It is such a bizarre moment when I get notification emails for fics of mine that are ten years old (and terrible) lmao
Or asking if you’re ever going to finish the unfinished ones from 2006 from a series you don’t even watch anymore.
i stopped believing in things once trix cereal stopped being shaped like fruit
What if they still are shaped like fruit but trix is for kids and we’re not kids anymore so we just see boring cereal?
fuck
Oh god but I told the Toys R Us giraffe that I didn’t wanna grow up that bastard lied to me!

On our way to Iowa State University for the Women and Gender Studies Award Ceremony. I’m getting an Alumni Award!
Recently I was in the shopping mall and I happened to hear a conversation between some people discussing their dislike for this black girl’s hairstyle who had just previously walked by. One of them called the girl’s hairstyle “ghetto”, then followed up by saying “I hate when black girls put all them colors in their hair”. It led me to ask this question, what is ghetto really? Because I have seen similar hairstyles with Caucasian women never labeled as ghetto. The word “ghetto” has a negative stigma attached to it and it seems like ghetto has become synonymous for “Black People”.
What determines whether something is Ghetto or not? Why do some people consider one ghetto and not the other? Is being crafty with the supplies available to me ghetto? Is being creative while black unacceptable? Does the price of something determine whether you should consider it ghetto or not? Or maybe I’m wrong…. Please do share your thoughts….
@hated_logicYou’re exactly right. Just like when Black people improvise, it’s ghetto, but let a middle-to-upper class white person do it, it’s a lifehack, or being thrifty, or economical, or thinking out of the box, or brilliant, or whatever.
THIS FOR ALL OF ETERNITY
O.K. wow can we talk about this? Because this is totally true. Back in high school there was a girl who would color her hair based on the shirt she wore, and so she was, obviously, “ghetto” right? But even we believed it to be true because that’s pretty much what we’re told, that this is “ghetto.” But then I went off to college and got older and I would see white girls with the same colors in their hair but for them it was “cool,” “hip,” “unique,” and it never really occurred to me that, wow, that’s the same thing this black girl was doing back in high school. Hell, I’ve had colors in my hair and want more colors in my hair and as cute as I think it will be and as cute as my wifey thinks it’ll be I wonder how many people are going to be like, “Ghetto.”
And it’s crazy because it’s not just white people discriminating, in fact, I grew up in Chicago so all of the comments about color in hair = ghetto came from black girls, they were the ones giving that girl a hard time. The only thing I ever got was when I had braids in college and the, “Wow can you actually wash your hair like that?”
It’s crazy and I hate the hair standards (that’s what I call it), like I remember coming home from college one year after I got rid of the braids and just stopped caring about my hair because, who has time for that in between classes, and being told my hair was jacked because I didn’t have it “done,” and I was like, “I was busy at school, that’s kinda more important,” but no, still got the, “Well damn couldn’t you find SOMEONE to do your hair?”

“I know I’m your baby~ Like you keep sayin’! I wanna be free don’t treat me like a child~ I’m never changin’ as I grow older! Forever the same! Shorty and the EZ-Mouse! ”
I love that game to bits, I really do. It was my childhood and I use to go around my house singing and dancing to Shorty’s songs so much my brothers would call me Shorty. <3
I use to play this in high school with one of the few friends I had who was into video games and, omg, he like opened my eyes to something magical. Talk about franchises that need to be revamped, even if it’s just on the 3DS or something it would be beautiful. I mean it was fun and the music was super catchy!
Oh my god, yes. Back in my day before your guitars and your heroes were games like this with super addictive music and crazy characters and dance moves. I loved this series so much!
