rain on me

What are you ashamed of?

Something that really bugs me is people hiding their relationships from everyone, even their own friends. It gets to the point where when asked about it, they outright LIE. Lying is never good, equivocation is fine, but NEVER lie. What are you ashamed of? If you really care about this person then why are you hiding it? You don't have to get into the nitty gritty, just a heads up would be nice so I know when to stop flirting you/your man. Just kidding. Maybe it's an Asian thing. I've come to realize that Asian people are often very secretive. I think I am just sad someone I think of as a friend sees me as untrustworthy.

I had a grand total of THREE periods today. Chinese! I got 9.5/10 (29/30) for my listening and responding SAC. Double chemistry was a mixture of hazy boredom and a few laughs. Mr Seago can be a pretty funny guy when he wants to be, most of the time he's just lame and everyone gives him a pity laugh.

Seago - "Tetra means four, hence tetrahedral. That's why Tetris is called TETRIS, because each shape has four blocks in it"
Mouse - "The T doesn't have four blocks"
Class: *launches into class discussion of the technicalities regarding tetris*
(Yeah that's Tetris the game)

Seago - "What's redox? Apart from a sunburnt cow"
Class - *Vikram laughs* everyone else stares blankly until they finally get it.

Seago (making model of triple bonded molecule) - "We have ourselves a few gay 007s"
Someone - Bonds, geddit? BONDS!
Someone2 - "Why are they gay?"
Seago - "Because they're all bent"
Class - HAHAHAHAHA
Seago: "There you go, politically correct chemistry"
(if that isn't funny, or you don't understand, the only thing I can say is "you just have to have been there")

I think it's all the rain which is making me sad. Such a dark day, no sunlight! The tree outside my window just a skeleton, all the yellow leaves are on the ground. I walked home at the start of lunch today because I spent my money on food before realizing I needed to buy a bus ticket. On the way, I got scared because someone kept looking and following me. Granted, there wasn't anywhere else he COULD walk, being on a footpath and all, but I have an unwarranted fear of stalkers. I have never been stalked but I am still terrified of them.

Anyway, I was leisurely strolling along, swinging my bright yellow umbrella, looking at the clouds and listening to music when the wind blew hair all over my face. So I turned my head around to flick it off and this someone was walking behind me (someone I know). Man, I thought he was going to stalk me all the way home so I walked faster. Then HE walked faster. I didn't even know he was next to me until he said "geez, you're mean". Then I felt like running away but I didn't. I just let him walk beside me until I saw Lina's dad going into a house I presume is Lina's house. I slowed down to see what the house looked like and he kept walking. "Strange actions for a stalker...maybe he's not stalking me" I thought...so I slowed down and let him walk ahead.

I have just had a REVELATION! I know why I like walking at the back of a group! So I can see what everyone is doing so nobody can spring a surprise on me, and I like walking by myself.

Back to the story. He kept turning around to check how far behind I was. Man, talk about creep me out! I thought he was going to come and attack me. I think maybe I'm a little bit too paranoid. He went to the library and I just kept walking. I kept checking over my shoulder just to make sure. That is the story of my paranoia.

On the way home, I sat in the park eating my lunch and watched pigeons, clouds, the dried up lake and the man that ran around in circles.

The end.

With love,
Mel

Pee.ess - That is a true story. Fairy tales don't have stalkers in them you idiot.
