没头没尾

2006-03-04T17:39:55Z

我不善于坚持，却很容易习惯。习惯每天清晨一起身就打开冰箱取出两片黑巧克力再加一杯黑咖啡，添饱肚子后才出门。闲暇时，不管是与友人还是独自一人，都一定会到书局逛一逛，再到精品咖啡店享用下午茶。稿纸没了，头发长了，生病了，一定得跑一趟惯用/特定的地方处理这些琐碎的杂事。

都说我很容易习惯了。

习惯了的事，我很难也不愿妥协。所以我不打没把握的战。若不认为能顺顺利利地一直拥有，那我宁可不要开始。关键在于‘顺顺利利’这一词。对我而言，‘顺顺利利’的定义莫过于就算不小心失去了，也能在外头以负担得起的价格，轻易地填补回去。

也不知道自己是否与生俱来就缺乏热忱，还是后天的明白 - 明白自己不善于坚持 - 所以不敢让自己对没把握的事拥有热忱。

日子久了，不知不觉竟忘了什么叫感触。志气和感伤也不知在那儿的路边遗失了。我想这不是件好事吧。最近望着电脑荧光屏时，一点做正经事的自觉都没有。十时至深夜，一直打着Neopets的无聊游戏，灵魂放逐。脑子似因荒废过久，生锈了，麻木了，好像不懂得如何思考了，真叫人担心。

我也不明白导致现状的原因到底是自己的不坚持，还是近期的无谓。总是对他人说，别想太多，life is for living, not second-guessing...（对不起，我想了老半天，但还是翻译不过来，真抱歉！）但回头看了看自己的近况，突然惊觉，杞人虽然忧天，但过得应该比我充实吧！毕竟他有志气，懂得坚持，而最重要的是，他每分每秒都在思考呀！（笑）

月やあらぬ
春や昔の
春やらぬ
わが身ひとつは
もとの身にして？
[古今和歌集]

Moon, are you not the same?
Spring, can it be that you are not
The spring of old,
And I myself the only thing
Remaining as it used to be?

Do you like it? I do, really. I'm sorry, I don't really have anything too constructive to say nowadays - well at least nothing much worth spending bytes of server memory on... (grins) So I picked out a Japanese poem, which I thought was kinda cool instead. ;p

And yeah, my exams have ended!! (laughs) Holidays, we here go again!!!
pls: hilary duff is cute!
pls pls: and I haven't had my coffee yet... arghs!

你是《流星花园》中哪个角色?
F、西门。很有绅士风度的人，可以适应任何环境，从而找到适合自己的位置与角色。这样的你是异性眼中的焦点，经常会被异性的情书邀请围的水泄不通。就是因为这样，在爱情里，你不知道你喜欢什么样的人，也不确定到底什么样的人会是你的最爱。你一直在人与人之间周旋，想给自己找一个答案。这就像西门说的“女人的保质期只有一个礼拜”。虽然感情上的你很浪荡，但是对于朋友，你宁可两肋插刀。小妖建议：很多东西过了保质期却一样很好吃。
http://astro.sina.com.cn/t/2004-09-03/13011.shtml

太好玩了!哈哈，我真的很喜欢做这种问答题。但是，西门是那个那个朱孝天演的对吗？我还蛮喜欢他的角色的，但至于他真人的个性就有点不敢恭维了！哈哈！

谢谢铃木！嘻！

Just for remembrance sake: I've never done so much serious work in my life in such an intense/continuous span of time. In fact, I've only just gotten home 30 mins ago. Doesn't sound much, but you must remember I usually don't study much either and today I actually stepped out of the house at 0815 for this assignment...

Gosh, and now, I have an inane/unbelievably keen sense of translation skills... (grins)

You Are A: Bear Cub!

Bears are strong and independent creatures who roam in the forest in search of food. Bears are usually gentle, but anger one and be prepared for their full fury! You're tough -- a classic attribute of bears. Intelligent and resourceful, though lazy at times, you are a fascinating creature of the wild.

You were almost a: Kitten or a Duck
You are least like a: Pony or a Squirrel What Cute Animal Are You?

Got this from Yvonne! Haha!!! Yay!!! I got my bear cub! Very very happy. Knew there was a point to my vast collection of teddy bears... Hohoho...

Oh, though I think I probably should be feeling somewhat insulted by the list of animals I'm most unlike (if there's such a word). I mean, the inevitable implication has rather got to be that, I'm, um, non-cute, springy and lively??! Oh darn... ;p

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it.
That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power!
The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism.

You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.
Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.
You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you?

You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.
Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.
As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?

edit: and obviously you get why I approve of the below... haha!

You feel most at home in a world of ideas.
You're curious and logical - and enjoy a good intellectual challenge.

this is so random i can't even think of a subject here

2005-09-18T09:15:43Z

Oh god, have you ever had the headache? You know, the kind that comes from staring too hard and too long at the computer screen while playing silly Neopets games merely because you’re a hardcore procrastinator and refuse to go read your notes soft copy as you’re legitimately supposed to do? Oh sheesh, now my eyes are swimming and I’m having panic attacks just thinking about how bad this must be for my failing eyesight. Oh god. Oh god.

Most especially as I’m not Yong-sama and so definitely ain’t gonna start doing the be-spectacled look wherever I go.

God, and did I mention I have no business updating my journal? Not when I’m supposed to be doing ____? Arghs! And I didn’t even want to update my journal!!

Oh I was just lamenting the demise of the college student image I had when I was young. That acquired while watching Gilmore Girls and silly shows a la The OC. Oh oh and an even sillier one – Love Story in Harvard… haha! Edit: I didn’t really watch that show though. Just that its silliness was really apparent - you could sense it just from the first 10 minutes into the show. Faints.

Other than that, I really have nothing of value to add to this entry. (winces) I wonder if one day I’d look back and bemoan my lack of appreciation for my college life? I think I will. I bet I’d weep over the fact that I could have worn Levi’s, tiny tops with sky blue sweaters draped across the shoulders, summery bright sandals that bring back memories of endless days at the beach. Oh and did I mention I don’t really like the beach? But that’s irrelevant. Details are the bane of imagination. ( But is the sustaining life-force behind the work of corporate lawyers. So the moral of the story is: It all depends on your perspective, darling. It all depends...(laughs) Oops, and here I go, adding the state of pretentious-ness to my cache of not-very-few flaws. Oops! )

No?

I wonder if I’d die for the chance to do a Masters someday, in the future. Maybe I look back to the days when I’m still in my early-twenties and wonder, why oh why didn’t I ____? Yes, pardon me, I can’t really predict right now what, in the future, I’d regret I should have done instead of sitting here right now and typing stupid nonsense. (sorry, the last two words in the previous sentence - repetition they are. boo...) Oh oh, who knows, maybe I’d regret not proceeding immediately to do my lecture notes for that subject? ;p

Oops. I may be right, you know, I may be right.

Well then, while I can still help myself, let’s stop this nonsense and get back to work.

Sorry for the above, guys. I’d cut it and hopefully add an accurate enough description of this nonsense so as to deter anyone from accidentally clicking on it and subjecting oneself to this time-wasting endeavour. Still, if you’re already at this paragraph, I... er, am really appreciative. (laughs) I’d empathise with you if you’re in an escapist mood now too. Take care and try not to screw up your eyesight surfing random sites too, k?

Disclaimer: The above are totally of my own personal feelings and are not meant to imply expressly or implicitly anything about anything. Edit: Yeah well, I know this won’t pass muster in any legal course, not even Contracts 101, but then again, this is just a silly entry! Remember? (grins)

i've been tagged...

2005-09-01T15:49:38Z

Hallo dear Suzuki-san! Haha, I got your tag. Thanks... ;p Hope you’re doing fine. Haven’t heard from the rest of the guys for a long while too either. Take care and hope to see ‘ya soon! (oh and btw? I saw the article you did on the students’ attire in the papers the other day! well done! big grin)

List three random facts about yourself that your friends might not know.
1. I have in my CD cabinet two very professional looking Basic Korean Language cd (level 1 and 2 respectively). I swear, even I didn’t know about their existence till a minute or so ago.

Gawd.

Oh pls: please leave a note if you want to borrow it. Er, yes, ‘cause I really don’t think it’s gonna be utilized much if left in my possession. Sigh… Oh and if anybody wants any recent Japanese dramas etc, please leave a note too. I have Engine, Last Christmas etc etc. Oh yes, and apparently, from next week on, I’d be the proud owner of HK drama dvds too. ‘Cause my dear sister ran out of things to buy in Shanghai last weekend. In her words: “Boh pian. I’ve already gotten all the Korean and Japanese dramas already.”

2. I haven’t been studying much lately. Am spending bulk of my time obsessing over my health or the lackthereof. Yeah, I’m a closet hypochondriac. ;p Haha!

3. Last one. I wish I had an apartment/hotel room/house of my own in a country not my homeland. Em. Yes, please. Dunno the exact reason really. Just because. Hoho!

i think i'm happily relieved

2005-08-05T21:01:12Z

Bon Jovi is blasting at my ears (yeah fine, I admit, I belong to the 1980s era... haha!) and finally,

I'm done with the ylp work!! :)

(big lovely grin)

Hoho, life is good! Had a brilliant time out at the movies with Yvonne and SB earlier today too! Hee, really love wasting time with you guys while drinking Nestea at our usual canteen. Haha... (oops, forgot to say that Willy Wonka is really quite good too! hee!)

Well then, have a nice weekend everybody! :D

the grand master of time wasting

2005-08-01T20:47:08Z

So. I’m sitting in front of the computer at the grand decent hour of 0417 staring at my darling Microsoft Word. And it’s not like semester has already started or anything like that. Ahha. The vagaries of life. Okay, fine, the vagaries of me then. (laughs)

Yeah well, not like I'm doing anything important. Unless, of course, you deem the following to be of any degree of importance:
1. Reading bloody synopsis of Gilmore Girls (season 4). Darn waste of time considering I’m so out of love with silly Rory and her Yale/blonde-boys concerns.
2. Staying awake so that my much-anticipated breakfast would seem more within reach than if I were to sleep at 0000hours.
3. Pushing back the inevitable, i.e. doing footnotes for darling ylp’s chapter on the extremely scintillating import and export regulations.
4. Having the vague idea that if I stay up late enough, I may be able to convince myself to go to the gym 5 hours later.
5. Ironed my clothes!! Woohoo!® Possibly the only important-able thing on this list. (You must understand, my mother severely dislikes me for never ever doing my share of the housework.)
6. Messaging my friend to let her know I’d meet her for cakes later in the afternoon. Well, granted, the cakes are very nice.
7. Attempting to put some order to my finances. Or the lackthereof really.
8. Letting the fuji apple I just consumed at 0316hours digest before I flopped belly down onto my bed.

And lastly, this – (before I cart myself to bed) the only really meaningful input in this entire entry (and but of course the one meaningful input in this entry has got to be a quote for someone else other than I – ahhaha!)
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." – Dalai Lama

This is what I mean when I say I do believe. I don’t know exactly what it’s called (or even if it has a name) but I guess you could call it kindness. (grins)

2005-07-20T07:51:51Z

I haven’t written in a long while now, have I? (smiles) Don’t ask me why. Maybe it’s because there’s not much to tell anyway. Or maybe it’s because I haven’t been thinking much. Thinking seems the wrong word to say. Reflecting… introspecting then. Nowadays I’m actively against the idea of introspection. (laughs)

So. Why am I writing now? ‘Cause I’m presently seated in a big enough room in the firm all by myself. It’s the pupils’ room, see? Big enough for two. Well, usually there’s two of us anyway. But right now it’s just me in the spacious corner office, where in place of walls, I’ve got neat glass windows overlooking the tourist district of Tanjong Pagar. Woohoo. Sounds nice huh. Ha.

‘Tis nice really. Very nice. When I’m here, I’m more or less in a world of my own. Nope, I didn’t think of that cliché phrase myself, k? It was the associates who love using “world of your own” to describe this place.

And I realised I’m perfectly happy staying in a large corner office all by myself, only venturing out to the main office couple of times a day. Gosh. I’m really outright anti-social. I’m no good with people nowadays. Seriously. No. Good.

Happiness. Right now.

But what about later? There are lots of people who have been kind to me outside. You may say it doesn’t matter. But it does. They didn’t need to be nice to me. I’m not particularly nice-inducing a person, you know? I don’t idle chat; I don’t look up – not unless you call my name and hence force me to; I don’t smile to people whom I should – though I do smile plenty at people whom I needn’t. But I want to, you see? I only want to smile at people whom I needn’t. Those whom I should, I refuse. ‘Cause I don’t want to.

And I dread the day when I have to. Smile at people because I should though I don’t want to.

You’re right, really. I don’t want to grow up. I’m not grown up. Not at all. I can’t function the way grown ups do. Don’t just put it down to denial. I’m not, really. I’m not denying I ought to be grown up; I can’t attain the status of grown up.

Gawd. What sort of conversation is this, really? Hoho.

If I ever do grow up, I hope I’d be a kind person grown up. I really really do.

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is 100%. You are not suited for a monogamous relationship.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

It was well and good doing this test. I was happily laughing at my 1st trait: I do not lack for fashion sense?! You've gonna be kidding... Oh, and then hoho, 'cause I guess this really brings out the shallowness in me huh...

Then absolutely nothing went on in my mind... till I switched back to Yvonne's and LY's quiz results to compare. ...

And it was like Ohmygawd... Where's my wealthy/ambitious trait? Argh! You mean it's ranked 8th?! Out of a bloody ten?? Ohmyholygoodness, I'm sooo screwed... Trails off to contemplate how she's gonna sustain her wants and needs in the future. Drats.

On a sidenote: Today's the day of my Diana Krall's concert! Awww shucks, I hate this... If I don't (and yes, I'm not.) make it for her concert today, I'd probably have to wait another 2 more years or something... drats drats drats.

lovely wet monday morning

2005-03-28T01:37:13Z

It’s 9.27 in the morning and I’m still in my favourite bathrobe (er yes, but of course it’s one of those hotel freebies; those are the best kind, don’t you think?) (laughs). I'm in a really good mood and the hi-fi is blasting Diana Krall way too loud for anything really serious to get into my brains. (yawns) I really should get my ass up and complete this stack of notes before clocking in at school later.

But I’m not. Getting my ass up, I mean.

Ah hell. I’d be fine. Doing last minute desperate work really is my forte anyway.

(yawns, sloths off and wonders what on earth is wrong with the hotmail server today anyway?)

apartment to myself

2005-03-27T02:51:17Z

Thursday 24.3.2005
9pm: Mad jiggle round the house. Slipped on shoes and stepped out of the house. Felt weirdly proud when proceeding to ensure that door to apartment was properly locked.

9.30pm: Popped by the hypermart to get 1.5l bottle of Coke Light, then made a mad dash up to the 3rd storey of the mall for the bookstore. Oh good! Store not closed yet. Grabbed a trashy novel, paid for it and got accosted by a lady from some beauty salon outside the store. She asked if I were 21. Oh no! Do I really look that old when I tie up my hair? Drats. Disclaimer: I may be 21, but usually I always look 19, k!

10.30pm: Washed the dirty dishes, dumped the garbage and sat down in front of tv to enjoy my book. Oh goody! The free horoscope bookmark (comes with the novel) is finally for Geminis! Yay! Am inordinately pleased after all the Caparicon/Scorpio bookmarks I got. Hoho!

2am: Slept. Oh right, set my alarm clock for 6.50am. Need to wake up earlier to send my friend off at the airport.

Friday 25.3.2005

6.50am: Woke up all groggy and very extremely disoriented. Gosh, I really must be getting old. Good, just nice for my appointment later!

(2 minutes later)

7.52am: Ohmygod!! You mean it’s 7 and not 6??!! Panics and freaks. Brushed teeth and got dressed in record time. Dumped keys, wallet and phone into bag and out the door I go! Late late late!

8.02am: Lock the door, lock the door!

8.03am: Frenzied 800m sprint to the train station. No joke. All the uneven terrain and all. Comon, I have to go through at least one overhead bridge, k! While huffing and puffing up the stairs, decided I’m really too old for this sort of thing.

9.05am: Reached the airport. Woohoo! I am good!! No kidding, really. I live right on the other side of the country, k? Granted it’s a really small country, but still! I took public transport! (definition of public transport: all vehicles except private cars and cabs)

Had a brilliant time with my friends at the airport. Great food and really cute traditional teahouses nowadays! Sigh... I wanna fly off somewhere too!

Lovely day all in all. Managed to watch the last few episodes of the last season of Sex and the City too. Really ought to hurry with my schoolwork though. Oh drats, I’d think about that later.

tsh @ 2005-03-15T21:30:00

2005-03-15T14:10:22Z

Hoho, the following is so darn cool I can’t believe it, so I’m actually writing a post to accompany it. Just so this entry’d have something other than the moodring itself. Haha! ;p

Um let’s see. What’s new with my life? Not much really. Things that stayed the same:
1. I still love the font Verdana.
2. I still haven’t cut my hair yet. Nah, it’s not ‘cause I’m intending to keep it long, just that my hairstylist has gone on maternity leave and I’m too filled with inertia to actively search for someone else. (grins)
3. I still have mood swings. I still intensely dislike certain stuff and occasionally, I ask myself why I don’t seem to be as happy as objectively, I know I should be.
4. Then I realise it really doesn’t matter. ;p
5. I still like coffee. A lot.
6. I still love my friends. A lot too! :)
7. I still like walking through Holland V and Chip Bee Gardens in the late afternoon after coffee. It’s nice. In a very lethargic way. Not recommended for regular use, but occasionally – just occasionally, mind you – it’s nice to re-visit those 18 year old days and pretend. Sigh.

Things I discovered:
1. Takenouchi is seriously good in 人間の証明. I absolutely love that show. Love its plot, atmosphere, solemnity, everything!
2. Korean dramas have a tendency to make me mildly depressed. A kind of “why should things matter then?” phenomenon.
3. I really need to go for a self-pampering spree. You know what I’m talking about. A buy some shoes, do my hair, kill myself at a spa, mass splurge at gap/mango/wherever.
4. Suddenly? I like my work. Ha!
5. I can’t access Friendster. Everytime I attempt to do so, my IE freaks out on me and proclaims a worldwide disaster error. Er, that’s the reason why I can’t go check out in personam Yvonne’s claim of testimonials being lingustic crap nowadays.
6. My eldest sis and I are such escapists!! Haha, yay!! :) We’ve decided, escapist is the word of the month. Hoho!

Things I intensely dislike:
… Um there are probably quite a lot of things which should fit under this category but as of right now, I can’t really think of any. Except that certain inanimate object which has spikes on its head. And I can’t say I intensely dislike it either, so … better not type it down on my list then. ;p And I really want to accumulate good karma, so I’m bloody well gonna make sure I shut up when I should. Heh.

I have a serious impulse to go shopping and buy something green. Maybe something along the lines of that green top Yvonne posted a couple days back? ;p Haha, that’d be so darn funny. My second sis will probably flip and freak on me. And I suddenly have this impulse to tag along with my sisters when they fly off to Tokyo again this week. Wandering around aimlessly in blistering cold weather suddenly inexplicably appeals. Or maybe I could tag along my eldest sis when she goes down to France in April.

Oh god. I really am good at complaining and whining. (severely cringes) Look at the load of trash I’ve written! Arghs!

I’m sorry? :)

tsh is emotionally distant.

I bet no one's surprised that you never post your current mood. In fact, I bet most of your friends are so sick of you locking them out of your life that they hate you behind your back. Shame.

In the mood for peppermint

2005-01-23T17:36:46Z

It’s one in the morning and I’m sitting in front of the computer, typing this entry in Lucida Handwriting font. It’s seems appropriate somehow, given that I’m drinking Twinings peppermint tea. I meant to get London Tea Company, but amazingly, it appears the hypermart doesn’t stock it.

Now what was I planning to complain about? Oh yeah, I remember now. Kinda hard to overlook it, considering that the source of my frustration is pretty much littered around me.

Yeah, you guessed it. I have way too much stuff in my house now. Way too many carton boxes, shoe boxes, dirty overnighters, unironed/ to be ironed clothes, small bags too worn and dirty to be brought out, junk food, cds, vcds, dvds… And the list goes on. Things I don’t have: a fully functioning computer, any form of functional laptop, a non-flickering TV set (ok, fine, I do have one of those, but it has been delegated to the storeroom and replaced by a semi-huge and expensive one which flickers. The second adjective used to describe the replacement also explains why I can’t go back to using the original.). And of course, most importantly, I’d like a broom please. Yeah, you heard correctly. A broom. Just a normal kind, not a Firebolt, or any of that sort. The type you use to sweep dust and miscellaneous stuff up with. I need a broom.

Can’t find one.

I’ve got five thousand and one types of coffee, coffee maker, tea, trays, saucers, cups, stirrers, everything. No broom though.

Oh and by the way, I haven’t read a single word of my notes, not once since the start of school semester two weeks back. And I’ve still got to tidy up the remnants of the Korean study trip. Regardless, I’ve got to say it was plenty satisfying now that it’s over. I’m glad we made it through and, quite darn good too! Finally, a use of the exclamation mark in my entry.

What do people do with bags too dirty to regain their colour regardless of washing anyway? While I’m at it, what do people do with clothes they sincerely don’t think they’d wear but cost too much to throw away without feeling bad? And why do I always wear the same stuff and use the same accessories when clearly, I’ve got more than a wardrobe full of stuff? Yeah, the stuff has overflowed to three wardrobes full, covered the queen sized bed (er, sorry Sis!), taken up bulk of the floor space in front of my cabinet, and some presently languishing under the moonlight on my balcony.

‘Cause they’d either ugly (i.e. my eldest sis’ stuff), too office wear (i.e. the passable stuff from my eldest sis’ stuff), too small (but very nice – from my second sis), not summer season (but once again very nice – from my second sis), not of slimming effect. Sigh. What happened to a neat and tidy life?

We need a warehouse.

Failing which, could we acquire a city view studio apartment please?

You are a RAVENCLAW!

As a Ravenclaw and as an NTP, you are intellectual,
independent, and value excellence in yourself
and in those around you. You have a strong
sense of curiosity, and in general can see many
aspects of a single issue or debate. You have
a strong drive to acquire knowledge and set
very high standards for yourself and those
around you. You enjoy being challenged, and
can accept constructive criticism without
taking it personally. You are probably at
least somewhat unconventional, and will not
usually follow authority for its own sake;
instead, you will consider the issue at hand
and make a decision for yourself.

I came today with the best intentions. No, seriously! Heey... what sort of expression is that, anyway?

Hoho, was intending to go down to the gym after morning lessons today, but just totally didn't have time to pack my gym stuff in the morning, so ... yeah. ;p

Remember how I said I was gonna come home and start studying construction? Hoho, best intentions again... :p

Was just thinking that actually, school's fun. =) Kinda like junior high. (laughs)I like the stuff I'm studying, totally love my friends (yeah, yeah, stop being disgusting, Yvonne), CJ Koh Library's kinda posh (haha!), like the people I say hi too etc etc... So. Just in case I haven't told you, you guys rock. =) Heh, think will really miss you guys next sem when all of us are doing different things (finally! haha!). Will miss you guys during pupilage too... I guess we probably won't be going to the same firm, right? ... Oh gross... Between, I really love WJY too... Hoho, yeah I know, SB said she got the point already right? Tsk, but just wanted to emphasis that, cannot is it? (laughs)

By the way, thanks Yvonne, for helping me get those IP stuff so we could have lunch together! Hoho, really missed eating together and talking crap. :p Thanks darling!

Anyway. Good luck for your exams! Oh, and LY? =) You take care over there! Bundle up and stay warm over the winter, k?

You are always wilful and most of the time, you are a stubborn person. But you love to work and are quite honest, which makes you good to get along with as a friend or lover. You love the good life. You live extravagantly and like everything around you to be beautifully crafted. You are optimistic, have an excellent sense of humor and enjoy having your friends around you. You are logical, smart and inventive. Sometimes you are too cold and selfish.

Um, ok, I know I haven’t written for a veerry long time, but seriously. This will just be a really short thing.

Er, so. Just now, when I was lying on my bed reading Jayne Ann Krentz’s latest novel and finally getting a guilt deluge ‘cause I so haven’t started on my essay yet, this sudden thought just popped into my mind:

Aah, what the hell. I mean even Dallas – the world’s most dedicated fiction-cop – has sex with Roarke when she needs a break, what’s my reading of crap novels every-once-in-a-while-when-I-so-absolutely-have-no-time-for-this? I mean, both take about the same amount of time anyway...

Yeah. That was when I went “??!” Sometimes, even I am killed by what goes on in my mind. Ha! =)
