Long-distance relationships
Do you think long-distance relationships work?
My uncle is staying with us for a few days and he brought me this gift. How kind of him.
On another note, my TMA for T175 is out and I took an A :-)
Wish me luck on my finals xx
This post is a random post, not a series of coherent thoughts
1) I got A for my TMA :D Still waiting for the other two!
2) I’ll start my finals on the 2nd of June, so I should be studying instead of surveying the internet.
3) I despise, despise people who mainly read books to brag about the act of reading, to use jargons and sophisticated terms to feel superior and especially those who read pop science and think they have become all of a sudden experts, hence, they’re on a higher pedestal, therefore they have the right the look down on you and be those egotistical close-minded pseudo-intellectuals that they’ve always been. Using “scienc” and “knowledge” to justify their prejudices.
4)I’ve been avoiding many of my old friends, especially the ones whom I met during my gap year. I have no idea why, but they remind me of painful/embarrassing memories that I wish to deal with on my own. A close friend of mine, had been calling me for a while then she sent a message telling me that she was worried and thinking I was ignoring her because she had done something wrong. I was ignoring her but not because she had caused me any harm, purely for a selfish reason: I need to be a lone to reflect on many things.
I mean this is why I took a gap year, to reflect on my life but I never managed to do it. Now, I feel I need to do it. I’m trying my best to fight my mental illness or live with it without any medication and even sort my life together.
Just watched a commercial that features a guy who I knew! Whilst, he and I were interested in each other, I rejected his proposal of going out with each other. I don’t seem to recall a specific reason, certainly it had nothing to do with him. I was quite fond of him, both of his personality and looks(he is half English, so he has such an amazing accent when he speaks English). I was going through a phase where I wasn’t interested in any, anyways, it’s definitely bloody awesome watching someone you knew/know on TV :D
It’s just not how I expected my life would be … I suppose — this sounds stupid, but I suppose I thought there’d be more of a narrative arc. A direction. A point. A sense that it’s not just a bunch of days piling up on top of each other.
The narcissism some of my straight friends have, thinking every lesbian, gay, bi, trans (anyone who’s not straight) will harass/flirt with them. Apparently, all of us are too horny and we cannot control ourselves when we are around them!
The real loneliness is living among all these kind people who only ask one to pretend!”

“Like a fairy!”
The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 10. The pictures came to the attention of writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who, as a spiritualist, was enthusiastic about the photographs, and interpreted them as clear and visible evidence of psychic phenomena.
