Labels and the like

[Oatmeal.Soup]

Argh... and Grr.

I despise closemindedness if no one noticed.
I'm a loather of labels, sterotypes, and all other things related in this category. Although I understand the reasoning behind classification, I do not understand why all humans must shy away from each other due to a different label. Whenever I think of labels, I think of soup and music.

Why can't you mix chicken noodle with a little of tomato?

Why can't a little jazz be added to heavy layers of rock?

Most people see nothing wrong with this, other than the fact that soups might taste kinda funky. But humans aren't supposed to be eaten, aside from cannibals and the like. So why do people get the honor of having one label unthoughtfully slapped upon them and get the joy of being avoided of people from the opposite label?

People are a little bit of sugar and spice, light and dark, simple and unique. Why can't we just admit that and get to know everyone separately rather than meet one person of the so-called label and then immediately decide you dislike that 'kind' of people?

It makes no sense to be because no one's simplifying anything. Everyone is different, and although it may seem easier to categorize everyone, it truly isn't. You could waste you time being a complete bitch and ignoring those of a different label or you could actually get to know people for what they are.


Hell, we're all a little bit of everything, so why bother labeling? Why not just say-- I'm me? Rather than--- she's a punk. What the fuck is that supposed to mean anyway? It'd be better to go--- she's herself. She's crazy, sarcastic, a little squirmish, yada yada--- It makes more sense to me to describe who you are with words rather than labels.

Because you can only have one label, but you can have many words.

You are on to something there! i agree with you, although you might hear me use a label to describe something b/c i cnt think of n e way else to say it.

My mom is bad at sterotyping. she'll see a guy will long black hair, piercings, and dark clothes and she'll say " OMG HE LOOKS FREAKY" and i'm thinking in my head,,,, hes kinda hot...lol
i hate it. she needs to learn to live with people! she even will like tell me to put on less eye makup if its too dark. if my bf gets another piercing she wont let me date him n e more. and thats total bull shit cuz like he only has like 2. he has his eyebrow and his lip so i'm like WTF. and its even worse cuz i've been going out with him for over a YEAR.



wow... sorry. that was me getting rid of alot of bottled up anger..

[spiralnotebook]

your both on to something but yeah I have stereotyping and labels and stuff I mean if anything label us but you would have to have DIFFERENT labels for EVERY person on this effing planet. *that could take a while!*

[revengefreak]

Yes that would take a bit of time.and i agree with linz guys with piercing are rele hot. Yay, i brought up the topic of me geting a lip ring and my parents went bilistic. it was pretty funi. but i still can't get a lip ring *sighs* oh well i'll get one when i'm 18 so HA! fuck them all!! cough i mean i luv everyone *rolls eyes*

[spiralnotebook]

hee hee they are as long as the person doesnt go overboard and has like 150 piercings I've seen it... had nightmares... not pretty... at all...

yeah I want a lip ring in the middle of my bottom lip. but my dad would prolly see it then grab it and rip it out so oww. but I will *if everything goes as planned* never see him again after I tell him off majorly on my 18th bday. except for his funeral which I may or may not go to. that and tattoos I like them on people as long as they dont have body suits of it and I'm getting a celtic knot on my right lower back like right above my him and I'll prolly get some other stuff. only in places I can easily cover up though. I dont think it looks good when you have tattoos showing in like fancy dresses *weddings and funerals and the like* and on job interviews they discriminate so tattoos have to be a no show on most interviews. so yeah............ are any of you planning on getting tattoos?

[revengefreak]

i am prolly but like u said places easy to cover up. when my horse gizmo dies which will be rele sad. i will prolly get a tatoo or if thats not an option ....suicide. haha now it's an option. i've already planned what i want it to be and stuff. so yeah....ummm...u guys heard nothing about this in case my mom/police interagates u ok! say nothing.....um yeah just ignore the last part there OK?!

[spiralnotebook]

sure yeah okay. no suicide otherwise I'd have to kill you. *talk of irony* but seriously tattoos much better.
