I think i was a boy in my past life...

Hahaha! (Okay, how many blogs should start with hahaha?). Its a signal that this is going to be pretty insane.

I don't believe in past lives really, but i still say this statement coz theres no other way i can think of putting it. It just got into me how I seem to like doing boy stuff. I like to play the drums (Yes, the drums magnetize me and when i see one, I rush to play even when im wearing a skirt! Mock me!). I like cars and races. I like video games. I like watching NBA and NFL. But no, I don't like women. Just because I'm having "men fatigue" doesn't mean I'm gay. Uh-ugh. I'm just a girl cowboy...or something. Hahaha!

Maybe this is the reason why its easy for me to be friends and get along well with guys. My social circle isn't an all-girly group either. The only problem I usually have is that men start to eventually ask for more than friendship. It happens many times. Sometimes I feel like its not really possible to keep something "platonic" with them. But I do have guy friends who are just there to stay insane and goof around through thick or thin, in sickness or in health.

I'm close with my bro as well. We went to the same schools together and I remember that when we used to bump into each other in campus, we were either borrowing money to buy junkies or telling each other to piss off and keep away from each other's friends. He's two years younger than me. We fight a lot, yeah. That's normal...especially that we're both obnoxious beings who emerged from the same unobnoxious womb. But my brother influences my liking for basketball and football. He's the only sibling I have, by the way. I have two older "sisters", who are my cousins and whom I'm very close with as well. They were the ones responsible for "honing" the girly side of me... I'm just guessing.

My dad's one of my best friends as well (My mom too, but were talking about the origin of my "boyhood" and its influences). He doesnt treat me like a boy but he's my jogging bud. And he's the funniest guy I know. I think I got a huge part of the insanity from him ( Too bad he won't read this). His jokes are hilarious and whenever he's around, there's always laughter. He has very creative ways of telling you his friend's names. He gives out funny clues and stuff and until you're almost choking from too much laughing, he won't stop. Yep, that's my dad. When he talks about serious things like the fact that I would be married in the future, he puts in a way that is not irritatingly pressuringly baffling. That I'm close with him makes me feel like any "men problems" I may have can just be laughed off. Not that they should ot be taken seriously. They should just be taken lightly. The song "Butterfly Kisses" tells our story. Its about a dad singing a song about his little girl from the time she learned how to ride a pony to when she turned 16 to when he had to give her away on her wedding day...

Okay, before this turns into something gooeystick, I have to find my point. My point is that there's my dad and bro to blame for my boyish interests. This is something rather inconspicuous really. People don't think these are what I like to do until they see me hitting the drum set wearing a nicey-nicey skirty with dangling earrings and makeup. Or till they learn I cheer for Lakers like there's no tomorrow and that I know the history of the NBA.

Case closed. I'm a boy. Live with it.

And no, Ricky D, I don't smile more widely about the dessert thing (In reference to the comment I got to the blog entry below this). I pretend I don't hear it. Thats easier. ;-)
