...Finding the most perfect job in the universe....and not being able to apply for it because it's on a subscription casting site.
I think I'm going to cry.

Something has been grating against me of late...
I am sick and tired of hearing about clothes, underwear, swimwear, etc "for real women"
I'm sorry?
You can't be a "real woman" if you're not "curvaceous"? You're not a "real woman" in you're a size 6 or 8?
What right does anyone have to determine what a "real woman" is when it is a purely subjective point of view; some people are attracted to curves some are not, yet many people feel obliged to stand up for the 'poor under-appreciated "real woman"'.
Here's the deal: real women in the true sense have one thing and one thing alone which separates them from non-women - they have vaginas.
Shock horror, I know.
I have nothing against women who are curvy but the fact remains that we are living in a society which has an "everybody gets a trophy", coddling mentality and that, in combination with the ever-growing obesity epidemic, means that people who are not "curvy" but overweight are being pandered to so others who are also attempting to justify their ever growing size because they refuse to move more and eat less.
Similarly, I get become equally frustrated by those who claim they are overweight due to genetics or "big bones" or because of medication or a medical condition. The reality, is that a very small percentage of the population actually have a genuine inability to stop gaining weight and/or lose weight, with a much greater percentage claiming they have no control over their weight. Yes, there can be genetic predispositions to weight gain but that does not mean you give into the "inevitable" and eat whatever you what in whatever quantities you want and never exercise. Medications rarely alter one's physical size or metabolic rate, they change your hunger - but even that is partially inaccurate as during clinical trials all changes to the study participant are documented and listed as a possible side effects - anything from weight gain, weight loss, dry skin, mood swings... not taking into effect the other environmental issues surrounding the participant because more often than not those questions are not asked.
They're simple equations (if you are not a member of the exceedingly small percentage of people who are the exception to the rule):
If your input (what you put in your mouth) is lesser than your output (calorie burning activity), you will lose weight.
If your input is equal to your output, your weight will remain the same.
If your input is greater than your output, you will gain weight.
Weight loss is hard, but it is not impossible and it annoys me when people don't even try.

Hmm, lots recently, mainly my brother.
But i hate all the Londoner words for sandwich... i.e. Butty, Sarnie etc.. URGH they make me cringe.
My job... minimum wage, working often 10-11 hour shifts until 4am, boring as shit, hypocritical managers, music so loud it's forming a dent in my soul, and having to serve sambucca, the stickiest, messiest, most disgusting shot drink in the history of liquid.
The fact that finding a nice, kind, interesting, deep, but also attractive gay person whose not camp as the day is long or a whore, is goddamn near impossible.
Those are what are buging me most today...

ARGH GOD DON'T!
Whenever i hear those words i get the same weird feeling some people get when watching injections... urgh!
Another one:
People who CHOOSE to follow a stereotype. My best mate was telling me about a gay guy on his Uni course. Apparently he's about as camp as you can be... Once, he was asked why he was so camp, he replied that he found it easier to be accepted when he followed a stereotype, and acted how most people assume he should act... That disgusts me, as a gay guy, it's people like him that give gay people a bad name.

Moulding to negative stereotypes only enforces them.
I find it rather redundant and therefore I avoid swooping generalisations as much as possible.

guys who drive around in hotted up cars, with the windows down and their music blasting and/or who drive around like a maniac to show off... we all know you're compensating for a lack of something in your pants... GET OVER IT!

People (especially partners)looking over my shoulder or standing behind me reading text messages, my IM screen or whatever I'm writing.
As mentioned on my profile, people who I'm not on an intimate level with taking liberties with my name, worse still is when they continue using the name after I've told them not to (there's one name only 5 people to date are allowed to call me). Actually people mispronouncing my name even after I've told them how to pronounce it. They don't get the hint when I purposely mispronounce their name.
