obsessions!

Gosh, i've been really inactive. Blame it on Youtube, tests and...manga/anime!

okay, thing is. Everyone is bound to have an obsession at any given point in time, right? :D
& (for girls that is) we get all fangirly about it.

It could be a hot singer/actor, or some random guy, a book or a movie, a band...
like how most people are absolutely CRAZY over the Twilight saga.
Now, i'm not gonna comment on that. i read half of Twilight and i decided i wasn't going to continue for reasons i shall not reveal, in case i offend the fandom.
& trust me, nobody wants to offend fandoms.

I AM A SASUNARU FAN!! <3>
for those who aren't manga/anime ppl, it means i ship Naruto and Sasuke together, as a pairing. yeah. well, anyway, the SasuNaru camp is constantly at loggerheads with another major one, the SasuSaku camp. but ah well, who cares. it's all up to Masashi Kishimoto who he wants to pair Sasuke up with.

I am also a fan of a certain lead singer! I'm not gonna reveal his name because I'm fearing THE DAY. THE DAY is when 98.7 FM will say : "New Songs of the week ... XXX, (song name here) ".

After that, it's inevitable. That band will be on every magazine cover, in every top 10 chart, and their songs will be overplayed on radio. Umbrella and Hey There Delilah, anyone?

And, and, and! Girls all around me will talk NONSTOP about him. & i have this weird tendency to not love whatever everyone does...i've no idea why. maybe it's cos i tell myself that i knew abt the band first and thus have the rights to fangirl exclusively??

Note that millions of fangirls already exist on the other side of the world, where they hail. plus, they debuted like 5 plus yrs ago.

so, an obsession can pretty much consume your life. and make your friends annoyed, if you ramble on and on 24/7. but it's so much fun, & who has the right to make you stop?

GO ON & SQUEAL OUT LOUD!!!!!!! (:

Popularity is just a word

is it, really?

Having enjoyed VIP status on the bottom rung of the social ladder, I'd like to think that I know the answer. No, it's not just a word.

Till now, I struggle to understand why popular girls are called that, when in fact some people hate them. What do they have that sets them apart from the rest?

Okay, so they're rich. But I know people who are just as wealthy, if not more. & they aren't 'popular'. & they're beautiful. But by whose standards? I always say that everyone is pretty in their own way. & they are outspoken. Maybe that's why. I mean, c'mon, the wallflower or the life of the party? It's like asking a guy to pick either the model with legs to die for or the pimply, buck-toothed Plain Jane.

on Monday, I gave a presentation in History class, about my trip to the Dachau Concentration Camp. Before that, a popular girl (who doesn't like me thanks to a certain incident) went : "GO PEARL!"

If you, like my pal whom i related this little experience to afterwards, have been protected from the viciousness of school politics, and have been perched prettily on the almost-popular-but-not-quite rung of the ladder, you'd say:

"Wow! At least she knows your name!"

& you can naively go on thinking that it's something good, when it isn't. She knows my name thanks to rumours which aren't exactly nice. then again, are rumours ever nice? anyway, its purpose was to mock me and not to encourage me.

Many times I wonder why I'm not one of them. I could be. I listen to the 'right music', I buy cute/cool stuff, I watch the latest movies...

but no.
If popularity really were just a word, I'd be much happier. :/
