I have an essay due tomorrow. I hate that. At present, though, I am at work, and thus it is perfectly fine that I'm posting here rather than writing that essay.Yes? Because I can't possibly write an essay at work, can I? No indeed. And i would be too... sensible to start my readings, which I do, in fact, have here. Damn.
If I describe it as being "wanton", admit it, and move on, does that allow my non-reading-ness? Tough call. I mean, obviously I should do my readings now, but sod it all.
Anyway, Sam's party was on Sunday, and then he and Bec stayed at our house until 10 pm on Monday, so I blame them.
Feel like philosphising on the nature of *waves hand vaguely* ... stuff, but I can't think of anything. Rats.
What is it about people that leads us to obey magic 8 balls? Why are push-pops so much fun? What is the fascination with handcuffs which it seems we all contain, just barely repressed? (For those of you who missed the [perfectly chaste] conversation that this references, don't stress)Why is it that even the most sensible person, when idly toying with a pair, will inevitably handcuff themselves, sometimes to innocuous furniture, just to see what it's like? Why are the chains so short that it makes cage-matches of thumb wars near-scarring? Why am I dwelling on this? Why is it that people will be excessively grateful for small things, like a lift home from uni, and then completeyl fail to appreciate the gratitude required of them/us when someone really comes through for us? Why is it that some people are so outstandingly, surprisingly capable in stressful situations? Why are there not medals for those people, rather than just the staggered respect of bystanders? Why don't guys wear eyeliner all the time? Or tuxes? Or both? All the time? If someone could make them do so, would there be medals for them? There ought to be medals for them too. Why do pretty shoes always hurt to wear for any length of time? Why does my hair take so long to dry? Why has my post been reduced to a string of quasi-philosophical questions, boring to almost all readers?
Deep. Or just really, really, shallow.

Quasi-philosophical questions are cool :)
also rhetorical questions. unless you want answers... hmm...
superstition, nostalgia, novelty, and goodness knows, i don't design them. i hope you have benefied from my wisdom, i wasn't about to answer a whole posts worth of rhetorical questions (or merely philosphical, since i suppose you were in fact thinking about the answers). so, ah, yeah...
Oh I'll try I'll try, *kicks herself, ok ill do my assessment after this*
What is it about people that leads us to obey magic 8 balls?
Magic 8 balls are stupid, I'm still not dating Richard Dean Anderson yet :(
Why are push-pops so much fun?
Umm... I prefer sherbet and those tongue thingies
What is the fascination with handcuffs which it seems we all contain, just barely repressed?
Mmmm... haaaaaaaaandcuffs... yum!
Why is it that even the most sensible person, when idly toying with a pair, will inevitably handcuff themselves, sometimes to innocuous furniture, just to see what it's like?
Ummm... what exactly have you been doing my dear?
Why are the chains so short that it makes cage-matches of thumb wars near-scarring?
Umm. Ok.
Why am I dwelling on this?
*shrugs*
Why is it that people will be excessively grateful for small things, like a lift home from uni, and then completeyl fail to appreciate the gratitude required of them/us when someone really comes through for us?
Are you trying to suggest something?
Why is it that some people are so outstandingly, surprisingly capable in stressful situations?
Someone's not talking about me then *sigh* Because, they can take a deep breath, understand what needs to be done and does it.
Why are there not medals for those people, rather than just the staggered respect of bystanders?
Coz people care for fame and fortune rather than humanity. People are also too scared of doing something wrong. For example, if people knew I was trained for CPR, that I could/should perform it in the community. I wouldn't want to unless I was the very last resort, especially when the majority need a defibrillator, not just O2 to their brain.
Why don't guys wear eyeliner all the time?
Coz damn baby, they look hot! And they'll have us drooling, well it does accentuate pretty eyes :D
Or tuxes? Or both? All the time?
Coz the majority aren't waiters.
If someone could make them do so, would there be medals for them?
No.
Why do pretty shoes always hurt to wear for any length of time?
That's how life is, my dear.
Why does my hair take so long to dry?
*Points* Ha! Ha!
Why has my post been reduced to a string of quasi-philosophical questions, boring to almost all readers?
No, nto boring to all readers, some actually cwwwaaaazily attempt to answet these quasi-philosophical questions.
Hey, I'd missed these comments! yay! Especialy fo Pun, to whom, in the unlikely event that she rereads these comments now, I say that it was Catie who hand cuffed herself to our lamp to "see what it wouls be like". Heh...
