Self-mutilate or wank?
Well anyway I forgot to mention that during the dinner yesterday, there was this short short cute cute little girl, who is of my age. I like her uneven tooth. Adds to the cute factor.
That's beside the point.
The point was that out of the 7 teenagers sitting at the table, only 2 knows how to use chopsticks.
The minority is inclusive of me.
Um. Oh yea. The point about mentioning the girl was that she's the other chopstick-user.
I always thought that the use of chopsticks was rather prevalent in Singapore. Or at least, for the Chinese. I mean, I eat my Fei Siong everyday with chopsticks.
I thought every other Chinese would be able to use this utensil, even if they aren't using it the correct way.
It's part of our culture anyway. Or so I thought.
Pssch. It's such an interesting eating utensil lor. I seriously don't know why Chinese families don't let their children eat with them.
Forks? Who cares about skewering stuff? OK, that might be a bit fun, but well, that's that. Looks barbaric anyway. I'd rather eat with my hands.
No, seriously, I feel that all Chinese people should at least be able to use the chopsticks. I don't know where I got that sentiment from though. Ah well.
So, um, do you use chopsticks at home?
And..would you let your children use chopsticks at home? Chopstick training might be tough though.
Enough of that bullshit. Let's talk about more bullshit.
Here's are 2 ways of dealing with Emotions: Self-mutilation and Masturbation.
Let's talk about self-mutilation first.
1) It releases endorphins. Endorphins reduces the sensation of pain and affects emotions. The pain you inflict on yourself has its impact reduced by your brain itself.
Quite contradictory. Like, you on the air-conditioner and wear a jacket kind of self-contradiction.
I guess that's a good point, because you feel warm and protected against the cold and stuff like that. I've never cut before so I won't know. What I do know is that air-conditioned rooms are heavenly.
So I guess the release of endorphins is good. I mean, it numbs pain and emotions. A good way of dealing with emotional turmoil. I sometimes whack myself on the chest or engage in stupid activities like opening the door with my chest, just because I can.
Zomg King Kong is a self-mutilator. =.=
Um. I guess that's the only good point.
Disadvantages of cutting: Scars.
If you want your skin to be beautiful and perfect, and you don't want your future spouse or sex partner to be turned off by your kueh lapis-like skin, then don't cut yourself.
Oh, and there's the de-sensitizing pain, numbing of pain, uhh something along the lines of moral degradation bullshit that I can't quite agree on, but I do agree that it's an unhealthy way of dealing with your emotions. I won't even consider it a way of dealing with your emotions. After you cut yourself, you run the risk of infections, tetanus, scarification.
And you feel even more pain. So, let's say that I got snubbed in school today. So I went to the toilet to cut myself. After I cut myself, I went home. I recovered from the emotional trauma or whatever shit my friends tried to deal me with, but the pain from the cutting still remains.
Cutting is like admitting that something got to you.
That admittance isn't something good.
Tsktsktsk. So many cons.
Masturbation as a measure; Advantages are as follows(pardon me if punctuation was wrong):
1) It's fun! I mean, after you orgasmise and pssssssssssssch pssssssch psssch psch all over the place, you have this satiated feeling. This is produced by oxytocin. I don't know what it actually does, but from sexperience, it makes people happy.
So when you're sad, you wank, you feel happier. That's why it's called 自慰, y'know, cheer-yourself-up.
2) It doesn't leave any scars! When you have Sex with your Sex Partner, your sex partner won't be turned off by unblemished skin, right? Unless his got some weird shit, and that's a different story.
Oh, besides, it enhances your sexual stamina. So you can last longer and derive more pleasure and shit like that.
Disadvantages? Virtually NOTHING.
OK, the same 'de-sensitizing sex' bullshit, 'moral degradation', blah blah. Those aren't valid points.
I am so pro-masturbation. I think a new culture should be created to take over Gothics and Emos. Heh I nearly typo-ed gothics to guthix =.=
Never mind. The new culture would be wearing colourful shirts and wanking 3 times a day. Not that I do that, but that followers should. Once is never enough.
Ask for more.
Here's a side-by-side, unbiased comparison between the 2 devices:
| Point: | Self-mutilation | Masturbation |
| Does it leave scars? | Yes. | No. |
| Does it feel good? | Yes, for awhile, then it sucks. | Oh, yess… |
| Risk of infections? | High, if you use rusty stuff. No wait. Just high. It’s just a high risk. | No shit? Course not. None. Zilch. Kosong. |
| Turn-off? | Yea. Unless you got people who like kueh-lapis-on-skin kinda fetish. | No. Unless you got the disease aforementioned. |
| Socially acceptable? | No. | Yes. Rather much. Sort of. I guess. |
| Morally degrading? | Supposedly. | Supposedly. |
| Anymore? | Don’t know. | Not sure. |
I hope that was comprehensive.
And to you: Cheer up.
You know what I'd say, and you know what I'd tell you, and I know that you're a rather independent person(at least independent of me), so I'm not gonna go up close and personal with you, melee-style, but you got the point.
