If we had lived in older, more primitive times, when slavery was still permissible and there was no uniform currency system in place, life - and the overall economic system - would still be simple (although quite unhygienic). For example, if Almathussela were to borrow 100 slaves from me on Tuesday, with the promise to pay me back during the next ( Read more... )

Cascada's "What Hurts The Most" is super WIN.

It's been stuck in my brain for the past 123 hours. The incongruity between super-sad lyrics and the upbeat tempo never fails to get me.

Eurodance lives forever!

This weekend's mantra: OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND! (Taken from a Kelly Clarkson song.)

Roughly translated: if you are not *physically* in my presence, I will forget you even exist! Haha. I will be like an exponential pdf. I will be memoryless. :)

Before anything else:

RIP MJ.
The news was so heartbreaking. He was set out to make a comeback. I haven't even revived my MJ phase and danced out loud to his tunes, like I did 4 years ago to Nya's mixed CD, dancing to "Billie Jean" outside the Pisay ASTB. I am still in shock. =,(

Hola!

Thus begins my (super-delayed) end-of-summer entry. A post-mortem assessment. A blow-by-blow account. Anything I can squeeze out during my 3-hour break this freakishly rainy first day of classes. This summer I fell in love. I fell out of love. I faced my demons and plunged headfirst into the unknown. I dabbled with mixed metaphors nobody (not ( Read more... )

I'm spending the morning online house-sitting while Datu's away, talking to my loneliness and so far we've had very good conversations together. My dad doesn't even know where I am or why I didn't come home last night from the Newton Instructors' Night Out (it was a drizzly depressing 10PM), and he's stopped asking me, which is probably not a good ( Read more... )

Omegle is the new shiznit. You log on and are literally connected to a total stranger and you can converse about ABSOLUTELY anything.

The only sad part is that KOREANS HAVE INVADED OMEGLE, AAAARGH.

Here are some of the funnier conversations I had this evening:

( OMEGLE OMEGLE OMEGLE )

They're all replaceable. I see it now. How easily it is for me to interchange one with another, an endless stream of names, faces, and personalities. The path ahead has never looked so golden, so clear. Then comes along someone with the purest of intentions, asking for nothing more than for me to be honest, and shut up. The first I can do, the ( Read more... )
