In Which I Blurt Random Emotions

Well, it's mostly frustration mixed with hysteria, with a pinch of retrospect, and a dash of fatigue. And a teeny-weeny sprinkling of excitement.

Frustration and hysteria because of the reasons below:
1)Physics Log (4)
2)Physics Log (5)
3)E. Math Circle Geometry Homework
4)I.H. preparation of GRADED ESSAY
5)Language Arts Project (20%) AND Critical Analysis (Also graded)
6)I'm exceptionally SLOW in processing my thoughts during both E and A Math lessons, which means I'll get kicked out of acc math soon.

Retrospect because of the fact that old friends seem to drift further and further apart.
It almost makes me want to stop making friends; the drifting apart hurts more than a broken romance. But thinking back, I don't think I'll be able to live without a friend to bear with my nonsensical rambling and fluctuating moodswings.

Fatigue because I'm tired of everything.
Homework, assignments, tests, competition, hypocrisy. But that's Life.
And so I have to forge my way on.

Excitement because IT'S LABOUR DAY TOMORROW, AND TRAINING'S BEEN CANCELLED=MORE TIME TO FINISH MY HOMEWORK=I CAN SLACK NOW!

Haha, okay. As you can tell, I am whoopsie-doopsie-daisy-doo right now. Shuhui must be rubbing off me. SPASTIC-NESS. Haha.

Over and Out.)

Virginia Tech

It's all over the news.

Somehow, the media attention makes it all seem so superficial.

It always makes things seem that way.

Cold. Bustling. Factual.

Maybe I'm too emotional.

But I do know that that's the way of Society. No strings attached.

And yet I can't bear to dash my romantic fantasy that this world holds consideration for humanly emotions; and that fairytale, never-ending relationships exist.

In this Society, no friendship is genuine and warm.

It is merely the ones with innocence and naivety left in them who forge genuine friendships, be it one-sided or otherwise.

There are some who have already lost their innocence and naivety. They backstab, curry favour, and take advantage.

And so I live Life, hoping, wishing, trusting, that friends remain friends, and that they do not morph into feelingless beings from which Society leeches innocence and naivety.
-------------------------------------

The Three Types of People I can't stand

1) People who are irresponsible, yet ultimately assume major leadership positions
2) People who think that they are popular (with both genders). EGOTISTICAL PRATS.
3) People who assume that they can get away with putting in minimal effort/no effort when doing a group project.

And have I mentioned how I detest people who are UTTERLY FAKE?

Oh. And not forgetting those with ABSOLUTELY NO ORIGINALITY.


Seriously. It gets irritating when you DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING IN RELATION to someone, yet the person just keeps coming up with means to carbon copy an aspect of your individuality.
---------------------------------------------------
I'm getting so confused nowadays. I don't know who I am. I don't understand what I'm trying to feel. Or what I'm feeling.
All I know is that I have colossal amounts of homework, projects, and assignments due. And I have to keep working, or I won't be able to get it all done in time. And then I see those people around me; those who are consistently on their toes, concientiously studying, revising, mugging. And those who don't put in effort in completeing their work, those who aren't attentive in class.

Two completely different attitudes. Yet both ace their graded assignments and tests.

And here I am, unmotivated most of the part, to study or work to the best of my abilities.

For one, I can recognize this feeling: Deflation. Disillusion. Disenchantment.

I used to think that maybe I'd get a sudden inspiration to work suddenly, at full speed, until the June holidays, at least. Then I'd get a chance to pull up my miserable GPA.

As I said: Deflation. Disillusion. Disenchantment.

If only I could return back to childhood's naivety. Things would be so simple then.
--------------------------------------------
Return me that childhood naivete, please.

More Than Words

More than words
Is all you have to do
To make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
'causeI'd already know

So sings Xtreme.

And so I sing, too.

Only, I sing (to the same tune):

More than words
Is what I want to do
To kill you all
Just to chop your *toot* to pieces
All you *toot**toot*
Cos I am really pissed.

ARGGH. STUPID IRRITATING PRICKS.
I'm already Bloody stressed with the LA comprehension, LA analysis-essay test, MI worksheet, A. Math homework, A. Math test. And I still have to make sure that everyone brings their video/multimedia/final product of the cultural mapping thing. Not to mention the NE photography competition. And I still have to do some netball stuff. GAH.

And now, THESE TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE come along and PISS THE BLOODY *TOOT* OFF ME. (Please don't mind my vulgarity. I am trying to make this as PG13 as I possibly can)
---------------------------
Okay. BREATHE.

One. Hydrogen.

STUPID.

Two.Helium.

IRRITATING.

Three. Lithium.

ASANINE.

Four. Berilium.

COMPLACENT.

Five. BORON!

MORONS!
--------------------
Hah! That felt good.

Okay, not so pissed now.

Shall attempt to do my literary analysis essay.

Watching you

Watching you I stand
Silently
By your side a shadow
I am and always'll be
And when you shed your tears
I stood by
But when it all turned right
You turned away

What am I?
Just what am I to you?
Who am I?
Who am I to you?

Sometimes I wake up late at night
Wondering
If it ever happened between
You and I
Now our friendship seems to me
A mere memory
And I am left alone to think of
All those Used-to-be's.

What am I?
Just what am I to you?
Who am I?
Who am I to you?

Not done yet, still have one or two more verses to go. The chorus sounds a tad bit like MCR's I'm Not Okay though...or maybe that's because of the long notes used.

Bleah. I'm not doing bio.

How on EARTH are you supposed to even crap an answer given these questions, anyway?
Gah. Shall do it tomorrow. Going to revise a little E. Math now.

Okie.

Off.
