I'm Going To Have My Cake..

And eat it too. Because life is just too short to deprive yourself of everything fun. I keep thinking about what I've achieved so far in my life, and it isn't much. So I'm going to start trying to do new things, meet new people, and just enjoy life basically.

I Dont Need You.

I feel like I'm burning out. I'm cold and I don't feel too great. I've got a banging headache and I can feel the onset of a nasty cough. But I will not and shall not take any medicine. Pills are for wussies.

But I do need to concentrate and not fall asleep at my desk. Think this calls for an early night for me. Or else I really am going to burn out. Had an eventful weekend and so I didn't have the time to catch up on my sleep as I usually do. Just need to hold on and make it to this weekend. Don't think I have any plans. Or do I..?

In other news, I've been having weird dreams lately. People of the past have been heavily featured and to be quite honest with you, it's left me with this nasty aftertaste of nostalgia. Somehow it doesn't feel real, like it didn't actually happen. And nostalgia is the only feeling it evokes, I don't feel a sense of anger anymore. In saying that, I wouldn't really describe myself as an angry person anymore. Moody, yes. Angry, no.

P.S. The candle burning in the picture is 'Spiced Apple'. It makes my room smell so delicious that I want to lick the air. I refrain (but not really).

Broken Glass and Broken Hearts.

I hate broken glass. It's a bitch to clean up. And you never seem to be able to get it all, and you end up with broken glass in your feet. It reminds me of a broken heart: you think that you're over it, but then all of a sudden, you feel the sharp pain of heartache. But once you manage to get rid of all the broken shards, everything is back to normal again, and there's no need to walk with caution.

Speaking of broken hearts, what is up with K-Dramas? They really love their "One year later" sequences. An epic love story is not complete unless the two mains spend one year apart from each other. Whatever the problem is, all is solved with one year passing by. It doesn't matter what the issue was, how big or small the problem was, let's just fast forward one year, and have the lead guy and the lead girl meet each other again, and then, and only then, can they FINALLY get to be with one another. That, or one of them dies.

I never understood why they couldn't just solve the problem there and then. If they REALLY wanted to be with each other, why couldn't they just make it happen. What difference is there in waiting a year apart from the fact that one year has passed. And more often than not, the reunion scene is totally anti-climatic that it completely undermines the epic love struggles they endured. One word to describe those endings: boo.

Look Into My Eyeballs.

Just tell me the truth. I don't see the point in lying. The truth will come out eventually and it'll turn out worse than what it would have been had you told me the truth in the first place.

The ways I see it, if you felt like you had to lie, it must have meant that you thought you were doing something wrong. If you didn't, you wouldn't have felt the need to lie. So the thing that was "nothing" has just become a thing that is  "something". So was it really worth it? Really?

And yes, most girls think this way.

P.S. I blinded myself trying to take a good picture of my eye. Stupid flash.

What Am I Waiting For?

I'm such a procrastinator. Always putting things off until the last minute. I never used to be, always used to do my homework the day it got set. This all changed when I went to uni, everything was always left until the day before it was due (but I never handed anything in late).

And this procrastination occurs on the daily, every single night, I always wait until midnight to shower. And on nights I wash my hair (every other day), I have to wait until my hair dries (I don't like to use hairdryers because they dry out your hair) and so I usually get to bed at like 2am. So I'm always a zombie and snooze my alarms a few times before finally dragging myself out of bed, 15 minutes before I have to leave the house.

So why am I so lastminute-dot-com?!

I need to kick my arse into gear, starting tomorrow (because some things never change).

A Rude Awakening.

So I was having a nice little sleep onto my way into work and all of a sudden, I hear a -BANG BANG BANG BANG-. I open my eyes and there's a ticket inspector in front of me with an annoyed face. So he does his little thing with his little machine to check if I paid for the journey and one stop later, I have to get off. Man, was I enjoying that little nap.

Although I did not like the fact that he made a banging noise to get my attention, at least he didn't touch me. How I DESPISE strangers touching me to get my attention. If you don't know me, please don't touch me. EVER. This happened when I was at Tesco and this old woman wanted to know if I was in the queue so she tapped me. WHY?! At least say "Excuse me?" before touching me. I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR HANDS HAVE BEEN.

Actually, I've come to prefer no physical contact with ALL people (friends included) strangers and those who are of the male persuasion. It's not personal (but not really). I don't know what it is, but please keep to your side of the room, thanks very much.
