So yeah, my finale step in accepting myself is taking my own advice and feeling proud of the way I look by flaunting it. I am way happier looking at these photos and feeling genuinely beautiful than looking at a scale and getting excited when I loose weight. Weight is not a measurement of health, your self worth and definitely not your beauty. Let aloe your right to wear a bathing suit when it’s hot as hell! You earned that body, it’s beautiful because it belongs to you!

The perfect bikini body joke has been going around for while, just thought I’d contribute, not steal someone else’s joke :P

June 18, 1976 - Happy 37 Birthday Blake

The reason I think I've been successful is: as long as I'm out there, people know that they are not the biggest idiot but I'm okay with being myself.

gamerisms: pyroflasher: boycameron: indieintellectual: concerningmishas: I’M SORRY BUT THIS REALLY PISSED ME OFF AND I NEEDED TO VENT. So I liked this page last year for the shits and gigs, as you do. I found it funny, and let slide the few sexist posts. Only recently- and after I got a tumblr- did I really start to notice the abundance of rape, sexist and racist jokes appearing on my news feed. And it pissed me off. I said nothing, however, because what could I do? Send in a message to the page and get labelled a whore and a slut by the Admins as I’ve seen so many people do?  Then this motherfucking gem popped up. I usually don’t get involved in these sorts of things; if I do my comment gets lost more often than not and goes unnoticed. But I had to comment, I really had to. I thought my argument was valid and whole, and I was actually rather happy when he admin directly replied to my comment.  I narrowed down my five favourite games ever and posted them. Of course, I got beaten and labeled down once again.  When I asked for a rational clarification of his definitions of “casual” and “core” he did not reply. It was only when I directly insinuated the bias of his claim did I get a response.  “A feminist I see.  No arguments need to be made. Good luck with getting them eggs fertilized” Note the use of “feminist” as an insult. I have had my fair share of gender specific hate regarding gaming. I get told I am a fake and a bitch if I get a high score; I get told to “suck a dick because you are better at that, bitch” if I get a low score; I get told to “get back in the kitchen, slut” without any prompt at all, simply because I have a vagina.  I am beyond sick of this. I hate the fact that if a male who hypothetically plays a few hours of CoD can be easily called a gamer by the wider community but I if were to say that I was a level 34 on Skyrim I would immediately be called a fake geek girl, a casual gamer and a liar. I hate the fact that, even though 45% of gaming consumers are female, developers and publishers still believe that there is not a large enough demographic for female protagonists. I hate the fact that most women in video games are no more than sexulised objects in skimpy clothing. I hate the fact that I cannot enjoy a game without being labeled and branded because of the fact that I posses a vagina and not a penis. ~sorry about the long post clogging up your dash. I needed to vent~ Off-topic somewhat, but important. why this and i must scream Seriously, this woman literally said that her favorite games including GEARS OF WAR and SKYRIM and the dude can take that and immediately refute it as casual! Why? She could have said that she’s level 47 on Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 multiplayer, has played every Silent Hill game, can tell you the entire back stories of the war between assassins and templars in Assassin’s Creed, and she would still get dismissed because she’s a woman and therefore ineligible for the categorization of hardcore gamer. There are men who live to play games like Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, and Little Big Planet, and women who thrive on Bioshock, Uncharted, and Resident Evil, but the former would never be questioned as being a “true gamer,” while the latter will always have to face guys like the one in the Facebook conversation who question their gaming prowess. It just goes to show that matter what, if you are a woman and you say that you play video games, there will always be some male douchebag heckling at you, saying that you are not a true gamer and will pull arguments out of their asses to make them feel like they have a right to bully you.

“Dear Lily and Marshall, I don’t know if you know this but I never took your names off the lease. Well today, I took my name off it. The apartment is now yours. And I think I finally figured out the best thing to do with Robin’s old room. See for me this place had begun to feel a little haunted. At first I thought it was haunted by Robin, but now I think it was haunted by me. Well no ghost is at peace until it finally moves on. I need a change and I think you do too. This apartment needs some new life so please make our old home your new home. It is now ghost free. Love, Ted.”
