Discard the post I made earlier, I was in a mood and kind of bitchy. Long story short: people can be such assholes online, but I'm over it.

But exciting (to me anyway) news, TRICIA AND KATEE REPLIED TO MY COMMENT I WROTE TO THEM ON THEIR LIVE U-STREAM TONIGHT!!

It starts around 40:00min where Tricia reads my comment, which I wrote: "I've always wanted to ride motorcycles but some peopled laughed at me because I'm tiny and girlie and that they're too 'rough' for me. You two are truly role models, love you!" (I had to write it out twice, the chat board goes by so fast so that's why they have trouble reading all the comments), and this spawned them in giving a very nice speech about women being able to do whatever they wanted that makes them happy despite all the stereotypes. Which is what makes me love them even more. ♥

And what I wrote is absolutely true, I wasn't just writing it out so they could comment on it. For the longest time I've always had been interested in wanting to ride motorcycles but kind of got some flack from others who scoffed at me for thinking I could. I mean not maliciously, but rather as a side-comment like "yeah sure you could" kind of way. I know that women ride motorcycles, but because I'm small and tiny and definitely very girlie I got the impression that I would be laughed at. I don't know much about bikes in general but I would love to learn, I would love to test it out and see if it's something I would like doing or not, you know?

So thank you Tricia and Katee, you are true role models and inspirations and I love you even more than I have before. ♥ ♥ ♥

Yeah, and I know I shouldn't be thinking that because there are tons of tiny, girlie-girls that do all this tough shit all the time. But sometimes it's just an irrational nagging at your brain with all those kind of generalizations society has bred us with. I don't usually let it get to me because I AM INDEPENDENT WOMAN DAMMIT, it's just something I revert to from time to time because of some comments I've received during my lifetime.

And I loved the comments Katee mentioned about us just being women, how we get emotional about everything but we're still strong and can do whatever we want. Because it's so true and I applaud both of these lovely ladies in commenting on this issue.

I'm definitely going be considering taking lessons on motorbiking in the near future. It's on my queue list along with snowboarding and going to a shooting range. ;D
