Lunch box wank.
[info]dracunculus directed my attention to this prime wank. This woman posts to her blog about the fun she has packing Japanese-style bento lunches for her kid. The first few comments are people saying, How cute, how fun.

Then at comment #6, some troll named Sarah makes a nasty remark about how cutting your kid's sandwiches into animal shapes will make him a laughingstock and stunt his imagination. Other people tell her to shut up and let them enjoy themselves. She continues to cuss them out, meanwhile suggesting that they try Xanax to get rid of their rage.

Someone named Victoria made the most patient responses to Sarah's spleen, inspiring someone else to announce, "Victoria, I always thought that Lesbians were mean, vindictive bitches, and you proved that for me. Is it because about 95% of the country thinks your life style is sick and that is why you all are so defensive on other issues too." I wondered if maybe Victoria's website, linked on her comment, identified her as a Lesbian, so I followed the link and found no mention of homosexuality, but at least two mentions of her husband.

Sarah has informed the blogger that she ought to erase her blog and devote her time in future to pursuits meeting with Sarah's approval. After a bit more of other people telling her where she could go, she declared this evening:

"While I stand by my original statement that this is over the top, I think it is hilarious that other people cannot allow someone else to have a differing opinion. It has been highly amusing to watch some people freak out in several places; nobody started a petition to ban food cut-outs. An opinion differing from yours was expressed and some people can’t handle it. Public blogs are going to get some different points of view, but this blog owner allowed them to be expressed and debated, which is highly commendable. You handled this in a way that most people wouldn’t, and I am very impressed. It’s refreshing that the blog owner has enough self esteem not to be upset or hurt by a differing opinion. Wendy, go on with your bad self and those cut-outs. You rock."

She's standing up for her non-sandwich-cutting principles!

Yeah. Throwing one-year-olds parties that are literal circuses, mostly to impress other parents with how much you love your kid (while the kid gets overstimulated and throws a screaming fit before falling asleep), is unfortunately becoming all too common.

And if you keep doing it until they expect every birthday to be bigger and more fabulous than the last, you get the meltdowns that My Super-Sweet 16 is so fond of. If there was one good thing about moving out from my last roomies, it was never having to hear the screaming from the TV in the next room ever again.

And then you get to see those stupid brats exiled to another location without the wonders of text messaging while driving your brand new Beemer and rappers singing at their birthday parties for a whole week. O.M.F.G. Can you imagine such torture?

I had a moderate Sweet 16. Five of my friends and I went to the Abbey for dinner in a limo and had a sleepover. That's it. No Beemer or anything. Which is good. I didn't really need someone to sing to me. The radio works well enough, thanks.

I was totally ready to settle for a white dress, my first heels and dinner at Olive Garden. Honest. I have simple tastes. But, well, I'm a September baby and I would have been turning 15 in 2001.

Oh, god. Bad luck there, huh? I'm a 9/12 baby, and the one year anniversary was at my 21st. I just decided not to do anything big that year. It didn't seem right. The Abbey and stuff was my godmom's idea, not really mine. I would have preferred going to a concert or something with a friend.

I felt really bad for my waiter that year. His birthday was 9/11. I felt like buying him a drink, but you know, he was working.

I know, right? Thankfully we're down south so there was a little separation.

Whereas, I lived in a DC bedroom community and had friends with parents working at the Pentagon.

Well, at least, it's over now, right? *goes to see if crunchy PB will affect ease of cookie cutter use on a sandwich*

Well, to be fair, for a minute I heard that downtown Atlanta was a target since they apparently tried out in the suburbs and my godmom lived right the midtown/downtown border. I was scared, partially cause why the hell would someone decide on Atlanta...which contributes very little to the world.

I don't know if it will. I had Zaxby's buffaloed blue zalad for dinner since I had to go price my textbooks.

I attended a wedding the weekend after 9/11. The bride's family was from New York, and she had a cousin in the second tower.

...Yeah, it was a very small, subdued affair, for the most part.

Oh, ouch. That had to be hard. I can't imagine celebrating during that time. Put a damper on the starting of a new life.

A friend of mine from New York also has her birthday on 9/11. She came up to Canada for the week around her birthday for a few years.

Yeah, I can imagine going away would mentally be better.
