Goodbye, earthlings
On Friday, I had a very strange nervous breakdown in the canteen during break, hahaha. Part 1 involved flipping my 5-rand coin from South Africa repeatedly for erh reasons that will remain undisclosed, but I was trying to reach a decision, yeah. I flipped it, Deb Theseira flipped it, Rachel flipped it, and it came up heads 7 times in a row (until Ellie managed to flip a tails, but i'd already gotten the message by then so, haha sorry Ellie!). Heads ah, remember. Part 2 involved going crazy and repeatedly saying, "I'm mad! I'm mad! Nothing makes sense! Life makes no sense! I'm mad!". Sorry Rachel, for going bonkers on you, hahaha. I told you I'm mad.
Anyway, straight after my canteen breakdown, I went for Lit class and Mr Woolhead gave us an unseen play excerpt. It was theatre of the absurd ("I'm mad!"), existentialism was mentioned in the lesson ("Life makes no sense!"), and the piece de resistance: the excerpt was about two Elizabethan men tossing coins which repeatedly came up (surprise surprise) heads.
I told you. ... I have strange prophetic nervous breakdowns!!! D8
But gosh, yesterday I was in a really bad mood. Ok yeah, I am perpetually in a bad mood, but yesterday really was a sucky day. Thank God I had Rachel and our NYNY lunch/dinner with Addy after school. Wah, therapy. The best kind is administered by like-minded friends :) Addy, it was fantastic to see you after so long! I can't wait to visit you back next year when we embark on our epic backpacking trip, haha! Rachel, you need to rant more. I know I rant a lot and don't seem to get any saner, but really, ranting does help a lot. And you are always welcome to rant to me cos even if I may not understand everything, you know I will always be more than willing to help you beat people up or come up with cheem phrases for your GP essays :D
There really is no point in letting it get me all angry and stuff. I don't even know if I'm fully justified in feeling that way, but I do know that in any case, it really isn't worth all this rubbish. People change. I should've realised that a long time ago. Well. Maybe it's time I made naivete conspicuously absent from my cv too.
