oh, the rants are neverending this week

songs enjoyed today:

rainer maria - feeling neglected
mineral - slower
pedro the lion - rapture
the appleseed cast - losing touching searching


for real, the lady who sits near the printer needs to stop telling me that i'm too thin. you might say, "oh, don't complain, you're lucky!"

no. really. stop. objectifying. me.

i guess... whatever, it happens. i don't mind every once in a while. but at least 3 or 4 times a week she mentions it. and she's always offering me candy or cookies. maybe i've also already complained about her.

in any case, after lunch, i was still hungry and then commenced to eat 5 nuggets of chocolate. i then commenced to feel really sick - sometimes sugar makes me feel really yucky. hence why i don't eat much of it.

i walk by.
she: "you're so thin! oh, have some candy!"
::points to huge candy box::
i: "no thanks, i just had a bunch of chocolate and now i feel kind of sick."
::walk to printer & walk back::
she: "oh, well, you're the one that never eats."

.... excuse me? ... are you insinuating i have an eating problem? just because i don't eat all the candy and sugared foodstuffs you offer me doesn't mean i don't eat. i actually eat quite a bit and i am lucky to have such a great metabolism, i know.

i'm just super hormonal right now and cannot handle the barrage of workplace annoyances that are piling up at present.
hormones + stress + work + school = kim-mind-messy

such obsession with looks and appearance can't be healthy in this society. regardless, if i were to take the opposite side and tell her each time i saw her that she should lose weight or stop eating that candy as she's chewing it, that would be a huge social faux pas! even if i took the slant that i was only "concerned" about her well-being.

either way, complimenting how thin someone is and telling someone they are too big, both are just different sides of the same sticky situation - objectification.

and now my eye is twitching.
