Hey,
I' m feeling serious today so get ready for some deep thinking.
Occasionally, everyone hears a sexist, racist, or some-obscure-minority-ist comment.
What do you do? Silently bare it? Agree? Or speak out?
I chose the latter mostly which often results in a long argument about whether the comment was actually offensive, why it matters, who it's offending and why the hell I care.
After some discussion no-one really remembers the comment and no-one cares anymore so I either let it drop or the person mutters some form of apology.
But what is the difference between being offencive and stating an opinion?
For example someone may be sexist. And then someone else is anti-sexist.
Makes sense so far...
But what about the anti-anti-sexists? And the anti-anti-anti-sexists? How about the anti-anti-anti-anti-sexist groups?
When does it end?
And where is the line between stating an opinion and an offensive comment?
Let me know your thoughts below, I'd be interested to see who shares my views (and who thinks I'm an idiot for thinking such crap).

St. Valentine's Day
Hey,
So, it's that time of the year again... No, not christmas, Valentine's day!
If you are, like me, undoubtly about to recieve absolutely nothing tommorow then here's what to do instead of crying over your sad and pitiful existence and listening to sad music in your bedroom.
Eat chocolate-
Did you know that chocolate gives you a feeling similar to romance?
Eat as much chocolate as you can without throwing up, or even do throw up- it's your choice.
And don't you be worrying about getting fat- it's obvious no-one likes you anyway so you might as well eat what you want.
Compensate-
How much would you spend on your partner if you had one on valentine's day?
Well, I say go out and buy yourself a nice big present with the money and enjoy having a gift you actualy like and won't want to burn after the relationship goes downhill.
Enjoy the other kind of love-
Whether it's your family, friends or your cat that you love most, make sure you let them know just how much tommorrow.
But please, DO NOT put the pictures of you kissing the side of the fishtank on facebook. It's not a good image. Also, your goldfish loves you too, he just would prefer to keep things between you...
If you, unfortunately are cheapscate and wouldn't have bought your partner a gift, are clinically obese and need to lose wieght for health reasons so cannot eat anymore chocolate AND are so socially awkward your family has abandoned you and you have no friends, there's still hope that this Valentine's Day or the next will reveal a true love which will last forever.
Happy Valentine's Day,
Kylee L ♥

Just Dance
hey there, 18 people who have accidently stumbled upon my blog/just one stalker who is obsessed with everything I do,
Today I went to a friend's party and spent the entire first half arranging excuses to leave inside my head as I was extremely bored and embarressed. The reason?
My friend has the strange affliction of being obsessed with Just Dance. It's a game for the wii in which you are expected to dance to 'Big Girls' by Mika according to the misleading instructions on the screen showing you where to move the remote.
Sadly this pays no attention to style or even what the rest of the player besides thier right hand is doing which left me sweaty, tired, and a loser while others managed to win by standing motionless, looking like an impressively bored conductor of a low-standard children's orchestra.
What's worse is that dancing is one of the many things that I cannot do and someone managed to catch it on tape so if you by any chance find a video on youtube of someone going bright red and panting while flapping thier limbs about, it's probably me.
thanks again for reading,

Hey blogerinos
So I was thinking the other day when Hugh Grant appeared on BBC, WHAT HAPPENED?? He was talking about phone hacking or something but all I could think about was how different he looked from before.
See for yourselves...
From the Telegraph
I have devoted severel years to being completely besotted by his good looks and side-mouth talking in Love Actually and Bridget Jones but I'm afraid all strange fantacies must come to an end.
I'm sad that my vision of masculine beauty has been destroyed though somewhat glad that he stopped hogging all the hotness in the world. Who's my new fav guy? Well, taylor Launtner of course...

Why I started Kylee's Corner
Hey guys,
Now I've done all my setting up, I just want to say why I started a blog in the first place.
I don't keep a diary because I find it pointless as there is very little chance anyone will ever read it and they might judge me and act differently if they did. This blog, like a diary should be, is completely honest and the great thing is that if you hate what I say or who I am because of it, there's nothing you can do about it.
Post what you like/dislike about my blog as well as anything you'd like me to write about specifically.
thanks,
Kylee L
