Things Men Shouldn't Do Part 2

I know that I said a long time ago I would continue the list of things men shouldn't do (check original post  here). When my phone was destroyed, my list was lost along with it. So I have been working on a new list. So here are a few more things that men should avoid.

1. Hanging out with your girl and the Xbox. Men let me explain something to you. I understand that your favorite game just was released and you need to beat it. That's why you hide away gaming until late at night and can't text back because your hands are preoccupied. Most girls understand that which is why we give you space when the new COD, Halo, Assassin's Creed, or whatever comes out. But let me tell you this: your girlfriend does not want to watch you play video games. It's not fun for her. It's not hanging out. The best you can do is to play with her and actually let her play the game with you. Otherwise it's stupid. And especially if it's a new game, we know you won't let us play. Here is a good comparison for you (or at least I think so). It would be like if we invited you over to hangout with us and our tv was out. Sure you had your phone but you wanted to actually interact with us. But whoops I forgot to say I had to do my hair and makeup. So you watched us do hair and makeup for an hour. You would hate it and complain.

2. Blame it on PMS. Sure this sounds obvious. But I still know plenty of guys who will openly say it to any of their female friends. Women have enough to deal with with the whole bleeding issue. And assuming a girl is at that time of the month is very dangerous. I will align it with assuming a woman is pregnant. Nothing good can come from this situation. Let's give an example of the possible outcomes with a girl Amanda. Amanda had a bad day at work because her boss wouldn't stop making inappropriate comments towards her and just wants to chill with some friends and a beer. Being in a bad mood shows and a male friend comments "Must be your time of the month" or "Holy PMS." Clearly Amanda will be pissed off because she is already in a bad mood why would he feel the need to say something like that? She gets even more upset because she should have the right to be mopey if she wants without some jackass making it worse. In scenario 2, maybe Amanda actually is on her period and if she seems a little PMSy, leave it alone! She's clearly acting hormonal and who wants to piss off someone who may seem irrational? She might just explode and go a little nuts then if she's feeling attacked. There's a chance it's with a girl who jokes around about it back, but she could just be putting on a front when she's actually bothered by it. Just don't say anything.


                 2b. Ask for a due date. I know I said not ask if a woman is pregnant above. I think most men know NOT to do this but just in case, never ever ever ask if a woman is with child. In any sort of way. She could be cooking a bun in the oven or just fat. And no woman ever wants to be called fat regardless of it's because there's a fetus growing or a food baby growing.


3. Comment on women's' bodies. The two issues above can sort of lead into this one. I mean physical appearance in a negative way. Sure you can judge people if you really want. But maybe make sure the girl doesn't know them first. I find that most ladies I know will just to defend any other girl when there is a verbal attack (usually from a guy) about her body. In the US there is a lot of pressure on women to always be sexy and skinny and beautiful etc. Even when you are confident in your body, you can occasionally slip up mentally and find something you don't like. Men don't have quite the same sort of societal pressure as women and cannot necessarily understand how it can mess with a girl mentally. Don't call a girl fat, or ugly, or anything negative when her friend is nearby. You have no idea what that girl has gone through. Maybe she has depression about her weight or is considering anorexia. Sometimes all you need is one rude comment to break you down. That's why girls are supportive of each other to the point of lying: we know what each other needs to hear to feel good about themselves.



This is what I have from recent events. Let's see if I can keep my phone long enough to acquire a worry list to continue this. Have a good week!

Bikini faux pas

Since I have grown up quite the tomboy, I don't understand the need to have pushup swimsuits. I don't, in fact, understand a lot of designs on swimsuits for women. Men don't really have this issue, they can wear one of approximately three types of swim trunks. Which is lucky for them. But women are exposed to so many  unlimited styles of swim wear, let alone the different designs on them. Here are the things I don't understand.

1. Sequins. Sure a few here or there look nice. But are you trying to do anything in this swimsuit? For example, swim? Play beach volleyball? Do anything than show off your body? When the swimsuit is covered with sequins, I feel like it isn't conducive for activity. It seems to me that these would get ruined rather quickly if you planned on doing anything other than lay on a beach towel.

2. All white swimsuits. I understand  that it will make you look more tan. I get that being tan is a big deal in American society because it is considered to be beautiful to be consistently brown or orange. I don't understand tanning (but that's another post) so I understand wanting to appear tanner than you are. But there is something my mama taught me when I was younger and will never forget. It can be awful if it is during that time of the month. Constantly being worried if your white suit will actually not be so white after all. Maybe if you have a plethora of bikinis it would be okay, but when you only have a few (such as myself) then an all white swimsuit is not a staple.

3. Super padded bikini tops. Or just any swim wear top. Yeah let's put those titties out there! But seriously you are already essentially in longerie. That's pretty much putting your breasts out there. Why do you need to have a pushup on in addition to that? How is that functional? Ever tried going down a water slide and plunging into water very fast and coming up to the air and the ladies aren't covered anymore? Pushups don't help that. They make it worse. Playing volleyball on the beach? Better not jump or dive unless you want to flash the other team. I can understand a little padding but have seen some styles this season already with more padding than fabric covering the boobs.

You see I'm not a girl who owns 10+ swimsuits. I have a modest amount and mix it up when I need to. I'm never at a place where I need a new swimsuit each day of the week. I'm an active girl and like my swimsuit to be function rather than sexy. And the bikinis that are only about the sexy, then maybe they shouldn't be called swimsuits. Since you clearly aren't going to do any actual swimming in them. Just call them beach wear or something. You aren't fooling anyone, we know you are just trying to enhance your nearly naked body.

I don't understand smoking

So it's 2013. There is so much information available on how to improve your health and how to avoid unnecessary evils that will harm you and your body. So why do people start to smoke cigarettes still? There are no health benefits for beginning such an addictive and dirty habit. Non-smokers don't enjoy being around people smoking; the smell permeates everything and lingers in the air. You can taste the smoke when you breathe as it burns your tongue. Nonsmokers don't like to date smokers either. The appeal of a potential mate greatly decreases once the individual reveals that he or she smokes.

They say that it is calming or that it is a social activity. I don't understand why you wouldn't just start talking to people without trying to decay your lungs at the same time. We have the technology and the knowledge that this is a harmful act. If you need to be social, pick up bowling or join a book club or go to the bar. There are so many ways to be social without destroying a vital organ. And if you need something to calm the nerves, take up yoga or meditation.

The start of this rant came because someone flicked their cigarette butt out their window at my as I was walking by. Seriously? What the fuck dude? Why on Earth does it seem okay to throw smoldering cigarettes at people? Asshole.

Women stand up for your rights!

I don't know about you, but I try to keep up with current affairs throughout the world. My homepage is CNN and I like to look around to see what's big in the US as well as over the pond. And India is catching my eye.

The lack of equality in different areas of the world is appalling. It's nauseating how people treat each other of different races, religions, or sexes. I know this is nothing new, but there has been lots of attention in the media recently. If you haven't been paying attention, then listen up. And if you don't care, then you are a horrible person.

In December there was a brutal gang rape of a 23 year old woman that resulted in her death. She was a women's rights activist. There were 6 men involved that are currently being tried for the crime, with one of them being a minor. Just think about that for a minute. A woman was raped by 6 different people over and over again in a horrific manner and died. One of the attackers was a teenager.

The Indian media and citizens have been pushing for reform on women's rights. Not all of rape or sexual assault accusations are examined. Many times, they are pushed under the rug. There have been talks and some change, and now they are working on getting rid of a terrible "scientific" rape test. Part of the exam is the "two finger test." It sounds just as awful as it is. In addition to a doctor examining the woman's hymen to see if it is intact (which can be broken by many different ways), they stick two fingers in her to see if she is used to sexual interactions. By their logic, if she is used to this penetration, then she must not have been raped.

This is so offensive. That assumes that only virgins get raped. That married women or other sexually active women cannot be raped. In addition to that, it would be incredibly traumatic for these women to have a strange man put anything into her after being raped. It can cause serious psychological damage. You can learn more about this here. I recommend going and learning more about the incidences going on in developing countries.


Things like these happen around the world all the time, and in many developing or undeveloped nation, go uninvestigated and the woman is blamed or is a liar. This makes me so grateful to be living in the US where I have the right to persecute any attacker and know that it won't be ignored. I know that if I speak my mind, like the Indian woman did, I won't be raped and killed for it. When people start saying that the US is a terrible place to live or that the country is going down the tubes, I automatically assume the don't read the news. Because if they think that living here is so awful, how could they imagine living in these other countries?

Be grateful you can vote, dress how you want, say what you want, go wherever you want, believe in a god or not, and not worried that you're committing a crime or will be treated as though you did. This is a wonderful place to live.

Learn to drive

So I was just minding my own business the other day. Just walking home from dinner or something of the sort. And I had to cross the street. Not a big deal, right? Well apparently it was a big deal to some bitch who was driving. Here is a crude picture of how this was all set up:



So here I am, trying to cross. I get to the intersection moments before the blue car pulls up to the stop sign. I had seen the car was getting close and there was no turn signal or anything. So I thought to myself Okay it is safe to cross since this car must be going straight and thus will not interfere with my crossing. So I walk out into the intersection. The car starts going. Then slams on the brakes and I look over at it as I'm part way through the intersection. And this bitch is flipping me off. Are you kidding me? Apparently she decided to turn right, still no signal on, and couldn't believe that the pedestrian, who was at the intersection first and was following the rules of the road, would bother to get in her way. What a fucking moron. Plus, wherever you're trying to get to, you dumb bitch, you will get there much faster than I will get anywhere walking. SO TAKE FUCKING CHILL PILL. MAYBE IF YOU HAD REMEMBERED HOW TO DRIVE AND YOU A GODDAMN SIGNAL, I WOULD'VE PAUSED LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO TURN AND GO ON YOUR OWN FUCKING WAY.

Reality is Hitting me.

I'm in the stacks studying for exams I have tomorrow. I have my laptop because I have study materials saved on here and in case I need to look something up I can access the Internet easily. But when I'm reading my own notes or printed out review materials, my laptop goes to my screensaver. I love my screensaver. It starts with one of my pictures and zooms out, adding more pictures together into a collage that makes up a picture of mine. The final picture focuses and zooms out and repeats. That might be a bad description but it's the best I can do for this. But it shows me old pictures, recent addition, anything from my screensaver folder.

As I looked up from my lab notebook, the current picture forming was of me and a bunch of older friends I have. It made me smile and then almost instantly sad. All of them have graduated and either moved home or to where their new job is based. All of my older friends are gone, I am now the older friend. I have become the friend getting ready to graduate in the spring and leave all the undergrads. They will skim pictures and see me and remember how things were when I was in college. They will wonder what I'm doing with my life and ask when I can come back and visit. I always ask my graduated friends to come visit and I'll make time for them but they are always too busy with work or graduate/professional school. I am only 7 months away from that. 7 months away from being too busy to see college friends. 7 months away from entering the real world where you pay taxes and can't find a decent drink under $10. 7 months away from being on my own.

Is anyone else secretly terrified like I am? I cannot wait to start my final semester of college and dread the day after graduation.

Appreciate where your friends are.

I find it difficult to blog and get my studies done at the same time. Which is why I've been lacking in blogging recently. I've been working and studying a lot. That said, here we go.

     Going off to college I had planned on finding a school where I knew no one and making a ton of new friends. That way I wouldn't have to interact with a lot of people from high school unless I was at home or really wanted to keep in contact with them. My best friends all went to different schools so that we are all spread out across the great United States. This of course means that we have minimal interactions with each other. Of course we can talk or text or Skype, but it's not the same as getting together for a drink or dinner. And there are times that I miss all of you terribly.
        Starting after our freshman year is when we dispersed even more. All of my male friends got internships from the corners of the country. That's when I began to appreciate the little time we got to spend together. We would only see each other during major breaks or near a holiday. And even then, with our extensive and different schedules, we had even less time to see each other. As time passed, some studied abroad in Europe, others dropped out to start working, others didn't have money to fly home. Now we see each other at most 4 times a year. Everyone is just too busy working or at school to make it home for long periods of time to hang out. I guess this is what growing up is.

     This past weekend, my best guy friend from home came to visit. I was so excited and thrilled to see him because I see him only 2-3 times a year. He lives in California and it is just too expensive to fly to the Midwest that often. So I pretty much ignored all of my other friends when we went out so I could hangout with him. And saying goodbye to him today made me sad to know I won't see him again until Christmastime (fingers crossed).

I have plenty of friends here who live within 2 hours from school. They get to see their best friends several times a semester all the way up to 1-2 times a month. Going more than a month without seeing each other makes them upset. And to those people I say Fuck You. You need to appreciate all that time you have together. We are all growing up and soon will be dispersed across the country. If you are blessed enough to see your best friends that often then you should be grateful. There are some of us who never see our best friends. We don't have money, transportation, or time to see each other. I haven't seen some of my best friends since Christmas last year and cannot wait to see them again.

So basically, don't rant to me about how you never get to see your friends if you actually get to see them more than once every 4 months. Because I will ignore you completely and consider you to be a selfish bitch.

Laundromats

So usually I do my laundry in the facuility behind my apartment. It's a tiny room with very few machines available but it is for the residents of the apartments around mine. But there is no change machine there and half of the time the machines just eat up your quarters. So, playing it safe, I drove several blocks away to a popular laundromat to do wash my clothes.

This is not my first time in one of these places. Sometimes, when we travel, I also do laundry in public laundry service places. And let me tell you. There are some weird people who hang out in these places. I mean I think I'm probably getting grouped into some weird category too, so who the Hell am I to talk, but still.

When traveling, we usually do our laundry late at night to not disturb our day plans. There are some seriously sketchy people who hangout there late at night. And some during the day.

Like check this guy here right now. I'm loading up my washers and look up at him over by the dryers. He's already unloaded his machine and is folding his laundry. Which, for a college guy, seems odd in the first place. Important to note: he's alone. Just him. By himself. The next thing I notice is the 36DD on top of the folded clothes. Uhhh what??? Then I see in his hands a very short, very tight, and very purple slut dress. So either this fellow is a cross dresser and not afraid to show it, or some woman in his life is crackin a whip. She managed to get him to take her laundry, along with his, to a laundromat and make him take care of it on his own. Maybe in the private of your own home/apt that's fine, but to make this poor bastard cart around your skanky clothes and undergarments in public?? I felt bad for the guy. I almost offered to help him find his balls.

The other people I felt bad for today was a group of mentally handicapped young adults. Maybe the boys were adults, or at least around my age. I'm just awful at determining ages. But, alas, it wasn't their handicap that made me feel bad for them. It seemed to me that they had two women who were their caretakers during the day. And the women dragged this group with them so that they could do their laundry. Not the boys' laundry, the womens'. Wow. What a great field trip and group activity. I thought it was one of the rudest things. Making them go with you so you can run errands when they have no authority to stop you?

The serious weirdos don't appear until night. They are usually the old men who have no real place to be and just hang out there because there aren't attendants to kick them out. They aren't doing laundry... But they will watch you do yours. They will watch you walk out to your car and struggle to unlock the door with your bag of clean clothes. Yeah. Avoid those fuckers. Don't go to laundromat after dark. It doesn't matter if it seems safe in the light, everything gets fucking creepy at night.

Rape vans

I have had extended conversations about this topic with my mother. You know those vans, the ones that are usually all white that seem to just prowl the neighborhood. The ones that are always shown in movies with the bad guys hanging out in. The ones with the pedophiles in them asking little children if they want some candy. The ones that whisk people away in the middle of the night. Or day I supposed.

There are laws in several places that don't allow cars to have tinted windows. It prevents officers of the law from looking in and discovering something illegal or being able to identify persons inside the vehicle. If there are laws against having tinted windows, how is it okay for vans to exclude windows?? There is no chance for the cops to even look inside! Why would a personal vehicle not want windows? Windows let in the sunlight and let your prisoner see the gorgeous environment. The also let people see the young woman you have bound and gagged in the back. And if you have a woman trapped in the back of your car and you plan on doing illegal things to her, then you deserve to rot in jail.

I can maybe understand a business not having windows to make it more difficult to see the equipment and no one wants to break into a van to steal something if what is in there isn't even valuable. Criminals only put in the effort to break into a car if they are going to get something out of it. So if they don't see anything worth taking, they will move onto something better. But there shouldn't be anything that crazy in the back of your personal car.

I don't think cars should be allowed to eliminate windows if they can't tint their windows. It's dumb.

"Please pull up your pants and go away."

Double-edged sword

I'm watching one of my favorite shows. Sex and the City obviously. I've got my own Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte in real life. The episode that I'm watching is when Miranda is aware of the difference in salary between her and Steve. Steve gets offended that Miranda can/wants to buy him a suit. And Miranda wants to pay for dinner or lunch for them but Steve won't let her so she always chooses cheap places for food. That way he won't have to spend as much money. It just shows the differences between men and women and the double standards that women have on them. Miranda even said that. A single man with money is attractive but a single woman with money is a threat.
          But it's true. To be a very independent single girl can be rough. Apparently it becomes intimidating. I mean, if you were a single girl you can either be too clingy and needy or too independent and stand-off-ish. Like they hate men and can't live with them in the same world or that they can't survive a day without a penis near them. There is a happy medium. But it's not often shown in the media, or I'm just not watching enough TV recently.
         One of my absolute favorite movies is The Breakfast Club. And even they talk about the double edged sword battling girls. When Claire is being pressure to say if she is a virgin or not, Allison reminds her of this. Granted they are in high school but it still applies to older women as well. If she says she's had sex, then it qualifies her as a slut. If she hasn't, then that makes her a prude. And it doesn't matter if her answer has a justifiable reason, judgement has already been passed. This still is applicable to college aged women and older as well. There is a societal expectation that individuals at that age have had sex but that is not always true. The older a person gets and is a virgin, the more rare they are. A whole movie was made about old virgins. But if a girl has slept with too many people, then she is easy and a whore. There is a fine line between being cold and weird and being a sleazy ho-bag. No one knows where that lines is and I know girls who worry about walking that line.
          Another place where there are different standards is in the work place. A woman can try and go for a raise. But in a competitive market, a woman could be construed as either aggressive or assertive. They seem quite similar, yes? But when applied to a working woman, they can be different. Being assertive is a good quality to have. It implies respect and still having the ability to take charge. While being aggressive shows no responsibility and just a push for dominance. When a woman goes for a promotion they often are viewed only as aggressive. Like if a woman wants to continue to work even after she has had children. What if she doesn't want to be a stay at home mom? Then there must be something wrong with her maternal instincts and she must be broken. I disagree. I know stay at home dads. There's nothing wrong with them. So if a woman is passionate about her career why should she have to sacrifice everything while men get to do whatever they want? I think that a woman can do whatever she wants to do just like a man can. And should be able to do it without the excessive judgement.

None of this is fair. And I know there isn't a lot that is fair for different people. Men will always think they are better and that they can control what's going on in the world around them. Well guess what bitches. Your testosterone gets turned into estrogen so you can have properly developed brains. Oh men are smarter? When can't your testosterone perfect your brain to be functional? Obviously the female hormones are more important. So fellas, shut the fuck up.

"If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, join the club."

We get it.

It's spring break. The time for kids to get rowdy and go down to Florida and get hammered. Some people have money to go to warm places or other countries for a week. You get excited and you have a good time. Great for you. Now shut up.

Not everyone has the ability (transportation or money etc) to go to these awesome places. Some people are forced to work during break. Others have doctor appointments. Some people are busy studying for the MCAT. There are plenty of reasons college kids don't go to Panama City Beach and get blasted.
It's not that we don't want to go have a crazy time with our friends, it wasn't our choice to not go somewhere hot and let loose. We just can't. I am one of those people.

Well guess what, assholes. It is still 70 degrees out here. There is no rain. I get to have delicious and free homemade dinners. I can do whatever I want here still and still relax. That's great that you get to sit on a beach and sip daiquiris. Doesn't mean I want to be update about what you're doing every few hours. I have my own life I am living I don't need to to rub it in my face that you have money to travel and I don't. Or money to eat out and buy many drinks. Sure I'll take a fly by after break. But I don't care for your exotic life right now.

You don't need to go somewhere with a beach or out of the country or on a cruise to have a good time. I have a great time with my family playing ping pong and listening to Chiddy Bang. I've never gone to Florida for spring break. And I think I'm just fine.

Short shorts and long pockets...

I do care. You look stupid. This is similar to the eskihoes post. Not really. But kind of, I suppose.

So there are shorts made for girls (and I guess women too but I wouldn't recommend wearing them) that are of either normal or short length but with long pockets. And by long pockets, I mean you can see the pockets sticking out the bottom of the shorts. I know that they make tiny pockets for most womens clothing, since --SPOILER ALERT-- I am a girl and all, since we usually carry a purse or bag around with us so we don't need all that room in a pocket to carry stuff like how men do. And all the shorts I own regardless of length have relatively small pockets. Pockets that are clearly smaller than these sluts' shorts.
       The thing is though, that you don't find this except with more designer clothing. You know, the clothes you pay out the ass for. So if you are going to throw away your money like that, don't you want to have all the inner workings of your clothing covered? Why do you want us to see where your pockets are? Or what is in them? Because you never have anything in them anyways. How do I know? BECAUSE I CAN FUCKING SEE THEM. No one has justification for this. Except maybe something like "It's fashionable." or how it's "high fashion". Yeah. Right. Like normal people wear that stuff. So you saying you are going to wear stuff like this now?

 Yeah right you are. So you have no good reason why you wear stupid stuff. Unless you are, in fact, stupid.

Well my face mask is now dried. I was blogging while I was waiting for it to dry and I can no longer move my face. I hope this stuff actually works. If not it was under a dollar so who gives a fuck. I look like a bad clown.

Do I look friendly?

I suppose I must. People keep striking up conversation with me when I least expect it. Like when I'm sitting alone in a study cafe with my headphones in. I never really expect people to try to talk to me in the first place but I guess I look approachable. I mean judge for yourself:

 But so here I am just typing away. In basically the exact same spot I was last night. And at the table next to me is the same (cute) gray coat that was here last night. I remember it because there was no owner with it last night and I thought about snatching it but let it be. I figured someone would come back for it. But alas here it was. So a guy sitting at a table on the other side of the jacket was there with his buddy. Side note: the buddy is in my exercise class and we both had the glimmer of recognition and agreement on mutual ignoring of each other. Anyways the guy asks me if it is my coat. And as you can see in the picture, I am clearly wearing a coat. So I say no and he moves it. I say how it has been here since last night and how I was surprised no one had come to claim it. Who leaves without a coat? But I'm considering leaving with an extra one since it is still here. Is that really awful? The guy leaves the cafe area a few times and then randomly comes back and asks me a question. I have my earbuds in so I take them out but still don't understand when he repeats the question. Finally I get it. Do I like jazz? And I do. I listen to jazz all the time when I am studying or doing homework. Apparently there is a jazz concert going on upstairs that he simply must enlighten me on. He even has a pamphlet. But he has to finish his work real fast so he can go watch. I just sort of nod and go back to my lab report. But 10 minutes later when he leaves to go upstairs to listen to jazz, he gives me a wave and says goodbye. Okay perfect stranger. I gave a wave back to be polite.

I don't understand how this happens to me whenever I am in the library. Someone is always talking to me and asking questions. People I have never met before and likely will never see again. I guess I look like a nice person. Little do they know...

Library idiots pt 2

In addition to there being the assholes who won't shut up for the rest of the population who are trying to get work done and couldn't care less about your life, there are the jerks who tempt. So here I am sitting in the cafe -- which is closed might I add-- trying to type up a scholarship application and all of a sudden 6 bitches walk it talking quite loud. Let me address why I am in the closed cafe to begin with: it is connected to our most social library. No one goes and gets much work done because everyone around them is chatting each other up on random things not related to studies. And usually in the cafe area, at least at this time of night, it is relatively empty and people are doing real work and not socializing. So here come these bitches. They plow through the doors laughing, not giggling or a small chuckle, a full on fucking laugh and start searching for tables. Now let me tell you, 70% of the tables are open so it's not hard to find one. But they still take forever and I wish they were further away from me. And what do they bring in here? Not books. Not laptops. Pizza. Fucking pizza. 2 large pizzas and possibly a small cheesy bread. WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE. Now the whole area is full of the delicious aroma of pizza and the sound of the hideous voices.

Is it literally impossible to find appropriate areas to study? I'm just gonna have to curb stomps these jerks. And trust me I've already sent the "Shut up or I'll puncture your throat" stare. When I give a death stare, it speaks volumes.

Library idiots

Here is just a little short rant. It's what I do.


SURPRISE! I am in a library again. This time I would like to rant about all the morons in here. First, your backpack does NOT need its own special cubicle. I understand it is nice to have space for your shit and you may not want to sit next to some random-ass bitch blogging about you, but suck it up. There are like 40,000 people here. Learn to share space or get the fuck out.
          Next, just because you have a room for group studying does NOT mean it is soundproof. Bitch I can hear you shouting about philosophy or whatever all the way over here. But the thing is, I know that's your normal speaking voice. So I guess I feel awful for the other people in that room with you. I know I wouldn't want to be there.
          And for the people who are here with someone else but are not in a room, this is the "Quiet Study" area. So shut up. Stop giggling or go to the main floor. I didn't climb up to the 3rd floor to hear you whispering about who Becky madeout with last night.
          Along with that, I don't want to hear your dumb music playing through your skull. This is the quiet area so me having my headphones in shouldn't be required and even when I just have them on quietly for background noise I shouldn't be able to hear your party playlist. Who the Hell studies to LMFAO anyways? Idiot.

There is a certain etiquette you should have in a library. If you can't abide by it then leave. Go to some social place to study. Hell, even coffeehouses are better than being surrounded by all these fucking loud assholes.

Take care of your shit.

So I have nothing going on. So I might as well write something. And I talked about this earlier with some people but I will do a short thing now.

I don't understand how people don't flush toilets. Especially when they are automatic flush toilets. I do not like it or appreciate it when you do your business but then let it sit there. No one wants to walk into a stall and see your crap exploding in a white bowl. There is no way you can't flush. What... do you like looking at it? Are you some sort of freak like that? Have you no common decency? It's bad even when you just take a piss, because the people who just piss leave it all over the seat. Tonight I walked into a bathroom and 2 of the 3 stalls were full of nasty excrements. THEY WERE AUTOMATIC FLUSH TOILETS. How does this happen? Do you fake out the toilet sensor and then sit back and have terrible diarrhea everywhere? I know you might not want to touch the gross handle, I certainly don't, but you can just use your foot then to flush. Or wave your hand in front of the sensor. OR just not be a pig. Those are you choices. And walking away from your dirty mess is not one of them. 

Things men shouldn't do: Part 1

This is an anti-men rant. No use trying to beat around the bush (where did that saying come from anyhow?) and be mysterious about what I might be talking about today or any bullshit like that. So I just said it. Well maybe not anti-man, but they sure do some annoying shit sometimes. So here it goes:

Things men shouldn't do

1. Leave the seat up.  I mean this may be a subject that has been beaten to death but there are some things that just really need to be fixed. If it's in a man apartment, fine. It is your place and we can deal with it however gross it is. But when you step into a lady's apartment you better shape up. When you walked into the bathroom did you see the seat up? No. Because we are hygienic. Yes. Hygienic. Because guess what, there is back splash and no one wants that in their bathroom. Also, as much as it pains me to talk about it, there is like dried piss on the underside of toilet seats. Why the fuck would you want to see that? Huh? Why would you purposefully leave the seat up forcing the next unsuspecting victim to view that and then have to put the seat back down? Mostly it's just rude. I mean you are in a house where the occupants clearly have manners and leave the seat down and you are in their place so how about you just clean up your act and put the fucking seat back down. Yes I mean to put a period there to emphasize that it is not a request be actually a demand. Because I will call you out on it.

2. Talk about the miracle of childbirth.  Sure, go ahead and talking about having children and how it is such a blessing and everything. Let us know how you think it is amazing how we can create life (just like the big man up top and every other living creature) and watch the process as the cells come together to form a functional life form. But the act of giving is not something you get to have a real say in. You wanna know how all the dads I know acted in the delivery room? THEY ALMOST FAINTED. Yes that includes my father during my birth. Some nurse had to grab him before he collapsed. Miracle my ass. Bro, you are not pushing a 9 pound thing out of any of your orifices. Does a miracle include shitting all over the delivery table? Or pissing yourself? Is it beautiful to watch your wife/girlfriend/one night stand scream in pain for hours while you just sit there and are helpless to do anything but watch? No. It's gross. It's sweaty and bloody and messy. And maybe at the end when the baby has taken it's first breath and the nurse has cleared the amniotic sac out of its mouth, then it becomes a beautiful mess. But the actual act of childbirth is something reserved for women, and women alone, to give their opinions on for it being a "miracle" or whatever. Only those who can experience something can give their opinion on it. I've never climbed a mountain so I couldn't tell you how glorious it is or how it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would. It would offend those who actually have done it.
     Just because the world has been primarily run by men does not mean that they know best or that they know everything all the time. So shut up about the shit you can't know because you sound like a fucking tool and we hate you.


This is all I have right now but I know I will have more to rant about. Since our world is half occupied by my male counterparts I am sure that I will have more to say in future posts. So I deem this Part 1. Who knows how many parts there will be? Maybe there will be a post of Things Men Should Do. I think I'll start new notes on my phone for this...

Get off your phone.

Call me old fashioned. I like handwritten notes and I prefer talking on the phone to texting. I like the effort and sentiment put into letters and I'd rather hear your voice and talk then have to wait around for a short message with improper grammar and abbreviations. I like more personal things. But with the technology we have today, everyone has a mobile phone. And everyone is always on it.
     Which brings me to what I want to talk about: cell phone etiquette.

There are definitely times that you should not be on your phone. Some are obvious like on a date or in a movie theater. There are places you probably shouldn't be on your phone like in class (unless you sit in the back). But something that really pisses me off is when I'm hanging out with someone or a couple people and there is one person who is constantly on their phone. I don't care what you are doing on your phone. You could be texting someone else, on facebook, I couldn't give a shit. Nothing screams "I'd rather be somewhere else" like staying on your phone.

If someone is telling you about their weekend or just telling a story you should be paying attention to that person. You don't need to have to split your attention between listening to your friend and reading twitter. Who cares if you can recite a main point of what your friend is saying if you don't act like you're paying attention. It's rude. Even when you are hanging out with a small group of people you should not be constantly on your phone. You are with people that you supposedly want to be spending time with. If you are with people you want to be spending time with, why are you devoting time to talking to other people? Why are you making other plans? Next time, just hang out with who ever it is you would rather be talking to.

I personally try to stay off my phone when I hangout with people I care about. When I go out to dinner, sit around and watch movies, or just bumming around with friends I keep the phone usage to a minimum. Of course there are exceptions. And if I'm just sitting around my apartment and a pal decides to swing by to say hello and watch a little tv, I'll probably still have my phone out. But once we start talking I ignore any texts I get.

Also, what I do on my phone is my own business. I don't constantly look at your screen to see what you are doing or ask who you are talking to (unless you are rudely ignoring me and just paying attention to your digital world). So I expect that when I am on my phone you don't try to read over my shoulder. No I am not texting about you. Not everything is about you. No I'm not talking about anything that concerns you. So back off.

And I know every household is different, but in my parents' house we don't use phones at the table. Before cell phones we didn't even answer the land line during dinner. So maybe I'm crazy for wanting to interact with the people around me and not some random person telling jokes on twitter. Maybe I'm off my rocker for preferring to have quality time with people instead of half-assing a friendship where I only pay attention if my phone is off.

It's simple. Don't be a jackass. Be respectful. Get some manners.  If you are enjoying yourself, you won't need to be on your phone. And trust me, people notice. Moron.

Beer and Football

So it is Super Bowl Sunday. Also known as the day second to Thanksgiving for the greatest consumption of calories in the year. With the amount of carbs from pizza, wings, chips and dip, and (everyones' favorite) beer, this should not be surprising.
Naturally I want to enjoy the foods of the day as much as everyone else, but I will not act like a fool and be stunned that I have a food baby or how lazy I feel after and wonder why all of a sudden I feel fat and have put on a few pounds or something.

There are so many people in the gym working out since they made resolutions to work out more. And then there are the Spring Break people there trying to get a sexy body to show off on some beach somewhere. So when you chow down today don't be surprised that you have to work out more to get back to where you were last week. If you are really that concerned, then don't be a fatass today.


Also here is another good blog and I really like this entry specifically.

These are not real pants.

With the sudden changes in weather, once again I have been noticing what people have been wearing. And once again it makes me mad.
         Leggings are not sufficient pants! It is 8 degrees out! First of all, there is no way that those leggings are keeping you warm enough to walk out side in this winter weather with those blustery winds. Same goes for tights. Unless you are wearing one warm ass coat or not going outside then I guess it's okay. But I still frown upon you.

And leggings are still not pants and you should not wear them as such.

The thing is too, that we all are going to stare at your ass. You know we are. You have it very clearly defined and it's so impossible to avoid it when we are walking behind you up the stairs. So can you please wear something that covers at least the top part of your kiester?

Half of you dumb bitches don't ever wear the right underwear with it. You wear not thongs and have a terrible VPL (Visible Panty Line). You look like an idiot.

BUY SOME THONGS AND GET OVER THE BUTT FLOSS THING. HALF THE GUYS YOU ARE GONNA GET WITH WANT TO STICK IT THERE ANYWAYS AND THAT'S WAY WORSE.
