If only she knew.

Being a Libran, I always praised my supposed innate abilities for handling social situations well.
I'm usually the neutral guy in between, the one who listens to both sides of an argument and makes a decision in my heart, which however often does not surface to express itself. Some may call it being two-faced, I call it being compromising to both parties. Yet, there are times where I can't help but find myself agreeing with someone. As we talk about our views, I slowly realize that I have the exact, if not similar issues with a certain subject with whoever I was talking to. Of course, the subject can refer to anything, even a person.
Let's not get there, however.
I'd like to mention something about my temper. I always thought I had good control over my temper - having a high threshold for criticism of many forms. I also kinda pride myself for my high tolerance, especially towards certain issues which I shall address briefly later on.
However, I have been, on several occasions to be extremely angered, even to an extreme (almost senseless) extent which I have no idea why. It was like, sometimes you just experience the 'trigger' and y'know when something inside you snaps. One of my severe pet peeves is that I hate being labelled. I can take criticism with a pinch of salt any day, including those about my aesthetics or even my supposed cowardice whom one of my friends feel I become when it comes to issues regarding error. Note the word 'supposed'. Time and time again I have told someone to respect my privacy and stop poking his/her nose into the matter because well, like econs, he/she have imperfect information and thus making baseless assumptions would only serve to annoy me. But that's another matter, isn't it?
So, labelling. I'm not sure if this is even a proper social term but oh well whatever. I'm pretty sure it's called social labelling btw. Anyways, god knows for what reason but I tend to get frustrated when someone labels me in relative to something or someone else. For example, say person X and person Y likes to eat food 1, and it just so happened to their group of friends notice person X buying the food. In their minds, there is this immediate connection that links person X to food 1. Now, when person Y buys food 1 and the group of friends notice it, they go 'oh you like food 1 too? Copy X lol.'
Yeah. That pisses me off like fuck.
Perhaps that's the way I am. I like to build a sense of individualism and I strive to be special, or in that sense, not to be juxtaposed to someone just because we have similar taste in certain stuff. Of course, I understand that it is only natural for people to label others with respect to what they know so as to better classify and organize their thoughts and memories about others but like I said, it's my pet peeve.
Oh well.
Anyways, I guess I should really be concentrating on my prelims rather than this shit right now. In fact I was banned from computer. Of course, this led to much fury in me when it happened but I've since come to terms with it. After all, it was beneficial to me in a way. I mean look at what's happening now, my sis asked me to help her check some mail and I had no choice but to turn on the computer. 5 min of checking turned to 3 hours of computer usage which spawned no less than a couple song downloads and of course, this blog post.
Well, I better get going.
Cya in a few,
Later.
Do you feel the fire burning like it was?
