Bully Words

A "Bully Word" is the 1 powerful word that embodies your insecurities. It's the word that represents what people say to you or about you to hurt you, or just as equally what you can't let go because it's been driven so hard into you.


Coupled with your Bully Word, is your "Power Word". Your Power Word is the silver lining to your Bully Word; much like a synonym that draws out the strength, beauty or positive part of your insecurity.

Right, so i'm not a ditz, I realise the names of these Words sound tacky and cheesey, or like they're out of an Astroboy comic, but recognising them helps.... I think. They're supposed to.

My Bully Word is inadequate.
                            And although I haven't yet figured out my Power Word, that's okay because at least i'm half way there.




So, I'll ask you.

                                       What's Your Bully Word?

Or more importantly,

                         What's your Power Word?

SUMMMMMMMERRRRRR

Exams are OVER. Thank the Lord. After praying for the holidays, it's time to pray that I pass!

Anyway, with the 3+ months at my disposal, I find myself, with laptop at hand, overwhelmed by the freedom and possibilities of Summer. This Summer, I will be learning French (will be tackling Italian and Spanish soon after), the guitar (i.e, more than the one petty cover) and makin coffee....to go shopping!! Good riddance to a crappy year.

Alrighty, so the little dramas on show these holidays are....
. Gossip Girl ---- for Chuck and Blair
. Grey's Anatomy
. One Tree Hill re runs

Summer LOVES

- Not a fan of the pastels, but neutrals are very hot. Check out Chloe's Summer 2011 pieces s2
- Boots - in the form of cowboys or ankles, or leather rocker boots

- Ripped and studded denim shorts... In fact, ripped anything is hot
- Bronzed, Natural make up .... very very sexy. Maybelline Colour Studio's is very pigmented with metallic high lights that give's that extra UMPH! Give Me Gold, below, is a dream weaver

- Sunscreen, or a tinted moister. Try Natio. It's light, has coverage and is good with sensitive skin!
- Brissy Band: The Last Dinosaurs remind me of Temper Trap when they first started out, check out Honolulu



Heaps more ideas but i'll post them as they come
Off the beach-

Racism

so as I was procrastinating the night before my biology final, i came across a Tyra Banks Show link about racial perceptions.

The study:
A bunch of people of different races and heritage were brought together and shown clips of inter racial couples, after which, they were encouraged to share their opinions and thoughts. . . damn, it got nasty, quick!

These people looked pretty normal, the kind you'd see in the supermarkets, or on the bus, but most of them had the strong belief that inter racial relationships were wrong. It was described as selling out, impure, and they were ashamed of it. One guy was so ashamed of his race, and admitted to forcing his mother to choose between her religion and her son. She chose her son. There was also a consensus on the belief that Seeks, Arabs and Muslims were out to destroy everyone else. What came to me most, and i guess i seemed a bit prejudice in this sense, but, everyone in that room, the asians, african americans, muslim, middle eastern, caucasian...they were ALL racist. Not just the white guy =/

Firstly, and i think we ALLLL agree here, inter racial babies are the cutest things, and they turn out pretty damn hot. you know what i'm talking about!

Secondly, while the tragedy of 9/11 did give rise to a negative racial image of Seeks and crew, the perpetrators were not representative of their people. They were just crazy people that got a lot of attention. Hell, we should be looking out for all the sciencey kids at school. They look all innocent, but they're exacting revenge by becoming evil scientists out to take over the world.

Another episode on the Tyra Show, which is fabulous, was about this family...who belong in the 1920s, really....who were raising their children by nazi and KKK discourses. They encouraged their children to attend cross burning sessions (who DOES this anymore?!), and their children were absolutely convinced that Jewish people stole everything from everyone else, and that coloured people belong only in Africa.


People, this is absolutely ridiculous and it can end with us. God, before today i thought this shit only existed in To Kill A Mocking Bird



p.s check out more crazy shi* on the Tyra Show like, 15 yr old kid tryna have a baby and get married, and 500 lb lady wanting to get to 1000 lb
