Long ol' time

I know it's a been a long time since I posted anything, but I've already said everything about it to the people I wanted to. I've been through some trials, y'know, but hey, I'm a toughie. :)

Good times ahead, y'all.

Because I don't want to do an update on my life yet. :p

Long time comin'

Thanks for the comments on the last post! It meant a lot to me to write like that. I don't know when I'll get that courage again.


Not going to report anything in this post, but I will take this opportunity to show you the BGS (Burkettville General Store) Fairy! I dressed up at work for Halloween! Here you go! Can you handle the cute?

I made my wings out of a carboard box. I totally rushed to color them before work!!!

Don't you love my pink ribbon straps?

I painted my face, which was tons of fun. I'm going to play with Halloween makeup more often. (I think I'm a cosplayer wannabe!)


Everybody was very impressed and amused by the fairy.



And now, here's some cute baby pictures! It's Baby Leroy!

She was very interested in the camera.....not so much in the flash.

And here she snuggles with Mom in the blanky. Isn't she cuuuute? I love her pink collar with the big bow and bell that's just goofishly big for her.

"Mom...don't you know I'm way too pretty for this?"

I get this love face a lot.

All for now! More sometime!

Love, Erin

Hysteria

I just want to say this because it's been screaming around in my head for a while now, but especially since last night.

FAT DOES NOT EQUAL UNHEALTHY.

HEALTH IS NOT A MORAL IMPERATIVE.

So what does this mean to you and me? Firstly, fat does not equal unhealthy: A person can be thin and unhealthy, can't they? It's not to say that a fat person cannot be unhealthy, but fat itself is not synonymous with being unhealthy. Being fat is not synonymous with being unhealthy.

Secondly, health is not a moral imperative: Being unhealthy does not make you a bad person. Even if (IF! It doesn't!) fat made you unhealthy, it wouldn't make you a bad person for being so. Because I am fat, I am not a bad person. You wouldn't say a person is bad and unworthy because they have cancer, would you? Fat is no better understood by the medical community, and those who are fat deserve the same respect anyone else gets.

Let's clue in, folks. Being fat doesn't make me a bad person. Being fat doesn't make me unhealthy. I don't owe it to anyone to explain why I'm fat or how I'm fat. I don't owe it to anyone to change my body. I don't deserve to be treated differently because of my body.

I am a human being.

So let's remember that when your snot-nosed little brat espouses this "cultural wisdom" that I get bestowed upon me every so often to put me in my place. That ain't my place, Junior. I'm fine with me, and I don't need to change for you. Nor do I need to explain to you why this is my choice. I'm just trying to live my life. I am a human being, after all.

Test

This is just a test so that I can have somewhere on the web to host my signature picture for the forum on the Sailor Stars project.

Hesitation

I'm trying really hard to get a few roles in a fandub production of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, but I feel like my voice sucks. I can't seem to connect to the lines when I record them. It's really disappointing as someone who prides herself on a lot of talent. However, I was really surprised by my singing voice. I emailed the project manager and let him know that I'm going to practice some more. This seems to be like everything lately...I've just got to keep trying.

I am Sailor Moon...aren't I? :p

A quick note

M- Those videos are fat positive videos. The second link is my favorite. It's Joy Nash's "Fat Rant". I don't know why the links didn't work for you...they still work dandy for me....sorry.


And a note on the whole thing: I've been so confused lately, and I don't talk about it because I don't want to say a half finished thought, but...I feel like I'm silencing myself, and defeating myself.
I really love myself: my body, my brains, my passions...I just wish everyone else did too.
