For we must all learn to howl.

It's been way too long since I last blogged (Xinyi please don't kill me), but it's really been because I've had way too much on my plate, sigh! - Photography 6 pictures of HANDS (due next Tuesday) - Journalism article on coloured contact lenses (due this Friday) - MMP blog post on managerial interview (due this Friday) WHY IS EVERYTHING DUE SO SOON?!?!?!?! Hello, dying here!! >:( In all truth, the only place I have the time to update is on Twitter, hahaha. That would only be because it takes me what, five seconds to type something out and post it! And it's so difficult to get my butt online to blog, too, because I've been running around like a madwoman printing notes here, tutorial sheets there, and filling up my lecture slides, and completing my tutorial stuff, and then printing my script for drama (I'm ASM, oh god), and then having to take note of who goes where and what everyone does. Good lord! I've been sleeping around 1am too, so I'm really ...

Yes, this is similar to Xinyi's post, and also of the same name. But I feel that what she brought up in her post was something worth sharing too. We are geeks, nerds, losers, whatever society deems fit to call us. However, I just wonder: Who decides who's a geek or a loser? Who are the people who set the bar? I'm a nerd and proud of it, but I want to challenge this label. Who decides the labels of somebody else? Not only that, but why are those who are labelled as 'geeks' and 'losers' always ostracised? What makes us inferior to everyone else who is deemed 'cool' and 'popular'? What defines what is cool and popular, anyway? Following the crowd? Participating in the herd mentality? Molding your own personality to fit what is deemed 'socially acceptable'? Our world is fucked up. So many people watch "Glee". So many people watch it, and love it, and yet they don't get the message that is fighting to come through to all of...

I just went to my blog. I swear I just went, and I saw this tag by Xinyi telling me to UPDATE and also to listen to ViViD, which is this Visual Kei band from Tokyo. Trusting her, I went on to YouTube. The moment I clicked onto the links, the only thing I could think of was, "Oh God, Xinyi knows me very well." I LOVE YOU, GIRL! New band to fangirl over~~~~~~ I haven't been updating at all because I have very simply been way too busy. I have loads of schoolwork to do, and there is the Dreams production that Teatro is acting in (I'm a mime! WHOOHOO :D) and there are also my personal problems that I need to handle. It's taking everything I have to listen to those around me who actually care about me and listen to their advice to stay strong and not give in to the voices in my head. I have to hang in there. Moving on, there's Dreams this Friday in TP Auditorium 1! Tickets are $6 each, and I know that's a bit steep, but rest assured that it is worth the pain....
