I beg your pardon, but I am different!

Sometimes I wonder if is it a sin to like something different? Different preference of hairstyle, clothing, interests, or even thoughts and understanding/perception.

Lately, ever since I-, no, not lately. How should I say this? For example, I like to keep my hair long. It has been like this ever since, no matter what other people say. Stubborn, maybe, but this is me, this is what I like, so what! You have no idea how I felt when a high school junior came to me and say, 'I know you,' because my long hair made me stand out in the school yearbook. Not that I wanted to show off or anything, but it makes people feeling better when they are different from others. Is that so bad to be different then?

I don't know why people always criticise my preferences. Although, most of you out there don't. Why is it that *you have to scowl or frown when I like things that you don't? Is it so bad that I like boy bands better than single artists? Is it bad that I enjoy reading mangas, comics, fanfictions, and novels? What's wrong in being a fan of Korean, Japanese, or whatever other celebrities? It's not like I'm obsessed with them, I simply wanted to share my preference with people I am closest with. And come on, who wouldn't get over excited over things they like!

Some time ago, I had been told a series of time that I have bad taste in music just because that someone don't like my kind of music. Fine. I took those words in the first time. Then, the second. And comes the third, fourth, fifth, and on and on. I mean, give me a break! Is it so wrong that I like DBSK and KAT-TUN, and instead of just BSB or N'Sync?!

Sure, they are Koreans and Japanese and I don't understand they are saying but, hey, at least that will motivate me to learn other languages (P/S: I've always want to learn other languages but rarely motivated). Not to mention, they are really talented!

Okay, never mind that. I'm not here to preach about them, just gotten sidetrack.

In a nutshell, is my taste in music so bad that it is worth talking about? And secondly, what in your guts (or something else) does my preferences had to do with *you?! Step back and stay back! And as much as I hated this phrase, here's it for *you: 'You like, I like'!

(P/S: *you - that someone)
