You know what? I have no idea what to say today. I want to relisten to Ben Folds Five's Whatever and Ever again. It's so cool because you see where their influences come from, and how their sound changes. I also see where Lauren Fairweather and Nina Jankcowicz get their inflence from. (They are huge fans of Ben Folds, and I first heard of him through them, when they covered The Last Polka.)
oh my GOD. whenever I watch It Gets Better videos I just LOSE it, especially this one:
and I keep crying and watching things that make me CRY. GOD I'm such a mess. And I'm reading Victorian lit now, where they say women are flippant; they have weak constituencies, they are unsuited for certain kinds of work. As much as I disagree, and can't help but feel that the state I'm in just adds more evidence to those statements. I just annoy myself sometimes.
I'm going out to see my friends from primary school tomorrow, before we all leave for overseas universities and go our separate ways. Yesterday I went to joyce's book release party, and it was amazing, mostly because the food was so good. Hmm. It just so happens that there are a lot of social things happening this week and next week. So glad that I've found time to get some math and lit done.
yuck I hate how introspective I get when there's nothing to say. We're only halfway through the month, and I don't think you'll like to put up with Emo Nicole every day. I think I should make a list of blogs for the rest of the month and type up the reviews I wrote on paper. So I can talk about things that are actually ~interesting~.
Meeting my friends tomorrow will be so weird, though, because I hardly hang out with people from school anymore, save for 1 or 2 friends. I'm not used to talking to teenagers! They're a different breed altogether. My usual friends are, like, 25. *clutches pearls* #ageist It's also one of the few groups of people from school that I want to meet though, with people who *want* to see each other. xD eg I don't really want to go for gatherings with my class from JC (11th and 12th grade, more or less) or from secondary school (9th and 10th grade). I know this sounds awful, but I don't think I'll be missing them much. I'll probably be saying something entirely different in a few years' time, haha.
I think it's probably because we remember each other at the point we knew each other the most-- when we were 10-12 years old. I'm not sure about the rest, but it was a pretty innocent and enjoyable time of my life, and it would be fun to catch up with everyone else and see what they're up to nowadays. It's going to be SO WEIRD though. The last time I went to one of these was 2 years ago, and I unexpectedly ended up staying the night at a chalet. I might have even talked about that in a video... BUT I'm not showing it to you, because it's crappy and poorly edited.
Do you have gatherings or reunions with your friends from elementary school? High school? What's it like?
Two of my best friends are actually people from high school.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, though, that I didn't really know them THAT well during high school, but I've started hanging out with them more during uni (one of them was in my class, the other one I just kept hanging out with).
But we sometimes meet again with our class from senior year high school ^^ That's always fun :D
