Just Letting off a little Steam

People are rude!
I know that this is a gross over generalization, but for the most part, it is true. As stated before, I try very hard in my life to see the good in people. I guess I'm an optimist. I like to see the glass half full, even if it really is half empty.

Most people, I've found, treat people in the opposite manner. They only look at the bad, no matter how superficial those aspects are. Then they proceed to tear that person down, based on those faults. They do not give people the benefit of the doubt. As soon as they find one little displeasing aspect, they give up all hope for the person, they become worthless.
People ignore the fact that I'm a generally good hearted, compassionate, intelligent, and sweet person, and focus on the following:

1. I could stand to lose a little weight.
2. I'm rather pale, and tend to be a great indoors woman.
3. I'm not the most organized person on earth.
4. I haven't got a boyfriend.
5. I love my computer, to an almost alarming extent.
6. I've got a lot of muscle for a lady.

For future reference, before you EVER EVEN CONSIDER making a comment about any of those things to me again, please take note of my responses.

1. Yup, I've got a little junk in my trunk. I've known this for a long time, and I don't need your reminder. At the same time though, I've actually lost weight since high school. I've gone down an entire size. I have decent endurance when it comes to covering long distance, I've got an ideal blood pressure and heart rate, and aside from my asthma, I'm very healthy. Can you say that? Can you? And as for the anorexic ones that like to point this out, I've got curves. Curvature is a good and healthy thing to have. While I need to lose weight, you need to put some on. Also, my excess weight is well proportioned, I carry it well and still look good. SOME people manage to have all their excess weight on their stomach and almost look like their pregnant when veiwed from the side.

2. Yes I am pale. I love the sunshine, it's lovely. The sun though, doesn't like me. I burn in a matter of minutes. And when I burn, I burn badly (as in, I get blisters). Years of sun-damage of left me with shoulders covered in little freckles. That's not a good thing. They tend to lead up to skin cancer. I may use a bit of sunless tanner, otherwise my legs might blind you, but aside from that little boost, I don't worry about getting that golden tan. Being pale totally beats getting skin cancer. So if I choose to stay indoors on sunny days, bite your tongue before making a joke about me being pale. Otherwise, when you wind up with a sunburn, or worse, skin cancer, I'll be forced to point at you and laugh. I also need to point out that I've got nice and good skin, which is odd for people around my age. I do not break out, my skin isn't oily, and my pores are kind of smallish. If you have any of those problems, don't comment on my paleness, or I might point out how flawed your own skin is.

3. Yes, there is a bit of clutter in my living space. Not everything is in it's place at all times. My fish tank might even have a bit of algae in it. But I can find what I need, when I need it. There's a difference between regular organization, and obsessive organization. Don't make me get all Freudian on you!

4. *Sigh* Oh whatever will I do without a big strong man to take care of me? If you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic (go read my former posts). I'm a fairly independent person. To quote my beloved Foamy "I do not need the existence of another person to validate my own existence". And to quote the wonderful Melissa "We'd have more fun planning our kidnappings of various super hot men, than we ever would discussing our boyfriends". So basically, I'm capable of keeping my own life interesting and fun without the aid of a man. I've got a good and creative head on my shoulders, a decent job, great friends, a scholarly and philosophical nature, and a sense of self-worth to keep me busy and entertained. If I find a great guy who loves me for who I am, that would be great. If I don't, well, at this stage I really don't care. I've got enough other stuff to be focusing on.

5. I do indeed love my PC. Right now it's the only thing keeping me in touch with most of my friends. Otherwise I'd be spending an outrageous amount of money on gas and my cell phone bill. I can talk to Jennings, Melissa, Jessica, and others on IM, and email Julie and my parents. I also have other wonderful tools like on-line access to the library's database, and some of the forums I belong to. Of course, my little blog here is another reason i love my PC, along with things like MS Office. Basically, I'm on my computer a lot, because it is my lifeline. Thus, leave me and my lover alone. *lovingly strokes her monitor* Yes, I know that some people find it creepy, but when I'm at home, and the school work is gone, I'll get away from this thing more.

6. The muscle issue hasn't been brought up until recently, but some people seem to find women with muscle to be highly unattractive. I like to work hard, stocking the cooler at work is something I enjoy. That involves a lot of lifting of heavy things. Thus, I've built up muscle. I don't see how that's anything bad. Strength is a good thing. Once again, it shows that I am healthy. And on this note, it's also a testament to the fact that I visit the gym rather regularly. Therefore, those who call me lazy, can keep their mouths shut as well.

Anyhow, those that this was written for probably won't read this. But on the off chance that they do, please take notes, and remember this during future conversations. And on a closing note: I'll type as late as I want to, thank you very much!
