and rush i shall. my internet times out at roughly 12.30am so i must not falter. it may go out very soon. i don't want to resort to publishing this in the morning.

read a book just now. it's a compilation of short stories, about kids turning thirteen. well it was interesting, to a certain extent. but then again, these are stories. about things which will so never ever happen if you are a normal human being.
thirteen is a big number. some kids don't even make it past twelve, but if you're living in the poorest regions of Africa i guess that's alright. anyway, most of the stories are about the kids experiencing love and relationships and "feelings for one another" for the first time. why is that so common in stories? and why thirteen? i know it signals the start of being a teenager, but it does not always happen at exactly thirteen years of age, on your thirteenth birthday. i know these writers are good and all, but these particular stories are a bit... well, i guess they're stories, so it's excusable. just not believable.
makes me think of my own thirteenth year without falling off the face of the Earth. wait, if you have your birthday on the 29th of december, does it make 2005 my thirteenth year, or 2006? sigh. problems again. people born at any other time of the year don't have this problem. even in november. your n-th year is still that year in which you're born. it's only towards the end of the year, past 21st december, where the problems start. but then again, anytime before or on christmas is not that problematic. things like being born on 28, 29, 30, 31 of december, now that's a difficulty.
hey, not to say i'm complaining or anything. but to be disadvantaged always makes one feel resented.
i hope no one reads my blog. this was supposed to be a personal blog. for the reader to know more about the author's life. but recently, or as far back as maybe march, nothing much has come from this so-called author. just bits and pieces of my thoughts and feelings that i just had to express out in words. even i myself don't read my own posts. i don't know if that's a good thing or not. somehow i feel like it should be the way. but then again, i'm not supposed to be like any other person, generic or otherwise.
i love this blog, and the one before, more than anything or anyone else in the world. the first blog has been with me since MAY 2005. yes, MAY 2005. and i left it for this blogger one, as in officially left it, in november 2006. and now this one took over the famous-to-only-one-person URL of "nlay".
oh my god. nostalgia. just took a whiff of life three years ago, and boy, was it great then. i can almost feel the sense of carefreeness and happy-go-luckiness that emancipated then... but wait, it was typed by me after all.
but anyway, this blog has gone through more ups and downs with me than the previous one. this one took me through the transformation of short-pants-wearer to long-pants-wearer, through sec 2 to sec 3, through taking every single shit subject to the seven i chose myself, through the joy of finding love, through the bitterness of drifting from a close friend, through the heartbreak of heartbreak, followed me down to the lowest point in my life; e.g. the emo period, back up through the recovery stage, sided me through every topsy-turvy issue since then, and now, supporting me in my most muddled state of existence. for this, i am grateful. eternally grateful. just too bad i can't give it a hug.
loving a chunk of data might sound weird to the majority who thinks sensibly, but then again, i'm sure there are people who keep diaries. and these diaries are the first thing they save if there's a fire. not money, but their diary. shows how much it means to them.
to quote the reknowned Shakespeare:
"Come, wilt thou see me ride?
And when I am a'horseback,
I will swear,
I love thee infinitely."
too cheesy? maybe. but this is how i feel right now. don't like it?
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
whoops.
ok, it's 12.42am and still have internet. amazing. i better chuck this onto my bloggie before it's too late. so goodbye i guess.
i forgot. here's the link to my old blog, in case some madman comes along and wants to read it. CLICK HERE YOU MADMAN
