Why I have yellow shoes

Why do I wear yellow shoes?

What's wrong with that in the first place?

I wear what I like and any individual who doesn't agree with me can go bang his/her head against the wall.

If you know me well enough, I enjoy owning things that are unique. Read: unique equals nice, not ugly to an extent where no one wears it.

That is why I have my yellow Nikes.

That is why I tie hot pink thread onto my oboe reeds.

That is why I play a XL.

That is why I am broke.

Perhaps some people would think I'm just trying to attract attention. Well, if I do, I would probably do more than that! I recall seeing these 2 ladies in their 50s. They were the pinnacle of flamboyant-ism! Not only were they dressed in loud colours and covered in tons of powder, they HAD to sashay their way through a food court. Someone save my eyes!

Still, they got what they wanted. Attention.

It's probably all the wrong thoughts in on-lookers but do they care? I think they don't and are actually happily basking in the attention. And no, I don't think I would ever dress that way when I'm 50.

People would probably think that I'm gay.

Hey! Maybe some of them think I am! After all, I have yellow shoes and uses pink thread!

I'd be quite amused if someone questions my sexuality. Well, perhaps, disturbed and baffled too.

My friend, however, wasn't as amused as I was when someone thought that he was gay! He was told by a colleague that he thought that my friend was gay the whole of the 3 years that he knew him. Not that they were very close friends or whatsoever, it was just an impression.

My friend was so disturbed by it that he went around half the day asking people if he looked gay. He! The epitome of masculine-ism! The loud clumsy manly man!

I'm sorry, but I was quite amused by it! Haha!

Come to think of it, I have a few gay friends in my social circle. Oh wait, quite a few! Once, I was with my friend when we saw a couple. He jokingly said: "Hey! You take the woman, I take the man!" I was like -_-!!! If you still don't know, this friend is as straight as curly fries.

My point is: If you are gay, I'm fine with it.

My friend was having a discussion about gender differences on her blog. It came to a point when someone concluded that sex and gender are 2 different issues and every individual should have the right to choose their own gender. I'm not quite sure how this point was concluded; I didn't finish reading everything.

This causes me to think: Is homosexuality prevalent in other animals?

Hence, I did a google and yes! It happens!

Ok, maybe I am outdated. How does one define homosexuality? I'm sure all of us have different boundaries. Is it bonding/companionship or merely a sexual relationship? I have close male friends too. Which side of the line am I on?

I know my answer perfectly well. Will the rest of the world see it the same way?

Oh! For the record, I'm extremely straight.

Hey! Wait! I have a pair of red shoes too! Hmmm...
