B -16- Stationary YoYo
Ever get that feeling that you're actually going up and down like the proverbial yoyo?...
i hate yoyos, mainly cos i actually dont know how to use them and have never been able to make them go up after letting them down. As a result i usually dont let go of them in the first place... Well, until recently i thought that the proverbial yoyo (obviously im referring to the yoyo as an analogy for emotions :P) was meant to go up and down... you know... happy, then sad, then happy, sad etc. I'm not saying this in the 'clinically depressed' emo sense of "oh let me put on my sisters jeans, which look great on me by the way" (NB: see most recent interval) but rather the normality of emotions... things happen in your life that make you smile or frown, maybe cry or even float on the cloud nine cliche. Thats life, nothing unusual about it at all... the way different people deal with it is the part that is unusual... or rather not, because there is no usual... well i suppose some would argue that there is but... ok lets try this trail of thought again.
What im trying to say is that maybe the proverbial hand that plays with the proverbial yoyo can either hold it up in the air (like i would) or walk the dog... then you get those transition times between the two options... or the round-the-world trick etc etc. whatever lets not make it more complicated than i have already.
Translation: it is possible to be consistently happy, or even regretably consistantly sad, and sometimes you have the shift between the two extremes. This is panning out to reseamble alot of what i said last entry, but the reason i mention it is because although i have been consistently happy of late there was a recent yoyo drop... maybe it was... tirck blah blah (i shot the extent of my yoyo knowledge when i referred to walking dogs around the world) but it didn't last... ended up back in the comfortable proverbial hand in a stationary position... anyway point being that its moments like that which often put things into perspective... that make you realise you dont always have to be sorry, let alone say it...
Its amazing how fragile we all are... it could be the simple things like school work, or rent, or food, or love, or hate, or friends, or family.. you name it... there are so many factors to our lives, and they can swing either way (is there a yoyo trick that involves swinging?)
Just remember that if things are swinging to the negative, they can return to the positive.
And if things are swinging to the positive... well, just forget about the fact it can swing at all, and you'll probably feel better for it. So even if there are a few downs there are a few ups... Actually the irony of this lecture is that i don't feel the need to remind my self of any of this crap at the moment... i'm happy! i'm just doing cos it was a thought i had, and thats the point of a jounral hey?
So anyway, its been a fairly good week in general aside from a rather (albeit thankfully brief) unexpected down. I believe i earned a case of minor alcohol poising after wednesday night... so i can't recount those events since i cant remember them. this weekend, went out again friday, which would have been fun if it werent for wednesdays continuing effects... maybe i should start saving myself for the weekend, wednesday just seems a waste sometimes. Went to see Lano and Woodley saturday curtoesy of a ticket from Winckle, and spent the rest of the night at Katie's with Ben, Jackson, Will, Winckle, Maddison, Jess and ironically Katie (significant lack of females lol). Went to see ice age 2, and just finished my writers story... which i hate and rate as one of my laziest excuses for fiction... but i dont care.
So the yoyo sits still and although im aware it has the potential to move anytime, its not so scary if i just relax...
...
...has anyone other than me noticed i have a tendancy to over use ellipsis in my journal? so here's a tribute to the hard working ellipsis ... ... ... ... I salute you! -> ...
