A Little Bit Racist
Current mood:  busy
This is from the musical Avenue Q. I think it deserves a blog.
Princeton:
Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?
Kate Monster:
Sure!
Princeton:
Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?
Kate Monster:
Uh huh.
Princeton:
Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.
Kate Monster:
Right.
Princeton:
You're both Monsters.
Kate Monster:
Yeah.
Princeton:
Are you two related?
Kate Monster:
What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!
Princeton:
Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!
Kate Monster:
Well, it's a touchy subject.
No, not all Monsters are related.
What are you trying say, huh?
That we all look the same to you?
Huh, huh, huh?
Princeton:
No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry,
I guess that was a little racist.
Kate Monster:
I should say so. You should be much more
careful when you're talking about the
sensitive subject of race.
Princeton:
Well, look who's talking!
Kate Monster:
What do you mean?
Princeton:
What about that special Monster School you told me about?
Kate Monster:
What about it?
Princeton:
Could someone like me go there?
Kate Monster:
No, we don't want people like you-
Princeton:
You see?!
You're a little bit racist.
Kate Monster:
Well, you're a little bit too.
Princeton:
I guess we're both a little bit racist.
Kate Monster:
Admitting it is not an easy thing to do...
Princeton:
But I guess it's true.
Kate Monster:
Between me and you,
I think
Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go
Around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.
Princeton:
Now not big judgments, like who to hire
or who to buy a newspaper from -
Kate Monster:
No!
Princeton:
No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican
busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!
Kate Monster:
Right!
Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Today.
So, everyone's a little bit racist
Okay!
Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,
But you laugh because
They're based on truth.
Don't take them as
Personal attacks.
Everyone enjoys them -
So relax!
Princeton:
All right, stop me if you've heard this one.
Kate Monster:
Okay!
Princeton:
There's a plan going down and there's only
one paracute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...
Kate Monster:
And a black guy!
Gary Coleman:
Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?
Kate Monster:
Uh...
Gary Coleman:
You were telling a black joke!
Princeton:
Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.
Gary Coleman:
I don't.
Princeton:
Well, of course you don't - you're black!
But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?
Gary Coleman:
Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!
Princeton:
Now, don't you think that's a little racist?
Gary Coleman:
Well, damn, I guess you're right.
Kate Monster:
You're a little bit racist.
Gary Coleman:
Well, you're a little bit too.
Princeton:
We're all a little bit racist.
Gary Coleman:
I think that I would
Have to agree with you.
Princeton/Kate Monster:
We're glad you do.
Gary Coleman:
It's sad but true!
Everyone's a little bit racist -
All right!
Kate Monster:
All right!
Princeton:
All right!
Gary Coleman:
All right!
Bigotry has never been
Exclusively white
All:
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
Even though we all know
That it's wrong,
Maybe it would help us
Get along.
Princeton:
Oh, Christ do I feel good.
Gary Coleman:
Now there was a fine upstanding black man!
Princeton:
Who?
Gary Coleman:
Jesus Christ.
Kate Monster:
But, Gary, Jesus was white.
Gary Coleman:
No, Jesus was black.
Kate Monster:
No, Jesus was white.
Gary Coleman:
No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black-
Princeton:
Guys, guys...Jesus was Jewish!
Brian:
Hey guys, what are you laughing about?
Gary Coleman:
Racism!
Brian:
Cool.
Christmas Eve:
BRIAN! Come back here!
You take out lecycuraburs!
Princeton:
What's that mean?
Brian:
Um, recyclables.
Hey, don't laugh at her!
How many languages do you speak?
Kate Monster:
Oh, come off it, Brian!
Everyone's a little bit racist.
Brian:
I'm not!
Princeton:
Oh no?
Brian:
Nope!
How many Oriental wives
Have you got?
Christmas Eve:
What? Brian!
Princeton:
Brian, buddy, where you been?
The term is Asian-American!
Christmas Eve:
I know you are no
Intending to be
But calling me Oriental -
Offensive to me!
Brian:
I'm sorry, honey, I love you.
Christmas Eve:
And I love you.
Brian:
But you're racist, too.
Christmas Eve:
Yes, I know.
The Jews have all
The money
And the whites have all
The power.
And I'm always in taxi-cab
With driver who no shower!
Princeton:
Me too!
Kate Monster:
Me too!
Gary Coleman:
I can't even get a taxi!
All:
Everyone's a little bit racist
It's true.
But everyone is just about
As racist as you!
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
And everyone stopped being
So PC
Maybe we could live in -
Harmony!
Christmas Eve:
Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!

why I dislike being called 'cute'
Current mood:  hungry
this is an excerpt from an article by Ayelet Waldman, who is an amazing fiction writer and is married to Michael Chabon, another freaking AMAZING fiction writer (go read The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay!Now!). I think this explains it pretty well.
(she is writing about her attraction to big, strong men)
"That paradoxical sense of empowerment may explain the reputation for a certain Napoleonic, domineering quality that we small women enjoy. It also helps to account for the hatefulness of the adjective that is our bane, our kryptonite. Ostensibly a compliment, it serves to upset our precarious balance, to throw off our navigation of the big waves and high winds of the world. Not willowy. Never lissome.
cute
This derisive benediction, this slanderous encomium, has been foisted upon me from the dawn of my consciousness about my own appearance. I have always hated it. My four-year-old daughter is cute. Her Hello Kitty lunch box is cute. When our Bernese mountain dog was a puppy, she was very, very cute. But don't call me cute. Cute is powerless; cute is sexless; cute can be dismissed."

requisites for the next person i date
ok since other people have made their lists of what they want in a member of the opposite sex, here is mine:
1. I need to be attracted to him. It is not about how 'good-looking' the person is, its about how the physical pieces come together with the personality. I cannot be attracted to a guy with a crappy personality. It just doesn't happen.
2. Intelligent, but not exceedingly condescending about it...which leads to...
3.Open-minded. The guy doesn't have to love everything i love, but he has to give my stuff a chance, just like I will do for him. Open-minded people also tend to have more varied interests. I like that. I like when I can discuss physics, tolstoy, and football in the same conversation. People that stick to one 'type' of anything and hate everything else, bore me. Watch a movie that you haven't seen before and read a book that is a completely different type that you have ever read before. you might actually like it. This also extends to religion and politics. You don't have to believe the same thing as I do, but you have to agree that each person is entitled to their own beliefs so long as they don't take it out on other people.
4. I want someone who gets passionate about things the way I do. I spent the majority of my life obsessed with gymnastics. My interests and passions have been incredibly varied from sports to photography to russian literature to japanese literature to japanese cinema...etc. People with intensity are attractive.
5. I want someone high energy. I am sick of being the only one who wants to go out and do things. That is not to say that I can't just chill and stay in, but even inside I am wont to dance around the room and coax impromptu wrestling matches out of my friends. If you don't understand the joys of physicality, then you aren't for me...which leads to...
6. Affectionate. No, I am not talking about getting it on at taco bell. Even from my friends I derive a lot of support and comfort from physical affection. If cuddling in public weirds you out, you definitely aren't for me.
7. Motivated. I want someone who wants to go out in the world and make something of himself. Am I biased towards academically-based careers?...yes. they tend to be the most stable and I don't plan on supporting someone else, but I am open to alternative paths so long as they can be well defended. Motivated people also tend to be responsible. Most people that are motivated are also competitive. I like competitiveness so long as it doesn't extend to assholish behavior. I want to win, but not enough to screw over the people i care about.
8. I want someone who can argue. I like arguing. It doesn't mean I want to get mad at each other and yell. I want to get into empassioned discussions where we both learn. That means you need opinions and that you need to be able to support your opinions because i will pick at them, and you can do that to me...in fact I WANT YOU TO.
9. I want someone brutally honest. I didn't say mean. It is possible to always tell the truth without being an asshole, but I appreciate bluntness. I get exhausted by having to drag things out of people. Step it up, grow some balls and express exactly how you feel without having to be asked. I lose interest in 'mysterious' people. I also need to know where i stand. if you are nice to peoples' faces but talk crap behind their back, thats not genuine or honest and you will annoy me.
10. I want someone quirky and neurotic. I am a total nerd. I am incessantly punctual, love going to Rennaisance faires, LOVE horribly stupid and cheesy jokes as well as dry, sarcastic banter, etc. If you are too 'normal' i will get bored. Being into video games doesn't make you a nerd...or interesting. It takes more than that.
11. I need someone with a good sense of humor. I love to laugh, and its not that hard to make me laugh, but I also mean this in the broader sense. Life is funny. The fact that I cut my finger open cutting a bagel with a meat cleaver is funny. You have to be able to find the humor in even the worst situation. I can't last long with a depressed, pessimistic personality. I need someone that can combat my temporary waves of overwhelming cynicism.
yeah so its a long list and this isn't even everything...but its what i have so far.

another decision i have come to*EDITED*
Current mood:  contemplative
so yeah...exes can't be friends. i figure, you broke up for a reason, and that will probably be the reason you can't be friends. Saying that you realize that you weren't meant for each other isn't reason enough. There is a reason why you aren't meant for each other.
On that note, calling your ex-girlfriend a month after you broke up and telling her that the new girl you are dating makes sense of all your pain makes you an asshole. expecting your ex-girlfriend to be happy for you makes you a moron. would you want to be friends with a moronic asshole?
maybe I am wrong and there are people out there who can prove to me that it can happen and people who dated can then be friends without constant drama, but I won't believe it until i see it.
*Edit* ok, maybe you can be casual friends, i am trying to find out. These are the first requisite conditions:
1. you spend a significant time APART before even attempting the friendship
2. You acknowledge and apologize for all shitty actions without even attempting to defend yourself. Just say that you acted like an ass and that you are sorry and that the other person didn't deserve that.
3. You avoid the topic of new relationships LIKE THE PLAGUE. I don't care if we have been broken up for ten years, I JUST DON'T WANT TO KNOW!
and none of these things should really have to be said. If you have to be told, you probably don't deserve the other person as a friend.
That being said...I am more hopeful that I probably should be. (if it isn't clear enough, i am talking about two separate ex-bfs. the evil love g-ds saw it fit to have me either accidentally or on purpose run into THREE ex-bfs in the past week...its just cruel)
