Non- Mainstream>

The other day I saw this word-"non-mainstream" on newspaper, thought of the chinese translation, I laughed. No doubt, this is a funny word. There are other funny words, such as ADULT, EDUCATION, ENGINEERING, DEMOCRATIC,FREEDOM, MAGIC, PROFOUND, LV, CITY,HOLY SHIT, BLOODY HELL,BRA,INFLUENCE, BRAND, CLASS, VISA, ORGASM, FOREVER etc.

What does non-mainstream mean? Only the opposite of mainstream? Or sometimes it means outstanding, special, cool, abnormal, anomalous, atypical, deviant, deviating, different, errant, freakish, irregular, mental, nonstandard, odd, peculiar, psycho, strange, unconventional, unrepresentative, untypical, unusual,weird, abnormal? Well, non-mainstream is meaningful.

Baby wrote in her recent entry saying that both of us are trying to fit into this so called MAINSTREAM society, yet sometimes we just can't adapt, we can't always follow the majority. It may not be a problem for me, because I don't usually feel lost if I'm different from others, it's like everyone listens to pop music, but I still stick to Rock music, everyone has a SWATCH , but I think it's not a worthy bargain.

It's very strange that people usually describe me within few words, such as : "Vivian is a friend I will never forget", "Vivian is a girl with determination", "A genius", "A gal called Vivian", "Vivian, my ex classmate", "Vivian"... Compared with description of others, mine is highly summarised, not that "short and sweet", but succinct, hasty and dry. Well, it's because I fell into this non-mainstream type, I'm so non-mainstream, so that people don't really can get near to me, or to understand me, or those who understand have no idea how to describe a person like me. I'd rather being described as: "Vivian, the gal I often shop with", " Vivian, the gal who cooks well and I love her food","Vivian,who is willing to listen all my craps and complaints"...What I mean here is I'd rather interacting with people than existing as an individual. Technically speaking, everyone is an individual, but I mean I seek more interation, I wish my friends remember me not as what I am, but as what I have done with them.

actually i'm optimistic abt the mainstream thing. for me i feel like i'm having fun. for u it's more cynical. we all have things tt we like or do not like to hear. moreover, not everyone is so willing to give sincere comments, or wanna spend much time thinking abt what they wanna write. not everyone has opinions like u & me, so i guess it's easier to forget abt those comments.

i cant seem to post comments on your chinese blog, so i shall comment it here now. i've decided to make Yunnan one of my most desired tour destination. ;) i can understand how u feel abt YY & why it is saddening. girls such as her are loved by everyone, but i think she is lost & is waiting for someone to take her away.

as for u & me, i agree tt we are much more fortunate. the happiness tt we have, brings no regrets for the future. but our happiness also springs from the amt of time we have, & the closeness between us. for that, i cant love u when u're no longer around. it's too painful, & i'm not so brave.
