Enough is enough...

(My first new post of the new year!)

2009 is over, a new year is upon us, whoop whoop!

But seeing that I haven't made a post last month at all, I was holding in some frustrations with major annoyances in December.

Well, after today, I don't know how much longer I can hold in my frustration. So here we go.

1) Obsession with anything Korean.
Before I go on, I will acknowledge that I am not in any way expressing hate or disgust at anything Korean.

Okay, we all know that Korean music, dramas, Starcraft tournaments, and whatnot seem to be the coolest things in their own respective categories. I admit; they probably are. But OBSESSING over Korean music and such to the point where every other sentence is about Super Junior, SNSD, etc. just crosses the line. It's plain annoying. First few times are all right, but after that I get tired of hearing nothing but Korean music talk. And no, "I'm a fangirl/fanboy" is not an excuse. I enjoy other music and media as well, yet I don't spend 90% of my day discussing them.

2) Narrow viewpoints of movies

I love watching movies. I hate it when they're viewed in a totally wrong light.

Take Avatar, for example. In my opinion, as well as a lot of other people's, it is one of the most amazing movies of all time. I just happen to know a person who didn't like Avatar. Very surprising, but I decided to hear him out. His reply: "It's not my type of movie...I don't like blue people."

What. The. Fuck.

The movie is entirely based around those blue people (more specifically, Na'vi). And yeah, it's not one of those mindless shoot-'em-up movies where every three seconds someone gets knocked out or blown up. That person just loves those movies. But not all "good movies" are built around vicious fistfights and explosions. Heck, movies like this go BEYOND that.

(Pretty much everyone knew that Avatar wasn't an action film before its release)

The same thing happened when I watched District 9 with another guy.

What narrow scopes. They disgust me.

3) Forcibly taking the burden

In other words, the burden is thrown on me just because people can do so.

For over a month, I unfortunately got myself involved in a feud between two or three people. After a while, I was accused of not helping this one person I was "supposed" to help. That really set me off.

If it's not my fight, I'm not going to make it my fight. End of story. (For those who don't know about that scenario I described...ask me, I guess).

I may update this later. Back to chem.
