He treats me like a unicorn!!!

I get so tired of hearing people say "He treats me like a princess!"  Have you read a book?  Do you even know what that really means?  Are you calling your boyfriend/fiance/husband a servant?  Sure princesses are raised in luxury but I'd say it comes at a pretty steep price.  Call me crazy but I personally have no interest in being treated like a princess.   I don't want to have to smile & wave and pretend that I love this person my parents are selling me to for land or wealth or some title.

(Sidebar: 99% of you who think you are being 'treated like a princess' are actually just being treated like a human/equal, you just don't realize it because all your other boyfriends REALLY REALLY sucked).

 Princesses lives kind of sucked if you think about it and I find it disturbing that this is the terminology that we used to say "I want to be treated like I'm special."   So I am here to propose a better way of saying "My boyfriend is better than yours" , I think we should all start saying "he treats me like a unicorn!"  Because, well if I'm being honest there is NOTHING cooler than a unicorn.  If you saw a unicorn you would be in awe of it,  you would be absolutely enchanted with it and try to make the most of your time together because you know that it might not be there tomorrow.

So the next time you hear someone say they get treated like a princess laugh to yourself and pity the fool.

Stop being an asshat on Facebook (also probably in real life too)

Part I

Hey you! The idiot on Facebook complaining about how you are "SOOOO BORED!",  you are THE WORST.  Let me break this down for you...you are sitting on the internet. If you don't know, the internet contains a MASSIVE amount of information, about damn near everything.  This is like sitting in the middle of the biggest, best, restaurant in the world that literally serves everything and whining about being hungry.   WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  Google something, anything that you are interested in.  Read.  Research.  Watch Hulu or YouTube tutorials or porn!  Look for new local places to eat or drink.  Or here is another idea....just find something to do away from the computer/iPhone.  Don't get online to tell people you are bored, you are wasting time you could use to go to the library or go outside or go to the gym or just sit mindlessly in front of your TV.  Maybe I'm just very easily entertained (I totally am), but I don't see the point of complaining about being bored and it makes me rage like a crazy person when I see people bitching about it online. Put down the device.  No one gives a crap that you are bored.  You are just making yourself look stupid and BORING.

Part II

It's so sad when someone's relationship status on Facebook changes to "single", not because of the person's new-found freedom but because of all the comments that people leave.  I typically see things like "I'm sorry!" or "DISLIKE!" when someone is newly single and it makes me irrationally angry.  Being single isn't a bad thing.  Clearly something SHITTY happened in their relationship and you should be glad they got out.

I don't comment on people's relationship status changes because I know that Facebook will for some reason not let you totally "hide" it when you make a change to it.  99% of the time people are going to get asked "What happened?" or something equally stupid.  Here is a tip: if you don't know what happened there is a good chance that they don't want you to know.  Their good friends, you know, the real friends they actually like and hang out with outside of Facebook?  They know what happened.  They will help them get through it if they are having a hard time.  Stop being nosy, stop trying to find new gossip information.  Trust me, if they want to put their relationship problems on blast on Facebook they will do so without any prompting.  (I have a few of those idiots blocked from my Newsfeed).

So basically just shut your mouth.  If they want you to know what happened they will tell you.  If they are sad about being single they will tell you. If they don't tell you then you aren't close enough to them to matter. So leave them the hell alone about it and go back to posting about how "bored" you are.

P.S.

The sad thing is that the people who NEED to read this never will because they are too lazy to read anything longer than a Facebook status.

summer time and the livin's easy

You know that you are bogged down by school work when you feel like you deserve some sort of medal when you finish it.  And by "it" I mean one class' assignments for the week. I'm currently in three classes..so I should be pretty decked out in bling by the end of micro-semester.  So that's my excuse, school is kicking my ass and taking up most of my time. Thus I have fallen behind in "things I actually want to do for a living" like blogging, painting, and being a professional rollerskate-dancer.

I am about to go help Alden with his summer school work which involves reading 30 books and learning several spelling words.  He also signed up for the Summer Reading Club at the library and if he reads 35 books he will get some sort of surprise.  I have to say I'm pretty jealous, he has read 10 books in the past 2 days and I have only read 8 this entire year.  I wish I had time to sit down and really read "A Clash of Kings" (I'm only on page 300 or so)  but real life boring adult stuff beckons.

So for now I am just going to leave you with some music I've been jamming to lately.  Some of them are old but they are still my summer jams. They are also really random because that's just how I roll.  Maybe you'll find something you like.

This song makes me want to go on a roadtrip.

This song makes me want to read "Lolita" in my yard.

This song makes me wish I had time to play my ukulele.

This song makes me dance my ass off.

This song makes me want so swing on a swingset barefoot. 

(P.S. I'm going to see them in October & I am SO EXCITED!)

I love hooping to this song.

Another dancey song.

Riding with the windows down screaming.

Good summer fun.

Why won't he be my boyfriend? :(

Old school.

They are still my favorite band ever. They will be on every playlist I ever make.

IDGAF.
