Unconquered Days: (I Get By) With A Little Help From My Friends

wait. it's 7.11 a.m.*?
it's still morning?
what the heck am i doing awake??? class is at 3 pm!
i must be either nuts or i seriously have nothing to do.
ah well, seeing as i'm here anyway guess i'll write something that no one will read!!!

*it was when i started writing, then this became a tl;dr post.

WARNING: tl;dr post. unless you have totally nothing else to do in life like me, ignore this.

over the course of the past month life's been well, fun.
(ignoring of course, the fact that my academic life is on the brink of disaster but that's neither here nor there)
it's been a blast actually. i, miraculously have new friends. even more miraculously, i have AWESOME new friends.
i mean, seriously. somehow these super duper ultra awesome people actually want to talk to me.
or maybe i'm delusional .
or maybe i'm delusional thinking that i'm delusional.
or maybe...enough maybe's already you faggot!!! -facepalm-

anyway...
so yeah, i have friends. and have i told you (whoever you are) they're awesome?
i have? with caps lock on?
oh yeah i guess i have. just making sure you got how AWESOME my friends are.

apparently, they have a limitless source of untapped energy that keeps that going till the dawn of a new day.
how we can go on for hours and hours every week travelling where no man has been before (ok, that's a lie) i have no idea. and said untapped energy is contagious! they make even koala-lazy me last longer than an hour without falling asleep. somehow, we could waste our nights away laughing our heads off completely disregarding the innocent sleeping masses around us whether it's walking by the beach, or sprouting nonsense at McDonald's at 4 a.m., thrashing the playground at the zoo, or planning disastrous completely expected birthday surprises, the time spent with these 5 individuals are among the most memorable moments of my (almost) adult life.

seeing as they probably won't read this, i guess i could write all the crap i think about the aforementioned 5 individuals. plus, it's new year. and i have nothing better to do before the WiFi here goes kaput.

this actually took a while to finish. it's difficult to describe awesome when you have no idea what that's like.

to the tall, lean guy in glasses, Mr. H:
i guess you're the first person in the group that i ever talked to. the first i had a full conversation with anyway.
initially, i pretty much thought you were unapproachable, you being part of the 'three geniuses' (musketeers?) of the class, and me, being nobody. so i thought: yeah, talk to him once in a while, but not really bother knowing. then all the crap for scholarship unfolded and i started hanging out your block (due a certain Mr. A) nosing around, crashing in your room playing half-life on the eve of an exam, got to know you better and reassessed my opinions. new conclusion: pretty cool guy. he even likes Middle-Earth! and lightsabers! though you can be one cynical sob now for some reason i think you're one of the coolest, dependable guy i know.handy to have around in times of need. wait, that doesn't sound right. oh to hell with it. just don't let that get into your head too much...

to the other tall, lean guy in glasses, Mr. L:
hmmm, what to say? first opinion: errr, study fiend? sorry, i just thought that way at first! you're totally cool in my book now! really. apologetic thoughts aside, i frankly have no idea when i first spoke to you (technically that goes true for everyone that i know). the first time i even heard your name was when crashing in Mr. H's room (again, due to Mr. A) when i casually asked who was next door and got my answer. so i thought: hmm, isn't that the guy who was pretty serious in class and paid attention (something that i don't do, hence the fact that i noticed this) to each word Dr. B said? oh well. guess he's unapproachable too (holy crap, i just realized what a bad judge of character i am!). fast forward a couple of months. you're Mr. L's roommate (huh, L&L?). being the lazy bum that i am, your room is pretty much on my go to list when i need quick answers for something. inevitably, i began to realize that my previous assumptions were totally wrong and i really am an idiot. your errr... 'emotionless'read: sarcasm way of getting jokes across is pretty much what won me over. seriously dude, you make it seem easy. being a novel aficionado also scores major points in my eyes. now can i borrow some of those novels?

to the... okay i have no idea what to include here Mr. Z:
most people will agree: your laugh is contagious. well you acquaintances will anyway. like, each time you start laughing (or *ehem* break wind) it can be guaranteed that ridiculous laughter will follow suit. you just make the world seem brighter. funnier, anyway. someday you have got to teach me how you do it. oh, and he likes big bad robots, like I do! yay! let's go buy some more shall we?  as to how i first met this guy, don't ask. i haven't got an answer. i'm ignorant with too many dead brain cells. however, it probably involved laughing. lots of it. perhaps a few releases of nitrogen+CO2+methane+hydrogen substances. on a side note, while i get that life is srs bsns dear Mr. Z, you have got to lay off over thinking stuff. just go with the wind, but don't break it.

oh crap i'm running out of ideas here...
alright, on to the two lovely ladies of our little outfit.

to little Ms. M (or A, if you want):
enthusiastic. excited. adorable. add over as a prefix to those and you get Ms. M. it's her fault that i'm now on the nocturnal bandwagon!!! seriously, your enthusiasm is what keeps us going. sort of. you're also incredibly fun to hang out with. plus, you have the same name as one of my bestest friend! (wait, what???) okay that has nothing to do with how awesome you are, but i'm really running low on thought juices here. also, it's pretty sweet of you to thank me with messages each time we hang out! people usually just do that verbally, so thanks for going that extra mile!!! hao liao!!!

to err... caring? Ms. R:
damn. you were unexpected. frankly, i never thought of you as the going out at night type. i mean, you're one of our top students! guess that's why you don't judge a book by it's cover, huh? really, i respect you. it's hard to balance books and joy, yet you're able to do it! my hat's (if i had one) off to you! plus, you've got an amazing sense of humor. wow, an all-rounded student! yay! oh, and good luck with that damn child!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------

all in all, i've got to be thankful.
though life's in no way a walk in the park, at least i have friends like these.
and even if i'm deluding myself, or this is just a dream, i hope no one wakes me up.

so life, throw whatever you want at me.
i'll get by, with a little help from my friends.
i'll get a high with a little help from my friends.
i'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

i love my friends. that's all i really wanted to say.

to my friends, old and new:



p.s. Viva La GG!!!

p.s.s.
and oh, Happy Frakkin' New Year everyone!!! it's 2011!!! it's one year closer to our deaths!!! yay!!!
