“I've got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before 'thin'. And frankly, I'd rather they didn't give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls.” ― J.K. Rowling“By choosing healthy over skinny you are choosing self-love over self-judgment. You are beautiful!” ― Steve Maraboli“Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” ― Kate Moss *** Let me start off by saying that Kate Moss is a fucking idiot. I've been there. I've worn her size 2.

Sure, I had written boring essays for school before. I had written some stories, too... but no one had ever seen any of those."That's not all," Mr. O'Donnell said from the front of the room. "After everyone's...
“I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.” -Albert Einstein“In youth we learn; in age we understand.” -Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach◊ Ok, here's the thing about me and blog tags: I usually ignore them. On the rare occasion that another blogger writes a post about something and then "tags" me to tackle the same topic, my normal response is to read it, possibly comment on it and then go about with my daily scowling and mocking. However, I have been known to play along when the topic is interesting enough, if I think that I might be able to have fun with it, the planets are in the proper alignment. It also helps if I'm kind of drunk. So it was that my friend Stephanie, on her blog, called me out when she wrote a rather cool post in the form of 3 letters - to her past, present, and future selves. So I said, "giddy...
