It's a stranger.....who the hell cares? shrug Besides it says more about them then you wink

That's a very healthy attitude nod. But when somebody says something stupid about me being as light-skinned as I am I still feel hurt, even though I know I shouldn't feel that way shrug.

Just remember that words have no power unless you give them power.....fuck em hug

A week ago, the girls @ school had to get vaccinations. So I go into the hall and over to the nurse and I start taking off my sweater so she can reach the top of my arm better. I'm halfway through taking it off [of course i had like 3 tops on underneath] and she says really loudly "You don't have to start stripping, you know."

I'm like whofarted and said "It's hard for you if i dont take it off" and she interrupts me and says "Actually its not you can just pull it down like this" then fucking stretches my top down then STABS me with the needle. We've had to have 3 of these injections and this was the only one that really hurt me because bitchface didn't like me.

confused It's your body. Let 'em know.

After so many times of giving blood, I prefer certain persons and certain things, but still, IT IS YOUR BODY. TELL THEM what you prefer. They should suggest, but you have all rights to prefer.

AndrewZimmern

Strangers insult me all the time. For example those journalists, who watch my show on TTC and don't get it - like this guy Mike, who recently posted this write-up below on www.vagabondish.com I mean, come on. He doesn't know me, he's a complete stranger, and he insults me like that.


I want to like The Travel Channel’s Andrew Zimmern; I do. He has all the right avuncular qualities about him: he’s pudgy, he’s bald, he’s quirky. He’s got very pinchable cheeks. And he’s entertaining in a "Hey, look at my crazy uncle!" kind of way. Unfortunately that only takes one so far, especially in the land of TV hosts.
For the life of me, I cannot make it through an hour of his Bizarre Foods. And I think I’ve been able to isolate why the show irritates me so much. First off, it’s a shameless rip on No Reservations. TTC recognized the winning formula in Bourdain’s show and they’re trying to capitalize on its test tube twin. I think we can all agree on that. But there’s always room for more travel and culinary adventure shows in my book, so no harm/no foul there.

The difference is that Anthony Bourdain is self-deprecating and doesn’t pad his shows with a lot of hoopla about what he’s eating or how exotic it is. He just does it, quips why he likes or dislikes it, and moves on. It’s easy to empathize with that kind of traveling - take everything in stride and just appreciate it for what it is.

Zimmern, on the other hand, constantly feels the need to over dramatize everything he does. "Wow, I’m really eating scorpions. Isn’t that soooo weird?!? Look at me! Whoopadeedoo!" Actually, he’s probably never said "Whoopadeedoo!" but you get the point.

Yes, Andrew, I get it: I know your eating exotic foods. That’s why I tuned in in the first place. You don’t need to waste valuable air time by needlessly reiterating how crazy and adventurous you are.

Last, and definitely not least, is the lip smacking. Seriously. I think I may actually have a certifiable condition whereby the sound of someone smacking their lips and tongue while they eat makes me want to punch a puppy. I don’t know what it is, but that sound strikes a nerve so deep in my body that I often need to pull myself back from the brink of violence every time I hear it. (This is going to be a real problem in Asia, I know. But we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.)

Last night’s episode was the straw that broke the culinary camel’s back. The smacking reached epic proportions. It was like a symphony of gluttony, as though the show’s editors put it together just for me. I’m not even sure where the show was located. I was too busy trying to scratch the deafening cacophony of slurping and smacking from my auditory canal with a kabob skewer.

At one point, I actually screamed at the television: "Close your F**KING mouth!"



Seriously, that's not very nice.

Insulted by strangers? I don't recall that ever happening to me.
Sure, I might've been teased a few times like back in third grade or something, but even then, I was teased very rarely.

I've always wondered if going to school in the States is anything like movies depict it to be. Every time there's some movie about high school kids and whatnot, they always act like they're fucking retarded elementary school students and they're, what, around 18 years old or something? Jesus H. Christ...disbelief
Grow the fuck up already confused

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
