reddit.

He said: ‘Guys were full-on spamming my inbox with multiple messages before I could reply to even one asking why I wasn’t responding and what was wrong.

Within a two-hour span it got me really down and I was feeling really uncomfortable with everything. I figured I would get some weird messages here and there, but what I got was an onslaught of people who were, within minutes of saying hello, saying things that made me – as a dude who spends most of his time on 4chan [the popular online imageboard] - uneasy.

I came away thinking that women have it so much harder than guys do when it comes to that kind of stuff.’

Oh look another instance of not accepting women’s experiences as valid until they “experience” it for themselves.

[dismissivejerkoffmotion]

Yup.

Don't Post About Food!

I'm on day six of my cleanse, which is a "deep cleanse" day.  "Deep cleanse" means that I don't eat for the next two days.  Fml.  All I've been thinking about for 12 hours is a bacon cheeseburger.

Wish me luck!  And please know that if you post about food, I will un-follow because you're an evil demon person.
