My sister just graduated from culinary school and she had a stage (pronounced "stahj" - the culinary version of an interview) at a top restaurant in my area 🙂 It's crazy but the stage can be up to 12 hours long with a measly 5 minute break to eat. And they don't pay you. Which is illegal, because you're working for free, but they do it anyway. Her stage was 9 hours, but that's still brutal and she was exhausted when she got home. 9 straight hours of standing and preparing meals. And she'd have a six day work week - ONE day off. I'd lose my mind.
It's one thing to have a passion for food and cooking... but it's another to want to be a chef. I mean, she's starting out as a line cook if she gets the job (you always do), but even chefs don't have it easy. It's constant stress in a hot kitchen that smells and your coworkers and head chef can be *******s (like anywhere you go I suppose, but she's a female in a male-dominated industry). I think she's crazy for choosing the path she did, but that's what she wants to do. If she can handle it - and she seems able to, she's a tough girl, far tougher than I am - good for her. Ultimately I hope she opens her own place, of course 🙂
Someone from one of my classes is always trying to flirt with me and compliments me a lot. He's a nice person, but I'm not attracted to him.
He recently added me on Facebook, which is fine because I have two of our classmates on there as well and I enjoy talking to him. But he posted a status yesterday saying he's in love with someone and he's wondering what to do about it. That someone could be anyone, and it would be arrogant to assume it's me, but I can't help but wonder with all the flirting.
But if he knew I would see the status why would he write that if he was referring to me? And how could he think he's in love with me if he barely knows me? It's most likely someone else he's talking about. ...But then why would he always be complimenting me and flirting with me? You can be attracted to more than one person, but can you claim to be in love with someone and then go and flirt/compliment someone else all time? (unless you're trying to sleep with them, but he doesn't strike me as that type).
I don't know. I guess I'll find out eventually, haha. I'm hoping it's NOT me because that would be awkward.
“But I think the first real change in women’s body image came when JLo turned it butt-style. That was the first time that having a large-scale situation in the back was part of mainstream American beauty. Girls wanted butts now. Men were free to admit that they had always enjoyed them. And then, what felt like moments later, boom—Beyoncé brought the leg meat. A back porch and thick muscular legs were now widely admired. And from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha ha. No. I’m totally messing with you. All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ***, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.”

I don't think my facial expression has ever gone from one of confused disgust to relieved amusement so quickly. ha ha

I always been free to admit that I like women's butts, never needed any convincing. :shyness:

Some men like slightly wider hips, myself included. I like a woman built like, well, a full grown woman.
