::309:: Gimme my coffee!
In a world that is; defined by Wikipedia, searched by Google and theme songs composed by Jay which would be added into your Itunes and updated to your msn alt alias, we are trying so hard to be the same now aren't we? Sure, that is nothing fresh out of the oven especially since we have all been wearing the same labels since we were able to afford them. If we are all indeed MacDonaldised, why are there still people getting paid for marketing, segmenting and convincing us into buying things that only we, the special ones, think we would need?
The fact is that we keep changing even in our own little self-defined social cast. The party girl stills party; yes, but breezers are now served in martini glasses and called cosmos instead.The neighbourhood boy has now indeed been around the neighbourhood. We feel the same but deep inside, we know we are as different as a bottle of chardonnay to a bottle citric vinegar. As much as we would like to keep to our pledge of BFF, how may of us are still best friends forever with our primary playmate? As a matter of fact, playmate serves a totally different meaning since we have been tainted by the world and payed our fair share of colouring it back.
I came to Aussie with a folder. Well a virtual one anyway. I carefully choose the contents to represent the different part of puzzle bits that formed up the masterpiece of, eh-hem, me. It was things that I believe in. People that made me,in both good and bad ways. It was a basically a digital, compressed lists of things that would basically make me dissappear in existance if the list were strike off.
It was Important.
After dramatically ending my last week of school, I look back at the folder while arranging my assignments and realised something shocking. Sure they are things that were still constant like my family, bros and girls but at least 40% of the list has changed without my knowledge. Even the way I read things and write is so different now. It was 1.5 years no doubt, but to be really technical, I was connected to them anyway. Just not socialising physically and boy look how far we have come. It kinda bugs me especially now that I am returning to a enviroment that is supposed to be old and familiar and yet so fresh and unknown. The scary bit is that I dont really care about what has change along the way. Gosh, Marvin has trade his English breakfast for a cuppacino afterall.
Anyway I should be writting about the rather awesome semester of Carins, hails, parties, night outs, reports and all the WAGs stuff, but hmm I cant really be bothered to.
If you should know you would know by now. If you don't,let's not pretend that you cared to yeah?
I'll be back soon and till then, lotsa love.
