sexuality and women.

why is it that as an american society, we think that all couples should look like they came straight off the coast of california or that they should look similar and carry themselves the same way? What is to say that you cannot love someone despite their looks or size? Whos to say that a woman should look like Katy Perry or Megan Fox? Why to we expect all men to look like Shaq or Brad Pitt? I would much rather have someone in my life who isn't all about their looks, and cares more about me than they do how they look in the morning. I don't want some scary buff man. I'd rather go get matching tattoos with someone than to go to the gym every morning.
I'm sorry, but lately everyone I know has been pushing me and telling me that they are convinced I like women or nothing at all because there is nothing i want around where I live. Everyone says that I will never be in love because my standards are too high, I'm too manly, I'm too big, I'm too into my head, I'm too this, too that. I know what I want from my life, and although having a love life would be an awesome thing to have, getting where I need to be is more important to me. I will find my way on my own and though it would be great to have someone to share it with, that isn't my key priority.
One day I want a family. A little girl or a little boy with a husband or just a fiancee that loves me, my love for vices, and my love for ink and art. I will always love my stereo more than I love anything else in this world, and nothing else will ever change that. I will never be some woman who is obsessed with her looks or what people think about her. I know it seems like I am obsessed with the things my friends think of me lately, but this is my place to vent and be a 'hypocrite' if that is how we want to look at it.

I am allowed to be fat. I'm allowed to listen to Kanye West, Kid Cudi, My Chemical Romance, The Used, Carter Hulsey, and Never Shout Never in the same day if i damn well please.
I'm allowed to love that carbonated shit mixed with cranberry juice.
I am allowed to want to have fancy italian dinner one night and eat at a sports bar the night after.
I am allowed to build my own culture, and my culture consists of artists and individuality.
