Just a little something I wrote, hope you enjoy!
There they sat, on an early August day. Knowing the impact this decision had, they went hand in hand, and took a leap of faith.
He had just met her, on one summer's day in January. Sweaty palms and oily hair, he was introduced to her by a mutual friend. Though not in person (for that was to come later), he was quite intrigued by this girl. No apprehension, or fear; he was comfortable with her, even when he couldn't be comfortable with himself.
She was different, for she had known about him for longer than expected. Always looking at him from a distance, he spoke to her without saying any words. She knew he was different, not like other boys. The boy with unkempt hair, and the untucked shirt, who's brain was filled with thoughts of video games and music.
They didn't know it, but their fates would soon be intertwined.
Later that month, they finally met each other in person at an art gallery. Hitting it off, they soon grew to become closer and closer. A trip to the library, or a game of tekken between the two, where competitiveness was the order of the day, it was never a dull affair between them.
And although events threatened to fracture their friendship, it was ultimately a case of triumph through adversity, where the girl, had managed to work up the courage to speak once more. The boy, knowing he felt the same way, took the opportunity to be something new, to start a life he had previously been afraid of.
And there they sat, on an early August day. Hand in hand, ready to take a leap of faith.
Lately I've been noticing the moments
Where I'm staring up at the ceiling
Or my head is tilted against the pressure of the water
Coming out of the shower.
Where my only companions
Are my thoughts
Taking me away some place else
Everywhere and nowhere
Running away, coming back.
Where I'm staring up at the ceiling
Or my head is tilted against the pressure of the water
Coming out of the shower.
Where my only companions
Are my thoughts
Taking me away some place else
Everywhere and nowhere
Running away, coming back.
I'm looking out the window
There's two buildings, one much taller than the other.
I'd go into detail about what the buildings look like.
But I'm tired.
I'm really tired...

I'm really tired...
Tonight we'll dread the prospect of year 12
Be afraid of failing, of not being able to live up to expectations
and not achieving the mark we wanted.
We'll fall asleep at 3 in the morning, because our sleep patterns are screwed.
And because we're thinking of a past we won't have, and a future we don't want.
But we'll wake up, all those years ago.
So tiny, and so naive.
And ready to face the day once more.
This was done in the lead up to my birthday, a little overdue seeing as how my bday was almost a month ago but I feel like contributing to this blog...
9 minutes - only yesterday I was counting down to my 16th Birthday. SItting around, watching the clock idly. OOh wait I was playing Arkham Asylum. I just finished it. Checked my facebook
8 minutes - looked around, plenty has changed. My room is messy, I'm a day closer to prelim exams. I've studied, will it work? I don't know anymore, we'll just have to wait and see.
7 minutes - waiting for another movie to go on SBS. Some kind of victorian period movie. I dunno, that's me making an assumption, it could be like they went back in time and had to conform to that society. They're
6 minutes - Can hear brother sniffing on the comp. Sister sleeping, dad snoring. Talking to my loved one on MSN. What's to become of me when I'm 17? I guess I'll know in
5 minutes - 300 seconds now. Counting down. Why am I doing this? I guess it's some sort of ritual i perform when I'm waiting for a big event. Christmas, new years, other people's birthdays. CELEBRATIONS! I don't know what to write, I'll
4 minutes - I've still got a cold from a few weeks ago. I wish it would just go away, GO AWAY. I'm still waiting for that movie, the tv guide said 11:50, unless I was on saturday, and today's friday. I might've made that mistake oh well…back to nonsense blabber
3 minutes - my stomach feels odd. I don't know why. I don't think that movie will be on, oh well. My room's messy, a super nintendo with Killer Instinct in it. I think my brother was playing it. I'm on my mac, a new one, not the one I had last year. Year 10,
2 minutes - 120 seconds. A Master Chief figurine splayed out on my chair. I'm sitting here in my room, on my trusty chair. Sometimes it hurts my back, but it's an alright chair nonetheless. Time goes by fast.
1 minute - 60 seconds. I count 60 seconds in the shower before I force myself to get out. Time's gone fast, and my life is not the same it was last year. Goodbye 16 year old jared, someone new is moving in, goodbye, cya, goodnight, good afternoon, good morning. Good bye.

HI GUYS!!
Oh god I'm bored, after such an epic day I've faded into a pattern of outright boredness. That sentence doesn't even make sense, but I DON'T CARE BECAUSE IM BORED AND HUNGRY!!!
So what's been happening? Well it's been holidays, the last real holidays, not those faux holidays that are coming up, freaking HSC and all it's evils it brings.
So I guess I've been trying to make the most of these last real holidays before I'm forced to sink my head into a whole bunch of textbooks that'll make my brain EXPLODE!!
So while the first few days of the holidays were alright (failed gaming marathons on Halo and Dead Space), Thursday really picked up when I went on my first date with the other person who runs this blog, i.e. Selina! We went to Sushi Bay, and despite reading bad reviews it was actually pretty good! Would've liked to eat without having to worry about money but I guess that's what happens when I'm too lazy to get off my bum and find a job. We then met up with Franjo and hung around him for a bit before he had to leave, then went to search for Joe's present (totoro keyring ftb), and ended the day in the library! The day would've been much longer had EA decided not to pull the plug on the Medal of Honor preview session Selina and I both won (first thing I won and it ends up getting canceled, just cruel!) But for a date I'd probably give it a 11/10!
Then the next day we had Joe's party! That was pretty sick as it felt like I hadn't seen most of them in a while (damn exams) but yeah definitely a whole lot of fun. WOULDA LIKED IT IF SOMEONE DECIDED TO DANCE WITH ME but oh well in time we shall waltz! Unfortunately the same person had to leave early, and I would've enjoyed watching REC with her, which ended up freaking out pretty much everyone (including Franjo, and if something scares Franjo you know it's scary)
HAPPY 2 MONTHS!! Unfortunately we didn't get to celebrate on the actual day but last minute planning saw her coming to Newtown to hang out with me! YAY FUN TIMES! We went to Happy Chef, and she slurped on some LAKSA! Which looks pretty damn tasty! Then I took her back to the apartment, and we hung out which is always fun! Played some Lylat wars ("I wanna play co-op but I don't know how!), then I took her around Newtown, and she ended up spending monies on a tshirt, suspenders and awesome red headphones (apparently I look like Neku when I wear it! YAY!). She also bought some Fried Ice Cream and shared it with me (thanks my love!)
Unfortunately, she had to leave Newtown (*sadface*) and I was left in Newtown by myself once more. Which is where I find myself now, bored, and nothing to eat! SOMEONE COME HOME AND BRING ME SOME HAPPY CHEF *cries*
REMEMBER ME?! I'm Jared, and I used to post here. This is my first post in a looong time, let's make it a more regular occurrence yeah?
