Sitting here in the dark again..

Just finished my late night tv watching stint. It's been the same everyday for the past month now. That's how four meaningless weeks have passed. I discovered how small this world is. You really can't afford to side step. More often than none you end up in a pit, or if you're lucky, just a blockage in the drainage system.

So what do you do? Well, ideally you get out of there as soon as possible. By how soon is soon? Pumping out the dirt is no easy feat, least to say climbing of a pit.

I scared myself last night. I was again, typing in darkness thinking about silly things. What would it feel like to make contact with the supernatural world? I turned to the right and saw a face staring back at me. My heart stopped. And then I was alive again. It was my own reflection from the picture frame glass gaping back at me. So much for brave hearts.

I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson and browsing through my MSN contact list. Almost everyone is away. Those who aren't, I don't know what to say to them. But of course, not everyone who's away are really away. It's a habit/trend/fetish, whatever have you. I bet half the people are in front of their screens too. I wonder what they're doing though. Assignments? Homework? Writing like I am? Thinking about life?

I'm staring at my gmail chat list. Feels like I'm driving and halting in front of a traffic light which has malfunctioned. My status is Green online, Vasanta is Red busy and Ian is Orange away.

It's funny. I can go on like this forever. Talking about nothing. Nothing important to anyone else anyway. It's just one of my talents I guess. Talk about nothingness for a talent. :) Excuse the irony.

"I told you everything.. opened up and let you in" some random lyric blaring from the headphones..

What's for me tomorrow? I don't know about tomorrow. But perhaps the next day and the day after that.

Thursday - Lunch with Chunny at Pete's.
Friday - Lunch with Vera and Hwan at Taiwan Cafe.

All we can do around here is eat, or drink coffee, or drink tea.

Abbess, Abbey, Abbott - All monk, nun-related terms. Doubt they'll be in GRE but it's on the Collegiate Vocab list Ian sent last week. I'm used to useless stuff. They stick in my head somehow. And the important stuff, well, if I'm lucky, my head gets around them sooner or later. Sooner I hope. I don't have a whole lot of time left.

I'm rambling again. When will I stop? When I want to I guess. Maybe this is the right moment.

Ok I'll shut up now.
