the chase .

i have come to realise that i have an alarming amount of disrespect for girls that chase after guys. it’s rather appauling; i’m practically borderline disgusted, and that really shouldn’t happen for anyone except for men who are already disgusting.

this realisation came to me as i was halfway through another taiwanese drama series in which the girl tries extremely hard to, and i quote/translate, “step into the guy’s heart.”

cue cringe from liz. sometimes i actually wince. maybe one day if it were bad enough i’d gag.

scandalous .

like most shallow people that will admit they love gossip girl, and the seemingly deeper ones that try to conceal it, i’m addicted. to think that one could be a part of the world such as the upper east side of manhattan is striking and absolutely drool-worthy, just like all the characters in the show.

they play with our emotions, causing us to love one character at a time before their innermost devil is exposed, moving the limelight onto another rich, spoilt and misunderstood bitch. they spill scandal after scandal until a bunch of crazy connections are intertwined in our heads about who’s sleeping with whom and whose parents have illegitimate children together. we love it.

conformity .

today i saw two men kissing on a  park bench. it wasn’t even just normal kissing: it was full frontal sit-on-lap, hands-up-shirt, tongue and hands everywhere pashing. they were both rather fat and very bald. now before you ask, i was not disgusted at the sight of them and i did not think privately in my head to tell them to get a room. i was just a little surprised.

originally i thought my brain had processed it wrong; maybe the bold one on top was actually a woman. but as i got closer it eventually became obvious that it was not. it was kind of awkward, even though they didn’t realise anyone was looking. it wasn’t that pleasant anyway, but i honestly didn’t shudder in horror.

aspirations .

today i saw the film he’s just not that into you. i must say, it’s probably one of those films that the whole female population adores while the male population confusedly ponders their reactions towards it. give or take a couple, of course; i can’t stereotype the whole world.

personally, as a cynic slash closet romantic (which means i love watching other people’s happily ever afters but don’t believe they will happen to me), i enjoyed the film very much. i didn’t love it, but i do believe that it exposes many of our flaws as women, as well as the true character of men. maybe if the film didn’t end so happily the message that “he’s just not that into you” would have gotten through better, but then it wouldn’t have been hollywood, and people wouldn’t have emerged from the film content and raving at how wonderful it was.

men are from mars .

soundtrack: beyonce; if i were a boy // thoughts: if…?

i heard this song on the radio on the way home in lucy’s car (because we listen to 2UE in my car). when i got home i was extremely upset that my limewire had stopped functioning, and i made garmon download it for me. he thought it was a horrible song, naturally, but i love it. i don’t really know why; i haven’t listened to mainstream music in so long, and it’s hard for me to get into this stuff, but i really like it. maybe it’s the lyrics…

cleverness .

soundtrack: some random new music // thoughts: of intellectuals

found an interesting quote. huxley said it; “an intellectual is someone who has discovered something more interesting than sex.”

i guess the male population isn’t going to become very intellectual any time soon. jokes (not really).

been going to the library a fair bit lately, getting in touch with the nerdy side that everyone around me has already discovered.

i’m working harder than before, but that doesn’t really say anything. wrote some “good” crime fic, but it’s too long to share here. haven’t read a book in ages because i’ve been denying myself extra methods of procrastination, and i’m craving the thrill. not really, just missing it i guess. among other things.
