Bored in The Land of The Lonely

She was a Loner,
Who sat in the class
With her head bent low over her words.
She was silent,
So quiet that none befriended her,
And they had since given up on noticing her.
She was strange,
The oddball and weirdo
To the others who had cliques.
She was different,
For despite her apparent hostility,
Her eyes were filled with untouched dreams.
She would float.
In her own world, she was usual,
And not a casualty of commonness.
Yet, who am I to say that?
I who have not seen her from afar.
I have tried to see her from within, but still...
Who knows her better - me?
No, though I am she.

(B.M. Tuition - 8:07p.m.)

You know, I can spend two whole years in a place without speaking to anyone? I did that in Sunday School and also in PBK. That's why no one remembers me, but I do them, because I spent all that time observing them in their snug circle of friends. Okay, I'm being unfair. I also have ZERO social capabilities - too often, I wish I knew why - which naturally contributed to my being weird and friendless at these places. You have to admit, though, that's quite an achievement. This might be a talent...
Will blog about more substantial stuff in the near future... :)

CEEEELLLLLLLAAAA!!! HIIIII!!!!Didn't see you at E.R.... (T.T), but, I hope you had a great time anyway, I did. Thanks for your advice. But I can't seem to be MYSELF when I'm with people, I don't even know who the true MYSELF is...an effect from being too NOT-MYSELF so often maybe. But, don't feel that bad for me, I'm kinda used to it now... which is actually very bad, come to think of it.. ha..ha...Oh, and thanks for the well-wishing for my exam results, but from what I've already gotten back, I am concluding that it will be one of my worst exams. EVER. The end. Hope you get awesome results in your exams!!!

Oh, and I like your blog a lot... sorry I don't really have time to read through it though; I have so little time for everything nowadays...*sigh* miss you
