The 650lb Virgin

Kind of ironic. I was watching my umpteenth episode of a tv show (where four doctors discuss medical topics and answer people’s questions) when I realized that so much of so many people’s lives resolve around sex. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that it is not just on tv, its’ also in books, in real life and everywhere. People seem to be obsessed with sex. It interferes with their lives, keeps them from making rationale decisions and gets in between them and their goals in life (if they can even stop thinking about sex long enough to have goals). I was always satisfied to be a virgin before but since having this revelation, I am even more satisfied with my life.

So, anyway, back to the 650lb virgin. I was flipping through the channels after finishing the doctor’s show and thinking about how I should write a blog. The blog would be about how my life is and how I see the world through my ‘un-sexed’ colored lenses (haha), when I saw a show about a man who recently lost a bunch of weight and is now looking for a love life. He is over 30 years old, now skinnier and also a virgin. It was ironic, I tell you, very ironic. So, I decided then and there that I was going to start my blog, ASAP, which as it turns out is a few days later when I got so bored that I needed to do something to keep from going crazy.

Girl / Lady / Woman / Female

I wanted to share some information with you about myself but I was stuck on how to do it. I wrote 'I am a 27 year old female'. I didn't like the word 'female', it seemed so medical. Then I wrote, 'I am a 27 year old woman'. I erased that too, feels so old. I am simple and fun loving, not some uptight business woman or something like that. Lady seemed like the next choice but was too prissy. The only other word I could think of was 'girl' but I certainly should have outgrown that label by now. Even if kids are always asking me if I am an adult or how come I am not a "real" grownup (more on this another time).



So, here's what I came up with............ I am 27 years old, and for now, I refuse to categorize myself with the terms currently available here in the US. Maybe in the future, I will feel more like a 'woman' or I'll want to be more 'lady'-like but for now those just aren't me. Maybe others feel this way, maybe others don't. Either way, it doesn't matter to me.

Say Anything

Lots of free time lately so I thought I'd use some of my time writing a blog. Who knows maybe I like it? This blog will be about a variety of things, mostly random and unimportant. I will try to keep it fun but I am not know for my sense of humor so if it's not fun for you, remember this: no one is making you read it.


Three words I use to describe me: organized, honest, opinionated.

Three words other people might use to describe me: anal, rude, stubborn.

Seems like the same three words to me, mine just sound better.


Right now, I want to talk about the last word I used, opinionated (after all, that's the fun one). I have opinions about everything, from parenting to food to clothes to how to spell a word or name. My opinions do a lot of things but most often they get me in trouble (oh well), cause fights (too bad) or create problems (yup). They also don't change (not much). In an attempt to stop all the troubles my opinions get me into (their fault-not mine), I am going to use my extra energy to put my opinions here instead of out in the real world. Figured, this can be a little experiment to try and see if my life gets easier without so many of my opinions causing trouble. Think it will work? Sound too good to be true? Who knows but I am going to find out.
