The Annoying Introvert: The One Who Won't Stop Talking Once They Think They're Okay (And The One Who Stops Talking The Very Next Minutes)

So my last blog post kinda spurs some interesting reaction from people around me, which kinda encourages me to write another blog post which revolves around introversion and panic/anxiety attack. Yay! (See? Once I talk, there's no stopping me from talking. Haha)

There are some misconceptions about introversion and panic/anxiety attack which I noticed from those reactions and I kinda feel the need to address those. Some of those misconceptions are:

1. A friend: "I think I'm an introvert too. Lately, I don't like being around the crowd and I'm not as cheerful as those extroverts anyway."

Okay. Hold your horses.

QUICK REVIEW GALORE

I have this little habit of pretending to be a critic and making reviews every time I read or watch something.  I usually type a brief review with my phone after I finish reading or watching something with the intention to post it later in this blog. However, since I have this chronic laziness to re-write and edit every drafts made on the spur of the moment, not every drafts then made into blog posts.  Today, I have decided to compile some of those short reviews and share it here (The coherent ones with complete sentences, at least. Those with unfinished sentences and random unexplainable words such as "Blergh" or "Buh" will stay forever in the draft folders of my phone)

Let the quick review galore begins (in no specific order)!


A Little Life Update - August 2014


(Prelude: Gawd. My brain is an obvious mess. I can't think straight and currently I am forcing myself to write again.  I am forcing myself to concentrate and move my fingers and write something.  Anything)

So here I am.

You know, if someone decides to take a closer look at my life this past seven months (going eight, this month. Which reminds me that in the next 2 months, I will be officially 29 years old. Yikes), they might see absolutely nothing. This is the year of nothingness for me and I have accepted those fact with literally no hard feeling. However, the niggling feeling that I ought to do something -anything- about my so called life is still hanging above my head and I might have to do something about it sooner or later.

Maybe later (and I'm back to slapping myself again to commit to something. ANYFUCKINGTHING. Gosh)

Agree To Disagree Edition: Pakaian, Objektifikasi Perempuan dan Rape Culture

Salah seorang teman baik saya membuat postingan blog singkat nan menarik yang mengingatkan saya pada salah satu draft blog saya sendiri yang sudah lama tersimpan (you might not believe this, but I have a bulk of blog post drafts - most of them written as my way to procrastinate because I dont want to do my real jobs. Wait. Do I have a job? *snicker* Enough rambling!)

Inti dari postingannya sederhana saja: bahwa ia tidak sepenuhnya setuju dengan jargon "Don't tell us how to dress but tell them not to rape" Awalnya, ketika saya membaca postingan ini, I was like: "Yeah! Totally agree!" (pada saat itu, sayangnya saya melewatkan kata "tidak 100%" yang ditulis di awal paragraf, yang baru terbaca setelah saya kembali membaca postingan ini untuk kedua kalinya. Kalau saya sudah membaca dari awal, mungkin saya tidak akan menyatakan setuju. Because well. I don't agree.). Namun saya langsung mengrenyitkan dahi di akhir postingan ketika ia menyebut bahwa (and I paraphrased here): "Ingin berpakaian dengan baik karena tidak ingin menjadi pemicu"

And my brain came to a screeching halt.
