I follow quite a few blogs, some on blogger (which I read on google reader) and some on bloglovin. When I saw a few, I mean about 30 different blogs... :)
I follow different types of blogs too, thank god, right? I read fashion blogs, style blogs, proana blogs, philosophy blogs, psychology blogs, "thought" blogs, book review blogs, LGBT blogs, cooking blogs, game blogs and so on.
I like the different blogs and love to read things that make one think. For example I read about yuri (lesbian) movies, and decided to watch "But I'm a cheerleader". Not a bad movie, but not really a good movie either. It's about a girl, who gets sent to a "rehab for homosexuals" place. She didn't know she was a lesbian when she was sent there, but found out on the "journey to being normal". I'm not sure what year it's from, but it's got female/male roles, that they have to relearn. For example the main character and the other girls that are there have to learn how to cook, clean and care for their husbands. The males on the other hand have to learn to be manly and know manly things, like fixing a car. It's entertaining, but not something I'd watch sober again. Might watch it with friends while having a couple of drinks.

Being told not to, then told to
Contradictions... My family is so good at them. The best way to explain it is through examples...
When I was 6 or 7 I told my mom I wanted to be a chef, just like her and my big sister. She looked at me with disgust and told me I wasn't allowed to be one, because the family already had two, we didn't need a third. At school in grade 9 we told to start figuring out what we want to be. I can home and told my mother this and she told me I was suited for desk work because I wasn't a very smiley person... That was a couple of years ago... She told be last month that the man she works with thinks I'd make a good chef (I was working there for about 4 years as a dishwasher) and she asked me why I don't pursue that as a career? I looked at her like she was out of her mind and told her, that she had told me I wasn't allowed to be that. She then looked at me like I was crazy and said she had never said such a thing... What does that say about me? That I heard wrong? That I remembered incorrectly? That I am stupid for remembering something like that when clearly she doesn't...
Another example. My sister and I were watching tv and I commented on something, lets say it was about sharks. She will then discuss why what I said was wrong, I'll let her be and say I could be wrong, but I don't believe I am. We google it and what does it say? I'm right! -- About 2 weeks later we're watching and the same shark show is being broadcast. My sister then tells me a fact she learned on the internet about sharks.. the same fact I, 2 weeks ago, had told her. I say I knew that and that I had told her and she gets pissed and says that I'm lying... I have of course no way of proving I'm right and vice versa. Am I the only one in this family with a memory? Am I the only one that cares?
