Nostalgia (this word is monstrous)
Is there a limit for how much you can miss a place?
Sometimes I don't miss it much, but at other times I wish I could be there. Like when I was reading Wanru's blog today, and she talked about estivo, our gelato ice cream place that's hidden just behind NJC.
And I miss the bubble tea and cheese roti prata.
I thought I would be able to go back next Friday, but it turns out that Wanru and Emile, at least, won't be free to go out for dinner. I'm apprehensive about meeting the rest without Wanru around, because she's the one I've been in closest communication with on msn and stuff. I barely talk to the rest, and when I go there they'd probably stay around in their cliques, if they do in fact bother to go.
That's one thing: They never gather together. It seems like they're only willing to see me when it's convenient for them, and then it's not really to see Me but to be social with each other. I suppose I shouldn't expect anything else, especially since... I told someone that it was fair for me to leave them because I knew I'd miss them more than they'd miss me.
How superficial missing people can be!
Otherwise... Alaris is having a really busy time now. She's maxed out her subject combinations, and she has fencing as a CCA, and she's hoping to be an OGL (Orientation group leader) for next year. To become an OGL you need to at least be a Befriender, which is one of those people who show others around on Open Day, and look knowledgeable about RJ and stuff. So Alaris is going to do that, if she can.
On another note: I'm always divided on whether I'm pretty or not. You remember Estella said I was more beautiful than her mother. And various people say I'm pretty. But they won't know the times when I'm most down, and what do they mean by *pretty* anyway? It just means I'm not a total freak. Sometimes I think I am totally superficial. But it does matter, somehow. It would make life more liveable if I had at least that little advantage.
Anyway, Alaris is sort of tired. I have this blurred neoprint here (blurred because I can't figure out how to adjust the scanner settings with this new computer). Alaris is on the left.
Alaris didn't see the point in not posting a picture anymore.
