| I will smoke the occasional cigarette when I am drunk. I tend to do this very seldom.
I would not do this sober. |

| When I go home I will tell you what letters I still have on my iBook.
As this is a total of about 7 letters, it would be quicker than telling you what letters I don't have.  |

| YAY
Well, after not being involved with surf lifesaving since 2003 or maybe at the latest 2004, I've finally managed to get back into things. On this weekend just past, I got "proficient" again, and am now a patrolling member of the Seacliff Surf Lifesaving Club. For those of you who have no idea what Surf Lifesaving is, here are some pictures at Google Images and a Wikipedia Article. On the weekend, I got "proficient", which meant I had to pass a series of tests to basically prove that I can competently save lives. I had to learn the current procedure for resuscitation, be tested on how to use the Oxygen equipment for oxygen-assisted resuscitation as well as an oropharyngeal airway (a little tube you put down people's throat to make sure they have a clear airway). I also had to do a run-swim-run (100m run, 200m swim, another 100m run) and a rescue. I passed all of it, although only just with the run-swim-run, as there is a time restriction and I had trouble running fast enough. I need to work on running and get up my cardiovascular fitness.... running is hard work! My swim was okay. Course, with all this testing, I did manage to get myself nice and sunburned too... I posted a photo (zomg nude photo) in the Photo Album thread showing off some fairly good medium-brown / pink sun-burned flesh. I'm happy I finally managed to get my shit together again and get back into it Now I just get to patrol again... first patrol is next Sunday.
Been a while since I patrolled, this oughta be fun  And by "fun" I mean I think I remember it being hard work some of the time, and then dull as hell the rest of the time.... bleh...
Yay me! |

| I keep seeing this thread and it keeps pissing me off. I hate the thread title, because I disagree with it. Drug assisted rape (date rape) is still rape.
Thread itself is silly. |

Originally posted by emcee That wasn't my point. *sigh* I dunno, I guess being a double rape victim just makes me sensitive to the words "It's not necessarily rape if they can't say no". ~_~ Whatever, talking about this is just going to make me more pissed off especially if people are gonna fuck with me over it. |

| No, but if i were to get one, I'd buy an iSight by Apple. Lovely, clear pictures.
I have a Digital Camera I use to take my various bad photos with. |

| Yes. Oh well. It's just been pissing me off since the thread was created and I've been wishing the thread would die for some time now. But then I've known people who legitimately hold that opinion... oh well. I'll stop hijacking the thread now, just had to get that out of my system. (edited by Tarale on 11-05-06 11:28 PM) |

Hey, do you think a picture of me in my Surf Lifesaving uniform could go in the Costume thread? After all, I'm apparently an "Aussie Icon", the sun-bronzed Aussie Surf Lifesaver.  Hmm??
I think I will try to post a photo of me in my uniform later
And ocean swimming is definitely quite different from pool swimming. In pool swimming you never have to think about swimming to adjust for any rip or other currents, and you get your own lane so you don't have to worry about swimming amongst the pack / fighting your way around a buoy. There's no jellyfish to watch out for, and no waves to duck under / cause you to swallow water / bodysurf in. Surf swimming is awesome  |

Originally posted by Kasumi-Astra No, it's not a job... it's a volunteer organization. I can uh... do it for uh.. the glory? I dunno, I keep the beaches safe, I may or may not save a life, help an injured person, ensure people swim in the safest area, save somebody who is in distress... etc. Or I might just sit on the beach hungover for several hours and get severely sunburned. |

Hmm... I'm not sure if lying down on the beach asleep really counts as "looking important". In fact, I tend to do it as hidden as possible so I don't look as hungover and hopeless as I am  |

| Yes. Not often. Usually as pain relief, as it actually makes me pretty scatterbrained and I tend to not wish to be like that in a social setting.
I use it when my ovary starts up the stabbing pains. It hasn't done that for a while though. |

| I might just be tired, but I thought the point was that people attach a negative connotation to the word "drugs" when what they really mean is certain (usually illegal) psychoactive drugs. It kinda bugs me a little, but that's just me being nitpicky I guess.
I take LOTS and LOTS of drugs (okay, fine 3 prescription medications and an over-the-counter one) And I might get to stop taking the over the counter one if I can get my doctor to test (and treat if necessary) for helicobacter pylori (acid-reflux causing stomach bug).
As for my weed smoking, I haven't had to do it in a long while, since I changed the contraceptive pill I was on. The previous pill was supposed to manage the pains, but... didn't. This one is more expensive (ahh boo) but does. So no weed for a few months now, and only one or two incidences of big-fat-stabby-owies. But I like to have the option there in case I do need it -- I would rather smoke some marijuana for the pain than be put on an addictive (possibly narcotic-based) analgesic. At least I know I won't (and am not) be addicted to the pot. Besides, several strong analgesics make me even goofier than weed does. |

| I'm gonna say that pot would very very rarely give somebody hallucinations by itself. I don't know anyone who has hallucinated from pot (and I know LOTS of pot smokers -- I live in fricken Adelaide -- LOTS of people here smoke or grow it.
However, with all the chemicals that are used to grow pot nowadays, it wouldn't surprise me if people get unexpected side effects from that. It's getting rarer and rarer to get weed that is just weed... it's usually weed + a whole bunch of wacky hydroponic chemicals. And it certainly wouldn't surprise me if some of those chemicals cause a hallucination in some people who are sensitive to it. |

| TV pisses me off. Movies piss me off. Magazines, the newspaper, advertisements, everything... pisses me off.
Pretty much all media shows this "ideal" of women being well... very skinny. There's very few media campaigns that don't - I think the Dove "real beauty" thing is one of the few that doesn't -- but just about everything else portrays fairly unrealistic and unachievable views of "beauty". Womens magazines in particular just seem to tell you that you must look and dress and everything a certain way or more or less leave you feeling ugly. Which makes me wonder, what do guys really think about the way girls look? I know some guys also impose the unrealistic expectations of beauty upon girls -- I've even seen some men call an already underweight girl "fat" because she didn't look like an airbrushed model. But I doubt this is really the norm... So guys... what do you think about girls bodies? Do you think that super skinny girls are the ideal, or do you like a woman with a bit more meat on her? |

Originally posted by Silvershield See, this "the media", by which I was referring to advertising, television, movies, newspapers, and magazines in a general sense. This, and other women (as Kailieann mentioned) are where girls hear what boys supposedly "like" or find attractive. But you don't often hear from blokes any real opinions. I dunno if they just don't talk about this stuff in female company much or what, but generally as a girl, I don't hear much besides the occasional "such and such an actress is hot". There's also the staring at your chest when you talk thing, so I'm pretty sure boys either like breasts or I've dropped some of my lunch down there. So I was curious to find out if the images in "the media" are in any way reflective of real blokes real opinions on feminine beauty. I'm also mildly annoyed at "the media" and had a bit of a vent, because I do think that there's more to beauty than that very narrow view, nor do I like the method of trying to market a product by making people feel bad. But this doesn't mean you need to imply that I am a lazy, whining idiot with poor self-image issues. You said you weren't trying to sound malicious, but then you went out of your way to specifically single me out in your edit anyway... I'm really quite offended. I'll thank you to mind your manners in future. |

| Well... the edit could have simply said "people in general" instead of putting me specifically in the edit, cause then it looks like the post is criticizing me.
As for one reason perhaps why girls notice stuff in the media a lot, perhaps is that we know we're judged by our bodies a lot, by both genders. Girls are usually a little more subtle about it though. Guys aren't. They openly leer at me on the train, they try (poorly) to disguise their staring in the elevator. On my walk home every day, I consistently attract either a wolf whistle, yell or honk from the men driving by (almost daily basis). On a daily basis, I know men are looking at my body and judging it. Women judge other women's bodies too, but they're much much more subtle. And I've never had a woman lean out the window and shout "show us yer tits love" at me
I dunno if guys are as openly stared at and such like that, by either gender. |

| I was just trying to state what it was that gave me that impression, Silvershield. Thanks for clearing that up.
And I agree, the problem is more global. I'm guessing each culture has its own twist on the "ideal", but I'm sure there are girls everywhere comparing themselves to the pictures / video of girls about. However, I've been happy to see some positive, more realistic things happening -- like those Dove campaigns for "real beauty", and some fashion shows requiring models with a healthier (although still technically underweight) BMI. As for eating disorders, I'd say there's certainly more to it than what is seen in the media. I doubt the media directly causes many problems -- it might in a few people (ie, possibly younger, impressionable teens). A lot of people with eating disorders often also have conditions such as Clinical Depression. Many victims of rape/sexual abuse also develop eating disorders. I don't think the media is the whole problem, or even the cause of the problem in the majority of cases. But I do think that it's likely to reinforce things for people who have a problem. Another issue that was raised (off this thread) had to do with healthy women, which I think is important. Some of the women in advertising aren't healthy.... some even take amphetamines and other drugs to keep the weight off. And I'm also curious as to things outside of weight alone people For example -- build (ie, athletic), shape (ie, pear) style/dress sense (ie, do you find a girl who shows off a lot of cleavage attractive, or offputting?) etc. Some women are really fussy about their skin... but I think freckles can be cute. And do guys even notice a girl's hair? C'mon people, there's more to this than just weight |
