If You Were There, Beware

Recently I came across a really strange relationship between a friend of mine and a guy in third year that I don't really know. To describe this guy as a bit of an idiot is an understatement. He's an all round dodgy guy who's 'okay sometimes' (described by another friend). Any who, they've been friends since we all started our course and I think it was only recently that it became clear he had feelings for her. But she's in a long term relationship, a guy who recently came out here and started uni in a different course with the rest of us. Sheenal, who's been watching this all develop told me today that our friend had had a bad dream about how this guy was going to get into a terrible accident on his trip up to Canberra the next day. And she told him not to go, because she was that disturbed by the dream. Turns out, he did get into a car accident. A very bad one as well. The friend was telling us how he came to her door bleeding, and his face messed up. He had apparently taken himself to the hospital and spent all night there. Sheenal didn't believe that this was an accident at all. All she said to me was 'the lengths he would go to get her attention'. She called it a sick and twisted relationship without any humour and we left it at that. It made me wonder how far some people actually go to get someone else's attention.

Check Yo Self

Awkward Moment #7

My chemistry prac group joking around about looking dodgy at uni cause we're all ethnic.
Me: It'll be cause I'm Asian.
*laughter*
My Muslim friend: And I'd be the terrorist!
*uncomfortable silence*

[Side note: Are we becoming too PC?]

Bruised (literally, bloody pathologist)

I think it's the first sign of madness that I'm listening to classical music. Or that I'm sick of my music. I needed to relax because I just had a blood test and the pathologist was too busy moving around that she perhaps didn't notice that she had a needle in my arm and was RIPPING MY SKIN. It's all bruised with a red line because she was moving the damn needle around too much.

It's funny at what you notice about people if you stare at them for too long. Yesterday in a prac, we had to gather around a machine and I'd never seen my lecturer that closely before. He had this tuff of hair coming out of his ears. It was gross. It was as if there were two little bundles of furry monsters living there. I didn't realise people could have so much ear hair.

We also gave our rabbit away this week. None of us had enough time to look after it properly, so we gave it back to the friend who gave it to my roommate. I have doubts that he can take care of it properly either, so that's why I told my roommate that after he takes it back, I never want to hear about it again. I'm a cold hearted biatch that way.

Take What You Take

Today I had two real life tumblr moments. I was walking home in the freezing cold, wrapped up in a scarf. Walking home from my uni means that I have to walk through this shortcut, a path in between a football field and a wheat field. As I started listening to my iPod, ‘In my place’ by Coldplay came on and I looked to my right at the wheat field, and the sun was shining through the rain clouds where it kind of shone off the wet field, you know like how people do that triangle with their fingers in front the sun beams. And then as I entered my street, the grey sky had this massive bright rainbow, with a few sun beams and the song ‘Trouble Sleeping’ by The Perishers came on as I walked through the autumn leaf covered street. It felt like I was in a TV show for those few minutes and it was so bizarre. I think also the fact that I was wearing my new glasses probably made my senses heightened...everything was just so bloody clear. Is this how people with 20/20 vision always feel?! Living tumblr lives?!

I just realised the irony of posting about tumblr on blogspot....soz blogspot. I also wish I’d taken pictures of the wheat field/rainbow....but I do have this picture instead:

Drop It Like It's Hot

Question of the Week:

Why does our bathroom smell like fart every morning? The toilet doesn't even connect to it. Hmmm...

Sad, But Endearingly So

Whether it's a sign that I've come to a point where I've obviously gone too far in blocking so many people out, but lately I'm starting to decide whether I should try to make an effort with talking to everyone again. It's an unsettling feeling when I realised how easily I was blocking people out, and receiving a jolt of shock when I found myself thinking about blocking my own sister out. That's when I put my foot down, and thought that I'm becoming too bitter for my own good. And it's probably because I miss some of these people. Of course, I'd never ever ever ever like some of these people, with good reason. But there are people I have been unnecessarily cruel to. Have I been too quick in discarding? What would they think if I start talking to them again? Will they talk to me again? It upsets me, and it's cruel that I can only blame myself completely for it.
