On being Big Brother
Sometimes, I wonder who's taking care of who. Sometimes I feel like it's my ickle sister, Lystra, that's watching out for me, protecting me from my somewhat naive way of thinking. I'm too nice, I'm too passive and I think give in too easy. I'm a walking doormat sometimes.
Strange thing is, I can look intimidating. My sis always mentions how some guys trying to court her are somewhat intimidated by me I guess. But I always brush it off increduously. I'm not mean! I try to avoid conflict! I'm practically a frick'n hippie. I just don't like physically hurting people.
But still, sometimes I feel inadequate in protecting her. Not just physically, but in other things as well. She tells guys to get off my back. I think I try to protect her, but well... I'm not really verbal about it. I try giving mean stares but I think it comes off like I'm squinting at them. Terrible at intimidation I am.
I would like to think I'd get in there if she gets physically threatened though. Give me something physical and I could deal with it. It's the touchy feely verbal stuff that I have problems with. I think I would have liked to have dealt with that !@#$ physically though. But eh, the consequences suck.
Oh, and she wanted me to mention this in my blog. <singligh> Why har, she har, keep changing boys har? She har, damn mafan lor.</singlish>

Hmm, can't comment on the post after this one. I wonder why. Anyway...
Sheep. ;p
(But it was a /nice/ survey, as surveys go.)
I wouldn't worry too much about the protecting thing if I were you. Just be aware and assertive and stuff. Sisters can take care of themselves, but sometimes it's really nice to be taken care of, too.

bwah! i rock mundo ass cause my name is mentioned! muahahaha...anyhohows, you seriously need to get more physical. being physical doesn't require you to actually beat someone up. it can come in the form of intimidating and not just squinting. you squint too much, it makes your eyes disappear. muahahahahahaha...
but i went through more than you, so maybe that's why i'm more vocal when it comes to these things. but ur still my big bro and i still feel protected whenever i'm with ya. uber-cool really. bwah! me lab you. hahaha
