Friendslock
Just as an FYI, since my mum found my LJ, I've decided to get a LOT better at locking things up. So from now on, both my LJ and my DW are Friends Only.
If you wanna add me, just leave a comment so I know who you are :) -
(Untitled)
We began discussing feminism today in my International Relations lecture. Exciting! I was a bit nervous about how it would go, but our lecturer was really on top of things and pro-feminist. There was a fair bit of class discussion, which is where some collossally stupid comments were made, but on the whole it was pretty good. I stuck up for the ' ( Read more... ) -
Feeling sorry for myself
Today I have eaten:
5 grapes
3 almonds
a kitkat
1 and a bit potatoes
This is normally less than I eat in a MEAL, but I have never been less hungry in my life. I try and eat anyway and my stomach goes and ties itself in knots, so I stop. Being sick sucks.
Especially cos I'm going to try go to go back to classes tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. -
Leg hair - a feminist issue?

But I still haven’t managed to get my head about the reaction to female leg hair. Why is it more gross than, say, your eyebrows? Why does no one ever go ( Read more... ) -

Sigh
Why will no one give me a job?
It's just ridiculous. I try and I try and I try and no one wants me, nothing comes back, nothing ever works out and it's so fucking DUMB! I am a fantastic worker: I'm dedicated and smart and willing to go the extra fucking mile if only someone would see that!
Some dick at the French cafe said he wouldn't give me a job ( Read more... ) -
Sigh
Every morning I tell myself I'll actually get up and get shit done today. And every morning I stumble out of bed ten minutes before lunch, having wasted half the day on the internet. Oh willpower, where did you go? -
Nature
Finally guilted myself into doing some physical exercise today, and I'm so glad I did. I went for a long walk up in the Botanical Gardens, and it was food for my soul.
It was so nice, getting away and being surrounded by greenery, with trees towering over your head and dripping on you, and the green smell of the wet ground. In some of the crags and ( Read more... )
