So this week in college writing 1, we received the topic of how non-violent civil disobedience or resistance can be seen through a song. I chose the song Sex Yeah! by Marina and the Diamonds(which is my favorite female singer) because she sings about how much she hates that sex and gender roles rule our society. I enjoyed writing this paper because it was so easy, and because sex really is over exposed in our society. Stores and businesses put out products and clothing so people can feel better about themselves and look "sexier' which is sad.
Another thing that caught my attention this week are relationships. Currently, I am talking to someone, I guess one could call it dating. This guy isn't my boyfriend because I hate titles. My friends tried to tell me that I have commitment issues which is definitely not the case. I haven't ever really been in a relationship because I find it really creepy to get that close to someone mentally and physically. I've been an only child for most of my life and my parents divorced when I was 3, so my mystical outlook on intimacy faded pretty quickly. Not only this, but i'm not an emotional person either, which is interesting because the guy i'm "dating" calls me pet names and all this mushy stuff which I absolutely hate. I even hate PDA. I'm not a very touchy- feely person and its going to be interesting when I explain all of these things to him. I kind of feel like for now, just starting off in college, working on my acting and writing career, and even choosing my career path wisely has got me all tied up; so a relationship would just be more fluff that I don't feel like dealing with.
Well, I'll see what the future holds.
