neverwhereI am having a Fat day. The kind where you can't go five minutes without thinking, 'My God I'm so fat' and wanting to puke up all your excess pounds. Or, failing that, hide away in some secluded place where no one, especially not yourself, will ever have to look at your fat. I hate feeling this way. I know I'm not excessively huge, but I'm hardly thin -- and certainly not what society finds acceptable -- but I try not to dwell on it, and think positively; I have a very cute face after all, which is something alot of people don't have. So I should be happy. Right? Well, not today. Definitely not. *sighs wearily*
And continuing with the whingy theme...I have discovered a new Pet Peeve. Does anyone else get extremely irritated when someone replies to a post you made, but never talks to you, just to some other random person, even though you have far more interesting things to say about the subject than the random person? At the moment I am thinking about a certain post I made in a community, where other people went on talking about things *I* love without listening to my comments, but I am hoping that the only reason I am so annoyed is because I am extremely defensive about my Neil Gaiman obsession/worship (I try not to pull a 'holier than thou' attitude with Tori, because I know that far too many Toriphiles think they're the only ones who 'really understand' and love her, but it's just so difficult with Neil. I've been in love with him since 1989, and unfortunately I do rather think I know just about everything there is to know about him. I bow to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ragdoll's wisdom of course, because she actually KNOWS him, but as devoted fans go, I think I'm pretty high up there :) and I feel slighted and a bit hurt that I, with the superior knowledge and heartpounding love, am being ignored. Although of course I'd probably be annoyed anyway, as I hate being ignored. More than anything else in the world. So maybe you should just ignore that last rant. *G*
Bleaugh.
The woman who inspired the delightful Babar books died yesterday. She told the stories to her children, who in turn told their father and he wrote them down. I loved Babar when I was little, and I still do. I hope that children nowadays are still exposed to these wonderful books.
God, this is a depressing entry. Is anyone actually still reading this drivel?

Date: 2003-04-08 04:07 pm (UTC)My mood theme is 'Hobbit Boys', I can send it to you if you want. I really want a new one, as this one has far too much Elijiah (sorry Trinny ;-), but I can't remember how to install it now. *grins sheepishly*
Babar was indeed French -- he was turned into a perfect french gentleman by The Old Lady (who loved him very much) and he then went back to Africa to civilize his friends. But in a good way. *G* I absolutely adored the Babar books when I was growing up, they were always so gently humourous and full of great kindess. Great stuff. :)

Mmmm hobbits. :) *hugggles*

Date: 2003-04-08 04:08 pm (UTC)Yes, I am still reading this - extremely well-written and interesting post.
Have you ever read "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf, by the way? I've just finished reading it. It's very, very good. And I think you might find it helpful.
You're *gorgeous*. And Nick says to say that he says so too. :) And society is a twit if it says otherwise.
You are a Neil Gaiman queen, and no pretenders will be allowed. :)
When are you going to come and see us?
*hugs and love*
Ellyyyyy
no subject
Date: 2003-04-08 04:12 pm (UTC)You and Nick are far too good to me. But of course that doesn't mean you should stop. :)
I have heard of The Beauty Myth, but never actually read it. I've seen Naomi Wolf in several documentaries though, so I almost feel like I have. *G*
I would like to come visit next week, if that's allright with you? Maybe around Wednesday?
*hugs and hobbity kisses*
Re:
Date: 2003-04-08 04:18 pm (UTC)Do, do! It's very good. I don't agree with absolutely every word of it, but the gist and the spirit of it - and a great deal of the detail too - makes a lot of sense, and is kind of inspiring and scary at the same time...

Wednesday would be fabby. Hurrah! Shall we have an IM chat about it soon and sort out the details?

Date: 2003-04-08 04:14 pm (UTC)I am! i kinda phased out through the bit about Neil Gaiman. Just between me and you, i think Neil might do well sometime soon, i've just got that gut feeling that one of his stories might be good ;P
Barbar was good, i can't remember if i was read the books, read them myself or simply saw the cartoons on TV.
Fat day, well i think everybody gets them, or at least a day similar. I'm a bit overweight (or out of shape), though only slighty but still feel like that some days.
*hugs* you sound like you need one.
Actually, i kinda feel like i comment on the posts but haven't talked to you, will have to say hello sometime :)

Oh Jori, you make me feel so happy. *pouncekisses* :)
Only ment to make you feel better
Date: 2003-04-08 07:07 pm (UTC)And seriously, if you want to be cheered up, you have to find the song Goliath by Melanie Doane. I've been listening to it over and over, and it's just so awesome and uplifiting. Or I could be completely crazy. You never know with me. ;-)

Date: 2003-04-09 11:37 am (UTC)No matter what you look like (and I'm quite sure you're just as perfect as ever) you'll always be the spiffiest, most funtastic person I've ever had the privledge to know. *squeeeze*
I like it when you're crazy. It means that I'm the sane one. *grins*
Ditto!!
Date: 2003-04-09 03:24 pm (UTC)*SQUEEEEEEEEEE*
I almost forgot! I have to show you this spifferific item! I know there are a few days left on it, but I so hope I win!
Well take turns being crazy and sane. ;)
Re: Ditto!!

Re: Ditto!!
Date: 2003-04-09 05:56 pm (UTC)OMG! Kitty's in fishnets!!!! I so want that, but by the time I convert to Canadian, I just don't think that I can afford it. Though it is wickedly cool!
BTW, that seller has a ton of nice stuff from Hot Topic and Torrid for really decent prices.
Cheers!
Re: Ditto!!
Date: 2003-04-09 11:40 pm (UTC)That Kitty is so devious. Bwahahahaha. ;-)
Although I seriously doubt that Sanrio (and everyone at KittyWorld in Tokyo) would approve of their beloved icon giving people the finger. *sniggers*

*laughs* I know, we're terrible. :)
But this is different -- we'd never willfully ignore Trinny, especially if she has something important/interesting to say. But I know of course I am overreacting. What with my bad selfesteem day and all, can you really blame me?
*hugs and kisses*
*lick* :D

Date: 2003-04-09 09:19 pm (UTC)Yes, yes we do read and it's not drivel! I hope you are feeling better ;) I know it is hard feeling ignored sometimes, but then you might find out that it's really not true at all! (at least that is what I try to tell myself)

Date: 2003-04-10 03:03 pm (UTC)Any part of society that finds your size unacceptable should have its head examined.
And I agree that being ignored is horrible - you just want to say "hold on, what has that person got that I haven't?" particularly when they're praising the random person for something they did/said that you've done before, or better.
I notice this post is a couple of days old - hope you're feeling a bit better now, anyway.
