Ninety

[bunnylove]

Wednesday was my grandma's 90th birthday. Honestly? None of us thought she'd hit 90, but here we are. We went down to have cake and stuff and she seemed to enjoy it. Afterwards mum and I had dinner at my aunts and it was nice. We haven't seen anyone since... Christmas I think, so it was a change. I also talked to my great aunt (she lives in California) whom I haven't talked to since I was about 13. Scary how time goes by.

Yesterday was my first day back at work since Coda and I was alright. I wasn't quite with it, but I didn't burn anyone (or myself), so that's a plus. When I first came in an told S what happened I cried, but thankfully I didn't lose it in front of any customers. That would have been embarrassing. So far I haven't lost my cool with any customer, although there are some times that I'd really like to.
ove rall I'm doing alright, not great, but alright. It hasn't even been a week yet and in some ways it feels like it happened 100 years ago and then sometimes it feels like just one day. Eowyn still seems alright, she's been bouncing around and all that. I'm sure she's figured it out by now (either that or she's more of a blonde than I thought).

It's scary how much celebrity pictures are air brushed. I mean we all know it, but then when you see the original versus the finished one it's amazing. Some of those pictures are perfect just as is, but of course Hollywood frowns on things like wrinkles, freckles (except Jensen's), moles, saggy skin, flab, pudge, small boobs ect. Bah. Stupid media.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow, but at least I know that after tomorrow's shift I get a week off. I asked to have it off because I have 14 art assignments to finish. Most of them are easy and not hard, but they just take time. I'm just happy I have enough vacation hours that with the ones I'll be using next week I'll still have over a week worth of vacation to use.

I have successfully watched every episode of Gilmore Girls that has ever aired. :D Now I can watch all the new eppys when they air and if there is a season 8 then I can watch that.

Rainbow Brite on DVD!!! :D

EEEEEEK, that is seriously scary. Omg, that makes me feel really good looking at those pics.

Ha, I was going to say that too. I feel a lot better about myself after seeing those pics.

90 is pretty amazing.

I'm glad you're all right, even though I can't imagine how much it still hurts. All right is at least a step. *HUG*

It makes me sick how they alter those pictures. And on every single on of them they taper their waists/arms/hips etc even when they are beautiful and slim to begin with. Why? It's no wonder we all have such rotten self-images. Stupid, stupid media indeed.

OMGYAYGILMOREGIRLS!!!! All I ask is that they fix Luke and Lorelai.

[leggyslove.livejournal.com]

Yes, I want Luke and Lorelai together and then they can have a baby, because I'm sure Lorelai preggers would be hilarious.

Dood, I'm annoyed at how much they airbrushed Kelly Clarkson. Cause hello she was voted American Idol by us, as in, we like her the way she IS. Dumb twats. Plus, her ass looks a whole lot hotter the way it is. It annoys me that they made it smaller, lol. And shoot, I'd airbrush some of those a different way (Nicolette Sheridan's and Beyonce's for example) and a lot of them not at all. Cause hello, Naomi Watts and Brittany Murphy looked spectacular as is.
Stupid Hollywood. It'd be so much better if *I* were in charge. ;-)
Yay for gramma and WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!! For Rainbow Brite!!!!

Hollywood really has gotten out of control with this whole image thing. You're too fat. You're too thin. You're too short. You're too tall, ect.

I'm glad you are doing better...it's just going to take some time...time heals all wounds.

I agree with you on the airbrush thing...that's why society now is having such a hard time with anorexia...we are all so focused on looking perfect that we don't care what the consequences are to achieve that.
