idiosyncrasies

it says in the papers today under the feature section that "blogging is by itself a highly idiosyncratic activity" (the star). liar. everyone's doing it, so i don't see how a form of public diary-keeping can be peculiar. if you wanna look at idiosyncratic then you should look at me. ok, enough self-deprecation....just kidding, i just feel like playing around with words now.

anyway today was a slightly better day for me, because i got enough sleep...yay. well, once again it's not as much as i would have liked to sleep, and believe me, when i woke up today and it was raining, i sure didn't feel like going to school that early (especially so since classes got cancelled today and the only reason i had to force myself out of bed early was because of a project meeting), but it was good enough to keep me from the long arms of physical and mental weariness.

and yes, i've kept myself away from stand by me at least for today (though it did pop through once in my head again on the bus til i shut it out) and i've got travis taking over. got their singles album and i'm listening to what i've been listening to this week on the bus. adding to my gladness is also the fact that i managed to get some work and stuff to do done...and that i got to get to know a few people better.

but....as i was reviewing the day on the way back, i still had that dissonance thing where god's telling me something in my actions is not right today. yes, i wasn't too pleased with that....i felt i shouldn't have been listening to some things, and i felt perhaps i should've said no. but how to go about declining it remains to be seen...cos the matter is not so easy to solve, not so easy to say the answer is "no" and that's it. nonetheless, today was much easier to handle / cope with, partly because i got enough sleep.
