things i am scared of doing:
- ordering food in a restaurant
- walking down a busy high street on my own
- talking to people on the phone
- eating in front of people
- asking for help in a shop
- meeting new people
- being in a big crowd of people with a lot of people i don’t know
the future looks bright for me

Pink Zebra Ninja Shoes →

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.
However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)
“Ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Best. Explanation. Ever.
also queues are funny things because in the past three weeks I've been on tumblr precisely two times, yet because of my queue I continuously post things.
things for my minus five followers who most likely do not give a crap, but still.

it’s late, I’ve been studying philosophy for three days (according to Sartre, people are not like scissors or refridgerators. That’s legit what my book said. Try and find a life lesson in that)
for some reason when it's late or I'm tired I start screaming on internet messages.
like caps lock. and not use proper capitals or structure.
dunno.
I pretty much become obnoxious.
