all along the watchtower
i take it back. angst has left the building.
first day back at school was honestly nothing remarkable. except for the little disaster on the way home that was such a waste of time. i basically ...boarded the wrong bus, then had to find my way back to school, then didn't change buses in time and had to backtrack ...taking 2h to get home. i am awesome, i know.
i came across 2 Textbook People (new term I have coined, not to be listed in the dictionary till... ever) today. people like that are so intriguing. sometimes. maybe. not. I thought about it on the way home and I still don't know what to think. maybe that's why I had to make so many detours. stupid Textbook peopl!
quote of the day!
guy: we have some stupid rule that if anyone gets late- I MEAN- is late..
class: AHAHAHAHAHA
guy: *blushes*... then that person has to pay a fine (but at this point no one was listening anyway)
15 weeks of this, then 4 months of unadulterated bliss (okay maybe throw in a summer term. or two?).

I've been thinking of what to make of 2007, I know thisis pretty belated but a week ago I didn't think there was much to take away from a year that was an 80% holiday. there were all these random, crazy, extreme moments that in retrospect I can't piece together to form a single thread. I mean, wasn't that the point in the first place? To live like we would live forever?
But I gave it second thought today, and I think my biggest takeaway was growing tougher. Like learning not to be affected, learning to say No. when i was a little kid, exchanging stickers with my friends, I'd let them take the nice ones and "exchange" the nice ones for the ones they didn't want anymore, because I didn't know how to say No. It's just one of those things you remember from really long ago. Well I've learnt that I don't have to always oblige and I don't have to be sorry if I can't oblige and it's not always my fault .
Maybe sometimes, it's no one's fault, or everyone's fault.
And what is with the obsession with fault and blame anyway? "Blame is a way of making sense of the chaos". I'll never forget that line.
i know, what is UP with all these deep-thinky entries? knock knock, who's there?
1. Coupland influences me far too much
2. Don't worry, I am OK (random trivia: O.K is derived from "all correct", but in olden days they spelled/ thought of it as "Oll Korrect", therefore O.K, ) and far from an emotional mess
3. This could apply to everything or nothing at all.
4. maybe this should be a friends-only entry.....whatever.
