The psychologists call it “deindividuation”. It’s what happens when social norms are withdrawn because identities are concealed. The classic deindividuation experiment concerned American children at Halloween. Trick-or-treaters were invited to take sweets left in the hall of a house on a table on which there was also a sum of money. When children arrived singly, and not wearing masks, only 8% of...
I think I might clean my wall out.
There are a bunch of scribbles all over my wall. The biggest one is from last year and it has all the assessments I needed to complete, all crossed out. I guess that’s my form of sentimentality considering it’s still there! There are also some somewhat angsty and melancholy prose but they’re pretty good, so I might keep them (Or just write them somewhere else).
i’l replace...

Ride the impulse wave.
Sometimes I just accept the fact that my impulses are an intrinsic part of my nature. Which is likely why I bought so much over the past little while. I don’t think it’s coincidence that I suddenly went on a timely retail stampede either. It comes down to the fact, I’d rather not think when I buy something and regret it later instead of not thinking when I say something that I...

A bus is a funny place to congregate. More precisely, a bus is a perfect place to congregate. A particular bus, 139, is often driven by particular bus driver. It matters not the particular route, only that duration of the trip is officially an hour and thirty two minutes. On this bus, entails a particular array of commuters who, for what ever reason, choose to take this bus in a routinely and at...
SORELY UNDERESTIMATED HOW LONG THIS STORY IS.
It’s probably not even that interesting. What’s so interesting about a bunch of normal people talking on a bus, honestly.
Is reading a novel an act of Routine or Ritual?
Aight so I was about half way through doing my work when I reached a little block. So perhaps you ally cats can help! I spent this morning in my tutorial trying to define and discriminate and even find connection between a Ritual and a Routine.
Basically what I gathered was:
Routine is necessitated out of practical fulfillment, such as brushing your teeth. What you gain from routine is, for the...

Somber mornings and story evenings.
Aight so this is an account of how I turned a potentially shit day into a pretty positive and thoughtful day.
Of course I slept terribly from the previous night. When I woke up, I didn’t know whether to be thankful I still had the cognition to get up or spiteful as all hell because I did not feel in control of my emotions. Which sounds damn wishy washy but who doesn’t have these kind...

Conversation I had with university today:
Me ” Hey uni, I’m back. Did you miss me?” Uni “Shutup bitch, now suck my dick.”
and the only thing I learnt in my lecture today was that my friend really likes drawing cats.
That awkward moment when something huge happens in...

MY LIFE.
OMG THIS
The uni-blues.
I’m pretty weary going back to university this semester for a number of reasons. Usually the holidays go on just long enough that I actually want to go back. This time how ever I’m a little more concerned for a number of reasons.
I feel as if last semester really stretched me in terms of how late I left things and how much I had to do. I really underestimated a lot of the work.

Sometimes I just need to vent my impulses.
So as not to do something ridiculous stupid that has more dire consequences. In this case I think I will search up a kazoo on ebay… and then wear it around my neck to be all indie like… Knowing how obnoxious I am though, I’ll probably just play it where ever I go. This is probably just a sub-text to the fact that I want a legit instrument to learn. My mind tosses up between a...
I think this is just a contemplation on writing. Narration to be specific. I haven’t written anything since I got about halfway through writing a short story. Moving on though, we all know Harry Potter and of course the magnificent lady behind it all, J.K. Rowling.
I think this lady really is an amazing author. It’s a spectacle just wondering how she gave us, what is a modern day...

@2am in the morning: Night time existence
The night is not scary
Contrary to common belief
It put’s one mind at ease
If you were to let it be
It is not the unknowing abyss
Darkness a catalyst of the night
Unlike the day
It illuminates
The lamp posts and Lanterns like seeds of light
WHile some may shy away in fright
And others seek to hide within it’s hide
The night is where the mind resides
Expanding beyond the...
A friend pointed out that I haven’t really posted any poetry for quite a while. It’s not like I haven’t written any. I write just as often as I ever have (which wasn’t that often to begin with.) They aren’t particularly introverted to render themselves “un-postable” either. I just have a sense of timing and patience about them. I want to edit and collect...
Unproductive getting to meeee
Haven’t doooooone anything tonight. Matter of fact haven’t done anything the past few days (except work today). I was going to complain more but I’m watching Zombieland which makes me feel better. Tomorrow I might go out and just flounce about!
guess i should clean the house though…
WORST MISTAKE OF MAH LAIIIIF.
This is why you never EVER set your Facebook event to public. Oh god SOMEONE BAIL ME OUT.
Rage on Saturdays usually turns out better then on...
Digital Love - Daftpunk and Praise You - Fatboy Slim so far! Great Music Clips XD
Friday is usually just a bunch of half baked indie crapola. Don’t get me started on the indie chicks who sing wanky ass ballads, walking around meadows or messing with obscure items in pretty decorated rooms.
FUCK DAT SHIT.

get your freak on.
I think I will just...
and then I ended up in a blanket on a couch.
It’s too cold and I have work tomorrow.
I’m not as impulsive as I once was…
I’m about to have some dinner. Then upload some music to my phone to listen to tonight, whilst I journey to somewhere to which is currently beyond me.
Nights like these it is best to get out of the house. Don’t let your sanctum become your prison.
