the fat girl goes to college

so, i haven't really been paying attention to my blog, and i came back and read some of my comments. wow...i didn't know that so many people would find my being fat so...i don't know, offensive. i don't think i'm promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. in fact, to be quite honest, i don't think my blog is popular enough to promote anything. i call myself fat because it's who i am. i think everyone is great the way they are: if they want to be fat, fine; if they want to be skinny, that's great too. i really don't care. i'm not saying that being fat is good or okay, but right now, it is a part of who i am. it's just a title, and if it offends you and/or your children, block the site. you'll never have to see it again.

so there.

about tropic thunder: i just thought it a bit distasteful and i exaggerated a bit to get my point across. call me overly sensitive, but that just kind of crossed the line with me...

oh and breaking dawn was good. the ending was a bit of let down for me, but eh. just thought my bloodlust would be satisfied with a bit more fighting.

oh, and to my bff "potatoe": no full body shots, sorry. the sexiness would just disintegrate your brain cells upon viewing. ;)

so, i was home today after hanging out with my roommate to-be, when i stumbled on one of my favorite tv shows of...well, ever: yo gabba gabba.

if you're not familiar with the show, visualize a somewhat avant garde, new-breed of barney type characters frolicking around, but teaching kids valuable lessons, like to look around before crossing the street or that it isn't good to eat a sandwich after it has fallen on the ground. i make these statements with absolutely no sarcasm intended. i do firmly believe that these little things should be taught to little kids, and this fun technicolor romp through the imagination is just what the doctor ordered. well done, nick jr.

in fat news, buzz has been stirring about the new playstation game, fat princess. my understanding is that a key part of the game is searching for dessert items to feed to the opposing team's princess to "fatten her up" if you will. huh. i guess, as a fat female, this figure is supposed to represent me. like, me sitting on my ass eating sugary sweets and such. actually, that sounds like fun...

but in all seriousness, this is (i apologize for the language, but there's no more accurate description than this) some fucked up shit. when are we going to stop making fun of fat people? seriously. when will it stop being okay? last time i checked, it's not okay to make sexist or racist jokes, but it's fine to make sizist remarks? whateve. you know, i have a solution: boycott sony till they get rid of this bullshit. its time to take a stand. what do you say?

oh, and big fat blog also has a post regard the scandal if you want to read some more fat perspectives.

after reading some of the reviews on the site, some of you guys are just dying to get to know me better. i do have a picture up on the upper right hand side of your screen, but i try to stay anonymous for my safety and that of my friends and family. besides, doesn't a little mystery keep things sexy?

anyhoo, i've decided to take some measures so that you all can get to know me better. first, i have placed a cool widget thingy on the sidebar from the coolio peeps at last.fm. this is a radio thingy of music from my personal collection. now you can listen to what the fat girl hears twenty four-seven! *cheesy thumbs up signal*

i've also put a link to my profile page at last.fm in my blogroll so you can stalk me...musically...

the following is "the ultimate myspace survey." yes, i know this is not myspace, but the questions give a good basic feeling of what i'm all about. enjoy!

first off, thanks to the peeps who commented my last post. it really feels good that i have touched someone with my blogging, and i hope to keep it up. in fact, this is actually my third blog - my first (also on blogger) was started in my sophomore year of high school. when school got to be too much of a burden for me to keep up with it, i had to abandon it. last year while i was going through a really bad breakup, i kept a blog on myspace until around 10 days ago when i decided to move back to blogger in order to reach a larger audience, have better customization options, and all that cool junk that comes along with blogger...so yeah. i decided that, rather than just picking up on the old blog, that it might be a good thing to start from scratch. so, the fat girl goes to college was born.
