I've discovered that I am an intimidating person. There are a number of reasons this could be possible, and I've decided to list some of the ones that were mentioned to me.
- I'm a single white male, age 26, and I don't sleep with a different woman every night. I actually WON'T. *blink*
- I'm an established computer whiz. Yeah, I know what a computer is. Horrifying, eh?
- I read. For fun. *gasp*
- I play a game that requires me to IMAGINE the scenery, instead of relying on the graphics engine to make it for me.
- I listen to Billy Joel, Rob Zombie, Josh Groban, Def Leppard, Frank Sinatra, Christina Aguilera, Celia Cruz, Mase, and the Cranberries. There are a lot more, but that pretty well covers the genres.
- I live on Long Island and I don't have a car. "How do you get around?" I take public transportation. *gasp*
- I live near the city, but I don't GO there all the time.
- I actually understand the difference between war and genocide.
- I didn't vote for Bush or Kerry.
Somehow I doubt this affects anyone. I've also got a penchant for computer games. Some. Halo 2 on X-Box is out now - yay! About bleeping time. They've delayed release since Spring 2004. Half-Life 2 followed quickly on its heels, released a week later. Ridiculous!
I'm still single (duh). I haven't met the right woman with the right qualities to attract my attention. Yes, I'm male; I'm going to look at all kinds of attractive women because...well, they're attractive. This doesn't necessarily mean that I want the most attractive girl out there. Most of the time, the really attractive ones are vapid, vacuous, and completely useless beyond being eye candy. I want someone with a personality not given to them. I want someone who knows the value of friendship. I want someone who knows that I can accept most people for exactly who and what they are. I want someone who accepts me for who and what I am, instead of trying to change who I am within seconds of meeting me. Yes, it's happened. "Oh, I don't like guys who look at me sexually." Um, hi, I'm a guy. You're an attractive woman, DUH, I'm gonna look. Would you rather I ignored you completely? If every guy did that, you'd develop a complex, thinking you're ugly, and then you really WOULD be ugly, because you'd get depressed, and guys don't want that crap. Men are weak; they think they need an attractive woman to justify being themselves, to show off to their friends. I don't use a woman as a status symbol. I have her there because I value her company, her intellect, and her presence. I value her. *mutter*
This is irritating beyond belief. SorryEverybody.com and ApologyAccepted.com are both gaining popularity, one to the point of really slow site because so many people want to see it. I like both sites, they're a really cool premise. I just can't stand the fact that all of the people on them are apologizing for something they clearly had no control over. The Electoral College is an archaic system devised to rectify the communication problems of the past. Abolish that, and abolish the election of presidents nobody likes. When the people actually control who gets into office, they can't complain anymore. The government needs to change; the people have that power, they just don't realize it yet. Someone has to get the word out. Now. The year 2006 marks our next opportunity to change the way our country is run. Let's get on that.
