Neutrality

If I had to describe myself in one word it would be "neutral". Why? Simply because I am open-minded and non-judgmental to pretty much anything and everything. A label is not something that we should use on ourselves or other people because we can't possibly classify ourselves into any one category unless someone is shallow and uncreative enough to actually WANT to be predictable and mainstream. Who, on this planet, wants to be boring and predictable? I certainly don't.

Surprisingly, though, there are a lot of "plastics" or "carbon copies" out there in the world. People who copy someone else out of too much admiration, jealousy, or simply because they want to be part of the "in-crowd" are what I call "carbon copies". And no, ladies and gentleman, the term is not to be taken as a compliment. To me, a carbon copy is one of the lowest life forms on the planet. No offense... sort of.

I encourage everyone to make up their own styles and be their own person because then it makes life interesting for both them and the people around them. I may act a bit aloof or air-headed from time to time, but that doesn't mean that I'm "special" (not in the good sense). I like sweets and tend to get hyper, but I'm not naive, oblivious, or ignorant. I may act cold and distant randomly, but that doesn't make me "gothic" or arrogant. They just mean that I'm bi-polar and I have personal issues... and I get bored easily. Having a short attention span is not something to be proud of, for those who like to pretend they're childish and stupid.

Pretending to be something or someone you're not is about as smart as sticking your hand in a garbage disposal while it's turned on. I absolutely hate when people say they have "schizophrenia" or they're "bi-polar" or anything in-between. Having any kind of disorder or psychological problem is NOT cool and does not make you a better person. People who DO have a disorder will tell you as much. I have a friend who takes medication for such issues, she can tell you that it is absolutely NOT fun and that she would rather be a NORMAL person. Then again, what is normal?

Being "Emo" is not cool. Pretending to be Emo is pathetic. "Emo" has become a stereotype and stereotypes are retarded. Goth, Emo, Prep, Punk, Jock, Geek, Nerd, Loner, and everything else you could possibly think of... they're all meaningless and stupid. Just because someone dresses in black or likes sports or someone likes to play video games and mess with computers doesn't mean you can categorize them in as any ONE label. A cheerleader may actually be smart and like to draw in her spare time. A goth may actually like bright colors and play a bit of basketball in his spare time. A nerd may not be so smart and might prefer music to numbers. Humans are unique and there is nobody on this planet who has the right to degrade anyone else so much as to place a label on another.

You know, if people started thinking like this, we might actually find peace and be able to live together without going into another world war and destroying the planet by bombing the shit out of each other. Why should people be able to look at someone else and say right off the bat that they are "this" and "that" and that they act a certain way? Racism is ugly and stupid. Just because we may look, speak, or think differently doesn't mean we have to hate each other for it. "To each his own."

Just because your neighbor's skin is different from yours or that they come from another country doesn't mean you should hate them. I dare you all to try and talk to them at least once and see if they're the person you thought them to be. We are all equal in this world. We all deserve love and happiness and we all have the chance to find it. Nobody has the right to take it away.

Here's a question I'd like you all to answer:

Why do people like to hate?

Astrology

First of all: The word "astrology" comes from the Latin term astrologia ("astronomy"), which in turn derives from the Greek noun αστρολογία: ἄστρον, astron ("constellation" or "star") and -λογία, -logia ("the study of"). [Cited from Wikipedia.com]

A lot of people find Astrology to be an interesting subject and others would say it's just a bunch of bogus. Well, whether it is or is not, it is still fascinating to study. There are also several kinds of astrology that can be found in different cultures and parts of the globe. Western astrology and Chinese astrology being some of the more popular, but there are probably dozens of others that are never mentioned. I find that Celtic astrology is very intriguing. Not everything about them is completely true for anyone, though, but they each tend to have something that you can identify with.

I, myself, am a Gemini (Western astrology), Snake (Chinese astrology), and Hawthorn (Celtic astrology).

For those who are also interested in astrology, here are some links that you can check out:

Genesis

Despite the fact that I'm no real believer of any religion, I dubbed this entry 'Genesis'. The word has no real biblical or religious meaning, it simply means 'beginning' or 'creation' which, for this blog entry, would represent that this is the very first (and, hopefully, not the last) time that I have written a blog (well, at least on this site).

Introductions are at hand, I suppose...

You may call me either Xero or Medea, none of which are my real name. What is my real name? Quite a simple name, really. It used to be quite common, too, but now it is less used and there are increasingly more names derived from the same name that it comes from. Why Xero or Medea? I came up with calling myself Xero many years ago, but (just last year) the name 'Medea' caught my interest and it has stuck to me since then.

I am a twenty year old female living in southern California and that is really all the personal information you'll ever know... So don't ask. Although, a few may come on here and read this and know who I am, I don't expect anyone to really care otherwise. Everything I write in here will be based on my personal life, things I find interesting, and I may put up a rant or two. Be warned, I like to write a lot. :P

This post is really just an introduction and not an actual post... but still important, nonetheless. With that said, I will be ending this so as I may create an actual one...
