My Heart

I felt like doing a song suggestion post, so here it is! The song is a couple of years old but it’s still sooo good and sad and all that. But anyway the song is My Heart by The Perishers

‘“Fat” is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her
I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain…

I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’

‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’

What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!

I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.”

Cruithne and Pluto

So anyway I’m watching QI( http://www.qi.com/tv/ )right now and they were discussing astronomy. One of the things they were discussing is that apperently for a period of time it was said that earth had TWO MOONS! Yeah that’s right apparently the moon wasn’t the only moon! The other moon was called 3753 Cruithne. But today it’s no longer considered a moon since it is only a quasi-satellite. 

This made me think of Pluto and how it went from being a planet to just being a dwarf planet. I don’t relay think that’s fair to say that Pluto is a planet but then be all like “no it can’t be a planet its to small”. Who decides what size it have to be, to be considered a planet? I mean Edna can’t be that much bigger than Pluto, so why are they considering Edna to be a planet but not Pluto? And wouldn’t it be a lot more fun if earth had two moons just not one?
