Assumptions - Right Brained - And Always Have Been - And Now I

    Hmmmm ok - not sure what came over me today, indeed this weekend- I have always disliked the labelling thing- I dislike the way that psychographic profiling works - and the way that software makes reccomendations based on previous choices- it annoys me its all about funnelling people in a logical obsessed left brained blokey way. Like because you like one artist maybe with a high pitched voice then all you will like are those sorts of artists- actually its all bullshit - 

     

    So the same applies when people ask me as a ts what sort of music do you like, assuming my tastes to stop in the 90's or worse in the 30's because of the show girl thing, hell 70's disco, cheeze  - and then they say Oh!!!!!

     

    Well for fecks safe getta a life - why is it so difficult to understand that I like everything . I like rock, . when I like it, as and when it grabs me- I like my metal, I like my dub, I like my dance, I like my drum and bass, old skool, brit pop, asian, electro, euro trance, I like my classical, I like my reggae which is why, when I write my own stuff it will go from metallic, to indie, for fecksake even to bloody psychodellic prog rock - it will go wherever this right brained girl will take it why - because that is what makes it interesting and what is not interesting are people like Simon Cowell who take people and force them into moulds because mouldz guarantees yet further financial reward for him!!!  Moulds also what smells when you don't get your washing done because you can't afford or indeed want to have to go to the launderette, and friends are not as forthcoming as they might expect you to be if they have difficulties with their fecking washing!!! I know its all about  psycho issues there too, won't go there no point. Left brain thing largely that.

     

    So because I am a girl now does that mean I have to like men, so because I am a girl does that mean I can only wear girls clothes - cos not all girls do y'know. For fecks sake - 

     

    Ok ok ok - I know I am not even on hormones yet, but something has really shifted since that meeting... now that does not mean that I don't like short skirts, pretty dresses, high heels, quality underwear, or that I don't want my hair to be long and that I don't want to look as girly as I possibly can neither does it mean I don't occasionally want to look as sophisticated, confident,, sexy and sultry as I can look in classy clothing.
