Someone is wrong on the internet

I feel like bitching. A lot.

I hate it when I can’t explain myself to people. Especially over the internet. I don’t have to know the person, just the fact that I can’t explain myself makes me feel like I come across as an idiot. Which I’m not.

Just the fact that we are confined to 140 characters makes it almost impossible communicate. I also use my body to talk for me. The fact that I have to type to explain something really grinds my non existent balls.

I learned in the past year or so, that I in no way can change someones religious views, faith is far more stronger than me and has thousands of years brain washing on its side. So, I decided that I should take it lightly, make fun of the situation. I decided that being bigot about the situation just helps me keep my sanity. I know what I believe in and my opinions grow and change. When I want to talk to someone about my opinions I talk to Eren or a very select few of my friends who I feel like I can have stimulating conversations with. These conversations never happen online.

I also love how when I feel agitated and I look over to Eren, and he doesn’t even have to say anything or he lets out a “oh c’mon” grunt and I go “yeah fuck it”. I get over it and write a blog post about it.

So sorry if you’re reading this. It’s totally for my personal relief.

Here watch this and laugh:

What shade are you?

So thanks to friendfeed I found this website called Beauty Swatch.

It’s basically a blog about lipstick but, it has something clever and new in it. Previews. It’s full of lipstick brands and shades and pictures of what they look like in real life. We are all (or should be) aware of the fact that the little stickers that come beneath the lipsticks are not what the lipstick looks like, and catalog pictures always have tons of photoshop. So it would be very helpful to go take a look at it before buying lipsticks online. They also have a nail polish section. You can also send in your own lips and previews.

Yes, this was a very “women” oriented post, but not to worry men. The chick has total blowjob lips. Hawt I tell ya…

And… here is the part that annoys me. The chick has full and awesome lips, why the hell is she pouting? I just can’t get over the fact that she is putting tremendous effort towards making her upper lip (which is already on angelina jolie level) look gigantic.

Anyways, boys and girls, go enjoy the lips. But since it has other people contributing to it, there are some gnarly lips to be aware of.

New Prank War Awesomeness

Prank War #8 was just released and it’s awesome! (still not awesome as #6).

What is prank wars you say? Well, it’s a war between collegehumor.com workers Amir and Streeter. It all started when Streeter pranked Amir and put the video online. Now it has turned into a full on hardcore war (the pranks now are sponsored by AXE).

If you haven’t watched the series yet and haven’t followed it’s progression into a monster ball of awesomeness,
Start here: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7

But less talky more watchy.

Bearded Lady in the City

I know, I know. I’ve completely been ignoring my blog for a while. But, it’s not you, it’s totally me. So, this is me trying to blog more.

I’m taking a make up class. Not a “ok now this is how you put on mascara for the club” class but a class for students in the mpt department. So it’s basically make up for the movies.

The class has been exiting and fun and hopefully you’ll get a how to/look what I can do/aren’t I awesome post soon.

Last class we learned how to lay a beard on someone. It takes annoyingly long and the process is a pain in the ass. But as usual everyone had to lay beards on their partners. I gave my partner a macho man mustache and he gave me an amish beard.

So the amish beard made me look like a crossover between a metalhead and jesus.

Here is a classmate’s after shot.

I have to tell you. I love beards (well on men). I think beards are hot and awesome. I also thought Salma Hayek looked hot as the bearded lady in Cirque De Freak. But again, that’s just me.

Every class we joke about leaving the class with our current make ups and then never follow through and clean up and leave. The beard just sparked something in me. I just wanted to see how people would react to a girl with a looong beard.

So I left class like that. And here is the picture, Eren has advised me against putting it online :) but I decided not to listen. Can’t hurt to put a few smiles on a few faces. Oh, and I have really long hair so it’s like they’ve merged into one. I kinda look like cousin it.

The walk out of school was fine. These are art students who live in San Francisco, a beard on a girl has no shock value. Even with out the art students. This is San Francisco. I’ve been to Castro st on halloween and I’ve been to the Folsom street fair. I’ve seen naked men and bondage mistresses on the street. How bad could the response be.

The first thing I’ve noticed was that I could NOT get a cab. A cab stopped and when the dude saw me he raised his hand and told me to stop. He then continued to stare at me. People in cars were slowing down to look. I felt naked. Like something was wrong with me. Keep in mind that there are women who are born with disorders that make them develop long beards, they are basically bearded ladies, and we know them as sideshow/circus freaks.

A friend of mine stopped a cab for me and I got in. The driver had obviously not seen me before we stopped (he later admitted that he hadn’t). The first thing I told him was that the beard was fake. This was probably me trying to compensate the fact that I could be anything but outside the social norms of beauty.

We got to talking with the driver and had a nice conversation all the way home. I got out and saw the owner of the downstairs market, i told him I was taking a make up class for films and had to get a fake beard.

I won’t tie this to any psychological or sociological conclusion. All I can say is, I chickened out. I am not an “edgy” person. The only thing that shocked me was that I could some how make San Franciscan uneasy.

Also, here something to make you forget that I haven’t been updating the blog lately.

Epic Comment Win

I usually don’t read comments online, since it makes me loose faith in humanity and is bad for any human being’s health. But today, tonight, StumbleUpon brought me a website, where out of boredom I scrolled down to the comments and read one of the most awesome comments ever. It was just so plain and simple and #win that it made me want to share it with you guys.

It was written by someone called Ates. Here is what it read:

Quoting from the Bible when making an argument against rational thinking is in the same lines as:
–
A – I don’t believe in Santa Claus.
B – You fool. Listen to these words: “Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.” See? Santa is real.
A – Ah, I see now. Thanks for the quotation!
–
Oh, an there’s always CAPITAL LETTERS to win an argument:
–
A – I don’t believe in fairies.
B – YOU FOOL. FAIRIES ARE REAL!!!
A – Thanks for changing my mind with those huge letters.

Feminism? What’s that?

Am I a feminist?
Are YOU a feminist?

The three types of people I come across in this issue are:

*”Strong headed feminists”
*Women afraid of being labeled a feminist
*People who think feminists are men bashers.

It’s very rarely that I come across someone who understands what it really means.

Well, what it’s really about is: CHOICE

Choice to live free of stigma,
Choice to lead the life we want,
Choice to have control over our own bodies,
Choice to be whoever we want to be.

Neither a housewife nor a stripper does anything wrong or bad for the “feminist movement”. It’s their choice and doesn’t mean that other women can’t become CEOs.

Women are the first to bring each other down, label each other. Slut, whore, gold digger, bobble head. We give the power to men to make us feel like a lesser sex. Oh us and organized religion, on that subject I can’t believe how any woman would believe in books where she’s as valuable as a piece of trash.

What some women don’t understand is a woman has the right to use her sexuality as much as she has the right to be a member of the congress.

Using our bodies don’t make us lesser women or lesser feminists.

A prostitute is not a lesser woman than a school teacher and a school teacher is not a lesser woman than any other. We -men and women- are equal. Life is equal.

If someone is happy with what they are doing then who are we to talk.

This is not feminism.

Feminism is claiming the right that women have the CHOICE to do anything any other human being does. We can do what we want to do, and be what we want to be. We have the right to be free and happy.

We are claiming our bodies, our identities and our freedom back.

So my friends, YES, I am a Feminist! This is what I’m fighting for.

My Mom Is So Cool! (and a nerd)

This is what I found on my skype today. I’m afraid I might have a trekkie mom.

So, here’s Carol’s Log:

Carol: hey
Carol: day 3 and no word from the lost Ankaranians
Carol: our search has taken us to a strange place called Skype
Carol: it was reported to our crew members that miraculous portals to far reaches of the earth could be reached through this amazing thing called skype
Carol: but still no sign of our lost loved ones
Carol: we have sent out seekers who send “mesages” of certain encription, i.e. “nbr”
Carol: but all attempts to make contact have been in vain
Carol: if all else fails we will resort to the “mother” method
Carol: it is a subtle method that brings “feelings of great guilt” to the lost ones
Carol: so in fact they contact the mother ship themselves only to be chastized
Carol: while great relief can be obtained by this method( one of the oldest and most trusted) is not particularly favored
Carol: if all else fails, the most drastic measure of all (iphoning) will be implemented!

*Ankaranians: Ankara is the capital of Turkey and me and Eren are both from there.
**”nbr” is the short version of “naber”, which is basically the turkish wassup.
