PERVERSITY & MAN
HEY, I am on the third post already! YAYNESS!
Yikes! I am in trouble: I have not finished a LIT assignment that's due a month ago and my LIBRARY president is pestering me for the minutes. I am so DEAD! Okay, not dead as in DIED but in deep TROUBLE. I also have to complete a LIT essay by tomorrow!!! Oh, before I forget! HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TO SOON YING!!!
Life issues aside...I had Miss Lee's Gothic Literature lesson on tuesday and we did Poe's "The Imp Of the Perverse". What interest me about the story was the intricate elaboration of the idea of PERVERSITY. Quoting from the book:
"We perpetrate them merely because we feel that we should not. Beyond or behind this, there is no intelligible principle: and we might, indeed, deem this perverseness a direct instigation of the arch-fiend, were it not occasionally known to operate in furtherance of good"
WoW! What cheem language we have there! Anyway, Miss Lee went on to say a normal example of perversity in everyday life: the fact that girls would not directly tell their boyfriends the reason behind why they decide to not talk to their boyfriends SUDDENLY or want a breakup. This is so similar to Ling Er and Li Xiaoyao's situation in "Chinese Paladin". Although I love the two characters together as a pair, Ling Er persistence in pushing Xiaoyao away from her without telling me directly why is rather IRRITATING and IMMATURE. Also, Yueru's rather nice to Xiaoyao so they are better off together. Well, I personally admit to be PERVERSE. haha. I mean, I know I need to complete a certain assignment before a STATED deadline but I would procrastinate and worry (at the same time, IRONICALLY) until the day before the deadline and then start doing the assignment. SIGH! What perversity! Miss Lee herself conducted an example of perversity in class that day rather nonchalantly - Ariff was asking a question and Miss Lee, instead of answering the question, throws back the question at him for him to think of an answer. Isn't that PERVERSE? Ariff OBVIOUSLY was unsure and therefore he questions and Miss Lee had to do quite the opposite of answering the question! HAHAH! Mankind is FULL of SURPRISES! Gothic LITERATURE IS fun!
Before I end, I just discovered a NICE and MEANINGFUL song! It is by SIMPLE PLAN. I originally wanted to insert the music video but my DEAREST sister wanted to put it up at HER blog. Well, the song is after all HER favourite and the band is also HER favourite. ENJOY! The bold phrases reflect the situation of my life
(verse 1)
I woke up it was seven
I Waited till eleven
Just to figure out that no one would call.
I think I got a lot of friends
But I don't hear from them.
What's another night all alone?
When your spending every day on your own
And here it goes ..
Chorus
I'm just a kid and life is a nighmare
I'm just a kid and i know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cause im alone and the world
is havin' more fun then me tonight
(verse 2)
And maybe when the night is dead
I'll crawl into my bed
I'm staring at these four walls again
I'll try to think about the last time
I had a good time,
Eveyone's got somewhere to go
And their gonna leave me here on my own
And here it goes
I'm just a kid and life is a nighmare
I'm just a kid and i know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cause im alone and the world
Is havin' more fun then me
What the hell is wrong with me?
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep
And eveynight is the worst night ever
I'm just a kid (just a kid) x5
Im just a kid and life is a nightmare
Im just a kid and i know that its not fair
Nobody cares cause im alone and the world is ..
nobody wants to be alone and the world
I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, i know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cause im alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me, tonight
I'm all alone ...
tonight
nobody cares...
tonight
Cuz I'm just a kid, tonight
