It has come to my attention that I am a 46 year old pedophilic man. This comes about from having coworkers comment on the calendar in my cube. Yeah, I'm blogging about work. Big taboo, I know. Whatever.
The event took place last weekend, when having a friendly dinner with some coworkers; a female coworker of mine had previously expressed concern about a calendar I have displayed which happens to have pictures of 15-17 year old Japanese girls on it. (Don't take this wrong, but this calendar is not at all pornographic. It's a farking Sailor Moon calendar. I, being a fan of Sailor Moon, love it. Unfortunately, it's the only Sailor Moon calendar that was available this year in lieu of the manga/anime normal Sailor Moon World calendars, which have been proudly hung in my cube (wherever my cube may be) for the past 5 years.) She says that the calendar is strange. Well, maybe not the calendar itself, but me having the calendar up is strange. At the dinner, a completely different coworker (a male this time), asked me about it as well. I calmly explained the above; I may have gotten a little defensive. I really see nothing wrong with the calendar. It's v. v. kawaii. If a different calendar came out with different Sailor Moon stuff on it, I would have that instead of this one. I mean, really.
So I'm really trying to figure out why this calendar is so offensive. Does it make people feel uncomfortable because they think I'm like into little Japanese girls or something? I have other stuff around my cube that lends to the same Japanophile feeling: a Hello Kitty Calendar, a Japanese food calendar (featuring sushi!), some paper fans, some Power Puff Girls hanging from the walls, etc., amongst work-related stuff. I mean, I want my cube to feel like home, you know?
What do you people think?
you're a farking pedophile. it's disgisting.
if only they knew.....
hee.
