You don't know sh*t: ramble

So, I changed the url for my blog from what it was before, Brideorexia. I can't believe it was free at the time, but it was, and I used it. Now though, this woman has taken that url, and has created this completely ludicrous interpretation of me. Really, please go check it out here. It's funny that she has painted me as this vapid, looks obsessed girl, and thinks that I have no sense of priorities.

At any rate, I am taking this opportunity to rant.

I am fat.

And its the first thing you would notice about me if you met me. Not that I have blonde hair, not that I wear glasses, not that I am pretty good at solving problems, not that I try to be good to people, not that I have a decent sense of humor, none of that. Just that I am fat. And I am not even THAT fat. I am not novelty greeting card fat. I am not documentary-movie fat, I am not too-big-to-fit-into-an-airplane-seat fat, not, heads-swivel-to-take-in-the- enormity-of-my-mass fat. I'm just far from skinny.

So f*cking sue me if I wanted to lose a little weight and feel pretty on my wedding day.
And, don't be "nice" to me, and tell me I am not fat. It's condescending. I know I am. Do you think I am blind? I don't have a mirror? Trust me. I have every magazine, movie, TV show, virtually every media outlet telling me that I am fat, and they tell me almost every minute of the day. I know what you might be thinking... "wha wha wha, cry me a river. Put down the twinkie." You know what, ya, I do eat more than I need to. But not by that much. And so do about a billion other people, and if they are lucky enough to be naturally skinny, they don't get judged for it. Being fat is the only thing that you are "allowed" to mock anymore. You can't make fun of anyone's race, religion, disability, nothing, but hey, its a free for all with the fatties.

I don't think that it's just me. I don't think that its something that just I feel to be true. I think it is true. I think that people don't see fat people as anything but fat people. It's the overriding characteristic. But, if you feel I am wrong, please let me know.

Whatever, I don't know what my point was. I am sure I started with one, but it got lost.
