things i hate on facebook

i'm in a grumpuss mood so i will make a list.

1. the word 'random' - even the best people do it.
2. people being bored and writing 'is bored' as their status update.
3. people claiming their favourite cars are something jeremy clarkson talked about once, when they've probably never seen one or driven one in the flesh before
4. people who post fecking huge albums of rubbish (like me)
5. people who write 'BSc' after their names.
6. people who join groups claiming they like 'rough sex' -- uh... i didn't really wanna know that on friending you...

books and the beast

was thinking about disney this morning, mainly about books in beauty & the beast.

the beast gives belle a library.
Is this an awesome romantic gesture?
or does he just have a big old library that's been handed down thru generations that he isn't really that interested in?
does the beast read? it'd be nice if he did, they'd have something more in common then...

also, what does belle read anyway, i dunno how to make this point without sounding like a booksnob, but looking thru the first song she seems to read jack & the beanstalk, and Cinderella. lots about prince charming. (or so she sings to the sheep) her book also contains pictures. fair does etc, but i wonder what the deal is with her apparently being so clever when she reads only fairy tales and oldskool chicklit.

i kinda hoped belle would be reading about something else. i dunno what...

and i wish she would stop singing about how her villiage is full of simple little people. stfu belle.

that said, it might be the 'best' disney princess film.. erk i will have to think on that.

i always liked mulan, but i am now scared to watch it again in case i notice shit like outlined above.... it would ruin it :-(

the mid 20s crisis

as i shim from my 'early' 20s to 'mid' i have seen a fair few people thinking out loud about that mid 20s crisis. now's my turn.

having been lucky enough to have never thought i was in a crisis when i might have been (does that even make sense?) i almost wonder if it would be a good thing, but gone are the days, if there ever were those days, where i crave indecicivness, confusion and emo soul searching.

for me, the mid 20s crisis has always been 'am i a worthwhile human being and a good use of resources' (stupid business studies, 'am i a viable product'...ARGH)

i am happier now, i know what i want and even though i sometimes feel like i'm not getting anywhere fast, at least i know what i want and am heading in one of the right directions.

i'm more confident now. i look back on photos of myself at times when i deemed myself so worthless i should never have ventured out of my room, and instead of thinking 'well, i was pretty ugly and stupid looking then, maybe i should have stayed in.' i find myself wanting to go back in time and shake that person with no self esteem. tell her she is reasonable looking and certainly not offensive unless of course you listen to her which nobody does anyway because we are all stupid people with a lot to learn.

i am not more well-off now LOL

i am further from home now

i am busier now

i have purpose now?
