"It is a small world. You do not have to live in it particularly long to learn that for yourself.

There is a theory that, in the whole world, there are only five hundred real people (the cast, as it were; all the rest of the people in the world, the theory suggests, are extras) and what is more, they all know each other.
And it’s true, or true as far as it does.

In reality the world is made of thousands upon thousands of groups of about five hundred people, all of whom will spend their lives bumping into each other, trying to avoid each other, and discovering each other in the same unlikely teashop in Vancouver.

There is an unavoidability to this process. It’s not even coincidence. It’s just the way the world works, with no regard for individuals or propriety."

Ignorance

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

We're the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, oh, we're not the same

Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good, it's good

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out

PAINTING FLOWERS

Strange maze, what is this place?
I hear voices over my shoulder,
Nothing's making sense at all.
Wonder, why do we race?
When everyday we're runnin' in circles,
Such a funny way to fall.
Tried to open up my eyes,
I'm hopin' for a chance to make it alright.

When I wake up,
The dream isn't done.
I wanna see your face,
And know I made it home.
If nothing is true,
What more can I do?
I am still painting flowers for you.

Show my cards,
Gave you my heart,
Wish we could start all over.
Nothing's makin' sense at all.
Tried to open up my eyes,
I'm hopin' for a chance to make it alright.

When I wake up,
The dream isn't done.
I wanna see your face,
And know I made it home.
If nothing is true,
What more can I do?
I am still painting flowers for you,
I am still painting flowers for you.

I heard everything you said,
I don't wanna lose my head,

When I wake up,
The dream isn't done.
I wanna see your face,
And know I made it home.
If nothing is true,
What more can I do?
I am still painting flowers for you,
I am still painting flowers for you.

Sick Of This Shit!

Ahh I am so sick of this!!

Everytime I go by or even say something to her, she asks stuff like "Why, isn't Christina with you?" and whenever she wants to say anything at all to me, she mockingly asks Chris permission first. It's pissing me off...!

And on Friday, she called me towards her and Sudee whispered something in her ear and Avi talked normally to me but after a while, she just asks me - bam, outta the blue - "Are you in love with Juleef?" and Sudee just nudged her and looked away.

I got really pissed off and just snapped "No! No way!" and then Sudee nudges her again and Avi says "No, I mean as a friend" to change the subject and I just said "Yeah sure, as a friend"

And then Sudee whispers "Ask her" and Avi says "You know, right? About Sudee and Juleef?". I said "Yeah, I've known for some time" and they got so shocked and stuff but I just kept my mouth shut.

God, they think I'm so pissed off with them because I like Juleef or something. That is so effing ridiculous!

I'm so pissed off that they obviously dont trust me enough to tell me.

And then Avi just said this:

Avi

shez tellin yuh 2 cm

I'm soooo freaking pissed off atm.

I just want to get the guts to say what I feel to her:

"Avi, seriously. Before you go around telling me that I have changed, honestly take a good look at yourself. Who's the person who's found new friends? I'm still friends with the same old people I knew from before. I'm still friends with Nathasha, Ashan, Suchi, Julian, Prashan, Atheeq, Duli, Sumaya, Nardy - ALL of them. All the people from our old class.

But you say you and Sudee are the only two people who didnt change and/or didnt make new friends and who stuck together. Do you seriously think that it was aaaaall of us people who changed or just the two of you? You might not realize it but think about it.

And there's so much more but I just can't get bothered saying all of this because I'm not pissed with you. I'm just reeeeally hurt that you and Sudee obviously don't trust me enough and that it's you two who've found new friends and stuff but accuse me of being two-faced and/or whatever"

Seriously. Even Prashan and Ashan said that Avi and Sudee have changed. So did Atheeq but it was Ash and Proosh saying so which really convinced me of this.

I actually do like Nadiya but seriously, after she came it was aaaaall about her - no time for anybody else. Prashan got completely kicked aside and he drifts from person to person. Ash is aaall alone and depressed cuz now Avi and Sudee aren't close to him any more. Sumaya is forced to spend time with the others cuz Avi doesnt have time for her. I stuck with the people who I felt comfortable with i.e. anyone but them.

And after Sudee started going out with Juleef, it's all *whisper whisper* They didn't even tell me. They kept it a secret from me. Juleef had to tell me which was what hurt me most. That JULEEF is closer to me than Sudee is...

And it's not just this. There's sooooo much more that's just way too depressing to write.

Whatever. I don't think I can ever forgive the both of them.
