The More You Know: Kids, don't be mean to your misfit peers. They will take your taunts (and spit) and roll them into a tight ball of resentment and resiliance. Years later, they will be making more money and having more interesting lives than you.

Mrs. Plainview--I think that's a corollary to the well-known theorem of "Don't pick on the nerds in school, because when you grow up, you'll be working for them".

FUCK, FUCK, FUCKING HELL, WOMAN! SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT ALREADY! FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS OF THIS DAMNED WHINING!!!!

I honestly didn't have a problem with her for a long time, but she's been telling the same 'pity me' story for over a decade, and it's just self-indulgent, now. How long are we supposed to feel bad for Olivia mourning her brother, or Orsino's unrequited love for Olivia? Oh, wait, you don't, because they're in a solipsistic and self-serving mania. Wah, Kate. Waaaa-aaa-aaah.

I cried less when I got hit by a car on my birthday. I cried less when I was chased by a knife-wielding skinhead. I cried less when I almost got raped. And I taken a punch? Oh, hell yeah. I'm not trying to set up a 'woe is me' session--that's her job--but it's like that Debbie Downer character, who goes back to the same well, apropos of nothing, until you kind of want to push her into it.

What woman hasn't had negative comments about her weight, whatever the size? I ran into my father a few months ago (who I haven't seen in ten years and disowned me when I was nineteen, just because). What did he say? 'What'd you gain all that weight for?' Well, I did it because I'm not fifteen anymore. Right? Female bodies change between the ages of fifteen and stone's throw from 25, right? Point is, that was recent, and way worse than some random kids from how many eons ago, whose names she probably doesn't even remember. I bring it up here to make a point, but after the actual incident, I put my big girl pants on and moved the fuck on. Lord love a duck, lady. Embrace amnesia.

Yeah, yeah, rag on me all you want. I'm cynical, or whatever, and for some reason she's become sacrosanct as of late. But, what? This? STILL? Shit, the first twenty-three years of my life were a scary, damaging horror show. It's NOT a competition, and I certainly don't win. Even my twisted pathology doesn't cotton to that mode of thinking. Maybe she should put some more food in her gob, stop her tongue from going on about this. Geez, worse than the 'Jewel lived in a car! She was HOME-LESS', story.

Then work on the American accent.

Do your worst, defenders. I can take a hit like the cat's ass.

Yours in Christ,

Jo has a point. Kate's "I'm every woman" story is getting really old.

You can 'emphasize'? even you're bullying the poor girl!

So embarrassed. How did it go a whole day without someone pointing that out?

I mean, I had a migraine and was in a foul mood last night. However, I still stand by the spirit of what I said.

i understand your point, and believe me i agree with you that she should get over it, but pointing out bad things that have happened to you is like playing the "my life sucks worse than yours" game, otherwise you wouldn't have written those things. i'm not presuming to know you or judge that you haven't "gotten over it" or whatever, but how is it relevant to your point?

Wow, Jo, you whinge and complain a lot in your comments, everywhere I look! Too much information!

jo first of all i really don't appreciate your foul language. Secound I kate winslet went through a painful exprience . Trust me being picked on for your weight scars you and its not something you can easily forget. I have been made fun of for being a size 6 to 8 in a family of size 2. Reading what kate winslet said helped me realize that curves are a good thing and that i should be proud of it. There are too much pressure out there that girls have to look a certain way , and she is reminding us that just because you might be a little chubby doesn't mean it will last forever. And she shows us that celebrities are real people like us they arn't always the most popular and prettiest people.bottom line i love kate winslet for her modesty, how amazingly down to earth she is , her talent and beauty. You rock kate ! So jo if you've got any problem with kate winslet you deal with me . I can't stand it when people use that type of foul language, and put their angry on someone they don't know. Unless of course you did know her for all we know you might have been one of those kids who teased and tormented her. That would make so much sense! Anyways if you don't like her than whatever but atleast show some respect!
