Frictionless

            As I wait for this hideously snail-like Internet connection to link to my Friendster blog, I am typing in MS Word, trying to come up with an entry to describe how my day went.

            

            My day wasn’t that bad actually. In fact, these past few days have been so glorious that it seems almost selfish to acknowledge the fact that they’ve existed in my life. Forgive me for being such a skeptic, but I start getting seriously freaked out if everything goes smoothly. In Physics, there is this sort of law or theory or whatever that says any object will never run “smoothly” because of the presence of friction.

            And right now, everything is going well in my life and I’m just wondering: where on Earth is the friction? Where is that force that always pulls me down when I’m on a high? Because I can’t help but be wary, thinking that all this euphoria in me will boil down to nothing soon because of some unexpected phenomenon that will cause me much pain and suffering.

            Ugh. Enough pessimism. I’m just so happy now that I don’t even want to go back to my old habits of sulking.

            Anyway, let me tell you this uncanny observation I’ve come up with after hanging around with Virn and Jee Ann so much…

            Here’s the thing: let me tell you that based on what I’ve seen so far, I can say that engineers’ daughters are not normal people. I mean, my dad is a graduate of Agricultural Engineering and I’m not exactly what you’d call normal, am I? My friend Virn is normal – compared to me, anyway – but the fact that she’s a feministic man-hater at the age of 15 is kind of scary, don’t you think? And Jee Ann is weird in a good way – the way she eats the meat first when she has hamburgers for snacks, the way she stares of into space for long periods straight, etc. Oh, and did you know that Ma’am Maghanoy’s dad is an engineer, too???

            Okay, I shall not elaborate. Friends, it is up to you to understand what on Earth I’m yakking about.

            But you know, even though we’re weird, I still think we’re good people. We’re likeable and we each have our own distinct personalities to be proud of. Another advantage on our part is we’re totally serious about our future – we know what we want and we sort of know how to get it. We’re driven, we’re ambitious, and we’ve got the right to be all that! Tee hee!

            Sigh. I’m getting too sappy again.

            I’m on duty tomorrow so must go off and do other important stuff – ehem, ehem, find cute pics for my profile.

            Poof!

    Janine’s weird too! (well, she IS jee ann’s sister, after all)
    But I like her like that.
    And I’m not an engineer’s kid, but I’m weird!!
    Well anywayz, enjoy your euphoria!

    I hope your kind of weirdness applies only to offsprings of engineers…thing is, it must’ve been contagious…I am weird (hey, that makes three of us [Aimee too!]) after all, and my dad’s no engineer–although he’s brilliant at math…is there or is there not a connection?
    Never mind..yeah, like what Aimee said, enjoy..maybe you deserve it..you need a break.. Wheeeeee!
    Bye!
