Warning: Rant About Trivial Bullshit

[otherlander]

So tonight I got to spend some time with some people who I thought were really cool... except today they kept talking over me and wouldn't let me get a fucking word in edgewise.

My boyfriend and my best friend are getting on my nerves too. My boyfriend has this ridiculous idea that he's "looking out for me", when in fact he's the one who's incredibly fucking naiive- Jesus Christ, the guy still listens to Hannah Montanna and watches YuGiOh. Well, I guess I shouldn't attack him for that. I'm just pissed off. He called me on the phone and during the conversation he asked me if I was going to join a sorrority. I said, "No way, I'm not a people person." He said, "Don't say that, you're TOTALLY A PEOPLE PERSON!" Oh, so now apparantly he knows me better than I do? Politely, I say, "Um, no, man. I'm not. I don't like spending a lot of time with other people. Mostly I like to be alone." He replies- and I quote-, "You might want to consider changing that personna..." (WTFINGHELL?) and continues to explain that it's because he READ SOMETHING IN A MAGAZINE about how people who mostly keep to themselves "don't make a lot of friends". Okay, who the fuck said I WANTED a lot of friends? Who the fuck decided that being a solitary person was a BAD thing?

Deciding that his foot was not yet far enough in his mouth since it was not yet sticking out of his ear, he adds, "You should try new things." Hey, dumbass, guess what? Since I got to college, I've been trying new things that, if you tried, you'd probaly think your foot really WAS sticking out of your ear. Damn right.

Then there's the small matter of my best friend, who also happens to be my boyfriend's ex. My boyfriend and my best friend are also quite good friends. It all works, somehow.

But here's the thing. I thought that she broke up with him because he never returned her phone calls. Now it turns out that she might have broken up with him because he was bisexual. So now my seemingly-awesome best friend apparently has a problem with queerfolk? Hey, I'm not hetero either, you know. What, is she going to start having problems with me next?

Whatever.

1. Reality takes a spin, huh?

I too like spending more time alone than with other people. I don't wish I wasn't that way, it's just the way I am. Your BF's got some growing up to do there.

But I mainly wanted to post a comment on the sexuality thing.

There is heterosexual, there is homosexual, and there is bisexual. (Did I leave anything out?)

Heterosexual people only want sex with the opposite sex.

Homosexual people only want sex with people of the same sex.

Bisexual people can go either way.

Although I have no problem with PEOPLE being gay or bi, I am neither and it would bother me to have sex with a partner who was bi.

And I think it's perfectly normal to feel that way.

If I was already with somebody and then found out they were, it would kinda turn my head inside out. Maybe I would come round and accept it, maybe I wouldn't, I don't know, haven't been there.

Just to point out human beings are all only human.
