Say Wha-?

no shit how did they know?? … i DO have a crush on that fella be–

(hehe!)

You’re the words that come out easy,
And I am speechless at best.
Your star it seems to shine above the rest.
You’re the face before the cameras,
The smile i’d like to earn.
The closest thing to perfect,
In a hollywood to burn.
You’re the beauty that is deeper,
Than eyes can merely see.
The closest thing to perfect.
But the farthest thing from me.

I’d love to be,
The shoulder that you cry on.
I’d love to be,
The friend you call when things are great.

You’re the dream that hasn’t ended,
And I’m still anxious for rest.
Your words they seem to hang above my head.
You’re the bud before the flower,
Unfurls into full bloom.
Captivating beauty,
But it maybe all too soon.
You’re the song that writes a story,
But leaves a lot to read.
The closest thing to perfect,
But the farthest thing from me.

And like I really deserve a chance to,
Sit across the table,
And tell you that I think you’re wonderful.
And I think you’re something special.
I guess this is my only chance to,
Say I wish I knew you,
Because I’m sure you’re wonderful,
If I’d get to know you

Power-dressing man leaves trail of destruction .

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian man built up a 40,000-volt charge of static electricity in his clothes as he walked, leaving a trail of scorched carpet and molten plastic and forcing firefighters to evacuate a building.

Frank Clewer, who was wearing a woolen shirt and a synthetic nylon jacket, was oblivious to the growing electrical current that was building up as his clothes rubbed together.

When he walked into a building in the country town of Warrnambool in the southern state of Victoria Thursday, the electrical charge ignited the carpet.

"It sounded almost like a firecracker," Clewer told Australian radio Friday.

"Within about five minutes, the carpet started to erupt."

Employees, unsure of the cause of the mysterious burning smell, telephoned firefighters who evacuated the building.

"There were several scorch marks in the carpet, and we could hear a cracking noise — a bit like a whip — both inside and outside the building," said fire official Henry Barton.

Firefighters cut electricity to the building thinking the burns might have been caused by a power surge.

Clewer, who after leaving the building discovered he had scorched a piece of plastic on the floor of his car, returned to seek help from the firefighters.

"We tested his clothes with a static electricity field meter and measured a current of 40,000 volts, which is one step shy of spontaneous combustion, where his clothes would have self-ignited," Barton said.

"I’ve been firefighting for over 35 years and I’ve never come across anything like this," he said.

Firefighters took possession of Clewer’s jacket and stored it in the courtyard of the fire station, where it continued to give off a strong electrical current.

David Gosden, a senior lecturer in electrical engineering at Sydney University, told Reuters that for a static electricity charge to ignite a carpet, conditions had to be perfect.

"Static electricity is a similar mechanism to lightning, where you have clouds rubbing together and then a spark generated by very dry air above them," said Gosden.

da heck la! how did THAT happen! Seriously! 40,000 watts??? shouldn’t he be dead??? Geez!!! I didn’t know that static electricity could get THAT high! geez!

i should have just told desmond that i had feelings for Nigel back then.

godma would have probabaly told me "first you have to clean yourself up more and be a proper girl before you can get a guy like that, elaine"

it would have sucked to have heard that from her. but it’s not as if what you did hear was not as bad, anyway, plus, you know, what you actually did end up doing, ALSO messed things up anyway.

and we’re now in a more wretched state than before.

so maybe anything else, would have actually been better.

don’t you think?

I try to stay awake but its 58 hours since that I last slept with you.

i liked how he kept silent as if observing and absorbing things around him and the conversations someone else was having. i like how it seems that he doesn’t talk much. i liked how when he did, he wasn’t like those incredibly shy people who are just impossible to talk to. it was not impossible to talk to him because he really did still, talked with me.

in retropspect, i should have tried to have known him more first before jumping the gun. of course i should have.

yet, i was just captured, attracted to the little things that he was. like how he smiled and how he didn’t quite understand chinese when godma tried to trick him, and asked him a question in chinese. and how he stood there and you could see he was translating the question in his head. so cute.

and i remembered again, another thing about him that was really endearing. How he would not set his watch to Malaysian time and everytime desmond asked him for the time, he look at his watch, pause, then count eight hours forward with his fingers. So cute.
I did ask him though why he didn’t just set his watch to Malaysian time, and he said that it was too much of a hassle because in three weeks he’d have to set it back again anyway. Kinda sad, actually, if you really think about it. Or at least, doesn’t that show that, perhaps, unlike Desmond, Malaysia isn’t very much home, but rather, just a vacation…
I wonder if that’s also a reason why he felt tortured being in classes with those British born Indians who looked down on him cause he’s not Brit. That’s abit sad, though, because i would feel that, he was very much, MORE brit than Malaysian… I don’t know. He seems that way maybe too.

and i was caught, too, in that moment that evening when we sat talking in desmond’s room. and he was telling me about stuff as i looked at him looking out into the sunset reflected in his eyes. He was awfully chilled about the shit that was happening in his life, actually, the way he spoke abt it anyway. maybe elaine, sometimes, some people don’t need your saving. have you ever thought abt that?

i wish you meant it. i know we both don’t know each other well, if not, at all. but i wish u meant it, how you seemed to have been that night, minus the shock of course.

i guess i was too clouded myself to be a fair judge of how you felt, actually. maybe i was entirely wrong… and by the looks of it and the silence on your side… i think i was… indeed… entirely wrong.

about everything about you.

and i should just give up.

"surrender the fantasy" as they said in Reality Bites.

and yet i hold on to another distorted in my fucked up head, illusion.

why? elaine, why? why do you always do this to yourself?

because i am incapable of talking myself out of my fucked up delusions, that’s what.

My fake plastic love
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time
All the time

But gravity always wins
