Disney repression

The people I have come into contact with recently have provoked me into raising my spikes and entering into a claw-sharpening cum slashing frenzy. (Apology for the mixed metaphors. I have created a monster for myself to morph into, and for you to visualise.) These people come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes I wonder why I get so worked up. I mean, I can just bitch about them on my blog and forget all about it right? (This is totally un-Christian. Indulge me and pretend you never saw this and please don't call me 'repressed' to my face.)

Sometimes I think I let these people irritate me for the purpose of entertainment. You'll really never run out of conversation topics this way. But most of the time this irritation is superficial. I feel irritated when I want to feel irritated. It's like willing a mosquito to bite you when you want to scratch.

ok that came out weird.

Anyhow, in the course of interacting with these irritants (well not 'interacting' as much as sitting someplace trying hard to emit 'go away' vibes), it really made me appreciate all the wonderful people around me - the people who put up with my incoherent rants and who take my mind off all the bad things in my life (by telling me the bad things in their lives).

(This sounds like it's going somewhere Disney-esque. I see the Carebears floating down in their balloons.)

And at least you know that when you're irritated and feeling irritated at being irritated, you're still alive in this screwed up world, and everything/everyone who comes along and makes your day a bit better, you appreciate so much more.

There's too much to write about, too little time, too little energy considering the fact that exams are looming somewhere in the not too distant future.I don't know why I'm not feeling a sense of urgency at all and I don't know why I ended up wasting blogging time on something so trivial. (Then again, can blogging ever be on things 'not trivial'?)
