There's one thing that is continually thrust in my face. And I hate it. Originally I thought it was just a matter of other people being genuinely unable to succeed in complexity. I'm very good at a number of things. This is weird. Most people are not like that. I accept that in that regard I am exceptional and that it might inspire jealousy. Cool. ( Read more... )

I danced with this moderately attractive guy today that ... I'm not sure if he was trying to be dark and seductive or if he just can't speak English that well. Could be either one. Dunno. But he introduced a whole new category of creepy to the equation. I'm used to being stared at. I'm used to cat calls. I'm used to random guys walking after me on ( Read more... )

Given that I am actually turned on by respect and intellectualism I understand that my perception of romance is ... unconventional. But again, this whole royal wedding thing does not strike me as romantic. Why should I be so impressed that a couple who went to the same college and has parents that are super rich are getting married? People are ( Read more... )

Let it be known I am awesome. This is a verifiable fact. However, I am also young. And this means that hitching your wagon to my star is only going to piss me off. If I was a pop star or a famous millionaire right now I'd say "sure, as long as you work hard I'll help promote you." But at this point, I'm still clawing my way to the top. I get that ( Read more... )

I've been having these ... weird conversations with Europeans lately. Remember back when I said I am no longer even going to put any effort into so much as dating an American man? I was serious. Most of my male friends were not even born on the same landmass. I imagine one or two was born at sea and I suspect that at least one was either actually ( Read more... )

Don't think I mentioned this before but there's this guy that I had a serious crush on for some time. Because ... he's super hot. Black hair, tan, awesome arms, fluent in both English and Japanese and a graduate student. Hooooottttt. So ... Mr. SuperHot's mom recently freinded me on facebook. I have no idea why. I accepted because ... I haven't ( Read more... )

It's recently come to light that a number of Egyptian protesters who were arrested were stripped and then photographed naked by guards of the opposite sex and then submitted to "virginity tests." Now ... I am a bit confused as to what an intact hymen does for the government, but ... isn't pretty much the moment you start forcibly prying into the ( Read more... )

I was initially annoyed with people freaking out about the Fukushima not quite meltdown. Then I was annoyed with Californian's (mostly SoCalers by the look of the shelves in NorCal) for freaking out and buying potassium iodide up the wazoo. Now ... while maintaining annoyance at the aforementioned parties for the aforementioned reasons, I have ( Read more... )

I have - as previously noted - many friends who are openly gay. This includes gay men, lesbians, a few people who are bi, and although I don't know any transexuals I do have a number of friends who are epic drag performers. So every time some asshole goes on about gay people going to hell or being curable or being immoral or whatever it is, I take ( Read more... )

Two things: effectiveness determines not craziness of your method and ... I have to figure out underwear.

The first comes because a while back I was talking to some person who considers himself a holistic healer. He had the audacity to tell me he could cure MS. Now ... this pisses me off because I've seen the stats and in fact brain scans of MS ( Read more... )
