Hi you
Yo bitch
“Alfred Hitchcock once described actors as cattle. ‘That would make child actors veal,’ said Mara Wilson, star of the 1996 film ‘Matilda.’”
—Why do so many child actors “lose it” as young adults? Recently, Nickelodeon’s ’90s sensation Amanda Bynes wrapped herself up in a media and police frenzy, similar to actress Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears (circa 2007). Listen to Wilson on the pressures of child stardom and read the rest from Talk of the Nation. (via npr)

“That’s the way it is: You can be a fugly dude who’s hilarious, and hot women want to sleep with you, but being funny as a woman does not make people want to sleep with you. And that always felt very unfair.”

“Here are some facts about female lab rats: During sex, a female rat will evade her partner, darting away in the midst of his pumping, so it doesn’t end too quickly — she wants it to last, because it’s more pleasurable for her that way. It’s not clear whether they orgasm, but “female rats do what feels good,” a researcher explains. When graduate students stroke female rats’ clitorises (which apparently look like little eraser heads) and then stop, the rats will tug on the students’ sleeves and beg for more. “This,” writes Bergner, “went on and on.” No research yet on how the situation is exacerbated if the female rat has had a really tough week at work.”
—RAT CLITS ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ WHO KNEW?
Rat clit
I was just reading this article about the scientific study of women’s desire to have sex as opposed to men’s need to have sex and they studied female rats to further explain. Basically female rats have clits and when you rub these said clits (apparently they look like eraser heads) the female rat looks to enjoy it and when the scientist stop rubbing their clits, the rats “ask” for more.
It goes on explaining that women are more passive when it comes to sexual relations and are turned on by the thought of being persuade or chased, and this theory I guess continues even in the animal world. That females have to seem passive to get sex and men are turned off when females seem forward. But studies show that females get bored when the chase is done (between one year and 4) while men continue to remain interested in sex. The theory stands that females like sex, men need sex to survive and spread their gene. The fact that females LIKE sex just makes the spreading of the gene that much easier.
What I want to know is, after years and years of schooling and thousands and thousands of dollars in colleges and degrees, what scientist ends up his career flicking some female rat’s clit?
“Encourage them to eat. Don’t let them diet. Discourage the idolization of anorexic and bulimic celebrities. Make them exercise instead. Teach them that “exercise” means running, jumping, sweating, grunting, working hard, and kicking ass- it doesn’t mean flapping their arms around in some trendy, overpriced Trogalaties course, or running on the elliptical until they pass out. Help them realize their own strength. All of these things will help girls realize their full potential, both physically and mentally. It will help girls become self-confident, capable, and literally and figuratively strong. A girl who is encouraged to be strong instead of skinny will have higher self-esteem, respect, ambitions, and worth. She will never be a victim. She will be healthy. She will be a leader. She will be confident. She will be kick-ass.”

While I’m not really comfortable saying ANYTHING is the new “skinny” I do think that encouraging girls to be come strong more than thin is an interesting twist. I also really relate to the idea that teenagers who starve themselves really put them selves in risk of missing out on a lot. School work, social activities, friends and family… mostly due to the fact that (from what I remember) starving yourself in high school just made you that much more miserable and exhausted. I wonder all the time if I had just lived my childhood and didn’t stress about calorie intake as much, would I have achieved more?
Though there is a lot I don’t agree with in this article (mostly the wording) its still worth a read.

Haircuts: Are you currently accepting new clients by any chance? If so, best way to contact you to inquire about said haircuts? Also, Ned Hepburn is not allowed to photograph the haircut & then write 2,500 words on, "2013: The Year of Daft Punk, Lena Dunham, & Dudes in search of a decent haircut.", is he
Phase 1 of question: Yes I am always accepting new clients and the best way to contact for a hair cut is here.
Phase 2: What?
If we were friends instead of acquaintances, I'd call you to make sure you are okay. Your post was sad to read so I'll simply say you have people in the world who are wishing you a thousand splendid smiles
This is very sweet. I’m sorry my last real post was sad, it wasn’t really ment to be sad as in, “hey everyone acknowledge my misery” it was more of “i really need to vent right now”
Its life, its been a really really really hard year. But thats life. And shitty years mean good years ahead.
also: acquaintance??? holler at me if we are IRL friends
You pretty much straight up blow responding to anonymous comments and questions, it appears. I'm on a hunger strike
this is kind of like saying I suck at filling out the “how was your experience?” questionares to the korean bbq joint at the end of the meal.
