This Library Night

I swear the exam revision brings out the weirdest in people...
Or maybe I'm just really good at attracting weird people. Haha

Okay - so I'm sitting here at the head of the table at the library right. I'm just doing my thang - flipping open lecture notes, reading my wargaming book, reading sinfest the comic etc. By the power of Chaos Theory the library is crowded today with the strangest of people. I mean THE strangest people you could find here.

To my left is a boy who has headphones in his ears. While he reads his notes an alter ego speaks through his mouth. What it seems to be saying is like excerpts you could get by randomly flicking through radio channels. I'm pretty sure I heard lyrics from Trogdor the Burningnator and instructions out of a audio French lesson tape. It's not that he's asking for a conversation. He can't hear anything through the headphones...

Further beyond is a strange man in glasses. He does linear acrobatics on the couch with a sheaf of paper in his hands. Most of the time he's staring into space for minutes at a time stock still. Occasionally he starts singing to himself... while beating his palm against the leather in time. He too talks to himself occasionally.

On my right is a boy who has to tell us everything he is going to do. Until we ignored him for long enough for him to stop doing so - which was several hours later. I'm not sure whether he was seeking approval for his actions or as a kind gesture that we may align and adjust our minute by minute scheme with his. But truth is after while it was a kind of shut the fuck up.

In fact shut the fuck up would have been my response to all three at some point.

Oh dear now I have sworn twice and thus resort to slapping myself. They are staring at me for slapping myself without cause... I think I just joined the ranks of the insane and the lost.

But me? I'm just chilling. It's smooth riding from here baby. It's pretty cool realising that hey! I know shit. I can do this without too much hassle and tears. After the melodrama of the year, this feels like a picnic. I just almost won emo award here at college too. Yeah, I don't care thaaat much. But it feels a little unfair. Would they rather I bottled up everything inside so that their lives would be free of another eyesore? Lol - but then again with that one sentence I have just shown how deserving I am of the award runner up.

Still - can't wait for this exam period to be over. Got a lot of fun fun projects to start up once this thing is done.

But for the now - I'll just try avoiding eye contact with half the people in the room. *Places blinkers over eyes*
