Entry 8: What I Do With My Time

So a large part of the activities that I participate in constitute of watching TV shows and engaging in university work.

Is it fun?

Well, sometimes some of my favorite characters get killed off on TV and sometimes I feel like I would get killed off if I did any more uni work, but it goes on, I guess.

I don't understand this ONE thing though. Why do people who are passionate about something, get so ANGRY about it? I mean, it's great that you love a certain kind of (insert appropriate noun) but you don't have to get defensive when someone doesn't like it too. You don't have to force them to like it, either. Not everyone is like this, but some of them are, and that's what fuels more pop-culture "wars" than people would like to admit.

That's the thing; we always look outward when something doesn't go our way. We should start looking inward too. 'What did I do to start this thing in the first place?' and 'What can I learn from this?' should, ideally, be the questions we ask ourselves.

But 'Why ask such questions when dealing with morons and imbeciles?' is the question I keep asking. So well, don't work with me if you won't agree with me. That's all I'm saying. At least I'm admitting to it, unlike you people out there, with your judging eyes.



Well, no, I'm joking. I am actually a pleasure to work with, ask anyone.
(Or don't).

(Aren't these GIFs just lovely? They don't have audio though. They're essentially REALLY short movies. Or like moving pictures. How fascinating!)

  1. Yeah, I agree. I like how the internet is connecting all these passionate show followers into fandoms but I don't like how it gets too serious at times (like, totally missing the point of entertainment) and for some reason it's becoming acceptable to judge people based on the shows they watch (I mean, really?)

    P.S. Your tweets about blogging coupled with my stalking skills led me here :3 Adorable blog!

    1. Thank you so much, Ghadeer :D This is something that I've been trying to work on for a really long time, but I just couldn't continue with it (not a great finisher :P).

      And I completely agree about the internet thing; I'd be lying if I said that the internet was not responsible for at least 90% of the fandoms I'm in :)
