On loose tongues
A midnight's quarrel doesn't help matters, and i'm sorry i should've held my tongue better.
Forgive the backdating -
It escapes me what that fight then had been about. Logically speaking, it must have been pretty messy, seeing how our little tiffs never graced your log. I do remember, though, my surprise at the post, cos -I- hadn't thought it was worth that much of a deal. But what I'm getting at is this: I really, really can't recall the bad stuff anymore. IF you'd even call it the bad stuff. They've faded to the recesses of my mind. (This business of quoting myself is becoming a habit, I really ought to be more inventive. Symbolic of nothing, as usual. In case you're wondering, no, you haven't. Good and fine, good and fine?)
Those are good things to forget. If I ever blamed you for anything, please, believe that I remember only the most comforting of times, made bittersweet qualified by the knowledge that -
You know how I'll complete the sentence, or the paragraph, or this chapter. I've been childish, I know. But how else? You know I run from these things. You know too, we can't quarrel without me feeling awful about it. You know a lot. So I'm guessing you know I'm sorry.
One last edit: Incidentally, I'm at the lounge and they've just put on Mi Mancherai, featuring the flute. Haven't heard this version before and it's not bad at all. Well.. I maintain that Il Postino's saving grace was its soundtrack. But this is just Coincidence.

Golden Slumbers
Ah it's such a beautiful dayyyyyy1. I have found the lullaby of my life! Can't stop gushing about (who else but) The Beatles. (Sorry?)
2. Will hopefully (oh please please please) be very very very busy. Oh please let this great calendar-manoeuvre work out. In the meantime, watch out for Man Of Letters hahah it's the NUS Centennial closing-musical. I have snagged utterly bit part. (Who cares by affirmative action, or not?) Please at least pretend to be interested in coming hurhur
.. and this means I have to go get that pair of Nike sockish shoes. You know, those that look like a cocoon-Prestos but with three holes for defence? What sweet dilemma! You see I really didn't think I'd be in the running for a part at all (ensemble OR NOT) so one day, yanking my unwilling self away from the SALEs I made a pact to get those awful purple things ONLY if I get a part. Wheeeeeeee

Wow I've been driving most friends COMPLETELY mad all night. And now that they've dutifully hopped off to sleep, I'm left here and logically I should go to bed too, but this state of nuttiness has yet to settle. Aiya whatever this ranting's not helping I'm outta hereAlright, sometimes sleeping it off doesn't help. I'm back and still very grumpy. But hopping lecture as much as public law lectures are the shizzzzzzz. Today school just feels a little too far away, plus, everybody else's out. Nice.
Anyways I have this nifty gmail alert thing which is way cool, it purrs when I have new mail. Perfect for obsessive-compulsive passive-aggressives. Bye.

Heyyy baby, want some Lllllluv tonight?
Cousins. You know they're definitely growing up to be great pals, the nine/11 years in between not withstanding when you hang out fiddling with the Love Calculator, and they insist your number1 cutie "looks really gross", and jig (more like break all springs in the mattress) to FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! But only after pointing out it's Sunday, and sensibly commenting staying up till two beats waking at five to complete homework by far. Something about sleeping better but talk about falling on deaf ears, ha. And Pictionaryyy! Re: title, I have an audiorecording which unfortunately didn't capture the accompanying eyebrow wriggle of Chappy trying his lines on me (yes he's 10, yes, his sister goaded him into it. Not that he'd needed much encouragement at all).evelyn at 4:03 PM
In Her Shoes/Tues/Just me 'N U (and all the other bears)

Hollow laughing
1) Why is it morning? Why, it's morning when the night before haunts your consciousness. I'm itching to swear WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF but look, it hasn't helped. What a horrid day it is, but I'm a little relieved for some sun - about time! Haven't felt this gutless before. Lately I've had this niggling obsession with courage, and I think secretly that was what my new year's resolution was about. Being brave (ie. not a ninny) and now's the test. Le sigh.1a) ... Le sigh (pretend-French?) WHEE! We're all going to be scattered but, yeah yeahyeah. : ) BLAAAAAST! Drop by HK, even if just to laugh at the ball I have been threatened I'll become. I promise to be nice!!
2) CAN'T get my sister's parting MSN words out of my head -
Not like it's news, not like I didn't already know it, not like it's not my own fault, but still.
.. well haha dropped her an email and already feel rather better. Marginally's still something, right? Refuse to be pathetic!
3) Must we really, really nerd today? Have I been whining about this all week or what?!
4) Have been directed to not one but TWO prime vegetarian restaurants by the strangest twists of fate. Haha!

Decisions, decisions
Nasty things. Today I made one, not with a lot of fanfare I hope. I've tried hard not to dramatise it as I'm wont to do, because I'm not really interested in chasing my own tail of self-inflicted pain! So here it is, I've set my foot down to "be brave about it". (Just quoting me.) I'm fine, if not just a little shaken, there's nothing to talk about but I can't help moping some and don't want to overcompensate in effervescence I mightn't feel. But friends if you see me merry and gay you know I truly AM smiling, and you must know that it's all because of all of you. Thanky!ION, public law is disgustingly daunting. (Alliteration indeed gets us nowhere.)

Uh oh!
My grades are definitely dead. Move over, blog-stalking! Have taken online window-shopping obsession to new heights and shucks, it is true I must declare, this love for vin dresses is definitely universal. Which rock have I been hiding under???? Am surfing and tabbing webpages so methodically like it's homework and I swear I'll finish following all the links today, or die trying!!!!!!!evelyn at 11:22 PM

Fowlplay
Suspecting a chicken. A whole email thread has disappeared from my mailbox - how's this for intrigue! Haha allow my imagination to revel in victimized maliciousness for just a moment. It concerns my vacation placement, you see.ION, am currently begging for work and willing to sell my pride at a premium, sigh. All to do with lunch with an industrious old friend and thus newfound shame at my slothful self. About time to repent after a semester of pure mugging and fun, on top of respite in a faraway land PLUS Christmas bumming. JOIN THE PROLETARIAT, I SHALL! Or Da Paolo Gastronomia, preferably. : )

Shimmying costume changes!
Hello! It seems the only action I've been up to around here is template reskinning rather than posting. No, am no Peanuts fan but this reminds me much of art folios and primary school sibling bullying. My sister drew Woodstock exactly like that, and guess whose art teacher was mightily impressed? : )Happity new year and may this year's labours of love bring much joy to all. This time next week we'll be nosedeep/nosedipped in books, bleah!
