i've been wondering why people choose to be cryptic. many people including myself tend to use vague, general terms to express ourselves to others. msn nicks, blog entries. we talk in such circles that people have no idea what we're going on about. is that the point? to remain a mystery to others?

perhaps its because we dont even know exactly what we want to say. how can we express ourselves if we dont know what it is we're feeling. or back to the thing about words being inadequate. so we prefer to use general terms that we know wont go very wrong.

or maybe its to keep out people who dont matter as much. those who are closer to us will at least have an idea what we're going on about, while the rest of the world wont have a clue. and you can sort of see who cares enough to ask what your cryptic message means.

then again maybe you just dont want people to know what you're thinking about. could be too embarrassing, too private, too close to the heart to just share with the world. or perhaps to sound cryptic makes you sound intellectual. like if you were to write a poem. it's open to different interpretations, and a good one is always held in high regard. maybe we're proud that we're able to twist words to mean many things.

haha okay thats the kind of thing i think about at night. nights that arent filled with mahjong like the previous 2! haha i think the next time i play after i win i wont have good luck already. despite wearing the same t-shirt both times. haha superstitious right. its like you dont really believe it'll work, but better safe than sorry anyway.

and i realise i really do read like a book a day. which could be good or bad i guess. so far the 4 books i chose from the lib the other day have been very good! i've been looking for books shelf by shelf starting from As. think i'm up to Bs already haha.

i can't believe europe is so soon. i'm not ready! i havent collected my tickets, i havent planned what to pack, i havent borrowed the backpack yet. and i dont want the day to come because it means it's going to be over then holidays are going to be over and back to school and soon it'll be exams then pros again and year 3 and no time for anything. hahaha i know i know, ever the pessimist right. i'm TRYING to svour what i have now. easier said than done though.
