Warp drive, wormhole refractors and a hand to hold

• You see this excited entry here that I made about getting my laptop fixed? Well two days after I wrote that, my internet failed. AGAIN. I actually had to do homework! Computers hate me :( Fixed now though, obvously.

• That was my first ever reaction post up there you know ^ All I've done before is make a noise like HHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!ONE!!111!!

I’m not one for following celebrities in the magazines and the news; I’m more of a scientific magazine sort of girl, but I’ve been noticing one thing come a lot recently. Whenever you see a celebrity that is more skinny than usual, they are automatically assumed to be anorexic. They are ill! Quick! Get them help before they pollute the minds of our daughters! Take Keira Knightly for example.

People see that she is skinny and immediately try to shove some food into her. But look at her! She doesn’t look ill at all. Doing a quick Google search has taught me that anorexia results in “Dry Skin and Hair, Brittle Hair and Nails, Hair Loss”, and I don’t see any reason for thinking she has any of these symptoms. Now, my medical experience may end with watching too much House and E.R., but nevertheless I see no reason to say that she has an eating disorder other than the fact that she is thin.

Why can’t people just accept that some people are naturally skinny? It’s perfectly okay to say that some people are naturally bigger than others but as soon as you go the other way it becomes a medical condition that must be cured, or otherwise mocked. Everyone’s different, and it’s unfair to drop an eating condition on someone who happens to have a skinny body type.

The reason I bring this up is because I’m one of those naturally skinny people, and trust me, this is not a good thing. It feels horrible to read that if you have sticky out collar bones and skinny arms, you look disgusting and no one will find you attractive, EVER. Because that is how I look. Naturally, god forbid. And it’s not because I don’t eat enough, because I do. I eat loads. But my body shape is naturally skinnier than average. It’s incredibly unfair how people assume that you are unhealthy. And what’s more, some seem to think that it’s okay to outright insult you by saying your body type is freaky. I know that in a lot of cases people are just trying to encourage other people not to develop an eating condition by saying skinny doesn’t equate to attractive, but this approach is downright insulting to those who are a bit bony.

I know that body image isn’t everything, but hearing that you look terrible because you are skinny doesn’t do much for your confidence.

I just heard the part of Doomsday where the Doctor whispers 'Rose' over and over. I forgot this happened. It was so sad hearing it again :(
