How do I feel about... roller coasters: I'm not very good at those. However, you can get me to ride one of those if you beg hard enough. I've watched enough documentaries about F1 Fighter Jet pilots to know how to deal with G-forces. So read thoroughly: learn how to pull your stomach back by doing a muscle contraction similar to a stomach crunch. You can also do this motion by doing a very serious butt flex. The trick is to hold this as long as possible. This way, you won't allow your stomach or whatever is sloshing in your body to bounce up and down during the ride. Don't worry if you hurl, I think you're suppose to do that when your body goes through such extreme pressure and gravity change. not being white: What's the big deal about being white? I think some people might think that's it's a racist thing that I'm saying. However, I'm very confused (and slightly frustrated) with U.S. culture and how it glorifies certain qualities about being white. For example, the whole thing about blonds...don't you think it's kind of weird for everyone to be blond when you already know that only white people are blond? So why would you go to such length to bleach your hair and then dye it a godforsaken color that you genetically do not grow on your own? There are other things such as fashion, which really highlights how, in the United States, you know that different clothes are specifically designed for certain people. [Perhaps this is the part where you will start yelling at me...] (moved ~ click here) girls: I love girls, but only in a certain way. I find many girls and women physically attractive. Among them, I think athletic girls and goth girls are the ones that tickle me the most. I have a great appreciation for women who are into sports, although I may not be such a great sports fanatic myself. Goth girls are another favorite, because of the delicate, yet sexy combination of make-up, attitude, and individualism. Pink would be one of the gals on my hottie list and you know she's got tons of gay boy admirers. However, don't expect to ever hear me have a bisexual experience; that's impossible! being scared: Fear is suppose to be...scary. Everyone's body handles it differently though. For me, I feel fear as this insect-crawling-like sensation running up and down my spine. I can sometimes feel the adrenaline pump through my body and from my heart. When I'm really scared, I try to close my eyes sometimes, because I can imagine all the flashing images that run past my eyes. Those images sometimes comes to my mind so fast that I just want to block them out. Fear is when I can't block them out, knowing that I can't do anything but just be there. So fear isn't really about anyone or anything, it's just the play on the circumstances that you're facing. Creepy, huh? poverty: That's a tough topic to discuss. I am sometimes very conscientious about the ways that I talk about it, because you can seriously offend people without even knowing it. I definitely think that poverty exists and it's caused by all the greed, racism, sexism, and homophobia. Some people consider it a disease, because poverty can be passed down from one generation to another, from parent to child. How do we cure poverty? Education, exposure to culture, and having a balanced life. The other end of the tunnel from poverty is not wealth. It's the realization of what you have...an appreciation for the things that you can call your own. It can be dignity (for many people, it's the most valued thing of all), family & togetherness, or just a thirst for life. You don't have to be rich to enjoy life. You just have to find enough positive things in life to drown out the negative stuff. being naked: It's not too bad to be naked. Some people might be embarrassed or uncomfortable with what they see in the mirror. Hey, sometimes they are embarrassed by what they see when others are naked. Sometimes it's difficult to get over this whole societal hype over the nude human form. I don't know what to really say about public nakedness, but it's must not be too fun in either extreme heat or cold. When I look in the mirror (when I am naked), I strangely feel elated that I'm happy with what I see. My mantra for my own body image is, "No one can make you feel ugly except yourself."
