I thought I’d keep up the writing
while I still feel like I have something to say and as you can see in this blog
that’s not too often. I got into the thought of how things doesn’t seem to have
changed much since high school in the last post of the blog. As I stated there
I don’t really care too much about it though, I find it entertaining for the
most part.
I'll start by saying that during that time I didn’t have a defined style when
it came to clothing. I really just dressed as I felt it when I got up in the
morning. I should probably add that I was no fan of bright colours back then
and that has changed a little bit over time. Still happy in black though.
My taste in music was also all over
the place. Of course I had some genres that appealed more to me, but mostly I figured
every situation had a suiting tune and I still find it that way today.
Even though I did have (still do) female friends I can say hands down they don’t make majority by far. The
few I do have are great though. I don’t
know why but guys appeal more to me socially and I guess it is because for the
most part they don’t overcomplicate things. I’m well aware that it’s not always
the case but I stand by the statistics in personal experience and it works for
me.
I normally don’t write (or talk for
that matter, unless I’m provoked) about sexism, chauvinism or similar subjects.
I tend to find it annoying and I guess that’s mostly because I’m always on the
wrong side of the argument. I guess a girl that went for technological studies,
enjoys gaming and doesn’t get offended too easily (just to pick some examples)
doesn’t qualify for the right audience when other girls try to defend their never
ending list of rights. I’m all for equality, but I don’t believe we were born
the same so an equal opportunity, which I’m all for, is not the same as a free
pass. This last sentence sums pretty much up my opinion about this and growing
up in a place where sexism is, even today in some degree, pretty normal that
wasn’t very popular. To either side of the argument that is.
I guess bottom line to this is that I wasn't the easiest person to put a label on and not everybody is fine with that. Still puzzles me why...

So… why do I say that things haven’t
changed? I would’ve thought these things stayed behind once I started working
(which I did in a construction company’s office), and it was all BUT better. As
of today the degree is notably lower, but it is still there. And again, mostly
very amusing.
To tell the truth I didn’t care much
for it when I was younger either and that wasn’t always a good (smart?) thing.
I guess I tended to rub people the wrong way just because I didn’t care. I used
to get the comment “you’re not normal” pretty often and, as I still do today, I
said I was proud. Normal sounds really boring to me. I’m no fan of the “go with
the flow” and “do as everybody else” attitude and yes, by all means, do as you
wish... but I consider “not normal” a compliment. :)
And there’s that! ^_^
