freckles

She drew a hand across her cheek, wiping freckles from her face like beads of sweat strung as a pearl necklace. The sun strained through the clouds and filtered around her face, bringing the red out in strands she'd rather any other color. She envied the melanin, the way it could pack its suitcase and leave. The only thing standing between her and Panama was a boy who didn't know if she was right for him, but she saw something there that seemed brigther than the bands of light along ripples in the canal. Sometimes she felt she was the only one who could.

this is AWESOME

http://www.polaroid.com/pogo/us/howzc.html

Everyone was pretty much crying the day they heard Polaroid was halting the production of their instant film forever. However, they're doing some awesome shit over there, and that camera is proof. I'm a little hesitant to believe in the ZINK technology, but it sounds stuffed up enough with technical bits. The camera itself is 5MP quality... still skeptical about the quality.

Oh well. That's badass regardless.

dude


have you ever seen a zebra finch? those things are BEAST. I mean, in a design sense they don't really make much-- bright orange cheeks, brown wings, white and black throat, tan and mahogany spots... at least, the males stick out as color coordination gone horribly, horribly wrong, but dude. They are pretty sweet. Man, I want one now. In twenty years when I'm out of debt, I'm making a zoo in my house.

10 reasons to date chubby girls

As a chubby girl I have compiled this list as to why it's pretty legit to date one of us. Sure, I'll have whoever's friends with me on this blog thing going 'ur not chubby!!1' and it'll probably be pretty derogatory, but I think it's pretty hilarious. So, here's a list as to why a man would be lucky with a pudgy girl. (: <3>

--

1) loyalty!
Most chubby girls are confident but not extremely, so you can be guaranteed they won't cheat on you. They're usually grateful for whoever they're with and any affection they get, so you can rest assured that they won't go tramping around.

2) adorableness!
Almost all chubby girls are adorable, caring, and sweet, and will try everything to make you happy. Once again, they're delighted with anyone who stops and gives them a smile from time to time. They will bend over backwards to give you everything you could ever want.

3) darwin's best friends!
Though unable to run long distances, they will be able to feed off their own bodies longer in survival situations and can use their fat reserves when you're dying of starvation. (And in cannibalistic environments, they taste better, though aren't very nutritious. Use with caution.)

4.) cuddlers!
Chubby girls are the best cuddlers. They giggle a lot and are perfect to snuggle up against when you're cuddling. Which leads to...

5) a great source of warmth!
Many chubby girls are their own heaters and can pass this heat onto you when you're cold. They're often so warm that when sleeping next to them, you don't even need a blanket. They're just pure happiness and warmth in one body.

6) strong!
You don't have to worry about taking them out on dangerous adventures. If they fall on their butts, they won't break anything. (True story: A guy told me after I fell on my bum on black ice, 'good thing you're not as small as me or you'd break a bone!' Asshole. But true.)

7) entertaining!
Chubby girls have to get by on more than looks, so you can guarantee her personality is a winner if you're dating her. They're generally charming, friendly, charismatic and pretty damn funny when it comes down to it.

8.) great friend protection!
Chances are your friends aren't going to be into your girl if she's not super hot and a skank, so you can be confident that you can have her all to yourself. Good!

9.) big breasts!
... sorry, just had to say it. <3>

10.) grateful!
You can always be sure the girl will be happy with whatever happens, simply because she's come to appreciate that things aren't always constant or all puppies n' kittens. As sad as it is, some people will treat her differently because she doesn't fit into the societal bracket of attractive and hot women. This doesn't mean she hates her life, but rather, she's come to appreciate everything else unlike some people who are concerned with life only skin deep.

Tips:
- Chubby girls still have high standards! They aren't easy to catch or sway, but once you do, you'll be glad.
- They're all ticklish. Every single one of them. Some might enjoy the attention, but some might cry before you even touch them. Consider carefully your options.
- You don't need to lavish them in compliments to try and move their confidence levels, but a little one now and again won't hurt.
