Looks Like You Gained Some Weight

It must be a miracle that I’m not anorexic or something. I already know that I’m not the strongest person inside, but could you imagine if I was that weak, if I had tremendously low self-esteem and self-confidence. That would just be..a disaster?

I blame it on culture because I don’t know, don’t want to, accept the fact that people are oblivious to the fact of what is appropriate and what is not. I blame it on myself because I don’t have the ability to express myself on the outside. I can get all fumed up inside, but I can’t do it on the outside. I am unable to show people how I really feel. I know that’s not good, for me, or for others. But that’s the way it is. So perhaps, I’m causing my own problem or rather, not helping it.

Even so, does that give people the right to blatantly make negative comments about how you look or what you need to change about your body?

Consider it luck or whatever you want to call it that I’m not..ill. That I’m not jumping to solutions of starving myself or puking my brains out or exercising until I pass out.

Or maybe..I should.

Hallways

My work station used to be in a large area where cubicles covered half the floor. Now that we’ve moved, we are located in more of a suite-type office. It’s the kind similar to doctors offices, where you go into a building and there is a long hallway with large doors on both sides running from end to end.

I wonder if there’s some type of hallway behavior or hallway etiquette that people tend to follow. I’m not talking about walking on the right or left side. I mean, when you are walking down the long hallway in one direction and another person is walking towards you. Do you stare at the other person while they are walking towards you? Do you mind your own business? Do you start a conversation? Do your eyes meet when you cross? Do you say hello? Do you plain out ignore them all the way? I think the common thing I’ve noticed is that people see you on the other end and then look away. Mind your own business and when you cross, look up and smile or say hello. At least that’s what I’ve been doing. Although if I’m minding my own business the second after I spot them, I can’t tell if they were looking at me the whole time. I have a feeling not. I also think that since it is an office building, you tend to see some of the same people, so everyone is a little friendlier. Whereas, if this was a public place, the situation might be different.

What what you do if you were walking down the hall and someone was walking towards you?

Welcome to The Yellow Forest

This is the beginning of something..great. Just kidding. So after all this time, I bought myself a couple domains to play around with. I’m thinking one should be a professional site and the other for fun, for my friends. Due to simple newbiness, I purchased hosting plans for my site that didn’t include php, or some kind of database. So I’m stuck with using blogger, if I want to post this directly to my site. But for now, we will just redirect you here until I have more time to play around with other things.

The Yellow Forest is the site for whatever, pictures, blogging, etc. What does it mean? Well, you’ll have to figure it out on your own. Even though I’m a little embarrassed to say I needed to ask what one part meant. But I probably would have figured it out if I had thought about it for more than a few seconds. :)

Hopefully, while the blog is up, you’ll get a glimpse of my thoughts, my stories, and ramblings. And I hope it will provoke thoughts and be interesting.

Please comment if you take the time to read (and no, you don’t have to register!). At least say hi so I know who’s reading.

With that all said, I welcome you to The Yellow Forest.
