I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

They have plenty of the vaccine now. That's why I got immunized. And because I'm traveling a lot this year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My god, Enver Gjokaj got hotter in the series finale of Dollhouse. Dushku's looking pretty good too, but that's not where my focus lies.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I hate those fucking Campbell's soup ads. Seriously! 60 fucking calories?

HATE. HAAAAAAAAAATE. I want to write Campbell's and thank them for making it possible for me to eat, like, 35 BOWLS OF SOUP A DAY without becoming a big fat fattie.

Thrive to spite them

You could have one of those frozen meals and the soup and be doing good calorie wise.

You mean 310 calories IN ONE MEAL?!? Nooooooooooooo!!!

Seriously, I want a t-shirt that says "NO, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DIET!" January is the worst for that shit, because of resolutions and whatnot, and all the "I'm so BAAAAAAAAAAAD because I ate a cookie" talk makes me want to punch people in the neck.

And the obsessive diet talk is triggery as hell for me, but I don't tell the diet-talk people that, because it's none of their business and I don't know them well enough to be willing to explain why. (And I don't trust them enough to believe that they would understand why and accept that it's valid.)

But seriously? Eating NEVER makes a person "bad." Unless you ate a puppy or something.

You know the only hard-and-fast rule of nutrition? IF YOU DON'T EAT, YOU DIE. So. There's that.

Thrive to spite them

I just sent them an email saying that their ad is dangerous and encourages an unhealthy idea of how many calories a proper meal should be and that such commercials encourage disordered eating.

Now tagless for your comfort.

When my sister was at the worst of her eating disorder, she would tell me that her max daily caloric intake was about 800 calories. I explained to her that she would get more calories in an Indonesian prison.

Those ad are marketed right at her. Pisses. Me. Off. Mostly because they don't pose them as an addition to a healthy meal or part of a healthy meal. They position them as a meal substitute.

Fuckers.

See, you had the proper response. I just ranted and then got a scoop of ice cream with Hershey's syrup.

And it's gooooood.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Take the Pew Political Quiz and see how you stack up to the rest of the country!

I got 12 out of 12 easily...I listen to a lot of NPR.

I hate those fucking Campbell's soup ads. Seriously! 60 fucking calories?

So very much this!
