Observations of male courtship.
On Friday, the OGs were split to watch different local movies, and we were watching Singaporean Dreaming. Or Singapore Dreaming, not very sure of the name. I can't remember names very well.
So there was this guy seated quite near me, one row down, and from another OG. There were some supposed touching scenes in the movie, where humans are not supposed to laugh out loud. I mean, it's OK to remain unmoved, its OK to smile at the scene with tears in your eyes, it's OK to just stone(like remaining unmoved), but it's a bit wrong to laugh out loud. The scene isn't even that funny, but that guy just laughed as if his life depended on it. I can't fathom how his sense of humour(if any) works, because a humorous person would be able to understand what is humorous and what isn't. I think that I am a very funny person, and I didn't manage to laugh at that scene, so I'm inferring that the guy laughing out loud isn't being funny.
So, why would he be laughing? Why should he be laughing?
1) To attract attention.
2) For a blowjob from a hot female of the student population because people who laugh during touching scenes are worthy of blowjobs from hot females.
3) Sex in a toilet with a hot female of the student population, for the same reason as 2).
I understand that being a bit brainless does exempt you from many things, because ignorance is bliss, but there's a line that he crossed and it's an understatement to just say that I'm 'a bit disgusted'.
This is the kind of person who would laugh at gory images, car crashes, and the like, because their definition of cool is such.
'Zomg he laughed at the victim of the pyschopath when the victim got decapitated. That is so cool because normal people would be wincing away, but he's laughing, so he should get a blowjob! Or my virginity, because it's worth giving my first time to such a guy!'
Typing it out makes me feel stupid, so I don't even know why people like him are able to actually act it out and not feel stupid.
Oh wait, that might be his level of intelligence in the first place. Laughing at such scenes = being clever.
Win already, him.
I thought that that was what primary school kids do. I mean, I do remember laughing about things that weren't laughter-inducing, just to attract attention, but I think that being 16-going-17, I have matured, or at the very least, that I am way past that stage wherein laughing at inappropriate times = attracting attention.
I guess that's a form of male courtship anyway. It's like peacocks strutting their wonderful plumage, but instead of plumage, he shits all over the place. Winner.
He also had the cheek to say that I was random. I made random comments to Terence, not to the entire student population as a whole, but I guess my voice carried. He wanted to tear my face apart for it. I think it's because my jokes and randomness are more humorous than his, and that I don't shit all over the place unlike him, so he used me to cover his own shit? Don't know what to say about that, but I'm guessing that he sucks at lifeskills. Pot calling the kettle black.
I'm thinking that it'd take me a long time to get used to co-ed. I still think that co-ed is just wrong. But we all live in a wrong world, so I think I'd just have to get used to it.
Question is, how much would it affect me? In Cat High, I did a lot of weird stuff. I attract a lot of attention, but people can't accuse me of attracting attention because that would mean I am as straight as a rainbow, and I'm guessing that I am not like that. Now that I'm in a co-ed school, I might be labelled as attention-seeking, like the guy I mentioned above, and more people would blog about 'that idiot'(referring to me, duh).
Now, should I change to suit the surroundings or change the surroundings to suit me? Is there anything very wrong about my character? Would me being noisy be detrimental to anyone? Is it OK to do what I enjoy doing?
Should I care about what others think of me? Would I become a public enemy?
Do I care?
School officially starts tomorrow, with lessons and all. I hope I don't die.
