it aint all its cracked up to be

there are days when i hate how my life is going and i just wish that i could be Barbie. She's so perfect and her life is just ... perfect. But then i realize, Barbie's life isnt all its cracked up to be.

Let's face it-- there are days where i hate my job and i just want to quit (you know you do too) and i feel like im overworked and underpaid. Well, look at Barbie, she holds like a billion different jobs and i've never seen a Barbie bank where she can go to get her paycheck! She's a doctor, a firefighter, a vet, a police officer, a ballerina, a gymnist, a nurse, a princess, a cashier, you name it. The sad part is she needs all these jobs. Think of all the bills she has to pay. The taxes on that dreamhouse must be a bitch. And she's got like seven cars. How else is she going to afford all that? and its not like Ken is helping. I don' t think Ken even has a job. He just mooches off of barbie's hard earned money.

Speaking of Ken, he's pretty much an all around jerk. He and barbie had a child together and he didn't even propose. He impregnates her and then refuses to marry her. He doesnt even babysit when barbie is at work. The least he could do would be to take care of the baby and little sister kelly, but nooooo, Skipper has to do that.

And she may have a perfect body and a beautiful face, but think of all the harrassment she must go through. Especially at the workplace. She can never go out to a bar, she'd be getting drunk guys falling all over her. Then maybe Ken would care...

And she does it all with a smile on her face... which is more than i can say.

plus, of course, Barbie isn't a HUMAN!! she can't think a bout herself, she can't analyze her life, she can't CHANGE squat. You're certai9nly much better off than she is. and, you write beter than Barbie does.
keep writing about what it's like being a human, about what it's like being you.
