Now, this may give the dear reader who at least has seen me in person a skewed sense of me. I think i've contemplated not exposing to much of myself to this blog, but blogs were meant, as were eyes, as windows to the soul, weren't they..? Except that blogs express the author's personality through words... So? Argh, to heck with it all.
First up. I've probably posted/said this before somewhere. But anyway, flipping through a stack of old newspapers (before i started reading in ernest daily/ catching up whenever i can, pussting homework in jeopardy) I've gotten a little inspiration to talk about the type of girls I like.
****
Don't feel like doing it anymore -____________-"
But anyway, yeah. This actually applies to guys too (please don't let your imagination wander), and actually it's just about me envying people in general. Yeah, i definitely touched on it before. Now, in this newspaper article, this Korean star says he doesn't actually fancy any type of girl. I concur (even though I find ponytails just... irrisistable). The most important thing is how the person in question manages to carry off a certain look with grace and impeccable poise. Basically, it's just about how the person's characer shines through... As long as somebody looks confident, long or short hair doesn't matter; not the choice of clothes, or fake eyelashes (or lack thereof). Which explains why I'm attracted to people whose eyes twinkle like stars, who appear to live. Quite unlike me. Which also explains how some guys can carry off the I'm-manly-because-I-wear-hot-pink-shirts-look. Also, quite unlike me.
Incidentally, my greatest wish is to sport a nice curly long hairdo. You know, that kind which simply exudes an artistic sense of fashion and whatnot.. Couldn't find a picture, though.
(told you it was going to be random.)
I found a page of a magazine under all the newspapers. By that, i mean a four-sides-of-a-page type of page. Apparently it's an advertisement by TOYS'R'US. This greatly reminds me of my childhood (or lack thereof.)... I'm turning green with envy at the "drone quadricopter"; musing about how the image of Ben 10 seems to look older (oh, well. Fun fact: I learnt the slang word "dufus" from the animated series. His sister, in fact. Of whose name i have no recollection of whatsoever.); and beyblades. Those things used to be quite popular back when i was in primary school. Now they seem to have been mostly unchanged apart from the images etc. And of course, the price. The little beyblade stadium costs $99.95 (it's pretty much $100 already, stupid marketing ploy...), while a filmsier version i bought ages ago- and thrown away ages ago- cost about $20. A pack of one beylade and the attached mechanism to spin it with costs $20- i bought mine for about $13 in the past. It's either inflation, or some other economics factor... I don't really want to delve into this subject because it reminds me that that i haven't done a single, single thing about homework. And PW, for that matter. I sense that my dear groupmates are getting slightly pissed off. Or maybe more than slightly pissed off. Anyways. I'm in a dilemma about spending that $20 to buy a beyblade, just for old time's sake. Especially when i'm in heavy debt to my father for purchasing the Sony Nex-5 interchangable lens camera (a hybrid between the compact camera and a DSLR). Of course, buying an additional battery and two filters for my two lenses didn't help much. Well, the good lady behind the counter sure did at any rate. The filters were originally $49.50 each, but I got both for $20 altogether (after $20 paid off from scratch-and-win vouchers). If only filters cost that much, i believe the dear reader has got an inkling of how much my camera cost me... And how much Sony is profiting if i can get a discount of 60%.
Well. Moving on.
I'm moving house in about three days. I swear I don't ever want to move again, even though i probably will. Especially when your parents have the tendency to not plan everything properly and JUST BUY NEW CROCKERY FROM IKEA, DAMNIT (nope, I'm not consumerist, but having a homogeneous set of utensils is something I must be admandant about since moving to a new house signifies a new start). So yeah, logistical issues are my main grouch.
I've not packed either. There's just too many things to cope with at the moment. And getting tired and sleeping while reading the newspapers or Time magazine makes it worse. And makes me more guilty.
