milhouse

i feel so guilty. you know how on TV you see characters like milhouse from the simpsons who are virtually blind when they lose their glasses? and like you laugh when they wake up and pat around for their glasses or when they drop them and step on them while looking for them or something?

well, i was one of those people who laughed to myself.

after all, i thought, that's so exaggerated - i mean it doesn't happen in real life.

... or does it?

i'd just finished english and was walking along the corridor to commerce class. patting my head, i noticed that my bobby pins were still in after finding my fringe irritating. my glasses were also still on! i must look like a real dork. so i removed my glasses and put them in my glasses case. with my glasses case in my right hand, i undid my bobby pins with my left. the one on the left side of my head ... the one on the right and the other one on the right. but while doing this with two other bobby pins in my hand, i felt that feeling that something slipped out of my hand and thought i heard it hit the floor and that little vibration as it hit the floor (upon reflection, i doubt this really happened. i mean feeling and hearing the bobby pin hit the floor amongst a busy corridor with around 50 girls? unlikely. but still, i thought i heard and felt it).

so, naturally, i look down to find my bobby pin. AND I AM MET WITH A HAZE OF PURPLY GREY BLUE! the walls are light blue ... the carpet is that purply bluey grey like a cross of these:

yeah. well. all of a sudden i was in an 'OMG MY EYESIGHT IS THIS BAD!?!?!?!' and that whole sudden realisation, tears-run-to-eyes thing where im like WHAT HAVE I DONE??!? and i knew that if i bent down to find it i would have to pat around for a bit cause i like to wear glasses at the dinner table to see the food properly.

and, automatically, i paused and just stood there. pretended like i was waiting for a friend. and i was jamming up the corridor, but anyway. then i pretended i was like OH maybe i should put my glasses on. so i put my glasses on slowly like i wasnt doing anything weird. and then i pretended i just dropped something and bent down to pick up my bobby pin. it was right next to my foot.

then i walked to commerce. i now will never laugh at milhouse again.

deeeep conversations

well, not really deep. more like immature, naive me :)

haha today went out with louisa and maggie to carss park for the third time this holis, and apparently we're going out together again on monday if it isnt raining lol =/

today we didnt do much at the park, especially cause my mum said not to expect to do anything cause it rained and the grass was wet. before maggie got here louisa and i walked around and talked about our plans for the future :D we talked about how both our carbon footprints were enormous, how louisa wanted a green home, how i'd like to sponsor a child through world vision and get my kids to do so too, etc. but when we went back apparently our parents went looking for us, meh. then we kicked a soccer ball around for a bit, but ended up playing big 2 (i came second woooo - i usually suck at it *cough* especially when louisa's family's around *cough*) and cheat. yeah, i totally lost cheat.

then we went to hurstville to eat dinner together at that meridian hotel place, and maggie and i just talked about how we'd like a boy to confess their love for us :) haha it was entertaining, we were imaging guys playing the guitar and singing (maggie said: 'only if he has a good voice!') and how it would be awkward if he wasnt implying it and caught you off guard, say when you're eating a hamburger or pizza. cause you're all like hands on and weird and awkwardified, and you cant get away with small gestures cause you have to eat your burger and stuff. haha, it was interesting. but then we became old and reminisced about our childhood crushes and talked about them - twas entertaining yet struck a very nostalgic string within each of us :(

yeah. and i was meant to start commercing or rapping like ... 50 minutes ago but i suck and procrastinated and thought that mug cakes needed an oven. and then i realised that that wasnt right (you know ... correlation between cakes and ovens?) and googled it to check ... and yeah.

hope the remainder of your holiday is enjoyable! >==>
p.s. that was a fish. i was just wondering if i could draw a fish.
