Eeee I'm so excitedddd :DDD I'll post more when this comes up ^_^ I already have some stuff written so hopefully I won't forget at least XD
Also if my location says "watching *a ballet*", I'm probably actually watching it because I'm constantly watching one XD I've been watching Swan Lake pretty much all day with my Jellycats :P
submitted by Blackfooted Bobcat, age watching, Swan Lake!!! :D

Thanks for the encouragement and drinks!! I am receiving the hot chocolate gratefully and drinking it all. It's very cold here :(
I'm glad you're feeling better! I'm sorry you feel so sick all the time, that sounds horrible. Try not to push yourself too hard!
I'm pretty sure I know why you think the body positivity movement is bad, although I'd like to hear you explain why you think that in more detail. I'm very familiar, though.
I love hot chocolate too!! I always just usually make the swiss miss or something basic, so I don't think I've ever had truly amazing hot choco but I love it nonetheless. The other day I went to a cafe with my dad and we got takeout (a hot chocolate for me and a coffee for him) and he accidentally thought my drink was his and dumped three more packets of pure sugar in. It actually wasn't too bad, just veryyyy sweet.
ALSO I'm planning another ski lodge. I'm going to see how far I get in the next few days but I think I'm going to try and put it up soon. Preferably I'll try and do what I did last time (one part every other day) or even better one part per day but I might be too busy for that. I guess it depends on how productive I am during break.
My lit teacher just assigned me another essay to do over break which sucks. He's the worsttt uaaghaghaghh. At least today is the last day of school! I'm going to do work all morning during class and then go home after lunch so I can do more work yay! Anyway I have a holiday dinner later tonight which should be fun!

admins - is this better? i understand if you're not comfortable posting most of it; to summarize in case the rest gets taken out: I believe the movement ignores and misrepresents the vast majority of studies (even cherry-picking certain lines from studies that ultimately point to different findings) and most of the spaces bullies people if they consider even small amounts of weight loss, even if it's to treat a medical condition. also upon re-reading what i wrote i realized that i didn't explain why i was mentioning weight loss so much - mostly because people say that it's inherently impossible, which it isn't, and because of the afformentioned "bullying people who want to lose weight" thing. it did sound like i was pressuring it a lot more than i intended to.
BH, your previous comment has not been posted yet because it's so very, very, long, and I haven't had time to review it in detail. Are you OK if I don't post it at all? If not, I'll try to get through it later this evening, but I will likely also shorten it. We also avoid posting statements and reports about studies, etc., that we don't have time to fact check before posting. That's another reason why some comments are shortened. I hope you understand.

@admin: that's fair. i was hoping that was the issue (it was very long). i'm actaully glad that you want to fact check! a large part of the issue i was talking about was because people don't always.
i might just add a few of the details to the post i'm replying to so it's shorter, so i'll re-post it in a bit :D i think i will keep the parts about the studies (at least some of them), but if it'd be easier to just take that part out that's perfectly fine. my only intention behind having that part was because "there are no studies!" comes up a lot and it's incredibly false.
Then OK if I don't post any parts of that very long comment? You'll edit and resubmit a shorter version?
