silly girl I heard few times some guys calling some girls silly. I don't understand exactly the meaning and when it should be used. I know that means "stupid" in some way, but to me sounds like nice way to say to somebody that is stupid.

Non mi ricordo piu Non mi ricordo piu dei tuoi occhi so che mi piacceva il loro colore Non mi ricordo del sapore delle tue labbra so che non baciarli mi faceva dolore Non mi viene piu in mente, nemmeno per caso l' espressione del tuo viso ne parole tue, ne sorriso ma come che era ieri so come sono stata vestita di bianco con bottoncini neri e tutti i miei pensieri e mi chiedo se tu c'eri, se eri la o stavo da sola in camicia bianca con bottoni neri

I want you to accept me for who I am - Discussing homesexuality Recently I heard this sentence from the man who is gay. I saw it on you tube, quite by chance. And it made me thinking. First it is paradoxical. You can't ask someone else to do what you don't do yourself. At least, not in right logic. Although people do that all the time. If the guy from you tube didn't accept himself as he is, born as a man, why he asks from audience to accept him? The other thing that revolves around homosexuality is why the gay men think that being a woman means being a sexually attractive woman. It seems to me they imitate some specific type of woman that is too much feminine. Women are different. They can be ugly, aggressive, not gentle, strong, leaders etc. So why they pick up always the same type of woman they imitate . It is still the man mind and brain that tells them what to imitate. It is common prejudice that women are tidy and gentle. Common men's prejudice. Women know who they are. They don't need to act as "that specific woman" they are free in their being a woman. So it turns up that gay men do not accept the other notion of woman but that feminine one and sexually objectified woman. Consequently they don't accept other people for who they are. They have labels too. "woman that means feminine" . That is prevalent men's opinion. So in the gay guy's head there is still masculine brain telling him what is the woman. You can't escape from who you are, the other's approval is irrelevant. But if you long for other's approval it could be that you are not convinced yourself so you need exterior permission and acceptance.

Lost in translation, did you watch the movie? Couple of days ago I watched a movie "Lost in translation" that features young Scarlett Johaneson and Bill Murray. I was home alone, and I had nothing better to do, so I started looking for some movie and I picked this one, cause it is highly rated on IMDB and the title is catchy. The plot is simple. Two main actors find themselves in Japan, from different reasons each. They are both bored to death, and they feel pretty much lost in general. What astonished me the most is the fine description of being in the foreign country without knowing the language and not having much to do there. The Japanese mentality is presented without much sympathy. They are strange, weird, somehow it is difficult to correlate with anything they do. It reminds me of some experience I had in Italy. The humor is different, the mentality and the ways of living makes you feel you are new born baby but an adult, which makes more a weirdo. Actually you can easily feel swept aside and excluded from social life.

Can someone explain to me the meaning of this sentence? "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.

Self-stereotype Often people discuss stereotypes, forgetting that is something we have also about ourselves. Self-stereotype could be national, sexual or individual. Persons drives from it sense of commonality, feeling of being part of something, behavioural model that persons try to emulate. For example your nation self-stereotype itself as people of style, great warriors, lovers etc. It is constituted of notions, ideas, characteristics which are generalized and don't necessarily make part of ourselves . When comes to national self -stereotype, i can think of some people I personally met, who were born and raised in big and famous countries with strong self-stereotypes, as England, or Italy, those individuals were living in the shadow of great glory of their country. In some way, they were living inside of that stereotype, driving self esteem and content out of it, without enough conscious of their own life. Not completely independent from national is self-stereotype is about your own sex. .. To be continued
