Sleeping on Issues Helps

Okay, now that I've had a whole weekend to sleep on the stuff that happened on Friday, its time to clear the record properly and objectively on certain specific issues, because the writing seems to have ruffled a few feathers. Let me first say that then when I wrote all that stuff I was pretty uncalm, hence they are not entirely accurate. However, they will not be removed as they represent my feelings in that particular point in time.

I officially apologize as editor-in-chief of the Spiky Press, for my impulsive comments.

A certain person, name with-held upon request, thinks that the contents of Friday's article imply and insinuate against him. This however is not the case, as I was really unsure of the full details of the stuff. Any correlation is strictly coincidental. 

Please read Friday's article with more than a pinch of salt. It is very biased due to an imbalanced state of mind.

Now on to other matters. Andrew has went and got berets for both of us, which is a nice gesture which I appreciate the trouble. Thank you very much :) I will still need to go get the cap badges though.

Moving on, during Lang Arts on thursday, we went through a poem that I think reflects how I feel:

The feelings I don't have I don't have.
The feeling I don't have, I won't say I have.
The feelings you say you have, you don't have.
The feelings you would like us both to have, we neither of us have.
The feelings people ought to have, they never have.
If people say they've got feelings, you may be pretty sure they haven't got them.
So if you want either of us to feel anything at all
You'd better abandon all ideas of feelings altogether.

--D. H . Lawrence

Did I mention that Lang Arts lessons are now so much more entertaining. The class has started bullying Fiona Ho. For this poem, some people were laughing about the fact that the poets initials were DHL, the delivery service. Ms Ho didn't get the joke. She looked lost. 

I discovered why they kept laughing about Pho. I thought that was vietnamese noodles, apparently they spelled it as FHo. Short for Fiona Ho. She didn't get this one either. Lolz :)

We did this poem too on thursday - Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 18 (sorry, its easier to write this way than XXVVIIXVXIVXVX etc.......)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of Maie,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Joshua volunteered to read it and he made a joke out of the whole thing. Dimm'd was purposely pronounced dimdee. Grow'st became growsted. Ow'st became ousted. It was hilarious, and Fiona Ho's expression was priceless, she looked like she was going to faint. She tried to ignore the peels of laughter :)

Then she asked what can we tell from this poem. Then Jeremy said "Shakespeare can't spell". And she scolded Jeremy, and Jeremy just laughed at her. It was unimaginably funny, I was in peels of laughter, which I didn't try to hide, cuz I tried earlier and couldn't. :) Wonder what she thinks, a prefect and her chairman laughing at her. Lolz :)

Its hilarious how we ruin her notion of "beautiful piece" of writing. We also suggested explicit connotations to certain poems. I tell you the look on her face is priceless :)

Today's Lang Arts was pretty funny too. We were doing "The Little Black Boy", something about "beams of love" and how it causes stuff to grow metaphor thingy. Joshua was like "And cause them to grow big, very big" Fiona Ho was like "Yes we know that Joshua, you don't need to tell us that" I don't know how to do her facial expression. Its just hilarious. :)

And when we got to the part about "Lamb's rejoicing", lots of people were making baa noises. It was soooo funny her expression. You must make it a point to see in in your lifetime. Its that "unique".

Looks like Lang Arts' gonna be fun this year.

I have been busyfied once again. I'm double-booked tomorrow, something that never fails to happen. I need to be in two places at the same time. I need Hermione Granger's time travel device. In fact being triple-booked is not unusual. Design homework is due tomorrow. Life Sciences Symposium energy competition trial (wish me luck :) )is tomorrow, I'm all over the place getting materials.

I noticed that I have never tried to control my feelings. If I get upset, that kills me. If I don't like someone, I make it very clear. The only feeling that I hide, is when I like someone. Maybe because I'm scared of being rejected. Maybe one day I'm gonna have to learn fight my emotions down.
