I may be in love with this girl

I've been a Kerli fan since her first cd came out. The whole album is great, and she's really pretty.

Yep. One of her songs was a free iTunes download a year or two ago, and I downloaded the whole album. Pretty good for a beautiful weirdo from Estonia.

We can't all be perfect.

I couldn't disagree with this sentiment less. Fat slave Leias are every bit as wrong as blonde slave Leias.

I wear glasses and have a chinstrap. I don't cosplay because of this, because I know of no characters who wear glasses and have a chin strap. I'm overweight enough that I'm not going to play anyone with a six pack who wears a skintight costume, either. Not because I'm self conscious - I don't care what people at a comic convention think of my body - but because it wouldn't be properly representative of whatever character I'd be dressed as.

If I was going to cosplay as Blob, or Jabba the Hutt, or Dan Connor, I'd look stupid wearing just the appropriate costume, because a key element of those characters aesthetics is that they're all FAT. A skinny Hurley wouldn't be Hurley, it'd be a guy with curly Jesus hair and some surprisingly not-dirty clothes.

Simply put, I don't care how overweight or out of shape the girl in the above bikini is. I don't have a problem with her body. Until she wears something that looks that ridiculous on her, and tries to pass herself off as a character she now looks nothing like.

And what's the deal with waiting in lines at the airport?!?!?

Says the dude who sends pictures of himself in his girlfriend's underwear to...well, anyone. It's not about looks, it's about appreciating your fandom. If you don't like it, who cares? You don't like anything, anyway.

ANYWAY NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR A RANDOM OBSERVATION...

There's a cat scaling my closet. The noises scared me.

Ok heres one for now
Before I created the mytho that is Gavin, George Clooney was the handyman on the Facts of Life, I think he dated Jo. I was going to tell the story about me having a fight with an actual celebritiy, but dude has a show again now and I dont want another restraining order out on me...

Speaking of George Clooney, he was on a sit com about a hospital emergency room called ER and ended up many years later on a drama that took place in a hospital emergency room called.....wait for it.....wait for it....wait for it....ER!

Popcorn and chicken, only the genius of Colonel Sanders could combine the two!

I think whats scarier than what I posted earlier. I think I will go punch another celebrity...at this point anything to gbet out of work

Random Observation: I like the New My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park albums. Go ahead Hate Me!

I really like the new My Chemical Romance album too. The Linkin Park one, not so much.

I like Jeffros observations.And fat people shouldn't cosplay.

I actually have the first two My Chemical Romance CDs and a t-shirt of theirs somewhere. Ohhh, high school. I don't miss you at all.

I got to meet them when they were in Chicago years ago. My first official super freak out moment. XD

1) I sent it to close friends. The fact that one of them posted it on the Internet is not directly my fault, nor was it ever my intention.

2) I wouldn't wear anything like that out. Again.

3) Lee hates Van Halen, and somehow I'M the guy who doesn't like anything? I don't get it.

Van Halen is horrible.

This will only end in tears.

Shockingly I liked Speed Racer the Movie, pretty colors

Lee hates one thing. You hate everything. Ergo, you're the guy that doesn't like anything.

Fantastically underrated movie.

As for fat chicks in costumes, sure, they CAN wear revealing outfits, but that doesn't mean they don't look ridiculous. A general rule of thumb of fashion is to wear clothing that complements your body style. I don't see why costuming should be exempt from this rule. If you're 5'4" and weigh 300 lbs., perhaps Emma Frost or Slave Leia aren't the best ways to showcase your body. If dressing up is fun for you, even if it means drawing unflattering attention to yourself, fine, go nuts, but don't be surprised when people look at you like a bulldog in a tutu.

Thank you, somebody that gets it. I loved the Speed Racer movie, it was an awesome movie that was amazing on the big screen. I loved the colors and how over the top everything was.

I'm not really sure how anyone other than Kerouac could watch Speed Racer and not have a good time. Easily one of the best movies of 2008.
