I have regrets.

Except, perhaps deeper than i first thought. There are only two main ones, and though i will not tell you what they are, it still saddens me to this day. Sure, they are not life-threatening ones as of yet, but it is still sad.

Though in considering (not inconsiderate) another piece of literature very recently aquired, the boiling down of it is. "Be Persistent". And thus, i will try to be from now on. I wonder how it will fare.

Hoping Wonderland does not actually exist.

PS: Pity that creative writing is not on this year. I was so looking forward to it. I have even got a story for it!

Self-referentialism

As much as i could be mean and say, yes it is you, i will not because that would be lying and while i could lie my way out of this one too, i do not think that i should and thus; No, it is not you. (Hint:She is older than you.) BONUS POINTS!: Name the exact situation so i know what you are talking about but with no details; ie. names and whatnot. And no, "the blonde woman" doesn't really count.

But beyond that, i find it much easier to write a story when i am the protagonist as well as the bard. Maybe i could write another where i am an observer. Invisible and sees invisible. Oh, yea.

I would really hope that nothing much happens for the next week, because there is already a lot going on, including a full set of papers to write. I am bubbling with anticipation! (No, not really.)

Also, i have come to realise the irony of many situations well after when it happens, thus, the "beauty of hindsight". It is still quite sad and though it may be a sad thought, it does not mean i am sad. Nor angry.

Hoping you can be more regular.

Your expectations are surpassed!

And mine are too. It is sometimes pleasant, sometimes weird, but it is always surprising. I am still amazed by two occurances of this expectation surpassing-ness (?) and it is wonderful and kind of interesting too.

And it would seem that others are more forgiving than i am. So..

I re-read another piece of literature that i hold, having got it fairly recently and remembering how it relates to me. It would seem that having high standards is something that you can not see until someone else points it out to you in red and blue (for lack of a better cliche, of course. Maybe a simile too.). It is all very interesting and sad at the same time. Perhaps i am sad too much of the time, but it is not a break down in tears sad, more of a regret sad. And there is a lot of that.

Also, the case of righteous people. It angers me to see people abuse their power and refuse to admit their faults, instead lash out on people of "lower" status/class to them. It is a very broad statement, but i would hope that a few know what i am on about. It is outrageous to think in a democratic society, which they would be advocating, that this injustice would happen. But it does, and on a too regular basis. Hmph.

Hoping you see what i see.

"You cannot plead ignorance"

I think I'm not alone in the injustice of "intelligent = ignorant". The two adjectives are completely standalone and are in no way related, as of a definition. Due to real world not being a dictionary, however, people's judegements slip. And I am very angry about it. In short, i don't have much time to write this and thus am trying to keep it as brief as possible, given what i have seen (or heard). Just know that I am angry and you should be, too.

Besides that, i now have 2 pieces of literature, written by me, read by about 3-4 people which tell me not to use contractions, and thus, i will endeavour to stop using contractions and to express myself "better" or "more refined", i suppose. With fancy words like "fancy".

So keep it simple. Stupid.

K.I.S.S. your fortunes goodbye!

Hoping you never need to use that stupid acronym(?).

It would seem....

Upon the topic of auras, i really don't buy the "ooh, you have a black aura, you're going to kill everyone around you (metaphorically)", but i do think that how you see yourself and others, and projecting yourself is that "aura". Sure, there are people who hide things (in fact, isn't that everyone?) but mainly the first impression is the right one, unless they're truly deluding everyone including themselves.

And no, i don't know what i'm on about, you can disregard me, but i would like it if you didn't blantantly state it because it would hurt my feelings.

But really, it's a slow week with nothing much to do except exaggerate the effects of friction on paper aeroplanes which leads to spontaneous combustion and thus death of your house and eventually, you.

Though i have thought up a mini-list of my favorite words/phrases and here they are:

1."In any case"
2."Delusions of Grandeur"
3."But"
4."Tautalogic"

I think there's more and if i remember them, i'll rewrite and add to this list. (No, it's not for something more to write; filler, it's obviouisly a genuinely interesting concept. Somehow. Bonus Points!: Find out how!)

Hoping you never get onto one of them Japanese game shows with octopus and wasabi. And hopefully you won't eat it either!

Pay It Forward

It's a great film about abuse, altruism and what one person can do to change the world. Personally, the film is good, the themes are brilliant but it's not really viable. Maybe you have seen it or heard about it, and if the latter, you should watch it.

It's also very interesting because it prompts me to try a few experiments, and see what happens. I'm not normally altruistic, so we'll see how this turns out. Obviously i can't really tell details because:

1.I haven't thought of something yet
2.It's a surprise!

Okay, maybe not the second, but still.

And for once, it's a Hollywood film with a sad ending. They're quite far and few between sometimes.

Hoping you will heed me/this/it
