Chaotic Insanity

I mean, why do Americans always get so crazy about their government people having affairs? Yes, it really lacks integrity, and it really does make liars out of them, but... politicians lie about everything else! Why drag their bedrooms into the mix? I've never understood it, especially when it happened with Clinton, and they wanted to impeach him for getting blown in the office. Like that's never happened before, or since.

And then what was all of this about the scandal coming out in order to disgrace this CIA guy so that he wouldn't be able to take the stand in a case? Does anyone know anything more about that part of the story? And if it's true, why are Americans so prudish and let sex ruin everything?

Another thing I don't get is why Toronto puts up with the Ford brothers. They keep saying how they're trying to get rid of the "gravy" of politics, but all they do is just that! Using city transit for transporting a football team that one of them coaches? Stating that a trip to the States would not cost Torontonians a cent, then saying, "oops, sorry, yes it will"? And now this, the whole libel suit against him - who the hell do you think is going to pay for that?

I hate politics. I can write it real good, but I really do hate the whole political lying, and that there's no such thing as integrity in the government anymore. I know that Canada and Mississauga have their issues and their own brand of idiots, but these are the two cases that really have been chafing me lately.

From now on, every time I'm on LJ, I'm going to filter my friends page to exclude all ATLA and ALOK communities. The wank over ALOK is just getting stupid, and I don't want to have any part in it whatsoever. Why can't anyone just enjoy something nice for a change, instead of pounding sand on everyone else while picking nits over nothing?

I understand that no one likes change, and LJ's comment layout is odd and disarming, but the only way to make the point heard is to be clear, concise, and calm about it. Freaking out, trashing LJ, and cussing up a storm does little to solve the problem.

There are ways to make your points known without freaking out. LJ is a tool, but it's a democratic tool. If enough voices rise up and make the point without shrieking, then I have no doubt that the changes will be reversed.

LJ is also a tool that undergoes changes by its owners. These owners are people, too, just like all of you who are so upset. And yeah, I'm not overjoyed, either, but this really isn't the way to handle things, guys. Cursing LJ, the owners, the creators and so on, really seems, to me, bad taste, especially since many of you use the service for free.

DW is definitely a good option of you are unhappy with the changes. They have a classic look and an easier navigation, and right now you can register without a code for a week or so. If this is the last straw, by all means hop ship, and come join me here. But the entire page I just read of intense rage over this change, while understandable, seems like a slight overreaction.

You are free to disagree, really you are. This is just my point of view. But really, I just think if you're all concise about it, the point will be made without degradation on both sides, you know?

BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW HOW THERE ISN'T ENOUGH SPAM ON MY JOURNAL.

When entitled people bitch about things not being perfect enough for them.

Yes, it totally sucks that LJ was down for several days last week. But put things into perspective for once, would you? While it may have been unwise to sell their servers to Russia, that doesn't mean they deserve to have their servers attacked with DDoS due to censorship spats. No server, no matter who they are, deserves that.

So whining that LJ should do more about it, that permanent accounts should get cookies, that paid accounts should get gold, is ridiculous. Permanent users, you all had a one-time fee, and you get more than what paid members get; I think it's fair for those of us who pay to get compensated. However, paid users, that doesn't mean we deserve more than two weeks - two weeks is GENEROUS, since we were only inconvenienced ONE WEEK. I wouldn't start looking gift horses just in the mouth if I were you.

You know, all I could think of while watching this was how most of what he was saying here could be applied to The Last Airbender.

I mean if you replace Claw with Ozai, it's pretty much all true. Seriously. Just replace it all with stuff from TLA and you have it. I'm freaked out a little. Someone should reshoot this as a TLA review.

Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that doesn't give a fuck about it?

Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that accepts it? That realises that it's just a part of who I am?

Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that would rather focus on more important things, like love and respect and a good book, than how many people think I'm pretty or want to fuck me? That my worth is not - and should not - be based on how many people look at me? That there is more to me than what you see?

Am I the only chubby woman in the entire world that accepts that some people are just fat? And that no amount of help, asked for or otherwise, will change that, because that is just how they are?

Am I the only chubby woman who does not feel threatened or mean-spirited about other women who are thinner than me? Who does not bitch about being fat all the time? Who is not obsessed over what she eats unless it involves my health? Who will never judge a woman fatter than me?

Am I the only chubby woman who will never gloss over my being a chubby woman? Who resents it when people tell me, "Oh, you're not chubby/fat/overweight" out of some kind of preconceived consideration for my feelings, when my feelings won't be hurt if called any of those things?

Am I the only chubby woman in this entire world that was once skinny and preferred to be able to eat things I liked rather than denying a few pleasures just to be what people want me to be? That loves a good cake and is never sorry for eating it? That will never apoligise for having a second helping of pie if I can?

People are different. We all are different. So why am I the only one who seems to get that this also includes weight?

I AM FUCKING HYPER RIGHT NOW.

I DO NOT KNOW WHY.

I was trolling fandomsecrets (a little)? That is always good for larfs?

FUCKING GREEN TEA. MAKES ME INSANE. PLUS FUCKING BAGELFULS. HOLY SHIT.

Speaking of shit, I had a hyena one an hour ago. BARIUM MAKES YOUR POOP SNOWY.

FUCKING JOIN ME IN FUCKING CAPSCHAT. OKAY?!

No, I didn't write this secret. Yes, I find this funny, because seriously, am I the only one to use this icon?

But I wish the troll would just admit who they are and just hash it out with me instead of being a backhanded coward and spewing personal garbage all over the place about me to people who don't care.

Granted, I'm pretty sure I know who it is, and if I'm right? Wow, that's sad. If I'm wrong, well, it'd be nice to be proven wrong, actually, because if I am right, it's getting stale fast...

ENJOY THE WANK EVERYONE.
