Something to Say

Someone said to me once that I am beautiful. That I am beautiful and that is why people hit on me all the time. You know who you are and I'm going to tell you something very important.

I partially want to be Muslim because I would have an excuse to be covered. I would have an excuse to ignore my body and my face. I envy women who choose to cover themselves. It must be so freeing to not be constantly judged by your face and your weight, how large your breasts are and how much skin you show.

You know why the few people that hit on me do? Because I have large breasts. Sad, but true. No one tries to go out with me because I am intelligent or well read. No one tries to talk to me because I enjoy the theatre or writing. They come over and "hit on" me because I have large breasts and because I am heavier set. They think because of these things I'll sleep with them. I am overweight so I must have ridiculously low self-esteem (which I do, but that is beside the point). I have large breasts so I must be a slut.

If I was covered, no one would take me at face value. Anyone who talked to me would have to ACTUALLY talk to me. Get to know me, not my body. Get to know what's in my head, not what's on it.

So, darling, the truth isn't that I'm beautiful. The truth is that God/Allah/Buddha/Krishna/whomever gave me a large chest and unfortunately that is all I'll ever be to some people. Its not always a compliment to be hit on.

World Religion

I was thinking yesterday that I really wanted to try different world religions, just because I think it would be interesting and I feel like I would learn a lot.

I thought I might start off with Catholicism, because it is closest to what I already know, having been a Non-Denominational/Protestant Christian for a long time. I also thought it might be interesting to try to follow the various rules of that religion for a year. I could write blogs about my year as a Catholic, or my year as a Muslim, or my year as a Buddhist. Doesn't that sound interesting?

Of course it is all an effort to learn more about religion in general and to find out more about myself. For example, what do I believe? What do I disbelieve? All in the name of learning and exploration.

Even though I think I would like to follow one religion for a year, I think that might be too difficult to do, depending on the strictness of the religion. For example, if I was to decide to be Muslim (or Hindi) for a year, I would want to follow the strict dress code, as well as the dietary rules and so on.

I'd have to really prepare for those changes and not go into this half-cocked. Shooting from the hip just sounds like a bad idea when it comes to religion.

I think the only "religion" I couldn't do would be Scientology. I apologize to any Scientologists who may stumble across this blog, but I just can't believe in aliens or L. Ron Hubbard, for that matter. Just not something I think I could do for a year. A week, maybe, before I laughed myself to death.

All for now, I'm going to ponder this a little more and see what happens!

Apparently there is a lot of Penis in the news today. O.O I don't quite know what to do about this. So I'll just give it to you hard... I mean STRAIGHT! Agh! The penis is going to my head!

Two articles on Penises:
