Numero uno, ACTA. Seriously, what is the Governments' problem with our Internet? (Here's a gist of ACTA) Don't they get that this is our territory they are messing with? Haven't they learned their lesson after watching "largest online protest in history" against SOPA/PIPA? Gosh, politician dudes. Just leave our Internet alone. We're letting you guys feel comfy and important in your seats right?
Just. Don't.
Numero dos. I'm an ISTP, or so this quiz says. And I think it's absolutely incredible that the ISTP Wikipedia article is an almost perfect depiction of my personality. I have always doubted the whole 'everyone is different' idea. But now, this. This is some legit shit. Sure, we're not the same persons but we're pretty similar. We have the same goals in lives (to be validated) and the same fears (failing in life). How different are we exactly? Everyone wants to be described as different or unique because let's face it, it's like death and the afterlife. We create a whole heaven and hell idea because we "couldn't bear the idea of death being a big, black nothing, couldn't imagine themselves not existing." (Looking For Alaska, 2005) Similarly, we tell ourselves that we are different because we need to feel special or what is the point of being your own person? The point here is I am an ISTP and you might be an ISTP and the person drinking that frappuchino in Starbucks could be an ISTP too. We're not really that special, right?
And now, we know there are sixteen kinds of people in this world and not 7 billion kinds of people.
I sound like a pessimist. Ngeh.
Here, have a happy Ponsi with a kitty.
Numero tres, I'll be completely honest here. I think History fucking rocks. Yes, I may have disliked History as much as I disliked dirty toilets during the early years of my secondary schooling life (yes, that much) but I have come to realise that History is actually pretty cool. It's not that boring, if you have the interest to learn about the things people did last time and how it shapes our present. I mean, c'mon. The Crusades is pretty fucking awesome okay? And also, the history of the United Kingdom which I have not read about but will do so soon because it's complicated and shit, just the way I like it. I have learned about the Agricultural Revolution for my exams and this (see below) still makes me fascinated and proud of my cavemen ancestors.
Numero four (ehhe), I am not one of the happy moviegoers of the Hunger Games movie. It's not that the movie is badly done or it strayed really far from the book. The CGIs were really impressive and the cast were brilliant. It's just, the movie simply left me cold and in need of more fuzziness and heartbreak. They left out the bits and pieces that make the book wonderful. Look away now if you have not watch the movie. Because I don't want people to be going around, calling me a person who strips people from the pleasure of watching a movie. *Spoiler alert* They left out Madge (HOW COULD THEY?), the tributes' eyes in the mutations created by The Capitol and the Katniss-Peeta bonding sessions. *End spoiler* And also, not enough violence in the movie. Look, the book is really descriptive with the way the tributes die and sufer but the movie doesn't project the same amount like the book. The violence is to show the extend humans are willing to go to survive and also, to show how fucked up The Capitol is since they are watching these children die as a form of entertainment. These are the itsy bitsy pieces that make The Hunger Games. But they weren't present so much in the movie which is a fucking shame.
But the soundtrack? Pwoah. Especially this. This is fucking boss.

Firstly, WTF at ACTA. I thought they ditched it, cause things got so quiet after a while.
Secondly, I have always gotten different results when I have taken the Meyers-Briggs personality test. The only thing that stays constant is the I and the P. I think at some point you start basing your answers on how you'd like your personality to be, rather than how it is. A sort of projection, I suppose.
But even then I choose not to believe that the entire human population can be neatly divided along the lines of 16 divisions or labels. A basic blueprint or framework for our personalities, sure, but I'm firmly on the side of the fence that says we're all different-but-the-same, if that makes sense. As for legitimacy of the quiz,check out the Validity and Reliability section on the wiki page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator. It's a psychological THEORY, with rather vague descriptors. It's super interesting to discuss and analyze, but I don't know la. Maybe deep down I just want to be my own special unique snowflake of individual specialness. JUST LET ME HAVE MY ILLUSIONS LA OKAY.
Nah, they haven't ditch ACTA yet. Heard the Polish government is okaying it. And that's the whole thing. They're so fucking hush-hush about it and it's super scary. Because not many know about this.
I just believe that everyone is trying too hard to be different that they are actually not so different after all. It's like, I've listened to many versions of relationship problems but if you get the important points out of the whole messed up wed of words, it'll sound like another typical relationship problem. Sama la, everyone acts all weird and shit but we have the same kind core in the end. BUT WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE LA. LET ME HAVE MY ILLUSIONS TOO.
