O
I am a nomad (Filipina living in the United Snakes of Amerikkka), an idiosyncrasy waiting to be unraveled. A third-wave feminist, known for staging dishwashing strikes and who's inclined to debate with anyone who doesn't agree with me regarding the politics of housework (among other things).
I dance with dysphoria and am given to castrating chauvinist assholes who practice callimetry (the 'art' of ranking and rating female beauty). But before you think of me as the next Valerie Solanas (founder of Society for Cutting Up Men and author of its Manifesto) or Lorena Bobbitt (the womyn who cut off her husband's penis because he allegedly wouldn't give her an orgasm), get a sense of sarcasm. *scoffs* I do believe that men, womyn, gays, lesbians and trannies should be equal politically, economically, socially. And yes, evidently, I am pro-choice & pro-equal marriage.
Six years of my life was devoted to school organ writing/editing/publishing but I think I love zinestering more because of the journal-like prose and the total informality of it (in short, no deadline). I commit typographical errors a lot (especially when tangled in an online debate and in the middle of stressing a very important point) and am bothered (ashamed?) by it because I came from a tribe of spellers and ink-slingers (I being the most untalented of the bunch). Truth to be told, I am just a grandiloquent ranter who rudely injects her undesired opinions on everything and I mean everything (causing some of my dear friends to be uber-dependent on my overbearing comments. ooh someone's being modest.). Never mistake me for the next Great Filipino Author just because I frequently throw around multi-syllabic jabberwockies. Yes I have this supererogatory liking for words (word buff trivia test ala Jeopardy: "Describe a "pango" nose without using the words "small" or "pug" or synonyms of the mentioned word" *buzz* "What is having intermediate dimensions or having platyrrhine characteristics?" "Cerrrrect!") but the problem lies in the fact that I don't possess the ability to beautifully piece those words together. I unconsciously, unfailingly bastardize verbal stratification. Gaah!
I am easily agitated and extra-irritable whenever I read/hear stories of unjustness...especially if the offender's supposed to know better (self-proclaimed "enlightened" bunch a.k.a. phony political punks *ehem*).
I am verbally violent, especially in situations where I am stripped of my basic rights to speak or do what I think is proper and also because I view the latter as an insult to my judgement. I abhor ascendancy (something The Family Matriarchs a.k.a. Mother & Grandmother really enjoy practicing) with intense zeal--anyone who feels as if he or she must exercise despotism (around me, especially) deserves to be thrown in a dungeon filled with salivating lions. I should never be annoyed/disturbed while 1.) reading 2.) watching CSI 3.) sleeping, especially if there is flammable fluid within the immediate vicinity (God, am I not allowed to relax once in a while?).
Speaking of God, I don't believe in God (strayed Catholic, you know the drill) but most of my close friends are devout Christians and everyone in my family's Roman Catholic, so to keep things tranquil, do not force me to read the Bible or attend Sunday services: abide or be forced to deal with paroxysmal fits...do your thing and I'll do mine. I only respect people who respect me.
I'm really friendly (despite false claims that I'm unapproachable / maldita) I just dislike insipid people who simulate coolness to gain notoriety (tagalog: ayoko sa mga masyadong pa-angas na wala namang binatbat). If only you'd wash your necks, I'd wring it! (-John Sparrow) eto pa--I regard you with an indifference bordering on aversion! (-Robert Louis Stevenson) lol, I also love barbed, witty quotes. Let's trade!
Where was I? Oh, ME! I never ever apologize for standing up and speaking the truth, no matter how many egoes I squish along the way. Fuck "pakisama" (camaraderie) over "principles". I dislike people who remain "objective" or "neutral" or who pretend to ignore INJUSTICE when it's right in front of 'em or even if it bites 'em in the ass. I also loathe people who are tactless with their words...people who throw the word GAY or PUSSY around as if it's an expletive or utilize 'em as adjectives to describe something negative. I know, I know, I make a lot of people fidget and fret. I get on a lot of people's nerves for being so "PC". So bleeding what? Words like "Nazi" & "gook" were socially acceptable until a group of persyns stood up and condemned their very gist/usage and exposed their negative connotations. Grr. Grr. *inhales, exhales*
Lastly, I have an intermittent case of hypobulia (trouble making up one's mind), ombrosalgia (disconsolate disposition whenever it rains), nullibiety (the state of being nowhere), cacoethes loquendi (insatiable urge to talk), cacoethes carpendi (compulsion to criticize), cacoethes scribendi (incurable itch to write)...as if you haven't noticed it yet by this time.
