These past couple of months have been a whirl wind. I feel like I have dropped off the end of the world because of how busy I have been. I hate when I am so utterly busy that I can not have a lazy day. The best thing in the world is being able to cuddle up in blankets with people that I love while reading books and watching movies. During these days, the one rule is no being productive. I wish could have had more time for those kinds of days. I think I signed up to do too much to tell the truth, and I am paying for it because my creativity juices are dried up and there is a drought happening in my imagination. With too many leadership positions at school, I have found that with my free time I want nothing to do with reading or writing outside of assignments, and I have a lot of those due to me being an English major.
So, with that said here is the catch up in my life. This year, I work as a Residential Advisor at my college, and I love it. There are challenges that I have had to face because of this job, but it is so rewarding, and I would not change it for the world. I have a wonderful boyfriend that has visited me these past couple days in my neck of the woods. Showing him around my hometown and seeing his reactions to it all was amusing to say the least. I also am a leader in a couple of student organizations that kind of suck up a lot of time, and produces a bunch of stress, so maybe that is one of the reasons why I am not writing. Or maybe I am becoming a hermit again with my writing and do not want people to read what I write anymore. I am probably confused about it all. Yep, I'll use that.
Right now, I am watching the Miss Universe show with my mom, and it makes me so sad...maybe angry as well. All of those girls are super skinny with long curled hair. Making them also wear bikinis is just wrong. Wearing those bikinis and walking down that isle reminded me of the Victoria Secret Winter Show, and that is not right. These girls should not be tall and thin like a model. Almost all of them look the same. Where are the real women with curves, and short hair. Being a lady who has had a pixie cut and loved it makes me wonder if this Miss Universe thing is keeping the women down. I want to see women with piercing and tattoos. I really don't care for this, but I do believe that they should show women who aren't afraid to accept the fact that they have child bearing hips, which no woman should ever be ashamed of. They also have their make-up done the same. Where is their personality? How do they usually do their make-up or do their hair? When women are in these pageants, I always hear comments about "I am not plastic" or "I don't want people to think I am stuffy or a barbie", and all I can think is maybe you should stop dressing like one and start being human. Yes, they talk about their interests, but I think that is not enough. However, my thoughts are not important to most, and not everyone has the same way to go about a situation. Like some say, "there is more than one way to skin a cat." These shows are also getting cheesier and cheesier. Talk about gross.
Thanks for reading my rant. You now may go on with your life.
