I'm posting this because Sammy requested me to update my blog.

Today was the last day of school for the year 2012. I can't say it wasn't fun. Although it turned sorta ridiculous at times, like for example, when nuns suddenly danced with parols. My God. That was hilarious. Today was also the last day of exams. We had our test in Algebra yesterday. I'm going to fail, I just know it. I am not being pessimistic at all. Actually, I'm quite the opposite. I've been optimistic since last week. So that's cool.

I am feeling mildly dejected. It's probably because I won't be seeing another human for three weeks. Family members aren't considered human. They suck out your soul. Anyway, I really hate last days. They make me feel so melancholy and I would have trouble sleeping for a week. I get really overwhelmed about how I could miss a group of people so much. It's only been a few hours into Christmas vacation and I just want to go back to school. What can I say? Annoying people grow on me.

So over the course of the next few weeks, I will be updating about boring events and realizations that I will be having during the break. Let's all thank God that I just bought Emma by Jane Austen so I'll probably be posting about that soon.

7 days til Christmas
3 days til The End of the World

WOW

A lot has happened to me in the span of time between my last post and today. I don't really want to expand on that because it would be weird and inappropriate to be sharing this on the internet, but, to reassure you of my welfare, I am okay. I promise. I'm not as great as what I would've wanted to be, but, I'm enough. Ha-ha. It's getting sorta weird in my house, though. It almost feels as if everyone is in a conspiracy to keep something from me. I HAVE TO KNOW WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS.

My room is being renovated. It's now painted white and they're installing more closets and shelves. My white walls will not be so white in a few months time because I shall be painting them in a weird hipster-ish manner. My room will be cool, I'm telling you! I'll take pictures when it's completely done.

Oh right. I meant to tell you guys the last time except I kept on forgetting. I used to have a tumblr account, but, I got way too addicted. I mean, for a person who can never be torn away from her laptop, this time, I knew I was addicted. So, I stopped for a year and a half, I think? Something like that. Now, I am back and I am most definitely NOT going to be obsessed again. I swear. Here is a link. Also, you guys need to read my tumblr's further page because the way I introduce myself there is hilarious and decidedly truthful. What can I say?

So yeah. I hope I get cool Christmas presents and I hope next year would be hella better than this year. Be okay, peeps.

I AM WEIRD

This is my attempt at being vain. I am a failure to all of vanity's big believers. I'm sorry.

I am in my room, trying to keep real quiet because I am currently hiding from my family and the visitors. They all think I'm asleep so I'm doing my best to encourage their belief. Anyway, the past few days have been overwhelming. I'm not really used to feeling so happy. The lovelife progress made this week was more than I expected. I hope she's not reading this, otherwise I'd be very embarrased. And I would be more than my usual amount of awkward next week.

Caribou and Le Loup are doing a very good job of taking over my playlist. Listen to some of their other songs. Caribou makes me feel in love. Ha-ha.

If anybody wants to get me a Christmas gift, here's my list:

1. FOOD

2. An abundance of origami paper

3. A good non-shitty book

4. A really long letter with lots of effort put into it.

5. Stuff you think I might want, related to fandoms etc..

I am the easiest person to give a gift to. Just give me cute shit and I'm cool with it.

I AM RUBBISH AT TITLES.

Greetings fellow sickos!

It's been 30 days since I've last posted. Unfortunately, this post won't be any different with my previous ones. I'm still as dorky as ever and can bore you to possible death. I'm just here to acknowledge the fact that tomorrow will be the last day of our sembreak. Well isn't that sad? On the contrary, I'm really excited to go back to school because that would mean I'd get to be away from the loony bin that is my house. Ha-ha.

Okay so, I'm not really one for love stories and all that jazz, but, recently I've been getting into classic romance novels by Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and the like. I watched the 2005 Pride & Predjudice film. Keira Knightley was brilliant. I swear. The thing I like about it is that Mr. Darcy is such a unique love interest for someone like Elizabeth Bennet. Plus it wasn't that cheesy, unlike other exaggerated romance films and stories. I'll be watching a whole lot more of British period films, mark my words!

I wrote a couple of poems just this week. I'd like you people (if there are indeed 'people' to reference) to read one of them. This one has no title because I am absolutely horrible at coming up with them, as mentioned in my post title, ironically. Anyway,

i.

A string of clumsy words drop from my tongue.
And in their wake, an immense silence settles against the wall.
I know the conversation crumples as quickly as it's made,
Though the weight of sentences stay to crush me.

ii.

You speak a thousand glasses of sweet champagne
And all I respond with is a drip of bitter water.
I know not to listen, my ears may be blunt,
But, I am afraid I am already quite drunk.

iii.

And when my tired lips utter my final words,
I will never truly forget how your voice rang
Through the chords of my lungs down to the hollow of me.
What a shame, what a shame to have listened to you.

I am so sorry if that made no sense. That was sorta a spur of the moment kind of thing. So yeah. Until next time? I hope you guys will still read this blog after this terrible post.

Oh and here's a GIF of my favorite scene from Pride & Predjudice:

PLAYLIST: SOMEWHERE TO BE

Call Your Girlfriend - Barcelona (Robyn cover)
Beach Baby - Bon Iver
Skin, Warming Skin - Laura Gibson
Lily - The Dodos
Miss You - Foster the People
Petite Roses - Diane Cluck
I Found a Reason - Cat Power
Naive - The Kooks
Rome - Phoenix

I've got somewhere to be and that somewhere is in your heart!

Sorry for that random outburst. Anyway here it is, my playlist for October. I've been feeling down, hence the mostly depressing songs. Especially Beach Baby, oh my God. It's the epitome of my gloomy music. I love Bon Iver for it. Barcelona's cover of Robyn's Call Your Girlfriend is perfect in every possible way. Laura Gibson is my latest discovery. Her songs, Hands in Pockets and Spirited are also great. Thank God the world is able to produce people like her.

I hope you enjoy this playlist as much as I do. It's great for when you feel alone and you just want to cry. Most of the music I listen to are like that. So, if you are ever in need of sad songs, feel free to check out my playlists.
