Random Thought #16: The Gracefulness of the Awkward Turtle

I found myself doing the awkward turtle recently and it was unintentional. It’s funny seeing how we display our feelings subconsciously. I was taken aback because I didn’t want to be rude but man, this person was kind of making me feel awkward. It’s like “chut up!”

Other than that, moths have invaded my dorm. I used to be an advocate for moth rights because I understood them to be “misunderstood butterflies of the night.” The thought of killing them never crossed my mind. I would always grab a napkin, scoop them up and free them outside. However, when there’s a swarm that won’t go away and a low-tolerance for handling each and every one of them humanely during midterms week, priorities change . I don’t want them to eat my clothes or my sanity! I can see that the moth balls are obviously not working. Must add more…

I tried studying today in this heat which failed miserably initially. Before buckling down and doing chemistry, I played MGMT’s “Time to Pretend” on repeat all day. It’s a depressing song but it made me all fuzzy and introspective inside. I guess it inspired me to do my homework just so I wouldn’t have a dead-end job. Thanks MGMT!

Now if only money grew on trees. I’d water that plant everyday and not let it die.

Random Thought #14: Totally Not Kosher

 I started school again and it’s my last quarter as an ickle first year. Aw, quite momentous! It feels like forever. I figured out what I want to do so far. I’m going to summer school and for fun, I’m going to go to Comic-Con. So I have a basic idea on the courses I’m taking, where I’m living and what I’m doing. SWEET. When you figure out stuff like this, you begin to feel pretty happy. Am I right?  I know I did. So I decided to treat myself out by walking to OVT because I was bored of eating Summit food and I was really hungry.

So I go there and made my order to the most obnoxious student worker I have ever encountered. I couldn’t believe that my school hired this jackass who gives me attitude and questions what I wanted. How hard is it  to accept that I wanted a hamburger? Not only that, he proceeds to gossip in front of my face to his co-worker. What a douche. I don’t know what his problem was but the last time I was disrespected like that was in high school Grow the fuck up.

Unfortunately, OVT Douchebag wasn’t the only one who made me angry. On the way back to my dorm, I was crossing the street and see this really nice silver Mercedes-Benz convertible in the distance. I’m like “wow, such a glamorous car.” I look both ways and begin to cross the street. And you know what happens? The driver accelerates and comes close to running me over. Okay, first off, I had the right of way. Secondly, this Mercedes-Benz Bitch of Muir Lane proceeded to sneer at me as she passed me. Thirdly, just because you have a Mercedes-Benz does not entitle you to run over pedestrians.

That’s just not kosher! But you know what? Before, I used to feel hurt and dejected over scenarios these but I’m not. I’m looking forward to a lot of things and people like them are not going to deter me. 

P.S. I like WordPress’ new update. woot.
