Pains One to Four
Friday, August 04, 2006
oneMy titi proposal was approved. While this is very good news, I also found out that the solution to one of my proposal’s kinks is to finish my screenplay in oh, say, two weeks. Yummy.
twoOne of my wisdom teeth is aching, making it difficult for me to eat and to smoke. I’m still not sure which handicap is the good one.
threeTomorrow is my grandmother’s big birthday bablooie, and I was designated by my mother to write something about my lola and read it out loud to the clan. Very reminiscent of Christmas family reunions when I was much, much younger and thought that using big words meant kicking ass. The thing is, I don’t want to read something half-baked and hypocritical out loud. I love my grandmother, but my reasons don’t exactly make for sunshiny birthday speeches, and I will have to write something safely pleasant. And the moment my relatives hear me saying something safely pleasant, they’d know something was up. The moment I get up from my chair, even. They won’t listen to what I’ll say, only to what I won’t.
fourA freshman girl tried to commit suicide in school today. She locked herself up in her car and slashed her wrists. Reason? A love triangle.
Now, I won’t comment any more on her reason. I’ll just tire myself if I do. I would, however, like to comment on her venue. A car in an Ateneo parking lot? Really?
Really? Come to think of it, though, you’d have to be pretty fucked up to actually go through with a suicide attempt, so I suppose choosing a
lackluster downright pathetic site to off yourself could match up with your shoddy logic.
But really. The parking lot? The guards probably saved her not just because they didn't want her to die, but because they didn't want her to die
there.
If you really, really, really want to kill yourself in Ateneo, though, (which probably means you’re willing to die for an ironic statement, something I would find admirable if you put me in a stupid enough mood) I suggest the first stall in the CommDep girls’ washroom. Now
there’s a pretty place to die.
