omt haven't been here for the longest time
how're you all doing! xDanyway i haven't had anything specific to talk about for a really, really really really long time simply because LIFE HAS BEEN FREAKING AWESOME AND I HEART HEART HEART MY CLASS and everyone in the school i talk to. (((((((: they are all so easy to love sometimes they really really render the concept of ethical egoism irrelevant, because you genuinely want to see them happy and you'd go altruistic for it. xDDDDDD (not that i'd achieved the nirvana of altruism yet though; working on it ^^)
and i WOULD complain about the knee-which-i-can't-bend, the one that i scraped while trying to save myself from falling after a skid on the pavement on a wet morning and stubbornly refusing to let go of the stuff in both my hands to break my fall and ending up doing this really cool dance-ish one-kneed dash on the floor, 'cept that it was the pavement i was scudding over and my knee was clad in wimpy bare skin which all tore apart and stuff and up to now is still oozing pus, and is being perpetually agitated by extremeeeee cca!dance moves and accidental kneeling-on-the-wrong-knee incidents, and is really
one big hilarious farce, but i think i'll save you the pain of reading about such mundane woes of the flesh and move on to PUBLIC TRANSPORT.i swear public transport is the EPITOME of day-to-day civilian politics. first of all you learn that ultimate punctuality is not determined by the numbers on your watch, but is dictated by the presence of certain particular persons appearing at THIS particular time standing at THAT particular door, and this is where AD POPULUM is
law. next, every morning a regular public-transport-commuter will negotiate the complicated and delicate procedures of fitting oneself onto an unevenly crowded train, achieving just the right balance of aggression and courtesy required to find oneself a space in this heatedly competitive and physically constrained community, and hence get on with life or the nine to five or whatever. everyday you will meet with different diplomatic obstacles - chain smokers breathing down your face, well-covered people creating manoeveurability problems... the regular commuter will be forced to use Skills to avoid direct confrontations while maximizing personal comfort; turning the head just so in
this casual manner to reach a pocket of nicotine-free oxygen, achieving stability on the perilously rocking train by fitting one's foot into such niches on the floor while holding the upper body still so as not to aggravate the problem of spacial shortage already compounded by the presence of aforementioned well-covered persons and so on. :D this, of course, is all carried out while negotiating the PHYSICAL tricks and sneaky jerks the train loves to make on a regular, predictable basis (to the veterans, that is), compensating by using muscles you never knew you had to attain the most impossible victories against inertia and centrifugal force, but rewarded with the satisfaction of an elegant upright position which defies all laws of Physics.
honestly.
life happens on trains. albeit on a miniscule, accelerated scale.OKAY GOTTA GO SEE YOU GUYS xD
