just another saturday

my computer's down, and i just irritated my sister by being unable to spell her password (due to an extremely limited vocabulary coupled with an inherent diablity to spell in general) so i'm using my parents'. oh joy. they don't have any good music on their com (by which i mean 2 beds and a coffee machine) so the sound of the wind will have to make do.

incidentally, i went to school yesterday! and lasted all day! amazing feat. spent a great deal of time orchestrating bev's birthday and jean's surprise party at the same time. bet i blew up my free msgs. but oh well i guess all the tension and fingernail biting (okay i don't) and worrying was worth it when she got the shock of her life and trouser was so freaked out that he ran around all jittery. good meeting bev too. her school's having prom at fullerton. if our school had it at fullerton i might actually go, if for no other reason but the chance to be surrounded by the sheer romance of that golden building straight out of a fairytale. i don't even know where ritz carlton is, i'm not about to waste 85 bucks on food i probably wouldn't eat, and feel threatened by all the dressed-up, squealing girls around me all night(i can just imagine all their thick makeup, yeech), so i'll just go out with my friends all night. =D oh but jan says i can do her nails if she doesn't get them done, so yay! =D

they say youth prefer sunrises, and although i acknowledge that they're pretty enough, they just don't whack me in the face the way sunsets do. sure, they signify a new beginning and all that, but so what? all it turns into is another day of too-bright sunshine in your face and humidity clinging to your arms. sunsets, on the other hand, inspire a bittersweet awe in their controlled grandeur, rolling back slowly, drawing in their power like huge, unstoppable magnets, curling up into themselves, leaving a velvet darkness thick enough to touch. daylight is only useful when you're looking at pretty things; the clouds' random and ever-changing shapes, the different hues of blue in the sky, the silhouette of trees against the sun, etc etc. but the night is powerful. it hides, it whispers, it surrounds you. it becomes you. and that, my friend, is power.

besides, haven't you noticed how people look better at night? for a very good reason? okay i'll try to cut down on the sniggering.

am off medication. haven't started the new one yet - i want to enjoy eating everything i can for a while. started off with icecream yesterday, gone on to gourmet chips today. life's good, life's good. chocolate, anyone?

and oh yes, siti! thank you so much for the flower, darling. it was a very pleasant surprise. considering my birthday was two months ago. haha. but i like it very much anyway. it's standing in my water bottle right now because all the vases are being used. yes i know my hygiene is worrisome, but i'll find another bottle soon. and you look so good in contacts! almost makes me wish i could be bothered to wear mine more often haha. should have lunch some day, and catch up with everyone. you know, i dreamt and indirectly came up with the perfect way to humiliate mellie's (or anyone else's) bf should he not prove satisfactory as a lesser half - pin him to the floor, write: 'down with chauvanist assholes' on one cheek and 'this is for the girls' on the other, his name in block letters on his forehead (her bf's name isn't that long) and draw a big red shiny dot on his nose, all with my beautiful crimson smudge-proof-water-proof-practically-permanent lipstick, then say, 'you know the perfect way to say goodbye?', lean in as if you're about to smooch, and then.. slap him across the face! hahaha i love me sometimes. hope mellie sees this. it's exactly the sort of thing we'd have done back when we were in secondary school, and were openly anti-guy. i'm still having trouble reconciling that mellie with this mellie. it's just not possible. m must be one hell of a dream guy. i'm still waiting for the day bev finds hers. it'll be dead hilarious - and we'll all help plot the perfect dumping routine. =D
