You're welcome to call me any of the above. Or Lydia; that works too.
I love school, to the point of addiction. Though probably the most important things I've been learning recently are about myself. I'm not perfect, but I'm growing; that's all I can really promise.
This is ultimately an extension of myself, as I post things I find interesting or applicable to my life. If nothing else, you may be able to learn a little about me by looking around.
Welcome!

"…But I think the first real change in women’s body image came when JLo turned in butt-style. That was the first time that having a large-scale situation in the back was part of mainstream American beauty. Girls wanted butts now. Men were free to admit that they had always enjoyed them. And then, what felt like moments later, boom - Beyonce brought the leg meat. A back porch and thick muscular legs were now widely admired. And from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha ha. No. I’m totally messing with you. All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes."
