Well, it's official. I'm a Jpop boyband fan... well, not so much a fan than I think they're hot. Especially Arashi and Da Pump. ^_^

This is a bit unusual for me, since I've only recently started to think of asians as hot. I had a rather interesting conversation with L about this, since she's on the other side of the scale (asian who only likes other asians). She expressed how she found it weird that I wasn't attracted to my own race. I then pointed out the confining rules which she judges a guy with. The intelligent part of the conversation more or less ends there with us yelling at each other. But, we were still friends after all was said and done.

That was quite some time ago, and when I picked up the bi-weekly school paper, there was an article about interracial dating and marriage. I can't possibly imagine how things would have been different had I lived a few decades earlier. Not only would I have to face near intolerance for my sexuality, but also the partner I chose to live life with (or for a week, in some cases). But, I did some self-analyzation, and I'm beginning to understand why I prefer white guys above all the other different kinds. When I was growing up in the Arizona suburbia, I wasn't surrounded by many asians, and the only other filipinos around were two sibs whose parents had befriended mine. In fact, the neighborhood was predominantly caucasian.

When I moved over to Las Vegas, I found my usual pick of guys to being almost a minority as compared to the blacks, hispanics, and (of course) asians. Infact, the whole attitude of the place was foreign to me and it took a good part of that year (and several shows of Rocky) for me to break out of that little mold I was enclosed in. Still... I've been fantasizing about white guys for so long that they're familiar "territory" while all the others were something I hadn't considered for the first 14 years of my life... And I wouldn't be able to handle excessively meddling parents/sibs/relatives if my mate was asian (or filipino for that matter). So, I'm content to licking... erm, liking my men pale...or slightly bronzed.

And in other news, it seems that everytime I come here I always get a wave of ugly guys before seeing any remotely cute ones.... hrm.
