Post your random thoughts/feelings etc

I agree with you. The only people we need to concern ourselves with are those around us - our friends, family, people at work, people we encounter on the street etc etc. And these people should be judged on their individual personalities not just lumbered in with 'society'.

I'm not disagreeing with the idea that many people out there can be shallow sometimes, but I'd be very wary of worrying myself too much about what 'society thinks'. Society is varied and consists of thousands of different values and cultures. By making generalised statements about what we, as one person in 7 billion, think the rest of 'society' is like we only make ourselves sound as judgmental as the people who's values we are condemning for not being open-minded enough.

Yep, I was discussing the same exact thing earlier today and had to clarify that haha

(and to what coyote said)

When I say "society" I don't really mean a specific group, I just say it because some people act according to what they see in others and I don't. (well, we all do to some degree, I live in a house, I wear clothes, I'm studying and want a job, etc, but I guess you already know what I mean )

I don't have a specific idea of a specific person until I know that person well enough to do so.
I don't know why a lot of people behave the way they do and that's why I try to get to know them, their motivations, try to understand "why". Even after that, I don't think negatively of anyone unless that person deliberately hurts other people, for example. Any belief, any behavior, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, is okay to me because I don't hold the truth, I just have my opinions.
For example, I know a lot of people who do that with religion (or lack of it). Christians who don't want to be friends with jews, jews who don't want to be with muslims, atheists who don't want to be friends with religious people, etc. I ask why and often get that it's because the others are stupid. WTF? I have my own views regarding religion too but I have friends who believe in God or some spiritual powers or whatever they want to believe. I like to talk about it and I'm curious as to why they do it, I enjoy listening to other's points of view and I'm perfectly okay at them not being the same as mine, I like to talk about it.

I have absolutely no idea why I ended up rambling like that, my apologies XD


I don't care if I'm not accepted by people who behave in ways I consider immoral, I just don't want to be part of that. I'm not going to accept someone getting close to me if they lie and betray and are shallow, hypocrites, self-centered, narcissists, selfish, etc
I really don't want to be accepted and included by those people

I'm not saying that what other people do is "wrong". I just don't act that way and I don't think it's the best, but that's just my opinion, I'm in no way trying to say that my point of view is the only correct one, sorry if it seemed that way XP



PS: I basically copy-pasted what I said in another place about this subject and put it all together so sorry if it doesn't make much sense.

I love gheegle. There is a lot of women on here I would gheegle.

Im kind of late to the whole looks thing but I actually read this article just last night. And Kia I agree with you completely.

Do looks really matter? - Dateline NBC | NBC News

Its sad because this is one article of thousands that have the same sort of experimentation with the same results

Reading news articles about how over half of the US could be obese by 2030 makes me feel disgusted, both with the people I have to share this country with and myself. I just ate a huge sandwich earlier, and now I feel bad because there's no reason food portions should be that big. I also worry about ballooning up when I'm older because so many of my relatives were tiny and skinny when they were young, but gained a lot of weight once they got older. I'm kinda scared of that happening, and the whole thing makes me just not want to eat much. Part of me thinks that this type of thinking could lead to an eating disorder, but I'd like to believe I'm just being mindful of my health.

Thanks for posting this, Hoppy! I love the flavor of a tasty new word on my tongue. These were delicious!

Oh what the hell.. I bought a second hand Wii, and it turns out someone freaking hacked it. Which is now preventing me from updating the damn thing.

Thanks, previous owner. I might have wasted 90 bucks now.

You could maybe format it?

Yeah, that can lead to an eating disorder. Instead of eating less because of what you read in some article, listen to your body. If you're feeling full, there's no reason to eat the whole meal in front of you.

Don't be scared of that happening to you when you get older. If you're already eating half-well (you don't have to give up chocolate and cake) and exercising, you're already ahead of a lot of the population.

I wish there was a drug that could erase my feelings. Maybe then I wouldn't be so self-concious.

Too bad, Puma. I hope you can sort that out.

I agree. I wouldn't hope over half Americans would be fat by that time. Maybe it's not the portion size and rather the ingredients in some of the foods that one has to be mindful of?

Aw. I know. Sometimes I make myself sick over thinking things. You're still lovely, life can be hard.

[WeirdyMcGee]

Then I'm on baby night duty from october 18th- november 10th.

I wish I wasn't so clumsy and thoughtless with some of my stuff. I have had my in ear headphones ripped from my ears so many times they now need to be glued together regularly. this is all because I get up out of my chair not realising I have headphones in. another stupid thing I just done was tread on the power pack for this laptop which caused the screen brightness to go a bit funny just now, I bet this causes a problem with it later on down the line...

I am a klutz like that a lot, too. It's frustrating.

I miss HS and the days of getting stoned and listening to music with friends for hours with no real worries. I try not to think of the past but sometimes it just takes over and makes me sad.

Everyone moves on. You can remember the good times but pining for that time back will lead nowhere good.

Conversely, while I'm a fractured person now, I would never, ever go back to my high school days.

I ate fast food for the first time in a very long time and Wow I felt sooo gross and my fingers smelled of grease for days after plus the guilt of it for being so harmful to my body was just too much. I am fasting now. I ate at Denny's and KFC in less than a week! Oh and Denny's has their nasty-ass bacon-maple shake on the place mats while you eat! They are trying to kill us, I am convinced of it.

yeah I know. I rarely ever allow myself to indulge in thinking of the past. I just miss having a social life, feeling "normal".

I never, ever, ever feel this sick after eating fast food. Why do others hate it so much?

You are who you are. "Normal" is subjective.
