Delayed Response
Day 2 of fasting is almost over! 28 days to go, lol. By the way, thank you Badger for the "inspirational" comment. XDMy beloved Tamaki Suoh got to see my school for the first time today. He was feigning delight, I just know it. Why wouldn't he? I mean, compared to Ouran...you get the point. The real reason for bringing him to school was so I could grant Ambah temporary custody for the weekend. ^^ I forgot to give her volumes 3 and 4 of Host Club, so I made up for it by bringing her volumes 3-6. As I was gathering the manga in my room, I glanced over at Tamaki. It looked as if he was pleading with me to take him somewhere. Now that I think about it, he's only been to the mall (where Badger let me adopt him) and my room (heh...). So what the hey? I decided that I'd be nice and let him spend the weekend with Ambah...as long as she follows the house rules I laid down *pointedly stares at Ambah*
Let me tell ya, there are people at my school who are just plain stupid. Then again, aren't these types of people everywhere? People are so close-minded! It seems as if they have no regard for the happiness of fellow classmates. Sure, I must've looked strange, cuddling Tama-chan in the hallway, but must these people criticize and make snide comments?! Sheesh...
The above happened a couple of times today, but I'd like to address the scenario which occurred as I was leaving school. Ambah, Dorothy, (I won't disclose her real name, heehee. She'll go by this alias as I heard her sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," at a Beta Convention) and I were waiting for our rides outside. Me and Ambah were being our usual, giddy, random selves...then Ambah wanted to take a picture of me with Tama-chan. So she took it and I couldn't help but huggle my sweet Tamaki! Dorothy looks over at me and says, "You guys are nerds." Now usually, I'm more than happy to call myself a nerd or dork or geek or bookworm, but the way she said it...as if I were beneath her or something...it was aggravating, yet I didn't feel any annoyance or frustration with her. Ambah and I basically continued on with our random activities.
The thing is, I usually make "smalltalk" with Dorothy and regard her as a pleasant sort of person, but today, she must've gotten really ticked off by something because she began acting all presumptuous and yucky blucky. By this, I mean she kept pursuing the subject of anime and manga and how we were nerds because we like it. She also went on to say that she used to think that me and Ambah were *ahem* "like her". EXCUSE ME?! Last but not least, she said that we were *cough* "different" and kinda ended the whole thing with a mildly disgusted look at us. I have no clue why I was almost oblivious to these statements other than to simply say, "You know, I actually like being unique and original. I don't want to be compared to others in the way you think." Lol, I can imagine a ginormous crowd right now, shouting in unison, "True dat!" (...cheesy...)
It was when I was walking down my driveway that I actually processed all that she had said. That kinda seemed like a Godsend though...How? I've mentioned it before, but this is the month of Ramadan. Not only a month of fasting, but also a month to reflect on yourself and work on bad habits, stuff you want to improve about yourself, etc. One of my character flaws is my hot temper. *shaky grin* I'm really impulsive, and there are times when things come tumbling out of my mouth which I regret almost immediately after. And so, I channeled that anger by humming Shissou at the top of my vocal cords(?) and by stomping down the driveway. Dorothy better be glad I had a delayed reaction to her prejudicial comments!
*disappears in a cloud of muffins...oops, I shouldn't be talking about food...*
*rewinds and disappears in a cloud of styrofoam muffins* (better!)
