I believe in gravity... and it sucks. =/

[little_ribbon]

WARNING: This is going to be a pretty boring post! ^^;

I've been trying to think of a good way to post this one picture since Wednesday. I just can't seem to find a post it would belong in, so like Jimmy's new outfit it's getting its own seperate entry. *laughs!*



... okay, so I'm obviously not flying. Nor will I be flying any time soon. BUT STILL. xD

Ruggeveld is finally open! I have been waiting for this all summer! ^^; Ruggeveld is the perfect place for me to go skating: IT IS IN ANTWERP! It is also very familiar... I used to go ice skating at this place when I was still young and hadn't learned about gravity yet. *g*

Yeeeeeet. I disliked the place when I was a kid and I still do now. >.> Maybe we shouldn't have gone on a Wednesday afternoon. =/ Err. The reason I'm being so bitchy about Ruggeveld is a little embarrassing, but.... I tripped - toepicks got stuck in a dent in the ice! - and fell pretty hard. I sort of landed flat on my belly (I think I might have a bruise on my chin? O.o) and get this: THEY LAUGHED AT ME. There was a group of teenagers standing near me and LAUGHING at me. WTF.

It's been four days and it still pisses me off every time I think about it. T.T

I kind of hurt myself pretty badly, too. It took me a few seconds to process what happened and I somehow managed to stand back up before I even realised I had fallen down in the first place. O.o I was so shocked I just went into Automatic Pilot (I couldn't stop myself from making an incredibly bitchy comment - something among the lines of: AND YOU'RE SO FAT I CAN HEAR THE ICE CRACKING UNDER YOUR FEET! xD) and continued to skate like nothing was wrong or I hadn't just completely embarrassed myself. *relief!* It wasn't until after I got off the ice that I realised my knees were a little shakey and that one of them was throbbing. Whoops.

I really need to learn how to trust my blades. ^^; I'm not sure how to achieve that yet, though... Right now I have an ugly bruise on my knee and I really am not looking forward to lacing up again. *sulks!*

Edit: O.o I look so fat. Jeez.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOOK FAT
I'D SHOW YOU A PICTURE FROM DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY IN WHICH I REALLY DO LOOK FAT but lol i'm not posting that here.

i'd like to go ice skating again.
but last time i tried that i fell on my butt many many times. ):

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

xD I do! LOOK AT MY HIPS! I remind myself of ancient fertility statues... O.o

THIS IS WHY I DON'T WEAR PANTS! THEY CAN'T HIDE MY FAT THIGHS! GAARGH! xDDDD

... I want to go ice skating with you! <3

[orphen.livejournal.com]

People laugh at things like that because it makes them feel good about themselves...and because they are very bored. >.>
Losers.

At least you had a bit of fun. :D
And, no, you do not look fat at all. o.O Not in the least. :O

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

^^;; I really don't understand why certain people feel the need to make fun of others to feel better about themselves. Seriously, it's just pathetic.

The cruel side of little_ribbon thinks they were simply jealous. You know, unlike them, I actually have a fashion sense. *smirk!*

< / bitch >

... the other side of me thinks it's exactly because my fashion sense is so different from theirs that they were laughing. I mean, I was the only one with non-hockey skates. Pink one, too. *sigh!*

Pfft. I bet they don't wear Swarovski.

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Whoops, typo: ones*! xD

HEY AT LEAST I WASN'T WEARING THESE!



xDD Mwuahaha~! Since when did it become a crime to be girly, anyway?

[aefallen.livejournal.com]

MY ICON SAYS IT ALL.

("do"? where did that come from?)

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

SO DOES MINE! xD

I really liked this comment for some reason. I didn't want to leave it up with such an idiotic typo, so...

[sockkiah.livejournal.com]

They probably laughed at you because in general, teenagers are awful people. I hope your bruises feel better soon! And you don't look fat even a little bit, dear. :D Your mittens do look cozy though. I want some; my room is freezing.

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

xD I love those mittens! They're a bit too warm for ice skating though - and they're getting a bit worn (pearls coming off! =/) after living through two winters. *sigh!*

Teenagers really are awful people. O.o I was never really bulllied at school so I'm really not used to that kind of behaviour. ^^;

*hands you a pair of soft wooly mittens!* xD

[starbucks5721.livejournal.com]

YOU LOOK SO CUTE! I love you to death.

I can't skate to save my life. Fortunately for me, its too hot here for ice anyways, and the nearest rink is an hour away. But I am seriously one of those people that either clings to friends or the wall for dear life. I'm not scared of it, I just fail at it XD

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

xDD Awww! Thank you! I want to smuggle my Jimmy bear inside next time and take pictures with him on the ice... *laughs!* I'm still relatively sane and know that will certainly make people laugh at me, though. Part of me just doesn't care very much.

Ieeh! I think once you get over the clinging-to-the-edges-of-the-rink phase, you'll actually enjoy it though! :)

[starbucks5721.livejournal.com]

You should! That would be so cute! LOL and of course people would laugh, that's half the fun! I'd be laughing right along with them, if it was me XD

Oh man, its like I lose ALL sense of balance. And once I get going, IF I get going, I can't stop. Its hilarious to watch, I'm sure.

[iyo-chan.livejournal.com]

I <3 bitchy!Lin, tho. <333 And good come-back! :D

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

WAHAHAA! xD After I said it I was like "... what?!" but I'm pretty proud of myself right now. :')

I'm such a girl. >.> If we had been anime characters there would have been SPARKS FLYING BETWEEN OUR EYES. *headdesk!*

[mangy-mongrel.livejournal.com]

Darling, YOU. DO NOT. LOOK FAT. Trust me on this one.

I need to learn how to trust my blades too XD I have to stop worrying about falling and just GO. Bruises will fade with time, but skating is forever.

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

xD I think it's the way I'm holding my pants. I'm really not used to wearing pants or seeing myslef in them, either. *blink!*

I wish skating was forever! aefallen told me it's like riding a bicycle but I'm not too sure about that anymore. O.o

[aefallen.livejournal.com]

think it's the way I'm holding my pants
Get tighter ones. You know the stretch-fabric that skater outfits are made of? Use those. Your pants from the picture are a little too baggy for skating, but the biggest problem is they're too long. Honey, folding them up is not going to be enough. Get pants that are the right length: they should stop before your skates being, not fall past them. Or stitch up a fold of the pants legs so they're the right height.

You should not have to hold your pants when skating or staying still. The worry is that you'll trip over your pants if they're too long. And if you're not comfortable in your outfit, it spills over to your skating. If part of your mind is worrying about what you're wearing or not used to your outfit, that much attention is diverted away from skating.

Wear a skirt! I know you're comfortable in those! Then you can wear leggings under.

... I am speechless. O.o (or not?)

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Uhm.

Hi. xD

I think you misunderstood! Apologies! ^^;; I was actually just holding them in that picture - I don't have to hold them up to skate or anything! xD I agree that they're rather long, though...

It isn't like me to worry about what I'm wearing. I usually don't care what other people think about the way I dress: just let me wear what I want to wear and I won't judge you either? Ever since I went ice skating in Ruggeveld I've been annoyingly insecure, though. =/

I don't like it. >.> I wish I could stop wondering if they would have still laughed at me if I was wearing jeans. Or you know, white figure skates. *headdesk!*

I HATE FEELING LIKE THAT. I don't know how to deal with it - I want to continue being myself, but then again I also want to fit in and urgh... ^^;;

APOLOGIES FOR RAMBLING LIKE THAT! T.T I think it was the suggestion to wear a skirt that set me off: I started thinking I would love to do that; but that people would probably laugh even harder. SIGH.

Not like I'm going to let that stop me. JUST WATCH ME. >.> Next time I go skating it will be in a skirt... and the first person to laugh at me for it is going to regret it. xD

SNARL.

[aefallen.livejournal.com]

Heh. The very fact that you have to hold them up for the picture indicates to me that they're already too long. It's not like your pants magically get shorter when you're skating.

Ever since I went ice skating in Ruggeveld I've been annoyingly insecure, though. =/
*snug!* Well, I can see why, though. It probably would have been a bad-enough experience on its own. Let alone with the teenagers around.

I wish I could stop wondering if they would have still laughed at me if I was wearing jeans. Or you know, white figure skates. *headdesk!*
... I can't believe you even let things like that bother you. LET IT GO, OMG. And if those kids were the jerks that they seem to be: they'd probably have laughed whatever you were wearing. Unless you looked like Keira Knightley and were wearing a million-dollar dress, in which case they probably would have rushed for their camera phones to capture the moment and send it off to a newspaper.

I want to continue being myself, but then again I also want to fit in and urgh... ^^;;
I can relate to what you're saying. But at the same time, you have to realise that you can't have both things. Also, it's all dependent on the group you want to fit in with. You can choose the group of people you're with, or the people you're around, and then you'll fit in with them because they're like you. But if the people you want to fit in with aren't like you, then either you have to change to be like them, or you have to get them to accept you the way you are. And before you do that, you'd have to ask yourself: Are these people really people I want to bother about? And if so, good for you! At least you know what you want. But once you decide what you want, whether it's to fit in or not to fit in, don't complain about what it takes to fit in, or what it takes to be different. Neither way is easier than the other.

I started thinking I would love to do that; but that people would probably laugh even harder.
Well, then, you'll just have to decide what's more important to you, wearing clothes you love, or having people not laugh at you. It's not like you don't know it already, but ice rinks are full of jerks. And if you let them get in your way, you're gonna be holding yourself back for no reason! So just DO YOUR THING. Bring an iPod and skate to your own program. You may need to share the ice with them, but you sure don't need to listen to them if you don't want to.

I'm just saying this because I am terribly old and when you're old enough, you stop caring much about what other people think. I used to, when I was younger, and then I realised, life is short, I'm not going to spend so much time living it the way other people expect it to be lived. And besides, other people probably don't care much, anyway: they're too busy worrying about what other people think about them.

Do what you wanna do. Or regret not doing it. Go watch Hairspray! Maybe you'll learn better there.

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

xDD Thanks! I think it's just the pants. *hides!* I always get insecure when I have a cold sore, too... =/

LOL! The thing is, and I rarely say anything like this, but I WAS BETTER THAN THEM! >.> They had no right to laugh at me, grrrr!

I'm not that upset about what happened, really... I'm just disappointed that the perfect rink (location-wise, anyway!) to go ice skating at didn't turn out to be as good as I had hoped. I don't really want to go ice skating between a bunch of idiotic teenagers every week. *sigh!*

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

I'll have to figure that out soon! xD I'm not really looking forward to returning to that place, though...

[aefallen.livejournal.com]

O.o I look so fat. Jeez.
WHAT RUBBISH.

[aefallen.livejournal.com]

There was a group of teenagers standing near me and LAUGHING at me. WTF.
*POINTS AT ICON*

THEY ARE, REALLY, BABE, SO PLEASE IGNORE THEM AND DO YOUR THING, HONEY!

Wolfram will KILL THEM WITH FIRE, and all that good stuff.

[aefallen.livejournal.com]

it still pisses me off every time
D8 AT THEM, think of my icon whenever you think about them! *SNUGS TIGHT* I hope you feel better soon, sweetheart!

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Awww! xD Don't worry! I don't really think about it that much... but just enough to annoy me. *g*

I'm doing okay! I hope you are, too! ♥

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie! :')

*huggles!* I feel kind of stupid for letting it get to me at all, heh. I have to learn to be less insecure and just shrug it off. *hides!*

you are so showing off your icons again. hi icons.

[little-ribbon.livejournal.com]

I never said I am fat - I just said I look fat. *smirk!*

... honestly, though. You should know I'm not skinny. You saw me in a bikini. >.>

[aefallen.livejournal.com]

*rolls eyes* Whether you say you are fat, or whether you THINK you look fat, it is ALL THE SAME TO ME. It doesn't matter to me whether you're fat or not, slim or not. It is a person's personality that matters, not the body it's in.

Oh, that. I forgot that I'd seen you in a bikini, and had to think hard to remember where.

[slytherat.livejournal.com]

De beste tijd om naar Ruggeveld te gaan is op zondag-avond, dan is er altijd heel weinig volk.
Just a hint ^_^
