Painkillers

Things get worst before they get better, right?

So my tooth is almost done swelling, so it's relatively pain-free. I still have to watch what I eat and I probably will have to, for the most part, for the rest of my life since my two front teeth are unstable now.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to watch Inception alone. That was the first time I've been to the movies alone. I didn't really want to go, I wanted to wait for a friend to free up some time to go with me. I heard it is the type of movie that you would watch to talk your hearts out after you watch it.

But I had a friend tell me that it's perfectly fine to go watch it alone. I was kind of shocked only because for me, going to the movies alone equates LONER written in huge block letters on my forehead. But... I couldn't wait any longer. No one was free. Or everyone who was free had already watched it and they wanted to watch something else with me, so I decided to just go watch it alone. IT WAS SUPER AWKWARD. I had like a group of guys beside me on the left and a group of girls on my right, and I was one seat apart from them on either side. They kept on looking at me like, "Are her friends coming?" Because you know how like... there's always a one seat gap between each group of friends at the theatre so no one has to ever sit RIGHT beside a stranger? So if I had 2 friends come, they would sit on either side of me and that means that the two groups would be sitting right beside a stranger. Get it? So they kept on looking over and I was wanted to tell them, "Geez. No one is coming! I came here alone! OKAY?!"

And beforehand, a friend was like, "Yo if you watch the movie and you don't get it, it means you're stupid. Stupid people won't understand the movie." That's her response to my, "Is it confusing?"

So I guess I was glad that I went alone, I would have no distractions from my friends and I could fully concentrate on the film.

Overall it wasn't too bad. I understood most of it, I got the overall concept but there were minor details of the film that really stumped me. I guess I'm not smart enough to understand the film as a whole. This is so different from what I'm used to watching. I get the entire concept of the movie... what happens in the middle of the movie, like their adventure plan and goal and how they are going to solve it... but there is the occasion detail that ties the whole story together that I don't really get. I asked some friends but everyone is kind of like, "It's okay. That's not important." ...........?! OKAY?!

I finished exams. Feels a little anti-climatic to me. I'm still stressed with all the home errands that I have to do... seriously, why can't things just happen the way they're supposed to happen?

I feel inclined to move to livejournal... I've been really tempted this past week. I have moved to livejournal before but it's so complicated... and they don't have all the functions that I want... but I LOVE the community there. Blogger is kind of lonely but it's so easy and convenient, it's going to be hard for me to decide. I might just stay with blogger just because livejournal, the entire layout itself, is really messy and disorganize. The last time I got livejournal, I think I made like 3 posts on it before I gave up trying to make the whole layout really sleek. BUT THE COMMUNITY ROCKS. Sigh* The tradeoffs in life. Why can't we just personalize everything? And get everything the way we want it?

HMMM... the rest of my summer... probably tidying up everything and finishing all the things that needs to be done at home before I move out. I don't think I'm going anywhere... not anywhere far anyways...
