Loving Myself Is Hard

Self Acceptance is a constant struggle in a world constantly telling you, you aren't good enough, thin enough, pretty enough, smart enough, funny enough.

But I'm working on it.

Things and Stuff

In the Great Purge of 2013, I shall be selling all my Disney Villain collectibles.  I have several porcelain Maleficients, and an evil queen from Snow White as the crone.  I’ve also got some Beauty and the Beast porcelains.  

Good and bad news:  on Ebay I cannot find any of the pieces I’ve got for pricing.  Good: they’re probably hard to find.  Bad:  I have no idea what to charge for them.   

I’ve also got some Noritake china that is apparently next to impossible to find in the US, because again with the no listings.  I’ve got a pale blue porcelain picture frame with white flowers and gold around the edge, a set of poinsettia cheese knives, and a pair of the Tapestry Rose 13 oz mugs (those I can find prices for).  I might actually keep the mugs, I like them.  But the frame is so outside my decor as to be completely alien.  

That’s about it.

Having problems finding a lipstick color for your cosplay? Look no further. I just found someone’s video tutorial on how to make lipsticks out of crayons. In the video she says that she found out that all of her favourite lipsticks had lead and that she found out that she could make lipstick out of lead free crayons. The entire time I was watching this video, I thought that it would work amazingly for someone looking for some cerulean blue lipstick for Vriska or Jade green lipstick for Kanaya or maybe some other cosplay character who has a weird lipstick color. In the video she also says that you could mix crayon colors to make weird colors. 

I don’t even wear lipstick ever, but learning you can make it out of crayons now got me all excited to try it. o-o

As the guy that always gets drafted to do make-up for theatre, this pleases me in ways I’m not comfortable admitting in public.

Ugh.

Well, spent all day yesterday clearing shit out of the house.  And did a run today.  Then came home, went through a bunch of my shit and threw out ALL THE THINGS.  I need to dig out a photo album and put all the photos I’ve found in it.  Then I need to find a place for it to live.  I’m also going to purge stuffed animals.  I know, I know, this will upset Stabbing Contest to no end, but we have too many and several of them I don’t really care about.  He’ll have to get over it.  

I’m exhausted, but my desk is cleared off so I can use it.  We had to get rid of my chaise, but we went to scout at Goodwill and they had a couple possibilities for chairs to replace it.  

We have a new room-mate.  She seems pretty awesome.  The Enemy of Sleep has a gash on her cheek and is mad at me because I held her down and put Neosporin on it.  I think she pissed off the Mutt.  

That’s about it.  I should grab a shower before StabbingContest gets back from the store and starts dinner.  

We found some of the weirdest shit that my mom’s been saving.  At least once a day my sister or I yell, “The HELL, Woman?!”

If you’re feeling a bit low today, have some cute kittens. Kittens don’t judge. They just purr and are fuzzy and are love. So take a long look at the kittens, take a deep breath. Whatever is your struggle today, you can make it through til tomorrow. And tomorrow will take care of itself.

“Why is the term “friend zone” so popular when the term “unrequited love” already exists and is more accurate? I suspect it’s because it shifts the locus of responsibility. “Unrequited love” focuses on the person who has the crush. The feelings being discussed are the crushing person’s, thus the responsibility is on them to get over their crush and move on. “Friend zone”, on the other hand, focuses on the crush object’s choices. The phrase erases the agency of the crushing person. All blame for their pain is put on the crush object. “Unrequited love” is something that can happen to both sexes, but “friend zone” is a sexist concept that implies that women are solely responsible for men’s happiness, and not men themselves.”

Half the time it’s not “unrequited love” anyway - it’s thwarted lust.  And that makes the dudebro’s doubly pissed, because they believe they are entitled to stick their dick in anything they find desirable.

Maybe the same way Christians are taught to hate gays, your father and I have taught you and Jacob passively to hate stupid people.

Maybe?
