Forever regarded as Freaks.

BOO!
scared ya.


I should be doing revision right now.. But i simply cannot find any spare time to ensure i get the grades i want. If i get home at about 4pm each day, i can catch a Horrid Henry double, come dine with me, Jamie's 30minute meals, simpsons, facebook, shower, bed.
it's impossible to squeeze homework into my busy sophisticated schedule. My ideal day would definitely involve a come dine with me saga, they're so boring, yet addictive. Like facebook, i spose.
I love telly.
I was watching 'beauty+the beast: the ugly face of prejudice' the other night. it's about this Bimbo, who hates the way she looks. (Bleach blonde hair; straight, angular nose; pink, glossy lips; huge prominent eyes, massive boobs etc). She's pretty. she loves life. She appears to be a generally nice person, don't get me wrong. But what irritates me is how she sees every teeny blemish, imperfection magnified. She has to eradicate them. This lady is so vain: she thinks looks are literally everything. She wouldn't be happy if she isn't beautiful.
She's spent about £1,000,000 on cosmetic enhancements. That's £1,000,000 that could've gone towards hospitals, feeding the hungry, education in poorer countries, developing cures for major diseases.. I mean, if i had a million quid, i would doubtless spend some on myself. I'm not an absolute saint that goes round lobbing tenners to sick kids. I'd love to make a difference to the minorities of society who are somewhat unfortunate, but on the other hand i'd love a big telly and new shoes. 
What i'm saying, this woman's obsession with her appearance is selfish and disturbing.
I care about how i look but i don't jab myself with syringes to puff up my cheeks. I have mascara and foundation, not falsies and botox. I straighten my hair, i don't wear ratty extensions.


And then this little woman comes on. I immediately see this obvious disfigurement on her face. She has a false eye and a teeny, almost sideways mouth. My first impression: she maybe wasn't very clever, and hates her looks. She had no self-esteem and tried to cover up her face. I couldn't have been more wrong. She was an inspirational, intelligent, confident lady. She's perfectly happy with who she is and wouldn't change it for the world. I think this Susan woman's role-model material for anyone unhappy with what they look like. Susan had cancer when she was just four months old. She got half her face removed and she's had to life with a disfigurement since.
This kind of thing makes you realise how lucky you really are. Just having the ability to walk down the street without anyone pointing or laughing.
I think the UK is waaay too obsessed with the 'perfect image'. Teenagers are unhappy with who they are because the media represents all these beautiful people being so goddamn great, when they're not. they're airbrushed, fake.


Anyway, that's my moan at society over for today.
BYE.

You know what? even when you have zilch to whine about, Blogging is freakin' addictive.
Nothing's really new.
*silence*.
Well, not complete silence, i've got my Alanis CD full blast. But, like, Virtual silence. 
I haven't listened to Alanis in a while.. it's not the sort of music i usually listen to, but i love her voice. it's really weird, it's different. check her out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXCCv5ngyI0


I've started to play the Sims again! My family are doing pretty well, the Ginger one's written heaps of books. And the metalhead's just reached level 5 guitar, so it's going pretty good. But he's been a bit distracted from his studies recently because Corey broke up with Hayley because he's GAY with Lupin! and Lupin got Nirvana-Rose pregnant, so there's a bit of a dispute between Lupin and Corey. Hayley's going through a goth-stage, she's dyed her hair black and wears shitloads of eyeliner. And i think the creepy mexican dude killed the baby. His name's Juanito, he cleans my house from time to time. He is also my postman. Yea, he broke my dishwasher and it burnt the baby.
I'm gunna have to stop paying this guy.

I love the sims. I guess i like the idea of escaping the real, unpredictable world and entering a new place, where everything goes how you want it to. you can design your dream life, control everything, make everything perfect. You can make your sims the image of beauty: big eyes, clear skin, pouty lips. Your Sims can learn new things in seconds, they can get a job and pay for the surf simulator you just constructed in your living room.
Or ofcourse, you can turn things upside-down. Have poltergeists haunt your people, earthquakes, you can make them drop out school, lose their job, break up with their partner, fight  with everyone. You can make them have blue skin and look like the elephant man crossed with an obese smurf just for a laugh. it's pretty funny.


this is Rhi Blake, over and out. :)
