I’ve decided there are a few things I need to stop talking about, so I’m getting it all out here before shutting up for awhile.  My boycott list, in no particular order …

certain people

I realize on the scale of one to vague, that’s super vague but I’m leaving it at that. I know I said I was getting it off my chest, but that was getting it off my chest — I need to be OK with feeling if-y towards people, whether they are friends, coworkers, family, aquaintances, or whoever.

talking about weight (mine or other peoples)

I’m so sick and tired of weight being an issue all the time. All the time. I can barely have a casual conversation with another woman without the topices of weightloss or calorie counting, exercise, or fitting into clothes is brought up. it’s like we’re fucking programmed to to qualify our choices all the fucking time.

I worked out this morning so it’s OK for me have four slices of pizza or when you see someone look over at your cutting into cake left in the office kitchen and say something like I have a weakness for buttercream (and who doesn’t really?) –why the heck should I justify to them why I’m doing anything, if they are judging me for eating, then they’re bitches/jerks.

OH and…I’m also sick of having to applaud everytime some fashion magazine decides to put a chubby looking actress/woman on the cover – why should I bow down just because you decided to feature someone who should be featured anyway …in fact I find it insulting when a chubby, curvy, full-figured actress is featured and that’s how they spin it, like she is amazing in spite of her cellulite and her cankles, her talent had nothing to do with it?

Roar, this topic really does tick-me-off.

my facebook and twitter habits

I like it. Get over it. My day-job boss likes to make the joke that I’m the “head twit” because of my twitter habit. I know it’s her poor attempt at a joke that no one yet has laughed at (she has made this joke many times at committee mtgs and in the office) but it’s really annoying that people think it’s OK to take jabs at things people are interested in especially when it involves some sort of new media. If my interest in something makes you uncomfortable that’s your issue to deal with.
