I know that by now, I should no better than to expect anything. And I know that all one can do is just deal with whatever comes (or doesn't come) our way. But that doesn't mean it's any less frustrating! And since no engineer has yet created the on/off switch for stupid emotions, people around me too, will just have to deal with my mood swings.
lol, I've been ranting a lot in the office these past couple of weeks. My fellow SAs have had to bear witness to the manifestation of little miss googly-eyed for one day and exchange worried looks with each other over why yati is smiling and giggling to herself again; little miss angry bitch who ranted and raved about some random insensitive bitch who made the mistake of incurring her latent and repressed wrath thereby unleashing the monster within... and i suppose today, they will have to deal with little miss depressed-though-she-should-know-better. I'm a whole Little Miss Series by myself. I should get t-shirts. Unfortunately, the ones I've seen cost waaay too much for any sane person to spend money on. As much as I support displaying one's identity on one's chest, I just refuse on the basis of principle to pay S$47 for it. Even if it was embroidered with mithril or gold or bird's nest. I say, for that price, you might as well read the expression on my face. hahaha... then again, maybe it's for people like that stupid dragon-wrath-incurrer (otherwise known as the subject of last week's Rant) who are unable to read people's expressions and react accordingly.
I wonder what life, what society would be like if one day t-shirts were invented that displayed the wearer's thoughts. Man, what a mess that would be.
I've been thinking a lot lately, about how one's self worth is contingent on technology these days. I once had a theory that people entered relationships (as in romantic relationships) for self validation and when they broke up, the pain and the mess were all in response to the shattering of one's validation and self esteem. If we finally reach the stage of confidence when we are so self-assured and confident that we don't need anyone else validating our existence... then I'd say men would probably be obsolete. Or more accurately, love would be obsolete. Relationships would be redundant. Or maybe they'll just evolve into something else. Let's face it... deep down inside, everyone is a little insecure. Everyone just wants to be loved. Sometimes it's amazing how much a little hug can mean to someone's day.
And yes, I just realised that I never followed up on my thought about the contingency of self worth on technology. oh well, luckily this is a blog post and not an essay.

But then, isn't friendship really just the same - other people validating your existence? Actually I think the best way to sum it up is that people do not want to be forgotten. No one wants to feel like when they die, no one will remember them.
Personally speaking, I think that it is natural for humans to dislike each other. At the end of the day everyone is looking for that special someone they can spend most of their time with, and not have to worry about the billions of other people they really don't have time for.
Hah and I found your comment about men becoming redundant very amusing, though you quickly backtracked on that. Relationships are not only between men and women :P
