I'm Going to Cut Myself...!

It was a video on YouTube somebody made to poke fun at the Emo people. In my opinion it's just some new fad similiar to Goth and Punk. But Emo has less angst and as the word puts it, emotional in expression, in every aspect.

While I was in my own "emo" phase ie being emotional about things that had happened to me lately, out of curiosity I Googled on Emo. Firstly, I checked my EI or EW - Emotional Intelligence or Emotional Quotient. I did a test and my level of EI was only 92 out of 155. That is equivalent to 59.35% scale of being called "emo". And I thought I needed counselling already for my inability to control my emotions well.

Then I found a few websites on the Emo concept - music and fashion as well as overall behaviours of people who are into the Emo scene. Something for you curious people out there who want to know more about how a group of people have used an abbreviated word used to describe a person's feeling, into something bigger and the creation of a subculture. Evidently, I'm not "emo" enough to be considered an Emo Kid. So, I'm quite normal.

While you enjoy the read, I'll go back to self-bitching about my idiosyncracies, my lack of confidence and the insecurities in my life.

Really?! Hmm...but that's one way of looking at it I guess hehe.

But of course it can't be a total justification to make myself better until I do something about it. It's funny but I'm already feeling the early mid-life crisis LOL!

NoOooOOoooo....
