A look at beauty?

Today I slept in quite late, ignoring the fact that dad came to update my internet security (Because I spent too long on the computer before going to bed and I couldn't sleep).
I have a feeling that Tom may have attempted what he set out to do. I think this because it is possible and because I think I may sometimes have some kind of psychic (Or something or other) abilities (Though most of the time it could be put down to pure coincidence, an acute knowledge of, what is commonly called, "Sod's law" (If this term is deemed inappropriate please notify me and I will change it) and because I can predict how certain people will react) I like to think of it as being sort of, sometimes psychic . I shall find out if my suspicions are correct when Tom returns (Assuming he hasn't been kidnapped that is ).

I'm pleased to say that after four hours of either nearly falling asleep or shivering while waiting for the water to warm up in the bath I no longer feel like a prune . I know what you must be thinking, four hours in the bath; well, I find that the bath is a good place to think and it's wonderfully relaxing (When the water's warm enough). Things are also a bit blurry in the bath because I take my glasses off (Something about me I didn't tell you, I'm very short sighted, have been for roughly 12 years give or take).
Also, I have only recently eaten my breakfast/lunch/dinner in the form of a turkey sandwich with pickled onions and two mince puffs (Something I decided to try as an alternative to mince pies). Yes, I know it's silly but I'm not usually hungry at this sort of time during the holidays and sitting around all day doing nothing doesn't really require that much energy, anyway it's not like I'll waste away; I have an excessive amount of body fat for the average 18 year old.
I've never been skinny, I used to think that I'd be happier if I were a bit thinner but now I think who cares, it's my body and if I'm happy being large then what's the problem.
I can't help having noticed that all of the skinny girls in my school hardly have anything to fill their bras while the bigger girls most definitely do. According to Tom, I'm not the only one to have noticed it, males notice as well, though they often want a combination of the two, a slender, large breasted girl.
It amazes me how peoples ideas of beauty changes over time. At one point plump, pale women were considered beautiful because it symbolized that they were wealthy so they didn't need to work (Hence the plumpness) and didn't need to go outside much (Hence the paleness). But now a woman must be thin with ample cleavage and have a natural looking tan.
Interesting how ideals change, isn't it?
It makes me wonder what the next idea of beauty will be. I'm betting that it'll be women that look like rakes and I mean really really skinny, as that seems to be the road we're going down .

Well, this wasn't supposed to turn into a rant about beauty, but that's how it's turned out. Oh well, at least it's a meaty entry for everyone to really sink their teeth into instead of the scrawny kind that are creeping into my blog now .
I should have some interesting things to say for tomorrow because I'm going to my Aunt's to see the family.

Bluebiird out.
