Sparkly Moron

So yesterday being International Woman's Day I was thinking about the future of women. Because lets face it, we don't have total equality. But then I thought about the people of the world in general, how so many gay people are still considered second rate citizens all around the world. Even in the states, which many believe to be the leaders of the world. In Canada we've had gay marriage for 10 years, yet there's still the struggle for equality around the rest of the world. I also started thinking about how the feminist movement has actually gone backwards, I heard on the radio today that more and more men feel that the woman should take his name when they are married. The number has actually gone up, something like 25% since the mid 90's! Ugh, I dunno I being a feminist am very much against oppression, I believe everyone should do as they wish and if they don't wish to change their name no one, not even their future husband can tell them to change. And governments can't tell people that they can't get married just because the people whom they love are the same sex. Love is love people!
But the thing that bothers me the most is the Twilight series, because I was thinking about how the series as a whole. This girl is an idiot, she doesn't think for her self or about her self. She allows that sparkly moron to be her thoughts. All of her aspirations are to, not marry the sparkly moron, but to have sex with the sparkly moron. Now I wouldn't have issue with this if it weren't so freakin popular! Because I, over my life time have gained so many role models for various reasons, some of them even being fictional characters. So I know that out there, millions of tweenaged girls want to be like Bella Swan, when they should aspire to be more like Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Anne Shirley, even Mia Thermpopolis if we as the young women of today want to start the fourth (and hopefully final) wave of feminism. Because being Bella Swan will actually set us back.
Hopefully my point got across in that rant.
OK. What else... hmm... oh BIG NEWS IN MY LIFE! So as I have said numerous times before Daniel Radcliffe is my celeb crush, and still is. But my obsession I have to admit all of a sudden died down. Like I went to bed Saturday night, woke up Sunday morning and was like OK, time to move on. Time to grow up, it was weird. But I more importantly I realized that its not so much him that my obsession was based around, but rather that he (the person he is during television interviews) perfectly personifies my ideal soul mate. Which I pretty well covered here I guess thinking about the sparkly moron and the swan that I shouldn't latch my dreams onto a man, because lets face it so many women have been successful with out a significant others in their lives. But not just that, there's no way that he and I will ever interact one on one, and not in a mega superstar- and obsessive uber fan manner. Not that to say, if I ever did catch his eye I would say no... I guess in many ways I owe this epiphany to this lovely lady it showed me that for my one obsession, theres a gazillion other girls like me. So yeah, my epiphany.
Yes I do realize a slight contrast of ideas here, but what ever that's how the human brain works. In a slight hypocritical way.
Now to the Friday question about lists. As many people who know me personally know I am currently crossing off a list, that list is my Oscar List. I am attempting to watch every film that has ever won an Oscar for best picture. Now I decided to do this last year, so I only cross off what I've seen since the beginning of 2010 and I am currently at 29/83 which means that I at 35%. Now there are many some films that I have seen before, like The Kings Speech, but I decided that I would watch them again but as apart of the Oscar List. I also have a list of 40 things I want to do in my life time, which I wrote when I was about 14/15... maybe even 16... some of these things include falling in love, having kids, do the skeleton or luge, traveling the entirety of Yonge street, following a yellow brick road. I have from this list crossed off 7 things, but some will happen with in a little while. Like having a Harry Potter movie marathon, and having champaign on my champaign birthday. So yeah, those are my two major lists. Other then that I organize my homework by lists, just because it helps me visualize exactly what I need to accomplish in my day.
Yeah Lists!
Ok. Thats it, I'm really tired and I think I'm getting sick :/
