(sometimes).
Most of the time, people can't act. That's why you see all those people who pretend like they're texting or taking a call when the situation gets sticky with their not-so-friendly friend.
Then you have those people who blatantly tell their partner/friend that they feel the situation's awkward. I remember I was sitting with Dan in a bus once, and after chatting for about seven minutes, I couldn't think of anything else to talk about. He too, became quiet. It was about half a minute of silence before he finally said,
"Why are you so quiet?"
"I... I'm thinking of something we could talk about."
B was sitting near us, and overheard what we said. He went,
"Oh my god, this is so... awkward."
Times like these are pretty o-kay for me. Because, me and Dan aren't really acquaintances, so awkward silences become normal.
But of course, you are sure to bump into someone you know but don't really know, say, on the MRT train.
Then, he/she will walk over to greet you, with a
hi and maybe a smile? After that, you ask about each other's totally different lives, of which both find difficult to answer because of the lack of common topic for discussion.
He/she then starts to (pretend to) text on the phone, while you look on, or look out of the train window, or even start "texting" too. Then when you're both "done", you'd have thought about something to talk about, like this really cute guy in your school, or this girl in his/her school you've heard about. Ha!
It's really amazing, how they depict life so differently on screens compared to real life. I watched Gossip Girl, and the way Blair and Serena greet each other when Serena first returns from boarding school is like... unbelievably fake, please.
Those who cannot act (in real life) or are afraid of confrontation usually do it through? Text messages, MSN conversations, et cetera. Breaking up with boy/girlfriends by texting, rejecting someone through a middle man, confessing to someone through the MSN...
So cliche, right?
Yes, but it really helps. Especially if you're one who needs about 25 minutes to think of a reply. Of course, I don't time my replies (like what Sam said), but I find it's easier and less awkward? And you get the plus point of lying without your blinking eye being seen! Purrrfect.
I did abit of lying today, which wasn't
really good but I suppose it helps clear things up, get things done, and though it caused for some dramatical issues, I thought it was o-kay. I mean, you have to be practical.
If you know you're not going to wear that pair of shoes, I don't think you should buy it, knowing that one day, one not-so-fine day, you'll throw away the shoes. The shoes will feel
so unjustified.
I'd rather go barefoot forever. Of course, I'm hoping forever could end now, but... I don't think so. Not yet, at least. I still want to have my share of fun choosing, choosing heels over sneakers, pumps over flip flops.
I need variety. I'm like this.
You can choose too, to like / hate me.
Might just be. I'm not perfect, though I really wanna be.
Let's do a cradle, shall we?
Anyone can get flat tummies, but it takes hard work to mold them into shape. (Y)
It's just like...
Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone to catch your heart.
For now, I just want all I can have. Yeah, including abs.
