Alright, so many things running through my head now so I should note them down! One second.

Was thinking about this line from Daughters which goes something like boys you can break, boys will be strong, boys soldier on etc. Why can't girls do that? Isn't that what we've been doing all this while? Isn't that what I've been doing all this while? Sometimes together, sometimes not.

Today we went to Borders and then to Fish and Co to eat! History Boys was so good. The guy didn't even ask for any ID, so I guess I must be looking pretty old huh. Auntie Dina was commenting that I was kind of like Dakin, haha. Ohohoh, I can't explain it. Go watch the show! It's so sad. However, I strongly advise that you be a history student to watch it, because there are some historical references that you may not recognise (and hence not understand). If anyone wants to watch, tell me! I'll gladly watch again, but only if it's in a GV cinema, because I have a voucher (: If I had to write a whole review on History Boys, there can only be one thing that I promise: you'll be intrigued. Also, it's sad, but not really a dramatic kind of crying sadness, but more a deep, aching kind of sadness that you feel for the characters. (Really? The characters?) I would love to have the transcript. I liked one thing that Richard Griffiths (Hector) said in the movie about reading. It was about the key moment in reading, that when you're reading, and you've been thinking about something for the longest time, and suddenly it's there, only in someone else's words. It's like someone reached out their hand and grabbed yours. That was cool. Then again, there were many things he said that I would have liked to remember. I'd love to have a teacher like Hector, pederast tendencies and everything included.
It kind of reminded me about the things that you see in other people - only, unacknowledged things, and that imaginary hand reaching out to squeeze your imaginary heart. No, but maybe it doesn't reach for you, instead, you reach for it. But if only other people knew that you knew, you know? But sometimes it's also a lot more complicated than that. Haha.

Oh, and I liked the bits about subjunctives, about how they entertain the possibility of everything. Yup. Just go watch it.

Maybe art is a poor imitation of beauty. Art meaning visual art/writing/music etc. I mean, in doing art, the artist is presumably trying to capture something?! I don't know, I don't do art - perhaps they have other motives. As in all description, one does one's best to, you know, accurately depict a certain image or convey a certain message, but then some things are really beyond description, so what do you do with these things then? You can talk about the wind/write about the wind, but no one will know what it's really like until they've felt the wind or tasted the wind. Ororor maybe there are things that words cannot do justice to, like the thrill of a freefall or the rapture of a kiss? Really? How you describe uncertainty. I can't do this. Too messy.

If you expect something to hurt, and it doesn't, what do you make of it?

(:

- many things
