Had a couple of interesting conversations last night that kept me up till 2 am on MSN, most captivating topic being fantasies. Nah, not gonna go into details. :) Well, the topic only came about because I find it hard to back down from people thinking they had me. To think that the entire conversation started with DJ Tiesto... well, I guess it's a reminder that origins and roots can seem mundane, but they eventually become what it is today (umm.. not that Tiesto isn't fascinating, okay?). Sorry, digressed. :) 

Listening to Linkin Park's From The Inside, a rediscovered treasure.

Anyway, I had lunch with the Tiesto fan in the city. It was really interesting, listening to him talk about marketing ventures. I mean, this guy is seventeen, my age, and there he was, sounding like he's been in the business for 5 billion years as he casually made references to Richard Kiyosaki (writer of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad') just the way guys back home (oops, he's Malaysian too, but that's not the point) talk about Wayne Rooney! It just made me think that the way I fuss over not being able to attend Fort Minor's concert is really juvenile. Lol.

Don't for a minute think I'm not still pissed off though, grrr...

Mmm... then tonight, I had dinner at a Chinese restaurant near the train station with Carey, Ali and Tristin and afterwards, we decided to catch a movie. Because I'm not 18 and Tristin didn't want to watch all that gore, we didn't pick 'Hostel'. And because I'm the youngest (yay for once) and I didn't want to watch 'Derailed', I picked 'Imagine Me and You', described as a romantic comedy with Piper Perabo (you ought to remember her as the chick from 'Coyote Ugly'). No, don't tell me I committed a crime just by picking that over 'Derailed'. :P

The movie was... interesting. See, I want to discuss the plot with you guys, but that'd be ruining it for you. So after you've watched it, let me know what you think. :) I liked the funny moments, as well as the acting. It seemed like there was genuine chemistry, unlike John Cusack's 'Must Love Dogs', which was completely disappointing. For the record, I like John Cusack, so there's no bias, okay? I know most people don't like Matthew Goode (the guy from 'Chasing Liberty'), but I find him alright. Well, what can I say? British accents rock, especially to people in Australia. :P

I gotta say that it's been a bit hard being back here in Brisbane without the people that I hope that I haven't taken for granted, like Kassy and the boarder girls. I really miss the times in high school where people were so near to me, literally. When I met up with Simmy, she asked me if I felt that Dom has been pushing me away, because she's been feeling that way, and I realised that it's true. I hope that I'm wrong, and that she's just excited about starting uni. Then there're the people whom I've been avoiding, but really, I honestly had thought at that time that the friendship we shared was so much stronger than this, but I was obviously wrong.

But I'm really grateful for the friends I have, like those three I spent tonight with. Carey is planning to hold a second party for those of us who aren't 18. Ali invited me to play soccer and when I told him I wouldn't be able to make it because I was sick, he asked if I was alright and then called me tonight to tell me to join them for dinner. Tristin has always been a good friend, offering a hug and shoulder to cry on when he knows I need either or both of them. He waited till my cab came and his mom is the loveliest person. She knows I'm back and since I'm a big coffee addict, she passed a message to call her when I have time so we can have coffee together.

Really, if being popular and having lots of friends means having the ones that don't know you best, I'd rather have these few close ones that completely understand and care for me.

Sigh, uni tomorrow, dammit. Thank God my first lecture is my one and only for tomorrow and it starts at 12. Funny thing is Ryan, Kassy's brother will be attending a lecture at 2, right after mine, at the exact same room. So yes, just as I escape, he goes in for his 2 hours of boredom.

Wish me luck that I don't get lost in that big campus or do something stupid on my first day. :)
