Fought each other to possess it, Often blind to the light of the day
I realized that there's so much more left before things will be/stay/at least have some semblance of being the same as before. And as of now, it's officially failing miserably. I don't know why everyone's pissed off at each other.
I don't understand how people can complain that we're not caring about their feelings. And when we try to help they say we're sticking onto them and they get annoyed anyway. Or maybe it's just my self-contradictory view of that 'I'm always right'. Also, I dislike how some things are just the same way and I feel like I'm trying too hard and everyone else is not trying hard enough. Or vice-versa.
It's retarded how when I read non-fiction. people stare at me and give me weird looks that include 'WTF' and 'ARE YOU CRAZY', while when I read comics -- MARVEL comics, if I may add, not even DC, even though I admittedly do -- they give me the exact same looks too. And even when I read Chinese books. I mean, hello, what's so weird and strange about my reading choices? It's not as if they're extremely strange, a lot of people read them too. Like I was reading X-men and Spiderwoman and Thor and Killraven, which are all very common books! And I didn't even bring Metamorpho or The Atom to school. Also something very weird/strange!
You know how in the X-men movies they always call each other like 'Nightcrawler' and 'Shadowcat' and 'Cyclops' and 'Wolverine' and 'Storm' and 'Professor X' and et cetera right? Well, in the comics, they always refer to each other (when they're not on a mission, that is) by their actual names. Except for Rogue, because she doesn't have one that I know of. So it's 'Kurt', 'Kitty', 'Scott', 'Logan', 'Ororo' and 'Professor'. Yes, they don't call him with an 'X'. Also, chances are that Cyclops will be shortened to Cyke, and Wolverine to Wolvie. And it's weird how you never see Illyana and Peter in the movies! Or Psylocke.
And then Mr Yeo (yes, our Geog teacher) caught Julia reading the Spiderwoman comic 'cos I loaned it to her and then he broke off into this... I don't know what to call it, about some 80's cartoons. Because Michelle Lim said that she hadn't heard of Spiderwoman before.
And also yesterday was NEGC! It was weird. Because, I am S1TL1. Although I haven't been there for the first training session. Also, being M203 really sucks. 1. Power is only average. 2. RELOADING IS ANNOYING. 3. A lot, a lot, a lot of recoil. So! When we were doing defense, Michelle and I were in the building, then I got killed. Then Michelle started freaking and she killed the six people in the building who happened to chance upon her. Which is very o_o because apparently Louise shouted at us to GET OUT OF THERE but we didn't hear her and so poor Michelle was like: WHAT YOU'RE DEAD?! Then: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Then: OHMYGOD YOU MEAN I'M THE ONLY ONE. Then: OMG OMG OMG THIS IS SO STRESSFUL. Which was pretty weird.
I love you Marvel! Although, I wish you would come up with more of the X-men series sooner. And I wish Spiderwoman was longer. And I wish Thor was more exciting, not that it isn't already, but some characters are really way too minor. THEY SHOULD ENGAGE MORE OF THE MINOR CHARACTERS. And I want to read MTU and SVTU!
