My heart is in a poor state after all this
Death and the Ploughman may seem a pretty draggy affair but from an objective point of view, it would, I suppose, have a strong effect on people who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past. Im still inexperienced.
Someone mentioned about a prestigious scholarship holder not knowing where canada is. I felt repulsed then and I still feel repulsed now. Yes, he may possess superhuman capabilities in many areas, including the ability to lead us normal human beings effectively, and surely general knowledge is but 1 facet of intellect, which is in itself but 1 facet of a person's character, and surely such a display of idiocy would be confined only to the area of geography (that, I sincerely hope). But still... It's worse than university students not knowing who our prime minster is.
Elsewhere,
FRIEND I: 1 of my friends in OCS applied for a 5-month extension of his NSF term so that he can lead his men in Brunei.
ME: What!? Do such idiots exist?? [Splutter and cough] Hes crazy! What is the world coming to?? Does he have any idea what he is doing? Doesnt he have anything to look forward to in his life? Oh man...What men? Who cares about the men? Who would care?? Stupid. He should care about himself. Is he a man? Which decent man would even bother about HIS men? Hes not a decent man, I tell you. He only cares about HIS men. He doesnt care about himself at all. Stupid idiot. I cannot believe [and so on]...
FRIEND II: KC calm down. This is why are are not commanders.
Well anway, theatreworks has barred previous winners from entering this year's stupid 24hr playwriting thing. It's absurd. I dont think it's fair merit--past merit, at least-- should get discriminated against in such an exclusive way.

Don't you think people learn from their mistakes when they realise it? What's wrong with you? And I wonder if I should keep friends who insult my other friends for leading their own lives the way they want it. Dammit if I can't stand up for those I call my friends I would be bloody ashamed to call myself one of theirs.
Sorry, maybe I should have spelled out the word jest clearly for you.
Or maybe not because I dont see why apologies are needed for living in my own pathetic world.
