running away really isnt easy, aka a bunch of randomness

on a russian website about the benefits of drinking tea : "Drinking Canned Capitalism (Coke) contradicts the very principles of the open source movement, for it is a closed source product, manufactured by a huge, evil corporation."

"girls are so much more fun than boys"
"boys are good for dodgy stuff though"
"yeahhhhh"

i get stared at, a lot. little girls stare at me in utter amazement and wonder, which i suppose is all right, perhaps they've never seen an asian girl. fine. middle-aged men not only stare at me, but when i walk around them they actually turn just to continue staring at me. middle-aged men are... well, i suppose you know what i mean. so i just ignore it. old men stare at me but that i'm used to, old men are generally very friendly to me, not in a freaky way, so thats alright. but old ladies. my god, they are they worst. they stare at me unflinchingly, unabashedly, and refuse to look away even when i meet their stares head-on. honestly! have they never in their 70 years or so of life seen an asian girl on the bus, on a bike, on the road, wherever?!! and it isnt like i wear outrageous clothes or do stuff in public that they might disapprove of. grrrrrr!
