    Why are you judging me?

    Saturday, November 13th, 2010

    Generally, unless it’s work related, when I don’t like someone, I just cut them out of my life. Sounds simple, and it should be. Unless for some reason you -have- to always be around them for some reason.

    I don’t -hate- people instantly off the bat if there is no good reason. But I do hate them if they directly / indirectly continue to criticise my choice of life style despite me telling them that I don’t approve. What do they say? They say:

    People who don’t move out of their parents home right after schooling are not independent
    Yes, they say this right to my face, yay for tact? Firstly, I wasn’t aware people get awards for moving out at 18. I also didn’t realise me choosing to stay with my parents because (omg) I love them and enjoy their company somehow made your life worse. Whether I move out at 18, 25 or even 40 makes no difference to anyone but me. Learning to cook, clean and “live independently” is not a special skill, anyone can learn it at any point in their life. I say “independent” because I believe this to be a state of mind, but that’s just me.

    That and having your parents pay for you holidays and/or rent is not exactly “independent” so please step down and stop being a hypocrite.

    Make snide comments about me being financially better off
    Well, let’s see. I studied hard at school, got into a good degree at University, and omgosh! Somehow landed a job with good pay. And I also come from a financially supportive family. Please tell me again how this is any of your business or effects you negatively in anyway? Right it doesn’t… please take your jealous tendencies out on someone who gives a damn.

    I’m shallow for loving makeup
    Right, and you’re not shallow at all for making this judgemental call? I rest my case :P

    Frankly, it sucks that time that could be spent on things I love doing, or being around people who love and accept me for me has to instead go into spending time with people who think like this. I know I am not a long, I have a bucket load of friends in this situation.

    The only benefit that comes from being in this situation is that it makes you even more understanding and accepting of people with very different life choices. You have to be to accept that there are just some people out there who are not happy with their lives and hence need to justify their own choices to themselves by criticising people who didn’t follow the same path. These people exist, and I need to accept them.

    Currently in talks with a few other bloggers and SuzakuNU could potentially be converted into a topic specific website :( Which leaves me with only this blog to ramble on about anything! Oh well, good thing I didn’t delete it :D

    Direction

    Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

    I think, the thing that I have struggled with the most with regards to this blog is finding direction. I tend to be the sort of person who likes things clearly defined, so I know exactly what I am getting. Unfortunately, doing that with this blog is not so easy.

    So instead I’ve decided that the direction of this blog is that there will be no direction! It will be random, filled with whatever I feel like typing at any given time. I’ve already have about four other blogs, which should cover my topic driven interests just fine. As for everything else that strikes my fancy, well it will end up here.

    I kinda like have a blog here, I feel a bit more willing to picture spam knowing I’m not jamming up anyone’s friends list! Yeah, I’m way too considerate for my own good :P

    Seeking Motivation

    Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

    I have a crazy amount of ideas and goals that I’ve set for myself this year, but like every other year most of my plans fall through due to lack of motivation. So I’m doing everything I can do it remain and continue staying motivated.

    Ain’t nothing gonna break my stride, ain’t nothing gonna hold me down. I’ve got to keep on moving!

    I think I’ll try defying gravity.

    What do you say to taking chances, what do you say to jumping off the edge.

    I know I’m stressed and tired when…

    • I haven’t done my nails in ages, though at least I’ve gotten as far as a clear polish, still I missed having them beautifully filed and polished.
    • Haven’t used any hair styling products, I’m lucky either my GHD is gentle or my hair is made of steel, either way I haven’t been using any heat styling products when I straighten my hair, and this has been the case for a good year or so now. Hair is absolutely fine, just tends to feel a tad softer if I use product first.
    • Both my bedroom and study room look like they were robbed, just no motivation to sort through stuff I’ve been buying, my own stuff etc.
    • All my sketch books for costumes and fashion design ideas have gone missing.
    • I’m doing exceptionally well in Rock Band.

    I’m so busy building other people’s website, I don’t seem to have the time to work on my own :(

    I’m tempted to put my freelancing on hiatus once this lot is done so I can seriously sit down and work on realising ALL my own ideas and finally start pushing my graphics / flash skills to a half decent level.

    I think first I need to learn to say NO tho, wonder if they give lessons for that.
