Old Navy stuff just doesn't work on me, I don't get it. I know they use vanity sizes like crazy, but my body just isn't compatible with them at any size. It sucks, because cheap basics are difficult to come by.

I do appreciate that they even bother making long sizes though, not a lot of companies do that

That's surprising since Old Navy makes four pant lengths and has like five different cuts, it's my go to store for any woman that needs essentials. I mean they aren't that butt friendly since I have some butt but the pants are still great and fit well.

Okay you a goon but what's a goon to a goblin?
I'm thinking about frying some catfish nuggets. I should eat something healthier. I might order pizza. There is a chance I will pick up some pork and make a nice pasta sauce, but I don't know. I am in a bit of a funk and junk food that will only make me feel worse has a powerful allure for me right now.

Granted, I haven't been there in a while, but my problem was more that everything there seemed to be cut for curvier women than I. I'm hardly a stick, but I don't have much in the way of hips or butt, and their stuff just ends up sagging on me. I stick to Calvin Klein and Madewell for jeans, mostly, and wear skirts or dresses the rest of the time.

I always have to shop at teenager stores for pants because my legs are short and I'm just pretty petite in general. I had to get my engagement ring sized down today from a 4.5 to a 4.

When I became an adult, I could finally wear the rings I got from the dentist as a child.

Veggie dog and some fries. Also Pepsi Max with Oakheart.

Also, Old Navy doesn't work for me either. :( First, I like baggier pants, and second I have a large butt despite not being overweight, so there's always that huge gap at the back of every single drat pair of pants I buy.

So, Nick Cave is coming to town next July, and I want very much to see him. The show is pretty likely to sell out, and money's a little tight with the holidays coming up. I need to think of a way to convince my boyfriend (who is neutral towards/jealous of Nick Cave) to buy me the rather expensive tickets for my upcoming birthday, even though we don't really do expensive gifts for each other. We also don't have the type of relationship where we bribe each other for gifts or favors, but drat it, I really want to see this show.

Also, since I was at work during cat chat, here are my two idiots:

Yeah, that article is utterly disgusting. It's pretty comforting to know that no woman, no matter how messed up, would ever actually go out with those guys anyway. Attraction always plays a part, and I've never seen a MRA who wasn't absolutely disgusting physically.

Any MRA who thinks he knows anything about eating disorders is an idiot and a liar, since eating disorders require what MRAs least understand: commitment.

I mean part of it is also a forcefully compulsed obsession that makes you feel out of control of your own body (from someone who has suffered an eating disorder) and they certainly have the obsession part down.

I mean I dated the lesbian MRA-esque lady but she was less an MRA in title and more an MRA in action. Usually I just avoid people with fedoras and hang out with fellow queers and women.
