True true, but in schools we tell girls that they cant wear stuff witha  certain amount of skin showing because it "distracts men"

The fact that society teaches women that they can't wear whatever they want because of men.

Just because I decide to wear shorts that are short, doesn't mean I'm doing it for guys. Ohohoh, no. I wear they because they match my style. And frankly, they're pretty cute.
But apparently we teach our children that just because I wear them means I'm open to any kind of harassment.

We seriously need to teach our children (boys and girls) that we can wear what we want, and to keep their hands/ eyes to themselves.

Seriously.

Spoiler: show

People who insist on backing into parking spaces. People who insist on holding up traffic for this bizarre little theatrical stunt wear at my sanity like nobodies business. When asked why they insist on doing this they usually reply with "It's so much easier to just pull out of the space."

Well, yeah. I don't dispute for a second that driving forward out of a space is easier than backing out, but that's not what we should be comparing. Either way you have to back either in or out. So we should be comparing the difficulty and time consumption of backing in vs backing out.

Now, for the sake of maintaining my demeanor I'm going to explain this scenario using an analogy that's very near and dear to my heart: an ice cold can of Diet Coke. Imagine cracking open that delicious can of sweet nectar and letting it flow from the small hole in the can into the much larger hole that is your mouth. Easy and satisfying, right? No then - try imagining spitting that mouthful of coke back into the small hole in the can. That was much less easy and much less satisfying, right? Harder to aim, probably some spillage, not very neat. Not to mention you now have a can full of spittle, but I digress...

Where am I going with this? Simple. When you back out of space into the big, open area behind you you are letting your car flow out into the street's wide open mouth. But when you are backing in? You are trying to spit a mouthful of car into that tiny parking space can. It's just not worth it bro. Especially considering that spitting that coke back into the can is probably going to annoy and gross out those who see you doing it. Particularly if they wanted a sip of that coke.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a reasonable person, and as such I realize there are some times when it would be logical to back in:

- You are loading a bunch of junk into your trunk.

- You are unloading a bunch of junk out of your trunk.

- (I'd rather you didn't, thanks)

- You are a getaway driver for a robbery. Backing in would certainly be advantageous here, however you may want to consider and change of career.

Now, if none of the above apply to your current situation. Then please save everyone's time and simply pull into the space. The 2 or 3 cars behind you in lot don't want to sit and wait a minute or more while you awkwardly maneuver your car back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...trying to get into that spot backwards.





.........Also, yes, I suck at parallel parking.

I disagree slightly based alone on personal experience.  I drive a pickup truck and believe it or not, I have a very difficult time pulling front end first into parking spaces because of my truck's turn radius, and backing in is far easier.  Also when i'm backing out, if I was Front end in I would be backing out blind which is never a good scenario.

Also, it takes me approximately 15-20 seconds to back into a decent parking spot.  Watching someone do it for an entire minute would annoy me too...

We back into them at school because the traffic is so bad, you kinda have to.
It's not that big of a deal.

School is going great! I'm so much less stressed now, thanks to my new meds

I feel gr8. I'm maintaining my high grades, and that means I can be in the PLAY!
If you can't already tell, I'm excited. Eeep! I'm excited because we're going to Disney Land in February to perform this play. And I really hope I get one of my favorite characters, Ado Annie.

Survived the 4 hour flight home...yey (scary turbulence at landing though ;~; )

Ever since the many flights to Baltimore I've been like yearning to fly again.
I'm jelly.


I'm feeling much better today, so I'll be returning to school!

Success. People actually talk to me in school and it has been only 2 weeks. I even remembered most of their names somehow And I think I got an A in maths.
And a B in German but it's just a ummm... description mark or something because it was not something I could have learned. Don't tell my mum.

Nicely done!

Going to a sleep over with my bestie and a few other of my awesome friends tonight. We're gonna watch Grave Encounters 2 and swim and have a photoshoot. This'll be awesome.

I keep getting so exhausted from all the social interaction at school.
It's really been effecting my behavior at home/ online..

At the same time.. I'm actually becoming popular at school. Like, whoa.

Basically, the popular crowd is all the girls who do Pom (basically cheer but dancing only.)
And like half of them actually talk to me.
Whoa.

And they want me to do varsity pom next year.
Whoa.
It's expensive as heck, but I think I'll do it.

Whoa.

I'm sorry Pipkin, Guitar, Ludvic, Cecil and Crab. I keep joining and leaving the group calls...
It's just... Hard. It's hard to be around people all the time. It's painful.

I'm sorry..
I feel like a terrible friend.

So called 'realistic lighting' systems that are not at all realistic. It seems a lot of developers and modders think that light is a gas emitting from the source that disappears 3 feet away from the source. That's not how it works. In the real world a single candle can light up a whole room. Sure, you won't be able to see well, it can be hard to see small objects on tables or on the floor, but you can find your way around the room. And if someone else is in the room with you, you will know it. They won't be able to just back 5 feet away and become invisible. Light keeps traveling until it hits an object. It doesn't just fade off into blackness 3 feet away from the source.

Also, believe it or not, light is capable of reflecting around corners to a degree. No, it's not realistic to see light shining in a perfectly straight line out of a doorway and then just become pure blackness a millimeter past the door frame. Try opening your blinds during the day. The sunlight will light up your whole room, not just a perfectly straight beam right in front of the window.

People need to realize that simply removing ambient light does not automatically make a lighting system 'realistic'.

This.

I have aced all Algebra related things do far for my school! 

Nice. I think I can say the same. Math is supes easy.

at the same time school is the worst thing in my life. It caused me to have two panic attacks yesterday. I'm missing another day of school today because of my mental health (that is also causing me to become physically sick). Too many assignments in one day makes me stressed and on top of that this empty hole in my stomach gradually getting bigger is painful. I miss all my friends from Bronycon. I don't know how to handle it. It's becoming physically painful.

School. Sucks.

"Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God, while destroying a visible nature. Unaware that the nature he is destroying is this God he is worshipping."

Idk that quote just speaks to me. Found it on tumblr.
