For those of you who sat through and watched Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace years ago, do you remember that one scene where Anakin Skywalker asks Padme if she’s "an angel"? Well... That line isn’t so lame if you think about it. Hmm, actually, it is— But Anakin’s young naiveté in thinking she’s a perfect, um heavenly creature isn’t so farfetched.
Back when I was in 6th grade (yup, here’s my life story. Sort of. Haha), I met this one girl named Jacquelyn who was one of my brother’s classmates in 8th grade. When I first got to know her, I thought she was perfect; really pretty, and a sweet personality (note to self: This entry can get REAL sissy-ish pretty fast). I had a major crush on her, which all of my classmates who teased me about her the next two school years could attest to.
Then in one afterschool moment, I was sitting next to Jackie on a brick wall near the school's basketball court, and she started to go off on a profanity-laced rant about her boyfriend. And then suddenly...the perfect, um angelic (note to self: This entry can get REAL sissy-ish pretty— Oh wait) point of view I had of her shattered.
Overlooking the fact Jackie was the first girl I ever hugged (Didn't think this life story could get any more pathetic, eh? Proved YOU wrong), I still became disillusioned...about Asian girls that is. Haha.
That’s probably why it’s a lot easier for me to talk to non-Asian ladies than ladies of my own ethnicity (even mentioned this in a previous blog). That disillusionment, which I know sounds pretty lame (along with the rest of this entry), lingers today...and somewhat made me acerbic (look that up on a thesaurus) towards females of the Asian persuasion.
When I first get to know an Asian girl, she’s really sweet and all that. And then she develops an attitude and starts to curse more than George Carlin.
Of course, be realistic: No one’s perfect (learned that in 6th grade!) and everyone cusses now and then...either vocally or in their thoughts. But some of that may also be my fault.
With some Asian gals I met recently, I would randomly cuss here and there in a conversation before I ever heard them use foul language. Basically, I went on a preemptive, profanity-laced rant before they did.
I mean, heck— Get them disillusioned about how I really am before they do the same to me, ya know? LOL.
But anyways... Just thought I’d get that out. Another reason why it’s hard to talk to most Asian girls is because I put them on such a high pedestal in my mind since I was young (like, um, 4th grade. Or did that start with Jackie as well? Or is this the very same theme as the one I’ve been talking about throughout this entire friggin' post? Whatever).
It’s like what someone told me recently: There are more than 3 billion females out there in the world... Why should one of them be treated so differently? ("‘CAUSE SHE’S F**KIN' HOT!!") That is all.
