Average. That's what i am, and perhaps that's what i will always be. Nothing more, nothing less, just average. And im fine being just average. Just. Average. I guess there was a point in time where i strived to stand out, a point in time where all i ever wanted to be was different, unique. But that stopped. Because it felt way better to be part of something, to feel that there was something out there bigger than me. I mean, at times it sucks to feel that you're so small and so insignificant that nothing you have done, or will ever do will have any effect on the world at all, and if you died, the world would still go on, like you never happened. But there's also a sort of beauty in that. To me anyway.
And i like to think that we're all average, and we're all normal people, but we all have our moments. Moments that mean nothing to one person but means the world to you. And we're all average, but somewhere out there, there's someone who thinks the world of you, there's someone out there who loves you for you, even though that's all you are - just average. I like to think that we're all somewhat different, but essentially we're all really the same. That's how i relate to you, and you to me. Because we're all the same.
Then again, everyone has different perceptions of what just average really is. But this is how i perceive myself to be, and maybe some of you may see it as kind of sad, for all i ever want to do is fit in with society, be one with the community, and just pass on without leaving my mark on the world. As long as there is one person that will think of me from time to time, thats enough for me.
And the one line that will always touch my heart,
Joe.
'Just hearing your voice makes it all better.'
Thanks for making me special in your life.

So i finally got around to watching,
And did it meet my expectations?
No.
It WAAAAAY surpassed it.
No.
It WAAAAAY surpassed it.
The movie had me both laughing and in tears, it was just *sigh*. Such a good movie. A good end to toy story, really. The part where they were all about to fall into the fire and they just all held hands, it was just ): together till the end.... and then, THE CLAAAWW!!
freaaaaak!! :D
And the ending where andy was introducing all of his toys to Bonnie TT i was just like AAAWW MAAAAAAN super touching... and then bonnie saw woody in the box and andy was so reluctant to pass woody to her, it was like *heartbreaking* TT
and then when bonnie waved woody's hand goodbye to andy it was just.. boo. there are no words. 'Thanks guys.' Boo. No words. but MAN! Buzz's spanish side was HILARIOUS.
*sigh*

Men from the boys - Tony Parsons
He writes about the pauses, the deafening silences, the times where you want to say something but you know you should not and so you stop yourself. The silences where you can hear your whole world falling apart and there is nothing you can do about it. How a small comment you make, that small comment that you did not really mean but said it out loud because you were angry and wanted to hurt the other can cause irreparable damage. How sometimes trying is not good enough, how sometimes love is not enough. The fierce love you have for your children, that burning flame in your heart that never dies out, despite everything. No matter what they do, no matter what they say. How everything has consequence. And how selfish a human being can really be, but it is hard to place blame. Everybody points fingers.
Man and boy was about everything coming together after everything fell apart. Like a jigsaw puzzle, piece by piece. It’s all difficult at first because you can’t really see the whole picture yet so you’re fumbling about trying to make the pieces fit at all the wrong places, and you don’t know where you’re headed to, but you know you’re going somewhere. And anywhere will be better than here, for you started out with nothing. Blank. Nada. And that’s the story. Father and son.
Men from the boys is the complete opposite. its like, a knitted sweater, a perfect sweater, just your size, your favorite color even and how one stray end gets hooked onto the fence while you’re exiting the house in a hurry, rushing to get somewhere and the sweater unravels. You never notice until it is too late, when you look down at yourself and go, OH CRAP, and your sweater is half gone. But you try to gather up the yarn and you try to save what is left of the sweater. Mostly, it is about unraveling. So this book was mostly pretty depressing. But still pretty good.
I much preferred man and boy though, perhaps because it had a happier ending. I like happy endings. Hell, im a sucker for happy endings. I love the way tony parson writes, how he capture the moments in between. It gives me that sense of realness, and I can really see the characters come to life. It’s amazing really.

BEEP BEEP!
So i went out for a run today with my dad. Haven't ran in SUCH A LONG TIME!! i mean, i can walk lots but running is different! So anyway, it felt SO GOOD to feel the wind against my face and feel like WHOOSH! road runner! BEEP BEEP! look at me! and zooming past all the vehicles that were stand still cause they were parked at the road side, but ah, a little make believe does nobody any harm, eh? *nudge nudge wink wink*
Im totally fit now.
Rawr.

Okay, so i lie. It was HOT, i felt NO WIND AGAINST MY FACE, and even if i did, i dont recall. YOU CALL THAT WIND!?!? shame! I felt icky, sticky, yucky (haha i sound like a kid talking about vegetables) and i could feel the beady sweat trickling down my back. And i felt like an egghead because i had my hair all tied back and my fringe pinned up. EGGHEAD I TELL YOU and then slightly like a horse too, because my ponytail kept swishing here and there side to side as if keeping the flies at bay.
But overall, it was pretty okay.
Going for a run again tomorrow (:
Going for a run again tomorrow (:
Keeping the parents company and getting strong ass legs that can kick unwanted strangers away. Oh yeah, BEWARE. I is awesome and teh powerful. =__=" well anyway, i wanted to update about my trip but theres just SO MUCH to write about and im afraid the time may have passed (as happened to the post on bali that never happened), we'll see. SO MUCH DRAMA! We'll see, we'll see *nod nod*.
Also, done reading Men from the boys, will do a short post on it tomorrow or something, again, we'll see. (: Will end this post with a short quote from Peter Pan, the part that makes me crack up laughing every time i watch it. Ending line is just EPIC. Gets to me every time. Me likes. Enjoy!

What's this I see? 'Tis the fair Wendy.
She's in her nursery. The window's shut.
I'll open it!
I'm afraid the window's barred.
I'll call out her name.
She can't hear you.
NO!
She can't see you.
WEEEENDDYYY!!!!
She's forgotten all about you.
Stop! Please! Stop it!
And what is this I see? There is another in your place.
He is called... husband.-peter pan, the movie
Next read : Freakonomics ;)
....aaaaannnd Touchdown!
And then i looked at her again and something deep inside me fell away.
Because I always think its bizarre - no, I always think that it is unbelievable - that you can love someone, really truly love someone, and then one day you do not recognise their face.
If you have loved someone, you would think that you would know that face always and forever - wouldn't you? Shouldn't every line on that face be stamped on your heart?But it is not. Your heart forgets.- Men from the boys, Tony Parsons (pg6)
