Okay. If you know me well, you'd know that I'm one of the most apathetic people around to many issues, and of course I would mean that in a good way you ass. I don't really have an opinion on many things that people like to argue about. I don't care about the environment. I don't care about Singapore politics (what's there to argue about? there won't be any change no matter how much noise you make, so why not just shut up and sit down and just accept it). I don't have a stand on our education system/teenagers having premartial sex/WHATEVER. In fact, sometimes I'm apathetic even to people who like to ask inappropriate questions/ask for advice and then proceed to ignore it. Look, if you asked for my advice, the least I'd expect from you is to NOT turn around and proceed to do the exact opposite. If you do that, well, then expect me to be completely indifferent to whatever you have to say/ask in the future. As for people who like to ask inappropriate questions: wait for me to bitch about you. (yes I'm noting the irony here)
In short, you can say that this trait makes me a fairly easy-going person, because I don't get into arguments with people much, since well, I basically don't care about anything unless it interests me directly. (You can also call me a selfish bitch, whatever. I choose to focus on the good) So when I actually get riled up about something/have a strong opinion, you know it's time to shut your mouth before I bitchslap your ass.
First things first. (heh dee, you started this with our conversation yesterday :P) I've had it UP TO THERE with people who like to ask me, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME we meet, whether I'm attached or not. If you're sincerely concerned, cool, I'm not, so why don't you introduce some cute guys to me. But if you're just doing so to annoy me, then really, NOT COOL. And what I can't stand more than that? It's the way these people go all, "huh! why not? you're getting old you know! It's even harder for girls to get attached when they start working! Aiyo how?", because, maybe I'm over-analyzing this, it reeks of smugness and fake concern. And most of all, IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.
Let me give you an opinion I actually have on this issue: I do not care whether I'm attached or not. In fact, I LOVE how drama-free my life has been the past couple of years. I do not need all those rubbish in my life again. Am I nobody unless I'm with somebody? Why do I need to be defined that way? Nobody can hold my interest long enough (haha. apathy in action) and I don't care if this is a low blow to that person who said this, but at least I've got attention. Really, you are the last person to be allowed to give snide comments of that sort to me. I'm sorry for your life if you feel the desperate need to get attached, but please don't impose that kind of whacked ideology on me, thank you very much.
And the next issue. This is actually something that's not directly related to me, yet I'm incredibly passionate about. Like I said, I'm very tolerant about many things, but if you're homophobic, you're definitely in my bad books. (that means I curse your ass silently every time I see you. Haha. only half joking) If you are homophobic, so be it, that's your sad life, don't let me hear any homophobic remarks and we're cool. BUT if you do, I will not hesitate to call you out on it. I know I've made my stand on this issue pretty clear, but recently a couple of remarks made by certain people have irked me so much I feel very obliged to bitch about this again.
For crying out loud, the next time I hear some guy complimenting another guy on his looks, and then proceed to give himself a disclaimer by saying, "oh by the way I'm not gay", I swear I will bitchslap that person so hard he won't have anything to disclaim in the future. Do I sound like I'm overreacting? Probably. But I will have you know that said person has made many more homophobic remarks in the past, and I just never mentioned it. Are we still so regressed that paying a simple compliment to a person of the same sex = having interest in that person? Okay, I get that you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but do you HONESTLY believe that the other guy would think "oh ew, he probably likes me"? Sorry, but not everyone's stupid like you. And I feel the need to bring this up again: "NO NEED FOR A DISCLAIMER. NOBODY THINKS YOU'RE GAY. AND ANYWAY, NO GAY GUY WOULD LIKE YOU. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE STANDARDS YOU KNOW?
Gah. I could go on on this issue forever. But let's leave the serious analysis for some other PMS-y day and just have some bitchiness for now.
