The Force Awakens... it truly did.

Let me first tell you how I decided to see the new Star Wars movie... because really, I was on the fence about it and kind of like "eventually, I will see this."

Cue to me scrolling the internet (like ya do.) And seeing this post:


First of all, is that the guy from Girls? Is it? What?

Then this conversation happened with my roommate and quasi-roommate. (She's basically at our house more than our ACTUAL other roommate... she just doesn't pay rent... yet. Soon Kristi. Soon.) Also, for the record, I will refer to the roommate as Jennie and I am not talking to myself in the third person.

Me: who is kylo?
Jennie: This awful dramatic guy in Star Wars.
Me: But is he the guy from Girls?
Jennie: I haven't watched that
Me: Is he one of the brothers from the movie about death and Jason Bateman is in it? (P.S it's called This is Where I Leave You and it's great)
Kristi: Yes
Me: Let's go see Star Wars
Jennie: what?
Me: Yah, he's my favorite Disney princess. I need to see why. So, let's go see Star Wars, like...now.

And so we did.

So let me just tell you my reaction in pictures without any spoilers because.. yah, I am not that much of a dick... all the time.

First of all....
Poe Dameron 

He's like the O'brien Martell (GoT) of Star Wars. I loved him immediately. 

BB-8
Shut up, I'll take 10. 

Finn
You are perfect. I want to be your friend. 

Han Solo (and Chewbacca)
Harrison Ford, I love you. I know. Also, you are so brave Chewie. (Insert wookie noise here)

Kylo Ren

IT IS THE GUY FROM GIRLS!!!!!!OMG YOU ARE MY FAVORITE DISNEY PRINCESS EVER!  _#(*)%#&)*# I wanna be on the dark side just to watch your drama! 

Princess Leia
Carrie Fisher. You can get it. Beauty. Grace. Magic. My heart totally felt it. You knew, I knew. You are magic. The original bad ass, lets be honest. 

And lastly....
Rey

Girl you are fierce. And an awesome strong women role in this movie. Like Jesus Christ, what a bad ass! Smart, Funny, Awesome. Win. Girl Crush Acquired. 

In conclusion....

    Omg You are wonderful friend. I felt the same about Kylo, never called him a Disney Princess but I did call him new age goth who acted out because he didn't like his toys or something. ..you know rebellious teen. "Woah is me, im so conflicted!" Rey is making feminism look AWESOME! Way to step it up Disney!....please dont turn her into another Miley...I will murder who's in charge there. CARRIE, girl there needs to be more women in power like you. I want you to be mom. I would never turn to the dark side. And Finn,the sweetest non violent storm trooper ever. I loved how in the first 6 movies, there is no emotions to the troopers, the audience doesn't connect that YES they too are part of something. ..until Finn reminds us, also little girl Yoda is a bad ass! Anyways needless to say I think you should borrow the 6 movies before then. A friend of mine from work did and it change her world. Doing my part to keep the Force alive in all our hearts. I BELIEVE IN IT. NO RELIGION SO POWERFUL THAN THE BELIEF IN YOURSELF. -chelly burd

I'm So Sorry That You Have to Have A Body....

 I was walking through a crowed casino hall on New Years Eve with my then boyfriend and friend, we were making our way to the area where there was supposed to be a balloon drop at midnight and I was really excited to be spending my first New Years Eve with my boyfriend – some parts because I managed to get him out of the house with me, but mostly because I have always loved New Years Eve.  It always represented a change for me where one door closes an another one opens. New Year, new me and all that jazz. Thought I have never been one for New Years Resolutions, I have always liked the magic of something new.  As we made our way through the crowed a women made a rude comment about my weight which I ignored because I was used to it, but also because I was on a mission to kiss a very attractive man under a shower of balloons.   The comment, however, was very triggering to my friend and she rushed off and out of the casino. Not wanting her to be alone and to figure o...

Combat, I'm Ready for Combat. I Say I Don't Want That But What if I do?

Here is how body image issues get to me: Yesterday my active wear from Lane Bryant arrived after much anticipation. I was so excited that I didn’t waste any time putting on the elastic pants pulling them up over my large hanging stomach and feeling the thick band secure around my waist. Skeptically I walked briskly out of the bathroom and around our downstairs living area. The pants stayed firmly around my waist. I jiggled my body. Nothing. I beamed.   I sat down, then got up again. Beamed again. They were staying firmly around my hips and holding the hanging fat of my stomach closer to my body which helped moving around without issue.  This was monumental for me purely for the fact that I had always struggled with pants staying up around my waist and struggled even more with finding leggings or any type of pant that would allow me to move my body freely without constant disruption of holding my pants up with my hands. It’s not that I don’t like moving my body or exercising,...

Thanks for making me a fighter...

I have been thinking about what I wrote the other day on an instagram post regarding my hesitation of wearing clingy clothing and how I only made mention of not liking clingy clothing for the “exposure of my bumps and stomach.” As if it was a shame I had felt. Not expressing that my hesitation is not only tied to my changing view of my body and exposing parts I have been told to cover up. But also because publicly posting and existing in tight clothing allows more fodder for fetish and objectifiers. The boldness I truly spoke of was pushing past these people in effort to show that we are allowed to “not cover up” and opening myself up to them more. Its a really hard thing for me to move past because it makes me incredibly angry.  My words are easily minced with insecurity and lacking confidence because I am learning to retrain my own fat phobic auto responses in my views of myself and others. They are easily seen as deficient in conviction because fat bodies are not afforded these ...
