a day in the life of...

Well I just watched this video, and I have to say it's pretty addictive. The song and the colourful clothing just screams out: 'in your face!' I mean even though I don't speak one word of Korean, with the repetition of the word 'Lollipop', I've got the general gist of the song in my head. The fashion in the video clip was also extremely interesting and vibrant, with bright pinks, yellows, electric blues and greens. My opinion of this video and the song would have to be 5/5.

(The link on my TITLE of this blog is a link to the video clip 'Lollipop')

With that out of the way, I can finally rant about what I was meaning to comment about before I saw the Big Bang video clip. Now the theme today of friends. Friends help you through tough times right? And it's usually a general rule that you like to spend time with your friends right? Hmm... would it still be counted as friends, if you sever any contact with these said people during the holidays, and if you couldn't imagine you spending one whole day with them without your mind screaming "BORED". 

So anyways, basically what I'm really trying to say and correct me if I'm wrong is that I would rather spend time alone cooped up in my bedroom, than go out with my 'friends'. Right now, I'm really rethinking about the whole idea of sitting with these people at all. Though if I didn't sit with them, I'm pretty sure it would create conflict which is something I don't want. I mean yeah, a fight once in a while is healthy, but honestly gossip and all that kind of stuff bores me and I don't like the fact that most of the people I sit with are not able to control themselves when gossip surfaces. Upon being the station where gossip comes and goes (as a result of my class and my reputation as being a "Nice Mean Person" -- I'll explain this another day) I find myself almost always being grilled for gossip. I mean really, do you people not have enough things to keep you motivated, so you have to revert to talking about hurtful things that concern another? It really bores me the fact that the people I sit with gossip like old ladies, and I'm often the one who takes it in but then forgets it (I just sit there like a rag-doll).

Another thing that bothers me is the lack of intellectual evidence that goes through people's brains once the topic of the opposite gender seeps into the conversation (because unfortunately it always does). As once again, I always find myself in the same conversations and once again I think to myself "how many times can we have this conversation before you remember the details". Every time I see my 'friends' there's always the topic of boys, which rises to the surface and as a result of the desperate/gossip-ish looks that the people around me portray, which in turn causes my respect for them falls that little bit more each time. 

Now I know I'm being REALLY harsh on them, because there are a TON of things that they're good for. All of them have their positive aspects, and some more than others, but if they saw themselves through my eyes (being a casual bystander of course) they would understand why I'm showing this 'concern'. Maybe it's just my selfishness, not concern, after all most people think you're like the people you sit with. 

Edit: Oh and as a last note before I go have dinner, I watched The Dark Knight today. I must say it was quite a good movie, and they weren't lying when they said Heath Ledger played The Joker superbly. Yeah, I really liked this movie, full of action though at times I kind of got sick of watching something blow up. I also thought that Batman's spunky new suit was awesome! Gosh it makes me want to get one of those, but then again when the heck am I going to wear it out? Besides costume parties of course... joking joking. Overall, I would have to give The Dark Knight 9/10.
