Hey Ladies: Everyone Thinks That

You know what I think is strange about women being catty to each other? Well, pretty much everything but the main reason I find it strange is I don't care who a woman is, every one of us has the days where we feel really unattractive. Even the most stereotypically beautiful lady has the body part she thinks needs some work, or a day where her hair just isn't right. I think we should all try and remember that when we are out in public, picking others apart.

Now, I'll tell you honestly that I make fun of people ALL THE TIME. I am the first one at a bar making fun of the girl who has a sleeve of tattoos that mean nothing to her, because she has something to prove. I know that it is not my place. If I were a better person I would just shut up and not judge. But I'm not a better person, and it amuses me greatly. The thing is if I talked to anyone and they were actually a good and nice person, I would not make fun of them. Or I would make fun of them more 'cause my friends are totally fair game too. The thing is I have no ill feeling when someone is the butt of my jokes. I figure if you're out in public making an ass out of yourself, free entertainment fodder you be.

One thing you will NOT be seeing me make fun of is someone's body type or physical attributes. Okay, if someone has a super bucky grill or is wearing something where their gut is hanging out I may, but for the most part I really try to avoid that type of "fun poking." I try to keep my fun poking to really bad personal choices, like mullets and horrible tattoos.

But back to the point. I'm manic today so I realize I'm all over the place. You'll have to excuse me.

When you look in the mirror and you notice a zit, or you think your tummy is pooching a little more today than it was yesterday YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Everyone thinks that. I have never in my life met a woman who didn't have "those days." So don't beat yourself up too hard. I have taken to grabbing my belly and talking with it when I feel extra fat. Sometimes I'll swing the bottom of my arm 'cause I know no matter how many weights I lift, I have fat momma arms. So I will swing them and be like, "I could totally take someone out if I swing that fat hard enough. It's a god damn weapon!"

The next time when you think your thighs are too ripply, or your neck is too long, or your hair is a mess, just realize that EVERYONE has those thoughts. I find that it is helpful when I'm feeling especially depressed, or overwhelmed, or hyper, or anything really, it helps to remember that there are so many other people on the planet at this time, feeling the exact same way I am.

This post started as a "support your fellow woman" and converted not so well in to a "everyone hates their shit too" diatribe. I would apologize, but I'm not really sorry, so that would be lying. This shit is my online diary where I get stuff out when I'm feeling crazy. And when you comment and I get to talk with you it helps doubly more. I love you all for reading, especially when it's something as fractured as this post.

Happy picture of the day: Javier Bardem. Because he's ridiculously talented, sickeningly handsome, and a really funny man. If you didn't see him on Conan last night I encourage you to find the video of it. It was awesome.
