    Don't know if that chocolate philadelphia would be any good for cheesecake, I think it's low fat :( I do want to try it on a digestive biscuit but I can't find it anywhere.

    Ugh, it's light? Never mind :P

    Regular cream cheese mixed with a little lemon zest on a digestive is pretty great!

    Bah. Suppose I'll just have to stick with the old cheddar slice + chocolate square combo for my cheese and chocolate fix!

    :eek: Really?!? Is that any good?

    Next week in college is International Women's Week and there are lots of events planned for it. I'm quite involved in the Gender Equality Society as well as Amnesty International so I'll be super busy!

    I'm taking a study break and watching a documentary on vaginal cosmetic surgery because there's going to be a talk on it next week and I want to be informed. It's very sad and quite a bit scary too, the way some people think their vaginas are malformed need surgery to look "normal", especially teenage girls aged 14 and 15. :(

    A guy did an art installation called The Great Wall of Vagina because he was so horrified about the growing number of women having that surgery. He basically got thousands of women to take plaster casts of themselves and made them into a huge mosaic to show that they literally come in every shape and size imaginable. It's actually quite amazing-looking.

    I read about that Honey-ec and thought it was great- the one thing that annoyed me about it was I thought it should have been called The Great Wall of Vulva seeing as that's what the plaster casts were of...

    I've just looked it up there, it's amazing! I love how diverse the range of people are:
    The 9 metre long polyptych consists of four hundred plaster casts of vulvas, all of them unique, arranged into ten large panels. McCartney set out to make this project as broad and inclusive as possible. The age range of the women is from 18 to 76. Included are mothers and daughters, identical twins, transgendered men and women as well as a woman pre and post natal and another one pre and post labiaplasty.

    (From here)

    It's weird how nobody has ever told me that vaginas can be different. I kind of assumed for a long time that everyone's looked the same and if they didn't, there had to be something wrong. Glad I know differently but it's just odd how it's never really discussed or brought up, at least not in my experience.

    I do know what you mean but at the same time no other part of your body looks the exact same as someone else, same idea but not the same mold.

    Today is kicking my ass already...I spilled a load of liquid pig fat all down my front earlier, not pleasant at all:(

    I'm giving up on helping my OH fill out forms. Everytime I do and I have to tell him he'll have to do things he doesn't want to I get the head bit off me.
    He's now in a strop cause I told him he'd have to drop into welfare (I said it in a nice way, said I'd drive, I'd wait with him and if he did it he won't spent days waiting for a phone call back from them and getting more stressed in the process). I also said I'd try call on his behalf but that was shot down. It seems I'm a selfish heartless cow for making him do things like that when he's so stressed.
    I love him, but he's the worst in the world to fight with. Always makes me feel like sh*t.

    Oh and now I'm told I don't care that his dad is in hospital. It's amazing how quickly he forgot about last weekend.
    Leave him be now for the minute. You're only trying to help and it's not fair that you're getting the head bitten off you. Just take a step back and do something nice for yourself instead. He's not willing or in the right place to be helped, his head might be on his dad in hospital and he's taking that frustration out on this form filling business. Go have a nice coffee and a sit down for yourself. He'll come round.

    @Bubblefett............Your bf reminds me very much of myself...

    I get incredibly stressed when i have to do any type of paperwork like that. Grant and College applications were a nightmare the past few years. I don't know why but I make such a stupid big deal out of them:(

    He'll calm in a while and don't worry, he won't mean to be unkind (at least I don't anyway when my head gets wrecked by stupid forms):)

    I was in Heatons earlier and bought myself the Jerome Alexander stackables set that has a mineral foundation, 4 eye shadows and a blusher for €19.99 and I'm delighted. I love the foundation, it feels like I'm wearing none and it looks great! :D

    but omg, transformers 2? doesn't that come with a health warning on the DVD "If accidentally watched, induce vomitting"? :pac:

    I remember sitting in the cinema, feeling like I was there for an eternity and just itching for it to end.

    I'm not a film buff in any way and also I've not really seen a lot of movies made recently but is it just me or were films a lot more violent in the 80's and 90's. I mean I have seen a few of the saw's and hostel to me were just gross but I can think of a really violent movie made recently.

    And yes I'm procrasting...

    I met the boyfriend's parents last week in my official capacity as his girlfriend. I spent 50 minutes delicately painting every single pore in my face my face trying to achieve a natural fresh look. :pac:

    Thanks Maple and KittyeeTrix.
    Ah he doesn't deal well with stress and I was having a bad morning = morning spent killing eachother.
    All grand now, his mom called me over to hers to write an email to his dad's doctors and that it put it all in perspective for both of us. Some fights just aren't worth it
