Here I am sitting on this hard almost uncomfortable chair with both my legs up, sipping my first cup of hot coffee for the day-together with some oat crackers, at the same time staring at my phone every now and then; you know just in case a call or a text message comes in. It has been a very silent day for me, or rather an amazingly silent week for me. Plus it's a Saturday. Isn't Saturday the day everyone looks forward to? Dang, the world has gone upside down. Alone in the room, listening to Jay-Z's incredible Empire State of Mind-doesn't make things any better. The loneliness vibe is still there, I can't deny. Funny i should pair the word loneliness with vibe over there. Same difference, doesn't make the term loneliness any livelier. If my sisters were here, you'd be listening to their hideous attempt to rap like Jay-Z or their non-stop laughter when they start dancing and suddenly realise that everyone else is watching. That would have made my day.
Truthfully, I have wasted one whole day in this particular room. I woke up at eleven thirty am, well mum gave me a wake up call. or maybe it was dad. Then I showered and did laundry-all the boring stuff. On a SATURDAY, for goodness' sake! After lunch, I sat quietly for a moment and thought, What shall I do today? Go out? Well it's too hot out there, and I went to town yesterday-you don't have anything to do there, REALLY. Facebook? Done. Yawn. Skype? No one's online to start with, except my next door neighbours. So, I finally decided to finish the movie I watched halfway, I love you Beth Cooper. I skipped a few scenes, okay I admit-I watched it already. Just a typical teenage movie, good enough to kill an hour or two. When I was done with the whole oh-i'm-a-nerd-and-i'm-in-love-with-a-cheerleader-and-how-i-wish-i-could-get-her-attention kinda mood, I took a drastic move to fill the next two hours to appreciate a classic love story. Pride and Prejudice, rings a bell? This movie just brings me to another dimension, let me float into the clouds. It's all the oh so charming Mr Darcy's doing.
You won't believe this but after the hours of doing nothing, I picked up my stack of Macbeth papers ad started reading. I'm actually wow-ed by my sudden urge to read. I can't really explain, and to my luck-I finished reading the play! A round of applause to Mel. Ask me if I understood the whole story. Err, I certainly do have a rough idea of what Macbeth's all about. Oh well.
This is the story of a girl with no life. It's not THATT bad but yeah, we do love to exaggerate. Don't we ladies?
