The Essence of Woman

I am in Italy! I started a separate blog to update everyone on my experiences here (and most likely when I come home). If interested:

Wow. It's been a while. I've been slaving away in order to create this http://demandit.org.



I encourage you to join the blog if this sort of thing interests you (http://demandit.org/main). And make sure to check out the supplementary Bethany's Black List (located within the blog's catagories on the right side).

I looked up "asian fonts" on google:

I had a dream I made out with fergie.
What the hell.

I went to AZ to visit Daniel's family. It was so much fun (especially our random trip to the Grand Canyon). It was competely spotaneous and extremely awesome!!!

There are only 22 pics--check out the album if you get a chance:

Current Mood: I have pink eye, not kidding

I won't be studying in Italy because the school was vandalized and their insurance won't cover it. That is all.

Current Mood: life goes on

In august I'm going on a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, then "Laguna Beach," CA, and last Chicago. Then it's off to Italy in the fall. Can't. wait.

The trip was inspired by me connecting with this girl I used to be friends with in elementary school who lives in Orange County. Should be really interesting...


I'm so unmotivated to do anything until then. My days are such a complete waste. I sit here in the sweltering heat and stare at the computer. Maybe I read every once and a while. And maybe sometimes I go on a photo shoot with Allison because I'm H-town's next top model.

Hamlet:

To be, or not to poke, -- that is the french berret;
Whether 'tis nobler in the italian sonnet to suffer
The slings and pom poms of yuppy fortune,
Or to take strobe lights against a sea of AIDS,
And by getting your groove on end them. To die, -- to smoke crack, --
No more; and by a smoke crack to say we end
The the KKK and the .8 natural shocks
That flesh is grave digger to,-- 'tis a slut
seductively to be wish'd. To die, --- to smoke crack,--
To smoke crack! perchance to milk! ay, there's the Tyra Banks;
For in that smoke crack of death what home depot loving lesbians may come .

Excerpt from catcher and the rye:

If you very want to overdose about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was went through mail, and what my contagious childhood was like, and how my special olympic hurdlers were occupied and all before they had me, and all that angel from RENT kind of a letter that says you have AIDS, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to get the chastity belt. In the first place, that stuff persuades me, and in the second place, my special olympic hurdlers would have about 25,903 family pack of condoms from staples apiece if I told anything pretty obnoctious about them. They're quite pants around ankles about anything like that, especially my prom.

Nursery rhymes:

Jack and Jill went up the bra
to fetch a/an 2L bottle of water.
Jack fell down and broke his wig,
And Jill came tumbling after.

There was a little girl and she had a little curl
Right in the middle of her freak.
And when she was flaming gay, she was very, very indian,
And when she was bad, she was furry.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the ghost
To get her sloppy tongue a bone.
When she got there, the big thumb was snobby
And so her smelly dog had none.

There was a annoying woman
who got nasty in a shoe.
She had so many boogers
She didn't know what to do.

enjoy!

Axe's commercials are funny but the website is pretty disturbing. There is a section where they have 9 different types (Voodoo, etc). A picture of a woman comes up with a quote. It makes women into a) sex objects b) idiots. Some of the quotes are, "Hi...that's enough foreplay" and "six packs are over-rated, I'm more interested in your other muscles." My personal favorite is "I know the 6 kama sutra positions where you can still face the TV" Objectification much?

The descriptions of the products are equally disturbing (not to mention corny): "Use touch and she'll want to touch the rest of you", "all that's left to do is rise to the occasion"," teach her to rub things together to start a fire", "put it on your body and get ready to explore the deep."

http://www.theaxeeffect.com/aboutaxe.html and then go to "axe 9 ways" to see for yourself

Or there is this spring break bootcamp bullshit: http://www.theaxeeffect.com/springbreak.html THIS IS AWFUL "SPRING BREAK MEANS 3 GIRLS, ONE BED" The guys climb walls, like rock climbing, but they are grabbing on to parts of women.

They link to something that you need to be OVER 18 to view, http://www.evanandgareth.com/, something about guys getting $25,000 to hit on girls.

So today, after all this hype, I go to sell my books back and they give me--of all things--a free sample of axe!!!!!!!!! I showed them the website and they were pretty disgusted by it, thankfully. They will probably still give out the free samples though, creating future customers :(

Current Mood: stop the madness

Email from person helping me put together my capstone project:

Many of us have been pleased to see the wider than usual range of images of beauty put forth by the “Dove Campaign for Real Beauty.” Students mention it frequently as a sign that there are positive influences in the media. Looking a little deeper, one learns that Dove is a subsidiary of Unilever. Axe is also a subsidiary of Unilever. Check out the websites below related to the Axe advertising campaign if you are not familiar with it. When students and I discovered this link, we were pretty disappointed to find that the Dove campaign was simply “smart niche marketing” and nothing more. Clearly Unilever has absolutely no concern about the negative effects of objectifying women. Those of us who have begun chatting about this have not yet come up w/ a plan for action. A first step is sharing the info widely. I would be glad to compile ideas sent directly to me and then send them out to these lists. ……Why was I not really surprised???

A lit major? I'm such a faker. I haven't read about 80% of the books.

I just faked my way through Great Expectations by Dickens, The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad (awful OMG), and now we have to read Orlando by Virgnia Woolf. Two pages into it and I can't take anymore and had to look at a plot summary.

"The story of Orlando spans over 300 years (1588–1928). During this time, Orlando ages only thirty-six years, and changes gender from a man to a woman."

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The only reason I am in this major was to refine my writing skills, I don't even like to read.
