Gym, Quiz, Work
Life/Thoughts
This week has mainly been very dull. Sitting in front of the computer all day applying for jobs isn’t a healthy lifestyle. Have been trying to make up for this by going down the gym, but it’s not something I enjoy.
At the gym there’s always guys, and girls, who watch you out of the corner of their eyes. You can tell the ones. They wear fashionable gym clothes, cut to show off their muscles/breasts/tight stomachs. They mark you. Mark the clothes you wear, the weights you lift, how much you sweat, what you drink.
For these people the gym isn’t about keeping fit, it’s a huge exercise in vanity. They’re the worst kind of physical image Nazi, judging others by their own warped morals. They pour scorn on the overweight people who are genuinely trying to get fit on the treadmills and hang out in their own toned, fashionable, tanned, bunches by the free weights.
Judging people by their looks is a bit of a personal bugbear of mine. I’ve known gorgeous people who were intelligent and interesting, and an equal amount who were vacant and dull. Same goes for those thought of as not traditionally gorgeous. One of the most annoying things I can remember was when an article of mine on this topic was sold. A few days later I checked up on it, and the guy who had bought it hacked it to pieces, keeping almost only the words such as ’sexy’, ‘gorgeous’, ‘attractive’, ‘beauty’ etc. He then used it as the front page for a porn website. Pleased, I was not.
Quiz
Went to a huge charity quiz tonight. Was entertaining. Only two things of note to report.
1: The year’s supply of beer to be won would have lasted me two weeks at most. Either this makes me a drunkard loser, or the organisers very stingy.
2. Out of the 500 people there, I was, literally, the only one to be able to recognise a picture of the current Poet Laurette, Carol Ann Duffy. I’m not sure if this makes me a freak, or everyone else uncultured.
Work
Got to work tomorrow. This isn’t a bad thing as I need something to entertain me, and working weddings can sometimes be entertaining, although I have a feeling this one will not be. Terrible dresses, worse dancing, lots of free wine, and a total lack of inhibitions do often add up to much comedy viewing for the bloke who has to stand there and watch the guests while occasionally serving a few drinks.
