001.What do you like to be called?: Ri
002.How old are you?: 19
003.Chick or Dude?: chick
004.Whats your location?: Massachusetts for college.
005.Tell us something about yourself.: I have an accent no matter what language I speak, even when I speak my native language (Indonesian).
006.Sexual prefrence?: Unknown thus far.
007.Dating Status?: In a relationship.
What do you think about…?
008.Country Music: I don't have anything against it. Sure it's cheesy, but isn't most music? Cheese is nice in moderation. Is it really the music that pisses people off, or the image of the culture it presents, especially in these subculture-ish parts?
009.Love: It's intense.
010.Chicken: Strangely ubiquitous.
011.Arranged Marriages: Dudes, they're not these horrible things. In many cases, people meet in formal situations beforehand, and if it turns out they don't like each other, then their parents just try to arrange them with someone else. Some people even prefer arranged marriages because it gives them the chance to focus on other things like school, and they won't be distracted by worries like "Am I too ugly to get a guy?" or "Will I be alone for the rest of my life?" It turns out to be a self-esteem boost that way. I read the testimony of a woman in an arranged marriage and she said something along the lines of, "If you get married to someone who you already know very well, then where's the magic and romance and mystery in that?" These people don't necessarily feel like they're deprived of their freedoms,see? I know people whose parents will arrange their marriage for them. It isn't just some crude medieval practice, and it doesn't necessarily go against the idea of modernity.
012.Drugs: Goddamn, the danger of drugs is overblown. Go to
Erowid for a frank and honest discussion about drugs. Some drugs are truly dangerous, yes, true, but stuff like marijuana? If alcohol is legal, I don't understand why marijuana is not. It's fine in responsible doses. Canada and the Netherlands, you know what I'm talking about.
013.Organized Religion: I like the Dude Upstairs, but not His/Her/Its fan club.
014.Sex: Fun! But stay smart, stay safe, and know what you're comfortable with.
015.Low-Carb Craze/Atkins Diet: I don't like to diet.
016.Same-Sex Marriages: I support it. The controversy surrounding it frustrates me.
