Crazy, Mixed-Up World
It is official, my comprehensive exam is over! Pro? It's over! Con? Turns out I have a week of seminars after this, so it'll be like being back in school minus the assigments. I am psyched to watch V for Vendetta with Sittha, but between his busy schedule and my busy schedule...we'll see. I don't want to hold him back, that would be selfish of me. He can just as easily go with Alan or his secret girl/boyfriend or his other friends. On my "To Do" list right now is watching 2046 (grrr) and reaching my target of a thousand paper cranes (I'm on 850) as according to the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, once you reach this mythical number, apparently, something good will happen. I don't need something good to happen to me just about now. My life is fine; I'm content. It started off as just something to do and once I do something, I really like to finish it and perhaps, since my life is good, something great will happen to me (here's hoping I win the lottery). Last night I took forever to fall asleep, nerves about the exam mostly and because I stayed up late watching the Gilmore Girls and couldn't stop laughing over it. Rory's new love interest, Logan Huntzberger (what a great blueblood name) reminds me of...oh, darn, I'm trying not to obsess, but yeah, he reminds me of the guy who broke my heart. That same sort of cocky, cooler-than-thou attitude masking deep-seated insecurities, smart but not living up to his potential, funny but in a corny way. I know I should get over him, I know I should, no one understands why I can't, least of all me, but you know, life is crazy that way. When I had my wallet stolen, I went up to a cop, crying and a complete wreck and you know what he said? "Tough luck." Seriously. Whereas when I went up to the so-called "van mafia" don (the guys who manage the fleet of public transport vans), and sobbed out the same story, he opened his wallet and handed me a hundred baht. We are living in a crazy, mixed-up world. I'm just a little more crazy and mixed-up than most.
Final thought: Maybe the paper cranes will help with my sanity.

There's a legend that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, you're entitled to one wish. Or so the legend says.

I saw 2046...I thought it was very interesting. It kept me awake, anyhow :)
