"Thou Shalt Not Swear" ...STFU.
Swearing. Cussing. I don't know, there are more words to describe this "forbidden" act, and well, I don't like to swear much, especially on the internet. If I do swear, it's because I was EXTREMELY emotional at that time, or want to GREATLY exaggerate something, however that's about it. Somethings I accidentally swear in front of my best friend (like instead of 'stuff' I say 'sh-t'.) And I realize it too late, so I instead say it anyway, but the word's volume goes down. My cuss was but a squeak. Yet, I don't like it when other people swear. And I don't mean in real life, since I have a friend who swears all the time. I mean on the internet.
Now I don't mind if they do it occasionally, but there are those who swear all the time, when they don't need to, even. I especially hate how people use swear words to compliment something. I mean it really doesn't sound like they're actually complimenting it, it sounds like they're insulting what they were complimenting to begin with. Like for example, you describe this beautiful sexy beast of a woman you know, "One hot b-tch". Now, first of all, "b-tch" is commonly used to describe those who's personalities are snobbish or selfish or such, but I wouldn't use it in a compliment at all. This is what particularly pisses me off. Other samples include "good sh-t" or "f-ck" in anyway whatsoever. I mean if someone describes their love to an Anime character using the word 'f-ck', I am generally uncomfortable with that. A good example is, "I SO BADLY f-cken LOVE THIS PIECE OF GOOD SH-T because HE IS ONE HOT B-TCH!!!!" And I'm not ranting out of nowhere either, I've seen this in several conversations, groupings with guys, and my LJ friend's journals.
I'm not telling them to stop, no, they can continue all they want. I've told myself before, if I don't want to read swear words online, don't read the document that contains it, at all. However when they throw the swear word in a SUBJECT TITLE or scream it out in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS, it's kind of hard to ignore, y'know? ^^ Same in real life, using swear words to compliment something, now I don't care if someone uses it in a frustrated way. I don't even care if they randomly use it out of nowhere, but for some reason I don't find intended compliments that contain swear words really a compliment at all.
However, I am not against cussing, in fact today, my very potty mouthed friend was a little pissed and was arguing with my other friend that the dog tags were 5 bucks and not 2 bucks, she then went, "The f-cking sign f-cking says 5--" and then two teachers coming out of the English classroom next to us while we were eating lunch heard us. I didn't know who one of them was, but the other one was the Drama Teacher and my old French teacher. The same drama teacher who held a play a few weeks ago, where I clearly remember there was one swear word in it. Now, the Drama teacher only stood there, watching, but her expression looked shocked and angry. The other teacher was MUCH worse, she went, "excuse me?" in by far the stupidiest, b-tchiest manner that I've ever seen.
What is the point of free speech, if people can't really speak in how they want to? Now I may be a little hypocritical here, but the word, "fag" greatly offends me because I am one of those who love shounen-ai/shoujo-ai, and think it's awesome. Also, seeing as 'fag', similar to 'motherf-cker' aren't used as often as say sh-t, f-ck, b-tch, or even bastard. (Yes I don't think that one needs to be censored, lol) So obviously they seem more offensive. Now I'm not angry if someone says fag, because often they aren't homophobic (but at times are, and those who use it to describe a gay or bi person is LOW) but only use it since it's like a fad. If others use it, it seems cool, they start using it. A little careless I admit. However, the person who truly should be punished because of the word 'fag' is the one who used it to describe a homosexual. When originally, 'fag-ot', was just a bundle of sticks.
So what I'm saying is, swear words never originally meant to be a 'bad' word. Bastard means an illegitimate child, and b-tch is a female dog. When people seem offended when one says it...it just becomes extremely hypocritical. They believe in free speech, and people should NOT have a problem with the way one speaks. It's who we are, I speak with a slight accent. There was this teacher who I never heard of in 6th grade who tried to correct my speaking problem (basically the inability to pronounce th and f differently, and r and w differently) I never bothered to actually practice (as I was told to) to fix my speech pattern. It's still here with me, I think I'm beginning to speak my r's better because I'm learning Japanese, but otherwise I like how I talk.
When that woman of a teacher told my friend not to swear, my friend was like, "Oh, I'M SORRY." She didn't mean it in a very 'apologetic' way, and I agree, why the hell does she need to apologize? It's a free country you dumbass woman. The teacher replied, "you didn't sound very sorry from that tone!" In the stupidest and most downright snobby voice I've ever heard. Then my friend defended herself, "Do you have a problem with the way I SPEAK?!" Then the teacher told her to come to her and they lectured a bit. I mean seriously, I understand parents not letting young children know the swear words, because then they blab it out in public, everybody looks at the mother and think, "omg what a bad influence". Not letting children know is to avoid embarrassment, but hello? We're almost adults now, we aren't babies anymore. Let us talk how we want!
There was this incident a while ago, where my cousin said "WTF" in an MSN conversation, and some of his family caught him. Now he only said WTF, ONLY THE ACRONYM. He got into a WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE from it. FROM THE GOD DAMNED ACRONYM. That's not even literally SWEARING, for heaven's sake! Then one day in his house, his brother said to me, "And you better not swear too!" Do you know how much respect he lost from me just because of that damned line? I didn't swear at all, and he goes and does that. It's incredibly stupid. I really hate how people can't accept swearing, since it's just stupid SOUNDS IN A LANGUAGE. I don't remember a "thou shalt not swear" in the Bible! THEY WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE OFFENDING WORDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. These 'forbidden' words are used incredibly commonly too, why can't the idiot adults just let it go? They're always BITCHY about it, but swearing never dies down.
I have two goody-good friends who never swear, but they don't really care when others do. It's just like being a vegetarian, trying to be 0% racist, etc. It's an impossible thing to do, stereotyping will always exist, we will always eat meat. Yet the vegetarians or extremely anti-racist people can go ahead and do what they want, nobody is stopping them. As long as they try not to force others. I'm not racist either, it's just that I know it's impossible to not stereotype the Chinese to be good at math, or he whites as snobby rich people. It's everyday life, however most people do not really mean to offend anybody, and that's good enough.
Secondly, my dead grandmother is an idiot. She had like 10 children and disowned 6 of them, my dad was the youngest. The oldest is my aunt, and I have one uncle and my father. My other uncle died sometime before my father was born. All the children she disowned were girls, and you very well know the whole dilemma about too many guys in China right now because of the idiots in the past dumping girls everywhere. It's idiotic...stupid...really. *sigh*
OKAY! I WILL CONTINUE MY FARM STORY, HAPPY FARM FRIENDS! =DDDDDDD
A scream of a certain net idol was heard throughout the farm. Chisame jumped out of her room, clad in cosplay gear as she chased the cat throughout the house. The fleeing kitty jumped out of a window and landed on the ground on her own two feet. The cat was startled when even Chisame jumped out the window as well. The owner of the farm was not particularly happy that day and seemed to want to dish out her explosive anger on the cat.
It was early morning when Chisame burst out in rage towards the little kitty. As Ku Fei ran through the farm and into the barn, Kazumi had just woken up from her nest. She and Ako slept in the same nest, and Konoka and Setsuna, being wild animals, would be in a tree nearby. Ako was still peacefully sleeping that morning. The chick was up late at night mysteriously running ‘an errand’. There were several moos to be heard throughout the farm, despite there only being one cow. The sun had only started rising when the ruckus broke out.
“YOU DAMNED CAT! GIVE ME BACK MY CAMERA!” The girl yelled as she attempted to pounce on the runaway feline.
The striped orange cat suddenly ran into a pile of haystacks, not looking where she was going. Soon, a larger figure jumped into the thick yellow rectangles that usually line the floors of the barn. Several meows could be heard from the clump of hay, since the little scrim that followed caused the neat stacks of hay to tumble over. Chisame emerged from the mess, furiously holding the cat by its tail. She grabbed the camera in a swift and rude move, and then dropped the cat back into the pile of hay. Her outfit consisted of numerous sticks of hay protruding from it.
Ku Fei poked her head out of the pile of straw.
“Awww…” she mumbled.
Ako walked up to the tumbled-over haystack, inspecting the mess in curiosity, “I wonder if we can make a sandcastle with that!”
”A sandcastle?” Chizuru repeated, who had just poked her head out of the stable.
“Yeah! A sandcastle is yellow! Hay is yellow! I always wanted to make a sandcastle after I saw one on the big picture thing outside!”
”…big picture thing?” Chizuru looked out the window and there was indeed a ‘big picture thing’ there. Actually, it was a poster on a truck that was advertising a vacation to a place with a great amount of sand. It was actually a beach on an island south of
As Chisame was stomping back into her room full of net-idol goodness, she also noticed the poster on the truck, and then realized that she had not gotten photos of herself during a vacation yet. Nodding, the girl walked into her room and slammed the door shut. Minutes later, Chisame came out with a huge luggage bag and several pieces of equipment. She walked out the door and looked around.
“…oh right…I don’t have money…damnit!”
There was a bit of silence, as if the animals themselves were waiting for Chisame to say something. Finally, she found an idea that had been closer than she had thought.
“The local beach!”
The girl with the double-life ran towards the road and called a taxi using the greatest technology that was around today, a cup with a string attached to it. In a matter of seconds, a carriage pulled by two mighty oxen arrived, and Chisame jumped in.
”Hey! Where’s the human girl going? She didn’t feed us yet!” Kazumi shouted as she noticed Chisame disappear into the distance.
Ako asked, “Can we follow her? Please?”
”First of all, we don’t know where she went, secondly, if we did, she’s too far away, and third, what if we get lost and get eaten by bears and leopards or something!? Then they grind our bones for soup and pluck our feathers to fly themselves!? We’d be dead! Long dead!” Kazumi suddenly flapped her wings open, to further emphasize her last point.
“Eeep!” Ako covered her mouth with her own stubby wings, tears almost started to fill her eyes.
“Kazumi, why are you scaring Ako like that?” Setsuna said abruptly behind them, startling them.
Kazumi replied, “I am only telling the truth, for the truth is almighty.”
”Mama! What are bears and leopards!?” Ako cried, “are they scary and big with claws and eat little chicks like me!?”
Setsuna hesitated, “Erm…even if they do, I shall protect you…and ojou-sama…>>”
”You mean oneechan is right about the scary big animals!?” Ako started to run around in circles. She was screaming in fear.
“Kazumi, you caused this. I’ll leave you to fix this,” Setsuna sighed, “I need to go back to the tree…”
Kazumi crossed her wings, “Alright then! We’ll follow the girl to wherever she’s going! If we bump into bears and leopards, we will learn from experience!”
”Hold on a minute! You two are merely two small birds!” Setsuna suddenly said.
“You told me to fix it, and I am. I will let Ako face her fears. Besides, I’ve seen a leopard, they’re not that bad…”
”What!? Oneechan did!? Since when!?”
”Um…yesterday.”
”And…it didn’t eat you?” The curiosity of Ako piqued.
“Hm, that’s because Ku Fei stopped it…that’s it!” Kazumi pointed her wing to the sky, “I’ll ask Ku Fei to come along to protect us!”
”Yay! We can follow the girl!” Ako clapped her…wings.
Setsuna ran in front of them before they could head to Ku Fei, “Are you listening to what you’re saying!? Ku Fei is only a house cat; she can’t protect you from everything. Also, why would she want to? How can you trust her so quickly?”
”Then why don’t you come and protect us?” Kazumi suggested.
Ako cheered, “Yay! Mama is coming!”
”No, I must stay and protect ojou-sama. It was a duty entrusted by—“
”Oh blahblahblah, let’s just drag Konoka along too! It’ll be fun!” Kazumi ran off towards the tree. Seconds later, Konoka arrived with Kazumi back to the other birds, and the koala was already excited for this trip.
Ako yelled, “Yay! A FAMILY TRIP!”
“We’re not a family!” Setsuna objected, but she noticed the koala grinning with excitement.
”We’re going on a family trip! Me, our two daughters, Ako and Kazumi, and my wife, Secchan are going on a family trip!” Konoka announced to the farm.
Setsuna quickly shouted out, “N-no! Ojou-sama is not my…m-my wife!”
”That’s right! I’m your husband! Heehee!”
”N-no…uh, and f-for that matter, Kazumi is NOT my child!”
”Gee, that’s not very nice, disowning your own daughter!” Kazumi said.
The other farm animals and wild animals heard Konoka’s announcement and all gathered around the ‘family’.
“Ooh! A trip! Can I come too?” Haruna asked as she whipped her flippers back and forth.
Yue grumbled, “Isn’t that a little intrusive? After all, they said family trip. Besides, we still need to bond with that seal, since you still have a phobia to Nodoka.”
”I do not! Paru does not fear seals!”
”Then you’ll stay and we’ll have a picnic or something,” Yue continued.
Natsumi was eager to go as well, “I want to go too!”
”Natsumi-chan,” Chizuru started, “as much as going would be fun, you promised yourself to guard your little sunflower seed stash as long as possible. I will also not be going, simply because I’m a cow and would rather stay here, to act as a mother for all the unattended mothers!”
Suddenly, the house cat appeared out of nowhere and approached the other animals, which all went silent as if the cat had higher authority.
“Then I’m going-aru!”
”What? Why!?” Kazumi demanded, not particularly happy.
The kitty-cat stroked Kazumi with her tail, “We had a deal. If I don’t eat you, you will comply with any conditions I set. One is getting some of that delicious—“
”…nikuman, we get your point.”
”Exactly! Now that woman who just ran off without feeding her animals was packing some in a picnic basket! She wouldn’t give me one, that’s why I stole that rectangle thing that makes a flashy light she likes to use-arune!”
“Okay, but will you protect us from bears and leopards?”
”Sure, why not-aruyo.”
”Okay! We should get going now! The girl went that direction, so we shall go forth onto that direction! Ako-chan, obaasan Ku Fei here will protect us!” Kazumi said.
“Obaasan…is not a name I would like to be called-aru…” Ku Fei stated, “if you really want me to protect you, you will call me by the name of ‘Nikuman-sama’!”
Kazumi laughed, “No. I’ll call you Kuu.”
”Fine-aru.”
Setsuna flew into the air, hoisting Konoka in her talons with Ako riding on her back. Ku Fei had actually surprisingly offered to let them ride on her back, but Setsuna still did not trust the dastardly kitty, and offered to fly Konoka to wherever Chisame had gone. Konoka then insisted that Setsuna let Ako ride on her as well, to see what it was like in the air. The crane denied Kazumi access to the flight, though.
“Have fun! We’ll take care of things here!” Chizuru called as the family plus a cat started disappearing into the distance. Konoka was still waving good bye even after the farm was out of sight.
Kazumi and Ku Fei were on the ground running, since Ku Fei also denied Kazumi access for a ride. Even so, it was not needed since the loud canary was an extremely fast sprinter. She and Ku Fei were going at about the same pace.
Several hours later, the sun was setting, and Setsuna was incredibly tired. She was still too stubborn to let Ku Fei, who had not fatigued at all, carry them towards wherever Chisame had gone. Little did the striped cat know, Kazumi had gotten tired long before the sunset, and had clung onto Ku Fei’s tail as they ran in one general direction.
“You know I’m starting to think this was a stupid idea. The girl could’ve turned, and all we’re doing is going in one direction!” Setsuna complained.
Konoka giggled, “I think it’s fun! Plenty of good family-time!”
”For the l-last time, o-ojou-sama…”
”I hope the legendary demon of the night doesn’t get us!” Konoka smiled.
Kazumi looked up at the koala, “Eh? Demon of the night?”
”Oh, just something Paru-chan told me a while back! There’s this evil bunny rabbit—“
“I’m pretty sure it’s just called a rabbit-aru,” Ku Fei interrupted.
Ako shouted, “But bunny sounds cuter! It must be a bunny!”
”No-arune! It’s called a rabbit!”
”But a rabbit sounds boring! A bunny would make much more sense, and—“
”Yeah, but ‘bunny’ is just a cutesy name for rabbit, aruyo.” The cat nodded in agreement with herself.
“Why can’t bunny be the official name of it?” Kazumi asked, also agreeing with Ako.
”No, it’s a rabbit-aruyo!!”
”Bunny!”
”Rabbit!”
”Bunny!”
”Rabbit!”
Konoka laughed, “We’ll just call it a bunny rabbit! So there’s an evil black bunny rabbit who comes out on full moons with an army of wolves!”
”Erm, o-ojou-sama, I never heard of wolves taking orders from a rabbit. Don’t wolves eat rabbits?”
”The wolves follow the bunny rabbit’s command because it is evil! Anyway, Paru-chan said it comes out at a full moon and attacks all animals not asleep then, and when it does, you become…ONE OF THEM!” Konoka suddenly made a scary face, which even scared Setsuna, almost causing her to crash into a tree.
”O-ojou-sama!”
Kazumi gasped, “One of…them!?”
”Yep! One of them!”
”I’m scared, Mama!” Ako sunk into the feathers of the flying crane.
Ku Fei kept a solemn face, “What’s a ‘one of them’-aruka?”
”Paru-chan didn’t know herself, but if you do become one of them, you can never turn back to the you of before!” Konoka continued.
The sun had already set, and the party of animals going in one general direction were silent. Setsuna wasn’t quite sure though, since Haruna always talked about stories like these. She always wondered where that penguin got her odd tales. Then again, it would be weird for a penguin to not be in a cold climate, which this area certainly wasn’t one. The crane looked up at stars and noticed the moon. It was coincidentally full and mysteriously red. This was the first time she had ever seen this.
There was a long howl as the animals continued towards the horizon. A silhouette of a small animal appeared near a colony of rocks down near a trench. Its ears were long…its tail was puffy…and the shape of a carrot could barely be identifiable.
“Master…it’s a red moon out.”
”Yes…an ideal time to find some victims…” A ‘slurp’ sound could’ve been heard from the distance.
“Yes, master.”
Yes, I am aware that Ku Fei is excessively OOC. The point is, her OOC-self will soon develop into the Ku Fei we all love and know!
Baibai.
