- Nyaaaaaah. Had a strange day today. Left my friend's house. Listened to music while I waited for classes to start. Went to class - which was really awkward because of the lack of people ... My poor Phil TA. He has to get us to talk, and today none of the ones who showed up were talkers. Well, except that one guy at the front and really religious girl who kept bringing up marriage. Interesting coversations resulted from that ...
Anyway. After that I had my reading test in Japanese. Went pretty well. I memorized the script, which was a bonus. "Mearisan wa kabuki ga suki desu ka? Kabuki desu ka? Amari shirimasen. Demo, Roobatosan wa omoshirokatta to itte imashita. Kabuki no kippu o nimai moratta kara, mi ni ikimasen ka? Ee, zehi. Itsu desu ka? Mokuyoubi desu. Juu ni ji kara yo ji made desu." So yeah. Not that hard. Still nervewracking.
Then I left right away, went back to the music, and bummed around online. Got my homework. Used the internets. Watched the first episode of the third season of (formerly Axis Powers Hetalia) World Series Hetalia (the raw). Then I went to the Institute, and came out to a kind-of friend. That ........ Augh.
Why is it so hard to understand that some people don't like other people in that way? Bleh. The topic of my squish came up (not a crush, look it up on urban dictionary or something). She didn't believe me that squish is a legitimate term, but I kept insisting that it was a squish, then said, "I don't like people "that way", okay?"
For some reason, this was really, really hard for her to get. So she asked if I was a "lez." My response was, right away, "No, I'm an a." That got a strange look, so I elaborated. "Asexual?" still a blank look. "Asexual is someone who doesn't experience sexual attraction."
That got a reaction. She asked if I didn't like people in the way that I wanted to touch and kiss them - I said no. I don't like people that way. *sigh*
And that is where she started arguing about it. She kept insisting that I hadn't met the right one. T__T What's so hard to understand that I don't have sexual attraction? Of course, I replied with, "No, that would make me "demi,"' to which she just sighed in exasperation. As if I shouldn't know these things or even care. ._______. Needless to say, it made me angry. At least she dropped it - even if she doesn't believe me, she knows now. I didn't want to come out to her. I really didn't. I knew she wouldn't understand, even as open minded as she seemed...
Bleh. So today was strange. Good. Bad. Tiring. Sad. Angering. Frustrating. Anxious. I guess those are mostly negative-sounding words. But overall, I think it was a good day.
Oh, yeah, and I recommend reading the book The Fabric Of Reality by David Deutsch. Mind blowing, and I'm only on the third chapter. Seriously. =3
