ohvegeta:

I believe that the reason that it’s difficult for the gay community to be integrated into the society at large, the way they should be, is because there are no champions for them in Congress or in the White House. And that is the way every group of people has basically been integrated into the society. That’s the way it works. Instead, you have people like Rick Santorum, a senator from Pennsylvania, who says things, that he should think… and shut his fucking mouth. You can go ahead and think it, that’s fine, but you don’t say aloud that homosexuality is a threat to the American family. Because that’s prejudice. That’s complete and utter prejudice and ignorance on a level that is staggering at this point in time.

-Lewis Black

I totally read this in his voice. oh, and it’s fricking true!

jephjacques: More face sketches of THAT GODDAMN GIRL I KEEP DRAWING. She’s getting less Marigold-esque in the face, I think. Closer to how I see her in my head. Also getting some ideas about who she actually is. Maybe a distance-lover of Marten’s?

yelyahwilliams: magicalboobs: strivingtobehealthy: I think the main, horrifying thing about these airbrushed pictures being distributed, is there has been a lot of media hype calling this beautiful girl fat. It’s like, the media refuses to let her be proud of her body. They’ve even changed her face shape, making her almost unrecognisable. We always rant about how airbrushed photos affect us, but imagine how they must affect the people being airbrushed. Imagine feeling super confident and good about yourself after a photo shoot, and then seeing the end result and realising you weren’t good enough for the magazine. It must be crushing.I remember, when my friend was practising photo shopping, she took a photo of my face and airbrushed it without my permission or even warning me. Personally, I found the un-airbrushed photo of myself more attractive, since it looked like me, but the airbrushed version was so disheartening. She’d changed the shape of my nose, elongated my face and taken out the scars by my eyes and the scar on my chest from my operation. She only did it as light hearted practice for her art exam, but it crushed me. She didn’t realise, and perhaps the photo-editors don’t realise, that by airbrushing out all the little imperfections on my face she made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. The little scars and freckles and the bump in my nose were all things that made me, me, and she took them away.Similarly, by changing Jennifer Lawrence’s body, they’re telling her that no matter how successful she is, no matter how talented she is, she will not be good enough because of the things about her that make her who she is. And I just find that sad. Why are people so afraid of curves? Ugh, this is disgusting, but I can’t say I’m surprised. Stop all this overly abused photoshop madness and let a girl be! Jennifer Lawrence seems so cool and is obviously a babe. WITHOUT ANYONE’S “HELP!” *edit* Saw the comments saying that the original pic is actually the one that got published. Now that rules! Either way, abused photoshop is still an issue that should be called out! Exactly, who cares if it’s airbrushed/Photoshopped/whatever. Either way, I find the woman in then photo to be extremely attractive. Why whoever altered the photo saw the need to is beyond me. Can’t we all just appreciate female beauty for what it is?

Boredom vanquished again! But it’ll be back… Seriously though, this is what happens when I get bored sometimes. I’ll clean something, like a piece of paintball gear, my DVD collection, or something like that. My reasoning behind it is that my mild-OCD must have ADD. I’ll start cleaning something, and just stop midway through to do something else, or I’ll just look at something and go ‘hmm, haven’t cleaned that in a while’

Feeling Moody

Feeling a little down. I could just sit here and listen to Porcupine Tree with rainymood.com in the background all night. I’d probably end up passing out in my chair too.

So I finally picked up a Neo Geo. I saw one at my local game store about a year ago, and I’d lusted for it for a while. Happy belated Valentine’s day to myself!
