Being clever can be a real pain at times.

Because it is so easy to tell love and lust, wants and needs apart.

Or who I want to be versus who I am able to be.

Or to know that something cannot be changed. Is going to happen. Is going to end.

You do it so suffocatingly easy. Perhaps even without thinking.

That's why you get so calm, so composed. And become so "rational". Bit by bit you move away from the very colourful emotions in life. Maybe not because life is dull, you're just not surprised anymore. Not by what you saw through. So clearly that it pains to know.

But if you're me, you'll grow to love the peace in this. To recognize and treasure the things dear to you. Feelings, people, places, objects. Once identified, you don't hesitate anymore. Not like those half-hearted humans.

This is your life.

Still you understand that you don't get things right all the time. You're not that great a person.

Just prepared. All prepared.

At the age of eighteen.

In Screenplay & Scriptwriting, we are taught to know our characters more than we know our best friends and hence the above for my female protagonist in one of my story ideas. Which is very much based on my personal sentiments heh. But of course I'm no more eighteen lah. And the real me would also like to add:

By being rational I rarely get myself into trouble in almost every aspect of my life but nowadays people love novelty and unpredictability so much that they tend to think of people who refrain from recklessness as boring and dim which I'm not a bit ready to accept.

lol.

When I finish all 5 story ideas I shall post them up for y'all to guess which'll get picked for my screenplay assignment. But really, we have this maximum length of 8 lines for the synopsis. Not enough to communicate the central theme, just enough to summarize the plot.

Due to personal preference, my protagonists are all females with strong characters who I tak sanggup to kill all the time (unlike my coursemates). Though pressuring it's actually quite interesting to come up with stories every week. Reading other people's works is entertaining too. Like the one Pikachu came up with, we all laughed like hyenas at the first sentence when I read it out loud. But I'll not bring this up due to the sensitivity of the topic. *cough*

And in Multimedia Tools For Advertising we are basically taught to draw using Adobe Illustrator. My first artwork, for the "robot" homework (please don't laugh):

I name him Ribena.

DAMN LOUSY RIGHT. I SWEAR I CAN DO 100X BETTER USING THE HANDS. OMG.

Then I freaking have to redo my greeting card because I freaking screwed the tracing. ARGH.

Off for some rest.

Looking forward to dad's return with chocolates and souvenirs. Hee.
