What are Emos?
Thursday, September 6, 2007,3:38 PM
Everything seemed okay when I started out the other day
Then the rain came pouring down
And now I'm drowning in my fears
And as I watch the setting sun
I wonder if I'm the only one-Teddy Geiger,
"these walls"A lot of things happened today, how shall i begin?
I'll start off by saying that i had double english to begin with, and fortunately i haven't had a go yet. There were several interesting talks such as a
leprechaun one by nurul, one on
Paris Hilton by Maryam and another on
Emos by one of the malay guys in my class. Let me quote some.
"Emos are characterized by a layer of fringe covering one of their eyes (holds up visual aid) or hair covering the entire front of their eyes(hold up another visual aid). "(on this sentence, i quickly put my fringe behind my ear, to avoid being labelled this emo thing.)
"There are three categories of emos, first are the real emos who are actually feeling miserable, the next are the ones who are emo to be cool, the next are ones that just dress emo."
"And apparently it is cool to cut yourself, but personally i think it does just the opposite."
"You can find emos everywhere, primarily around the Gadong area hanging around in The Mall cutting themselves in a dark corner to release their pain."
"and there are several solutions on how to solve this emo problem. The first has already been done, people have been trying to make the emos think positive. The second, my own recommendation is to leave them be and let them drown in their own misery."
I tried my best to quote his heavy sarcasm. Oh well. There were some bits i didn't agree about: i think emos don't wear colourful clothes, they dress like goths, as dark as possible. And what about the skinny jeans? No skinny jeans because people might think you are emo?
Next was pe. My last pe lesson for the whole week. Swimming again.
Then there was chemistry, when we made our wonderful cold cream emulsions. Weiwen and I teamed up and made mango hand lotion. (it wasn't hand-cream anymore as it was overly watery) Then he made salad dressing to end the emulsions lesson. Classic emulsions are egg yolk containing things and things like mustard and detergent.
Then i went with Kyung to the canteen. And this is what we saw.
a snake wound around the roof beam that had come out, sunbathing and oblivious to the crowd that had gathered below it. For all you know, it could have lived there for some time, except that no one ever noticed and it kept itself in the little crevice in the roof the whole time, only coming out occasionally to sunbathe.
In DT class, i am now convinced that Microsoft Publisher hates me, it never prints anything properly. hmmph.
oh, i'm joining the duke of edinburgh thing, hoping to learn another language because it sounds fun. =) also, if i could i wish for someone to do netball with me..... any takers? There'll also be a casual clothes day coming up soon =)
