there were loads of things I refrained myself from doing as the act of fearing myself falling into the conventional bunch who seems like all they ever know is to jump in the bandwagon. fearing that i lose my identity, losing every colours infused in my rainbow-like self. i have seen my friends and people around me doing this i thought is cliche. i did not wear leggings when everyone was so obsessed when the fashion recently hit young females, nor did I read Twilight or Harry Potter siries just because everyone is doing it (not that i read them at all ;p). I am very happy that i wanted to become a linguist because i realize not many likes the profession. i adore Robert Frost for writing The Road not Taken. in fact, i am never able to help but go wide eyed and 'wow' when i meet someone with special talent. 'being able to pull yourself out of the cliched ways takes a lot of wisdom', was what my grandpa used to tell me.
and yeah, so far i still couldn't think of something i previously scorned as a cliche that i am doing now. maybe i do them without realizing i am actually doing it. maybe i am doing it, but refusing to believe i am doing it thus i fail to see it. maybe i couldn't even remember what i used to hate back then.
hey wait a sec, i wear pink now. not lots, but i do. and i used to swear to my dad i won't ever touch them in my whole life. and i sworn i'd love blue forever. i used to hate girls who is in love with pink way too much. but i haven't gone pink crazy. don't think i'll ever. but i used to swear i wont wear pink at all. i do wear them now. who knows one day i'll become one of those girls who couldn't live a day not having at least 10 pink items in her handbag.
my dad used to tell me this. 'never say never. because you never know if you might actually do it someday'. that would be like spitting to the sky, isn't it? the spit would come back landing straight on the face. now i realize i am doing something i said i'd never. life is pretty funny, huh? ;p
and...i don't normally do this. but i am actually writing a fanfic. its already at the 3rd chapter, and plan to finish everything at once before posting them one by one into LJ. it is progresing real slow, as i am being a lazybum and is struggling even to finish my college work. not that i ever swore i'll never write a story though. i remembered writing fictions when i was smaller (which my elder brother found and had a real good laugh with). i figured it'll be okay.
p/s: just doing this because i thought my LJ's pretty much like a ghost town. hurmm..-.-'
