Hey you know that vine of ‘bag lady’ Jenny Bevan strutting down the Oscars carpet in her leather jacket, to the absolute horror of everyone around her?

My mother in law (like virtually every woman in the world) looks and dresses much more like Jenny Bevan than she looks like the average woman at the Oscars, and like most people she buys into the whole ‘even a little bit fat = no pride or success for you, lady!’ thing the media is so fond of

…and she watched that damn vine like fifteen times over my shoulder. Then later on Facebook I saw this from her:

So, uh, shout out to Jenny Bevan for being really good representation for older/not size zero women, I guess?

Was rather persistently wolf-whistled at by two guys today while walking with my boyfriend (Was it because of the short dress? It’s probably because of the short dress.) My boyfriend solved the problem by shouting back ‘You’re not my type, mate!’. Not another peep out of them. A+ boyfriending

An update on my life:

-I have a place on a social care course and at the end of it you get a job ??? How is this going to go wrong? It sounds too good to be true, although I’m reassured it isn’t

-It starts on the EXACT DAY my family are going to see my grandmother for a week, now I can’t go…

Been an interesting day. I went to a job interview at a bridal shop in the village- it’s really nice, pretty stuff everywhere. I think I did okay, apparently the job may even include some blogging and obviously I’m all for that.

Then I got back and I have another interview, for a writing job, but it’s like a whole city away. I’m still going but it’ll cost a lot and they won’t reimburse me. Meep.

ANYWAY I have also been article-ing on Suite101, which has updated itself and is much more friendly now. There’s something about Spider-Man, something about Dane Dehaan, something about Star Trek, and something about fictional careers of fictional ladies (which is just an updated version of something I posted on here, but still.) Just don’t go back through my old articles, they’re rubbish…

It usually goes something like this:

You want to apply for a job. They email you a downloadable application form. You can’t fill out the application form because the program to fill it out is way out of your price range. So your choices are either a) print it out and post it, which for long forms can cost up to £10, or b) use Google Drive or something to fill it out, which makes the formatting go funny and might reduce your chances of getting the job. (if you’ve got 100+ CVs to go through, course you’re going to remove the oddly formatted ones first)

People don’t realise HOW EXPENSIVE job hunting actually is. Jobseekers isn’t enough to cover it.

Today’s been totally crazy-

1) Went for a school job interview, a hands-on one, I got to interact with the children and everything. I LOVED it…but I didn’t get the job. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever ever get one.

2) Hurricane news everywhere, Donald Trump being an ass about it, hope everyone is alright

3) STAR WARS EPISODE 7 DISNEY BUYING LUCASFILM THE HELL IS GOING ON

4) OH GOD ROMNEY MIGHT BE PRESIDENT IN A FEW WEEKS

THIS IS WHAT THE MAYANS WERE TALKING ABBBBBBBBBOUT
