The dogs have been fighting a lot lately, and I have no idea what to do. It's usually Yoshi who initiates it, so I've tried everything with him from a firm "no", to a light tap on the nose, to actually kicking him cuz he's snapped at me or Mr. Pip. I don't want to use violence at all, as I don't believe it's the proper way to deal with any situation, especially with animals, but nothing is getting through to Yoshi. I'll put his muzzle on him when he growls and he still does it and stares me down. I think they're just fighting over rank in the household, but a lot of it could be that they're not neutered. Mr. Pip has a fine temper, but with some breeds they get really grouchy and want to fight. I think that's Yoshi's problem, and as soon as our newly purchased health insurance for them kicks in, we'll probably neuter Yoshi. Has anyone had problems with dogs fighting before?? I shouldn't have to be scared of my own dog, and I don't want Mr. Pip being attacked when I'm not at home. I'm very open to any suggestions or advice.
Though this is the last day of winter break, it feels like it's the start of a brand new school year. Maybe that's because I didn't really go to class or put in a good effort last semester. I'm really excited about this semester, and I hope I can stay that way until the end of April. My parents took out a loan to pay for my second semester, and it would be a slap in their faces if I didn't try my hardest.
I want to be anti-social lately. That probably makes me a bad friend, but I've been feeling very independent lately. I keep getting invited to see movies and go partying, but I have very little interest in most movies these days and none in partying. Maybe I'm finally making the changes that I've been attemping for so long now? I don't need to party or fit in to be happy, like I've been trying to do. 90% of my friends are like that, but it doesn't mean I have to be. And I'm definitely sick of people trying to turn me into more of a girl. I know people mean well when giving me tips on what clothes to buy and how to do my hair/make up, but let's be honest here. I like my value village clothes; they're cheap and comfortable. I don't like my tits hanging out of shirts, and I certainly do not like tight-fitting clothing. I don't like that going to a bar or club automatically means short skirts/tight jeans/slutty shirts. I'm there to have fun, and I can do that in my jeans and sweater. I don't like the assumption that women are supposed to dance like whores either. I do the funky chicken, and believe me, I'm having more fun than you are grinding some gross guy you don't know. I don't like to wear make up often; it takes away from everyone's natural beauty. I wear it ocassionally to enhance what features I already have, not to try and turn them into something else. I don't need to have pin straight hair or make it look girly all the time. I like getting out of the shower and just going. Have fun in a few years time when your hair starts falling out from the hairdryer/straightening iron and mine is still thick and shiny. I don't need to wear high heels to look nice. I personally can't stand wearing them, and my feet will thank me when they're not bent out of shape later in life. I don't need to drink a lot to have a good time, so step pressuring me into it when you know I'm weak and a pushover (note to self: work on confidence and self-assertion). Yes, I live with my boyfriend of 3.5 years, and yes we have separate bedrooms. Stop acting so shocked and get over it. Yes, I'm religious, and no, I won't ever try to shove it off on you. I have a chubby tummy and big hips - all the better when I have babies. Yes, I do plan on losing the weight, but no, I will not make a big deal out of it. So stop judging me when I opt for some fast food once in a blue moon.
I'm just so sick of people trying to turn me into something that I'm not. Accept me for who I am.
1. Build a little confidence
2. Be yourself
3. Love yourself
4. Life will be beautiful
