Curiosity kills the cat.
Sometimes, all you need to do to change the impression of what others have of you is to do something really damn stupid.
The crux of the matter does not lie on the action itself, but the admittance that such a stupid thing really happened.
For example, I fold thousands of paper airplanes and throw them down from the 5th floor. And deny all the accusations that would pour forth from the thousand of eye-witnesses. As long as you don't admit, they can't do anything. You can even accuse them of doing stuff like trying to bring down your non-existent reputation. That's what a clever guy would do anyway, just lie through his teeth and try to get away with everything.
However, the obscenely truthful guy would simply own up the next day when the discipline teachers asked about the sudden influx of floating airplanes in the many ponds of Cat High. There's no need for severe promptings of any sort. It's just a simply question. No eye-witnesses need to be involved in the prosecution of the culprit.
Such an idiot shouldn't even commit the act in the first place.
Perhaps he's the head prefect and all, and after the stupid incident his reputation is totally brought down, he's stripped of his head prefect status, he's despised by others for the stupid act.
But does anyone care about how he feels about the treatment? Perhaps he deserved it, but..never mind. I don't know how to carry on anyway. It's too farfetched, to the point of stupid. Wei Lun won't bother making paper airplanes in the first place.
Anyway, I think there's a song people can play to cheer themselves up in the onslaught of serious accusations threatening to bring down your reputation (or lack of reputation). But I seriously can't be bothered putting up that song here. No one would bother finding it to download anyway, and besides, no one cares even if you feel down.
I don't have the strength to defend myself anymore. I can't adopt the nonchalant attitude I always have towards people who flame me. Seriously, I don't mind having a hate club as long as the accusations are more or less baseless. It amuses me to no end that stupid people like them really exist. But if the attacks get too personal, and are true, I have nothing to say.
If anyone asks me what I did to cause myself to make such a weird post, I most probably won't give you an answer. MCQ questions, maybe. But that's not a hint for you to pester me. I should just turn on my busy mode on MSN, or best, just appear offline.
I'm surprised I'm still not blocked. I don't dare to talk though. Too ashamed to type in conversation windows le.
I actually wanted to blog about paper airplanes and them getting stuck on the whirling fans, but I don't think I'm in the mood to anyway.
Playing the same song again. The battery should last for a long time.
I won't ask for forgiveness. I don't deserve it.
I'm not depressed. I don't have the right to.
