Bye Mitsie
Here I am, at work, sittingly idly because the website I'm supposed to test is down. I guess it's a good time to update you lovely people on my life, whilst getting paid.
I have had a very busy couple of weeks, working like a dog and going to job interviews (for a full time job). Money, what else is there (I'm only quoting =)). Job interviews are interesting actually. I mean job interviews themselves are pathetically dull, they always end up asking the same questions no matter how creative they try to be. But the whole experience is almost enlightening. For starters I'm learning to be accepting of rejections hehe. But also when I work at other large companies and with their employees, I see how wrong the whole human resource acquisition process can get. I almost feel vindicated that they're rejecting me for these duds. It could be that I'm bad at interviews or I'm just delusional about my abilities. I highly doubt it =p But it is definitely a difficult business, finding good people to hire.
I'm trying to think of anything interesting to talk about but so far nothing comes to mind. Anything that is both interesting and not infringing upon people's privacy that is, heh heh. Let's talk about rice queens (for my straight friends: this term usually refers to a Caucasian gay man who is exclusively attracted to Asian men) and paedophiles then lol.
It is official from all the empirical data I have collected mentally from minute and inconspicuous observation that rice queens are mostly attracted to boyish guys. By boyish I mean they have to look like they're 12. This is by no means a criticism because I'm pretty open-minded about this sort of stuff. It's just frustrating that I can't compete with that hehe. I mean usually I steer clear well away from 'rice queens' or anyone that kids themselves thinking attraction based on one's race is OK. But occasionally I do see a 'nice rice queen' who can possibly be reformed through my education =p But no, they'd just be mesmerised by some random 12yo-looking asian guy walking past and that's that.
This is not to say that this attraction towards younger looking guys is peculiar to the world of rice queens. In fact, a serious amount of people, including my friends who are mostly close to being 20yo, find guys who look under 18 attractive. I've got no problem with that. What I have problem with is the denial and hypocrisy surrounding this issue I witness in people. "Oh no, he's only a first year, I can't possibly date him!" And soon this sort of introspections comes out and tries to regulate other people's behaviour by stigmatising people who do act upon their attraction and date younger guys.
I'm going nowhere with this of course since I'm writing about a vastly complex issue on a blog. But what I'm trying to say I guess is that paedophilia is not a black & white issue (then again, nothing is) and I just hate how militaristic people become over it. Bah.
