same direction.

I wish I could read 10000000 minds at a time. That would make sociological imagination much easier and accurate. (When will I stop being stupid?)

I need answers. Oh forget answers; everybody wants answers but we never get any - in the end we just assume. But how far, really, can these porcelain constructions last? How much more strain can they handle? Will the time come soon in the event where all the premises are to be destroyed and a wholly new architecture erected?

And here I am, trying (so hard) to study the existing system of thoughts and my mediocre brain capacity and concentration span not helping, at all (instead it goes the other way). Man.

Anyways, I was thinking about my Sociology research paper. Gonna go solo this time, hassle-free. Indulgence in Sociology is finally achievable: best possible lecturer, best possible lectures, and despite the gruesome air conditioning, the best discussion classes. I have not spoken in class, mainly due to the fear of my emotional offensiveness, but I will make sure that comes to an end.

The auditorium is cold. My favorite spot is under the vent. Fuck that.

Back to the paper. My list of possible topics (with the required emphasis on "Effects") has been generated, but my main interest lies on the topic of sexuality. This paper offers me another way of studying the topic; instead of clinging onto the same archaic psychological (or worse, stereotypical) explanations, I seek new ideas.

Other topics include:

Same-Sex Marriage & Adoption. (I hope it is appropriate social research.) Why do homosexual couples want to get married? I assume it is either marriage means a lot (which I doubt, because cohabitation is already sufficient and equivalent) or, adoption of kids is desired to take place. Segregation of marriage and parenthood. Issues. "If you don't like gay marriage then don't marry a gay person." Wtf haha.

Suicide. This will benefit me more, I think. And Dr Adnan is a suicidologist. Fuck yeah! Love him, he is the best lecturer anyone can get for Sociology (or maybe Psychology, I wish he taught that).

Gender conditioning. Another reexamination of topic. Studying this seem interesting as it was intriguing work when I first came into contact with it.

Racism. Nuff said.

Is promiscuity an issue? Ha-ha.

Last resort: Consumerism.

Any ideas, people? I need help here. Am still an infantile-minded person.

In the last Sociology class, the topic of homosexuality makes its return. I was shocked (and disappointed) to hear that my idea of sexuality being a continuum is rational and possible (disappointed because I didn't say it, there goes class participation).

Here's my view. It is a tad different from what the proponent said in class, nevertheless identical. IMO, everyone is falls in between the continuum between the two extremes of utter 'manliness' - complete masculinity, and total feminity, regardless of sex. Of course, though, sex plays a part in determining your alleged amount of hormone and hence affecting the position in the continuum but sex does not say exactly where you are. Genetics play, and of course the wonders of gender conditioning (or accidental gender conditioning), trauma and mainly the psychological development instills a certain sense of direction in the dot.

The difference of my continuum and theirs is the two extremes - they placed homosexuality and heterosexuality of both sides. What about zoophilia and pedophilia and the sorts? I am starting to think there is more to the continuum, which might be the possible event that there are more than two extremes.

What do you think?
Trying to make my brain work seemed a bit lame. I am still infantile at this.

Ever had a zit on your chest? A fucking bitch it is.

Please voice your opinions, silent lurkers (if there are any). I value it with my life. It's time I learn to think. I hope Marx's theory of Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis works.

Thesis: Me.
Antithesis: Hatred & Murder.
Synthesis: Space. Food. Oxygen.

I kid (but no one laughs). So please tell me what you think, about anything.

My thoughts: I think I just fried my brain reading your jargon-filled post.

My resurrected thoughts after brain damage: Go for a topic you feel really strongly about...because you need real motivation to drive you to find as much as you can and also work your head around the matter. And said topic has been listed in your post. You already know which one. Do it.

My thoughts now: I need to get off the Internet. Six continuous hours on it has killed me. Ttyl! :)
