Intro

You: Hey Bruno, how are you?  How is Korea?

Me: Hey! Yeah, not bad. korea’s awesome!

You: so.. what’s up with this, you decided to write a blog? How come?

Me: well, It often happens that I meet someone new and after we talk for a while, they ask me if I have a blog or I write about travels or about me, a diary or something, and usually my answer would go something like:

  -“not interested, have no time”

 -“my life is quite boring actually, I just play videogames all day”

-“can’t read, I’m illiterate” (then ask for some spare change)

-“I’m not good at writing, wouldn’t know what to write about”

-“who would care about my life” and then they say -“I would care, that’s why I’m asking you, duh!”

And they have a point of course, but I think I wouldn’t read about someone like me, so why would they?  

Lately though many people who read my comments in forums or groups said I had a gift for writing and I should work on it, so I decided to give it a try.

You: cool! And what do expect to get out of it?

Me: Maybe something like a therapy-- to let things out, you know, so new things can come in--try to take an objective look at my life--self-criticism (hopefully)—maybe learn to laugh at myself a bit more—kill some time—improve writing/editing skills—avoid responsibilities (like I needed an excuse for that!) and maybe even get to know myself a bit better.

You: What is morphing jar?

Me: a card in yu-gi-oh

You: What is yu-gi-oh?

Me:  an anime, trading card game, videogame

You: what’s an “anime”???

Me: Japanese cartoon, like pokemon.

You: oh, you’re a bit of a geek aren’t you?

Me: well.. a bit.

You: are you gonna write about pokemon in your blog?

Me: probably yes, sometimes, but not just about pokemon.

You: are you gonna write about your sex life?

Me: probably not.

You: why not? Are you gay?

Me: what??? No, what makes you think that?

You: well, everytime I see you, you are wearing pink, giggling, talking and acting like a girl. You don’t like sports, you hang out with girls, wear accessories, you like pop music and I think last week you were wearing make up.

Me:  make up? No way!

You: ok, I made the last one up, but the other ones are true.

Me: I get that a lot actually, but maybe I’m confident enough about my sexuality that I don’t need to play by society standards or stereotypes and I can just do whatever I want.

You: ..or maybe you’re gay.

Me: maybe.

 

Note: Morphing Jar was the name chosen when i decided to write, but then I changed it for Bruno's public diary, anyone knows why?
