Hubby and I were having a pretty interesting conversation about how society and media have really screwed up people's views of beauty (well, no surprise there). Specifically that unless you're an Olivia Wild/Megan Fox or Brad Pitt/Robert Downey Jr, then you're not attractive at all.
.....really?
No wonder guys and girls have such self-esteem issues. They're being compared to extremely photoshopped images.
It's incredibly sad because it also means that anyone is "less than drop-dead hott" is looked over as being unattractive....simply because they don't look exactly like a supermodel of either sex.
Well, in Real Life, most people don't look like that. Most people can't look like that. And there are very different types of beauty. A girl or guy can be incredibly cute without being hot. And generally speaking, what matters is not only what a person looks like but also who they are, how they act, how they treat someone else.
I'd sooner date an "okay" guy who was an amazing man, than an incredibly "hot" guy who was chauvinistic (insert your choice of word here).
It amazes me how media has literally trained our generation to ignore a whole person and just focus on looks (I'm talking to both guys and girls here, btw). If a girl is an amazing woman, but also no Megan Fox, then it's immediately a check-off the list because she might have a few extra pounds around the waist. If a guy is average or better than average but no Robert Downey Jr, then the girl passes on by because she can get someone "better" (or rather, hotter).
Which also leads into something else that's been bugging me. Feminism (Now don't get angry with me yet, I'm a very strong Feminist, no doubt about it, so hear me out). Not the hardcore Feminism, but the barely there permeated into our society in very specific ways feminism. (See the trick with the capitol letter?)
The kind of feminism that convinces any girl who's not a small boyish looking girl or BBW (and even then, still manage to), that A. She can sleep with whomever she wants because any guy would obviously want her and B. that any guy who's trying to be friends with her is just doing that because he wants in her pants.
Girls, get over yourselves.
Sure, there are some guys like that (I've met a few) but guess what, most (if not all) guys have a specific Type of girl they like and find attractive. Not every guy is attracted to thin girls just like not every guy is attracted to curvy girls. Attraction, surprisingly, is varied.
Just because you happen to have boobs and a vagina does not mean any guy will sleep with you if you just smile. And the guys who might generally aren't the kind you want any relationship with.
Honestly, I think it's a sign of maturity level. The realization that Real Life is different than what you always wanted. It's not settling, it's realizing that that idea is just that, an idea. Real people have flaws and won't be perfect in anything. The key is to look at the whole person, not just the physical aspects of someone only.
It's the way it is with everything, honestly. You have to look at the whole picture, at every aspect, every angle to get a full good viewpoint. Not just focus solely on one thing. That's not healthy and tends to lead to unhealthy views.
Bit of a ranting post, sorry about that. I hope my points make sense, though. It's been something that's been frustrating me over a long amount of time because I see people act like this over and over and over again....and it's self-centered and immature. Unfortunately, society and media just keeps reinforcing it. So what can you do?

Anniversary Adventure!
So...I can finally announce it. We're going on a 7day7night Carnival Cruise for our 2nd year anniversary adventure! Sooo excited. We've been wanting to do one for a long time (initially thought about doing it for our Honeymoon), and now it worked out so we can.
Yayayayayayayy!!!!!!!!!!!
Now.....I need actual summer clothes. Eep!

Life, the Universe, and Time
So it is official. I should have done it months (some would say years) ago, but I finally have legally changed my name!! Yes yes, I know. Two years late, but whatever. You try working 40 hours a week, 9 hours of classes, and keeping up with a house and oh yah, that other thing....oh, marriage. That's right.
Anyway, I am so happy I finally fixed that. Now I just have to make an appointment at the DMV to get my license changed (name and address, actually), and voila! Though it is wonderful to know that I can now sign my name without having to explain anything.
Toy Story 3 was incredibly good. As usual. Pixar, well done. Go take yourself (and significant others, kids etc) to go see it. If you're like me, you'll have fond memories of being 11 (I think) and watching it, being amazed at how real everything looked. And now I'm 22, soon to be 23 (a month and couple weeks from!), watching the third and final installment (I think) of Toy Story and still feeling like a kid watching it. Good job. Though, I'll watch anything by Pixar. They have yet to do something bad. Even sequels turn out almost as good as the first one, which is a rare thing nowadays.
I had an attack of reorganize the kitchen last night. We weren't using our counterspace well, and it was bugging me. I kept staring at it and finally realized how to utilize the whole counter. Most of which consisted of putting away a couple appliances we weren't using enough to keep out, move over the knife block to the other side in the corner, the spices near the knives, and stick the cutting board on the side of the counter with the disposal section of the sink. On the opposite corner is a fruit basket (filled currently with oranges, a cantaloupe, and oranges), and some flowers (well, realistically fake looking flowers. I like them!) It adds just enough color to lighten and brighten our kitchen considerably, since it's practically the only place that actually doesn't have windows besides the back door.
I honestly cannot wait for the day I can be at home during the day so I can open the house up and get all the sunlight streaming in. By the time I'm back from work, the sun is in the wrong place and it gets dark quite quickly, which is really sad. It's such an amazing bright and cheery place with the windows open. At night, it's not non-cheery or something. I just love natural light. Especially after spending all this time in fluorescent light, I miss natural lighting a lot.
Ooo...I need to get candles. I love having candles all around the house, but have run out. Dollar store, here I come! They have great scented candles for cheap. And little stands, too. Though I do know what kind I'd like to get sooner rather than later.
I suppose now I'm actually settling in to our home, and viewing it as our home. Not that I didn't before, but finally figuring out how I want it to look and what it should be like. Wonderful. I love setting up house. Now if I could just get through some of those boxes in the garage..... Most of which are books. You know, I might take a Saturday and just spend the entire day going through our boxes of books, getting them all set up and putting the rest back in the garage. Pretty sure that would take care of a good chunk of the random boxes sitting around in there.
I've also started actually planning out meals. On a blog I love browsing through, they had this amazing setup for planning your meals and keeping track of the groceries to remember. I taped both up on the fridge (Because it's not magnetic!) and am now keeping a good list of both. I figure I'll use Saturday as "grocery" day from now on, because I assume that buying groceries regularly instead of waiting till you nearly run out probably is a better way to save money than not. Also have a couple envelopes on the fridge keeping track of coupons for food and for market. Also our fridge is dry erasable. So bummer about not being magnetic. Awesome for being able to use dry erase markers on it!
I'm feeling rather grown up now. I'm married (almost two years!!), we have an amazing condo. We're settling into a schedule.
Oh and all of my friends are having babies. Talk about feeling old....er.
I've also realized my concept of Time has shifted without me knowing it. I think in long term now, not just short term. Five years to me is not that long anymore and I know it can be gone in a blink. We've been talking about when to buy a house (future!), and I realized that living in the same place for more than five years does not scare me like it used to, because it really isn't all that long. Planning on where to be for the next five years (I'm using five cause it's a good round number) is easier and more natural.
Compared to three-four years ago when thinking ahead that much scared me, because I didn't think I could know what I would want to do that far in advance. Ha. Well, live and learn.
It's also weird to look back on myself from three years ago and realize how much I've changed and also how much I've settled into who I am. I probably won't vary (much) from who I am today in five years. I might settle more, I might change a little, but nothing like the drastic change from 18 year old me to 23 year old me. Even looks have changed a bit. Well...more style than looks, I suppose. Anyway. I'm settling into who I am and embracing it, instead of fighting against it.
I'm incredibly excited for what this next year holds. Hopefully some good changes coming up soon.
Also, planning our 2nd year Anniversary Adventure. Going to be awesome, but not quite talking about it yet. Need to finalize a few things first. Ee! Soo excited.
On that note, I need to get back to work.

Birds are like mini velociraptors....with wings.
I don't feel good today. Actually, haven't been feeling good for a week or so. But it's a weird not feeling good. I don't feel sick per se, but I don't feel well either.
I haven't been sleeping well at all. I don't know what it is, it's not the heat (gone by the time I go to bed). I fall asleep at a good hour (10:30!) and wake up more tired than when I went to bed. I'm dreaming more but they're just random odd dreams (if you want random odd dreams, read Neil Gaiman before bed, does the trick).
I've also been a lot more irritable, much to my chagrin. (Apologies to anyone, especially Hubby, that I've snarled at).
Gah.
Maybe I'm just stressed (But about what is entirely unknown to me). Entirely possible.
I hate not knowing why I feel like this. Rather frustrating.
Anyway.
Seeing Toy Story3 tonight. Going up to a friend's graduation BBQ tomorrow in the dessert. That should be fun. Good food and conversation.
And today is Friday, so that is thankful.
Ta.

New Thing All Around
Hello there,
Yes, I did just post yesterday but I can actually expound on it now.
Our best friends gave birth to a little boy yesterday around 7pm! Sooo excited for them. Cannot wait to go down and see them and hold that gorgeous honorary nephew!
Also, sis-in-law and bro are pregnant. Due in January, so that is also exciting.
And my other friend is due in 9 days! She's also expecting a gorgeous little boy.
So many babies around or going to be around. How exciting!!
Today is going to be a good day. I don't have work tomorrow because Hubby's little cousin is graduating from 6th grade, and we're driving up tonight to be with them. Also, Dad-in-love is flying out along with Hubby's aunt, whom I adore (Well, I adore all of our family), just haven't seen her in a long while. Since Hubby's graduation, actually. I really wish Brother and Mom-in-Love could come too. Going to miss them dearly.
However, excited to be seeing them this weekend and also with having a day off tomorrow, thus 3 day weekend!
Oh. Notice anything different? Why yes, I did cut my hair! No? Oh. You mean the layout?
It was time for something different, and this felt more like me at the moment than the other one (though it is a favorite and I'll probably switch to that one again at some point). Reminds me of a faerie gypsy type.
It's been nice around the house, lately. Lots of relaxing and a very calming summertime so far. It's been amazing. Also been getting lots more sleep. I've been going to bed by 10 or 11 every night this week, and wow. Feel so good.
Also been accepting Facts as true, which has been very healthy for me.
Overall, it's been a good week. And am very happy it's summertime.
We're also plotting our 2nd year Anniversary. So excited and can hardly believe it's been 2 years (well, almost)!

Babies!
Well, it appears everyone's either getting pregnant or giving birth.
Babies everywhere. How exciting.
And in case you're wondering, no, not yet. Soon, but not yet. And yes, we have talked about it.
Congratulations to my friends. You know who you are. So happy for all of you!
Oh crap. I need to figure out gifts. Eep!
Much love. *Muah*

What do you hear? Nothing but the rain....
Well, hello there. Been a couple weeks. Though it feels much much longer than that. Ages even.
Guess that happens when life goes insane.
Not much I can talk about, unfortunately (or fortunately). Suffice it to say, the past two weeks have been ones of turmoil, insanity, and lots of trusting. Things have worked out for the better, thankfully, but it took lots of bloodsweattears (not literally but that idea), like most things.
Anyway.
I haven't been feeling very well the last couple of weeks. I caught a nasty headcold last week that has morphed into a wonderful chestcough and sore throat now (yay!).
I've also been trying to figure out what to do with my life. Yes, yes, wasn't it just a few weeks (months?) ago I posted a blog that I had figured out what I was doing? Well, yes. But I'm actually now trying to figure out how to do that. Sure, I have figured out ideally and abstractly what I want to do (even have a vague sense of how to do that), but currently am trying to figure out practically how to do that. A lot harder than it seemed. Well....more that I have to make some hard calls on how and what to do when. I've never been much of a planner, so having to plan 5-8 years of schooling....not really my cup of tea. I sometimes wish I had an administrative/organized mind, instead of the crazy unorganized chaos that is my artist's brain. But I suppose if I had that mind, I wouldn't be able to write as I do or what I enjoy writing.
Speaking of writing, I really need to get back on that. I haven't written anything (besides some blogposts and journal entries, which I don't really consider writing writing) in a very long time. Happened when our Netbook broke (which had most of my stories on it), and I enjoy having my Netbook to work on stuff....so when that happened, kind of lost touch. We're getting it fixed soon, though, so I should be able to start working on them again. It's the summer, afterall, I might as well do something besides catching up on movies and reading a ton. Oh my goodness, I love the summer.
Speaking of summer, I have decided to swim 3x a week for the summer (if not longer). I did my first last night and while it was probably only about 20 minutes or so (if that), it felt glorious. Not only was the temperature just right, the time was perfect, and it felt a good way to start off my night at home (I got home from work, changed, swam, and then showered). So partially to get into better shape and partially because it was a glorious de-stresser from work and mostly for the relaxation and fun, I will do this consistently for the next few weeks and see how I'm feeling after that.
I realize I'll always be a bit of a curvy girl (and let's face it, most of my curves are things I can't and don't want to lose ;-) ), doesn't mean I wouldn't mind being a better toned curvy girl. So we shall see how it goes. I'll be happy just to tone up my stomach if nothing else. Hehe.
Though, oddly, I'm completely at ease with who I am and what I look like. Sure, I want to make some changes but mostly for fun than anything else. Sure I can see things in which I could be "better" (or perhaps healthier is a better term? Not better, because it's not like I'm bad or wrong or something)....but overall, I am content with who I am and how I look. The changes are for fun, to match who I see myself as inside, not because I need to change but because I want to. And that's the difference.
Hubby and I just finished watching the final few episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Oh my goodness....it was one of the most amazing finales I've ever seen in a TV show. Ever. Soo amazing. And they actually pulled off making the good guys be good and the bad guys bad, and having that be the downfall. The reason the bad guys "get what's coming" is not through the good guys being tricky or the bad guys having a change of heart. No, it was from their own natures interacting with each other. The bad guys got what was coming because they acted according to their nature, and that was their downfall. It's very hard to do, and very hard to do believably. The BSG writers managed to do it believably and well. Go watch the series all the way through. It's really good, and the end ties everything together. I've never seen a character actually come full-circle as they made one of theirs do. I was in shock, and cried. A lot. At the end. But then again, this is me. I cried watching the "Dream On" episode in Glee. If you are going to spend your summer watching random TV shows, I'd highly suggest you spend it watching BSG. It's well worth your time. Trust me.
Also, there is a crack in the ceiling/wall at work. I am now on edge, trying not to look in the corner of my eye and also waiting to hear a certain sound.
...When on earth did I become such a nerd?
I cannot wait for Inception to come out. I will watch anything by the Nolan Brothers (practically) and Leo DiCapprio has really come into his own as an actor. I didn't like him for the longest time but he has done such good movies lately, that I've come to love him. So mix him with Ellen Page and the Nolan Brothers, and oh my goodness, can hardly wait!!! Think I'm going to plan an amazing date for me and Hubby around this movie. Seems too good not to.
Alrighty, now that I'vewasted spent a good amount of your time, I should get back to work. Not that there's much to do, given I finished my projects. Now I just sit and wait for the phone to ring. Oh, and Hubby to come scare me cause he's teasing me about the crack. Such is life, my life, that is, which I'm coming to realize is not boring and probably never will be.
So say we all.
