Dear Diary,
Mood: Apathetic
My life is spiraling downwards... Okay, that was weird. I'm not really emo *shudder*. But then again, why
shouldn't I be emo? I quote Viv "At least they stick up for their friends". Whether that's true, I have no fucking idea, but hey, I'll just trust her on this one. I was going to post in the boarding house and all, but I just couldn't be stuffed, so I'm currently slaving over this at my guardian's. Yay. Hooray. Joy. Somehow the appeal of blogging is wilting and dying. Some days I just lie there staring at the ceiling, asking myself "What am I doing? What is the point of this?" Without fail, this little part of my diminished conscience will reply "You are staring at the ceiling, asking yourself what you are doing and what is the point of doing what you are doing." Just around
that moment, I slap my head with all the strength I can muster, effectively diverting my thoughts to how much my head hurts.
What a smart plan...Anyway... I had this Philosophy session on Friday. For those dumbasses that don't know about this Philosophy extension program I'm in, today is your day of enlightment. Sarah Cole, Bonnie, Kai Ling, if you read this and you are offended, feel free to flame me :) Basically, we are currently in the midst of watching this TV series called 'Sophie's World'. I shall give you a '
brief' overview of the show so far. Right. It's about this girl called Sophie
Amundsen(?) who's in Norway. She's got this red-haired skank for a best friend, which is just weird, and has a Harry Potter lookalike lusting after her. She has such a perfect life... K, sarcasm aside, she starts receiving mysterious letters in the mail with questions like "Who am I?" and other philosophical pieces of info. Naturally, being the inquisitive 15-year-old that she is, she investigates and learns about this psycho dude called Alberto Knox, who's Norway's answer to the Nutty Professor. The duo embark on a fantastical [not fantastic, merely quite unbelievable] journey through time, tracking the influential people of each era. I'm
extremely surprised that this girl actually retains her sanity throughout this chapter of her 'ickle life. I mean, with paranormal encounters of the freaky variety and wandering through spooky forests and almost catching the Black Plague without getting herself admitted into Woodbridge is quite an achievement for a teenager. *polite applause resounds in the empty room* Ok, back to the story. There's this girl called Hilde something-Knag whose presents and cards keep turning up in Sophie's mailbox. Since we learnt about
eternal forms in the video, I made the connection that Sophie, since Hilde was never physically tangible/visible, was Hilde's eternal form, as such. Then, the next episode, which I had the torture of sitting through on Friday, totally screwed my analysis, or furthered it. The thing is, at the end of Friday's episode, they showed Hilde as a real person, clutching this book her father [the Major] wrote for her. Guess what the name of the book is?
SOPHIE'S WORLD. Surprise, surprise!!! So, I can now confidentally say (based on my own superior knowledge, lol) that Sophie is not real. She is merely a character in a book, every living moment of her 'life' directed by the Major. As you have probably figured out, once the book ends, the characters are no more, which means Sophie's death is inevitable. However, that stupid little asshole just won't give up, and she proposes to Alberto the idea of '
tricking' the Major. How can she trick him when he made her up and can't converse with her?! Norwegians.... Yeah, anyway, the episode ended there, leaving me literally
buzzing with questions. I was selling my 'Sophie doesn't exist' idea to Kai Ling, and she was like "NO..... Hilde doesn't exist, bla bla bla bla [I forgot everything else she said -.-"] Yeah, anyway, only the PLC girls would understand my aggravation, so I won't explain the concept today. So, Kai Ling... explain your thinking to me in layman's terms please, I really don't comprehend your intellect
Yeh. That's enough posting for now.
Toodle-pip
P/S: Lynn, tag me when your done :$ I know I'm annoying, but I really wanna see your answers *teehee*
