It's finally the weekend! Yay! Too bad I have a test on Tuesday that I desperately need to study for. But it's the weekend. And next weekend (well, Wednesday)... I get to go home!! Yay!
So anyways, I have a rant. I was thinking about this while walking back from class the other day (yeah, I think about random things at random times). I can't stand fairy tales. They lie.
I mean, don't even get me started on the whole concept of the beautiful princess in need of rescue by a dashing prince. There is no Prince Charming. And in many stories, the prince kisses the princess without her consent. That would be considered sexual harrassment now. If I was in a coma, I wouldn't want some random guy (who I don't know) kissing me.
And then there's the Ugly Duckling. I used to love that story when I was little. The little ugly grey duckling grew up to become a beautiful swan. I thought I was this ugly little kid and maybe one day, I'd grow up to become a beautiful "swan." Well, I'm grown up (pretty much, anyways) and that hasn't happened. And I know it never will. You can't change how you look. What's wrong with staying "ugly" your whole life? Isn't it more important what is INSIDE you? Well, I guess in this lookist country, that's not entirely true. If you have the intelligence, you have to have the looks too, or you're less likely to be noticed.
Well anyways. That's my rant. Kind of short, but I'm hungry. Watching Friends and eating dumplings commences... now.

I definitely agree. It does give little kids hope, but then at the same time is like "you're ugly." Haha. But you're not ugly Sknank! :) You're so pretty, you have no idea! You need to have a postive outlook on yourself. Of course, this is coming from Miss Optimism over here, haha. Love ya! Can't wait until Wednesday!
