like that one scrabble tile with no letter on it

Hi, I'm Erin. I'm a fat vegetarian feminist mormon with a penchant for procrastination, hence my time here on Tumblr. I'm often inspired and rarely motivated. I love crafting, sewing, cooking, baking, and most of all, watching good television and movies, then obsessing over them in order to better distract myself from my own miserable life. And I blog at: plussizedpretty.blogspot.ca

more bullshit from my dad…

I was telling him that I had a good chance to get in the university I wanted, since they calculate your GPA on the last 30 credits, not the whole 60.

This is great for me, since I had no idea what I was doing the first year of school, since I never did anything right in high school, and I didn’t know what courses to take, etc.

Then I figured out how to be good at school, and started getting all A’s & B’s. GPA went boom.

How does my dad react to the good news?

“Well that’s not fair to the people that work hard the whole time and don’t slack off for the first year.”

“Dad, I wasn’t slacking, I just didn’t know how to do school yet…I was still really trying.”

“Well that’s not fair to the people that work hard all the time.”

1. I've never had almond milk, it sounds interesting. 2. That is a horrible response. 3. This is 99% unrelated but I was a little kid and had painted my nails silver and was proud of myself, and showed my dad and he said "you look like a hooker" and I wanted to punch him for that shit. Are parents all really this fucking stupid? Like, you do something you are proud of and they shoot it down and then people wonder why there are mass murderers. *rage* 4. You're effing gorgeous, by the way.

I’ve never been a fan much of the commercial stuff…but the homemade stuff is AMAZING.

Yeah, your dad sounds like my dad! It’s astounding the shit parents can say. This really says it all.

I’ve got so many other stories like that. Like when I was in grade two I hated my school picture, so I scratched it up and wrote ‘ugly’ all over it, and my dad walked in after I did it, and yelled at me for “wasting his money”.

Or the time it got out that I was throwing away my lunch at school, so I could lose weight, and be accepted- when he freaked for ‘throwing away food/money.’

Thanks though. It helps to hear there are some people out there that get it and are supportive. <3

So, my dad LOVES almond milk. I bought some almond syrup for my coffee years back (when I lived at home) and he polished off half a bottle adding it to his (cow) milk. When I found out I was like, dad, just buy almond milk! And then he finally did. He loves the stuff. So since i've made my own almond milk, I was excited to share with him how easy and delicious it was.
Me: Hey dad, guess what I started yesterday and today with?
Dad: a walk?
Me: nope, fresh homemade almond milk! It was so good, you would love it.
Dad: I would love it if you went for more walks.
...
Silly me, accidentally letting my guard down, thinking my sharing something he would enjoy would afford a civil conversation. NOPE. The man never misses an opportunity to express his shame and disapproval with me!
(And then he told me what a waste of time and money making you own almond milk is.)

no wonder i need so much therapy

ah, summer in Vancouver.

the season of not being able to leave my windows open because my neighbours are constantly getting high on their balcony!

Right? obvs anon cannot read. we should start a centre for assholes who can’t read good (and who wanna learn to be good people too) for such poor unfortunate souls.

musicachick Asks:

Does that last Anon not realize that big and tall stores and plus-sized ladies' stores exist specifically because it's often hard to find clothes that fit well in other stores? Like, getting mad that they don't carry size 0 would be like getting mad that a vegetarian restaurant doesn't serve meat.

Be CEO of trendy clothes store. Release statement saying how fatties suck (they do) and they shouldn't wear your clothes. Fatties get angry, demand fair treatment. Release new line of XL+ clothes. Fatties buy up new line of fat clothes to spite CEO. CEO laughs as profits soar. Thanks fatties. On a side note, you don't hear skinny people getting pissed that big and tall stores don't have size 0 items. Fucking gtfo with your righteous indignation and go back to eating your feelings.
