Blah... Man I have been doing lots of Quizzes

Nov 06, 2005 22:34

Ok so I just looked at my journal I just realized I have been doing alot of quizzes recently, they have been fun, but I wonder why. Could it be because I am escaping from my life, though thinking on something else? I have not been ranting and raving as much, not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. I don't know... we have been watching the L word second season, I HATE the new theme song and Intro, the art and photography are good but overall, well it sucks. I have been thinking about cutting my hair again, Wow it was a short time to decide this again... I don't know about it. Maybe I should wait, and consult my fashion advisors, i.e. Jewel and Shana. I am also considering changing my wordrobe around, finding something that makes me feel pretty. The only problem with that is I do not know what that would be. I love the look of old vintage type of clothes and the look of them, though I am not sure they would love, or even be kind to me. The killer is that though Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 when she was a major actress and pin-up, it seems like fashion, or societies fashion is so out of touch with what most women look like and what we want. I realize I am preaching to the crowd here, but I can not help but feel not matter how we feel about this, nothing is going to change until we the consumers vote with our pocket books. Sure there are stores out there that cater to the "overweight" FAT women, though who can afford 35-60 dollars for jeans, and 30-40 bucks for a shirt is outragous. Maybe we as a people need to look into our resale shops, look to our sewing machines, and do the work ourselves. I know that this is not a popular idea, and that for working women this seems difficult at best, as I realize I am a bit of a hippocrate, I do not sew our clothes, though I would like to, I am however working on buying more things at resale shops, and local stores, or atleast localish corperations, like we shop at Kroger ans HEB, as Koger is headquartered in Houston, and HEB is based in San Antonio. We do not for the most part shop at Wal-mart, if we really can't find it anywhere else, or for the worst, there is a monitary reason need to purchase it there, but we feel guilty as we do. We are trying to live a better life, i.e. more natural foods, natural soaps (as I now chemically sensitive), more natural cleaning products, unfortunately processed food is cheaper, and sometimes it is just easier to just pick up something at the store, or worse a fast food place. Though we try and we push through. Hopefully things will change and we can continue to simplify and change our life. Well ok I think I have done my rant for the day... wow didn't nessacarily mena to do this now but oh well.
