Societal ulcers.
As everyone probably already knows, there's this ulcer under my tongue. Here's a picture of it, it's on the right of my tongue (for the slow: your left).Pardon my hair and bad complexion, because I don't really give a shit:
And yep, that's all you get to see of my sexy lips and manly retainers.
It's interesting how such anomalies find their way into our lives in such random ways. I don't like it one bit, it doesn't really hurt but I hate the fact that I can't lick it. I enjoy licking my wounds (ulcer is a type of wound, no?), and I don't know about you but when I lick my ulcer I can tell when it'd completely heal by (give or take 2 days). OK yea I know it doesn't sound specific at all, probably because it's not. But the point is, I like licking my wounds, it gives me some sense of ownership over those wounds which I can lick.
This ulcer however is screwed up because I can't lick it since it's on the thing I use to lick things with. It's a case of the doctor being sick himself--incapable of self-cure. Sad life.
And as everyone knows, my tongue is well-known for it's length and vitality. Now it's just a limp and painful dick.
Having ulcers always reminds me of the frailty of life and the possibility of losing what we take for granted--our own bodies. Whenever I get one of these growths (or lack thereof) I'd start hating life and the cumbersome process of trying to avoid the affected area while I eat. It's really tiring and probably a good dieting tool but manly men like me won't give a shit about diet?
The point is, life sucks now. Prelim results aren't helping, at all, but that's something all of us have to live with (the ones that sucked at least). Scant consolation today though, it's probably something most of the level achieved and thus not a good indication of our abilities. I don't like this kind of consolation marking. I don't like hard facts but to attempt to salvage any semblance of dicknity left after the horror that is prelims by the teacher would only trample on our pride even more. Bleh.
Here's something epic by the way. We were doing a survey about AJC since we're already graduating from AJC, and they asked an interesting question:
TYS? Seriously? I mean, what the fuck? OK I've decided not to use so much vulgarities because it desensitizes the word, but this is a case which calls for the use of expletives. Seriously, TYS?
It's quite normal if you just put the TYS part by itself: (e.g. returning lost items such as TYS).
Who can fault that statement? No one. But the fact that they placed 'wallet' makes the emphasis on the importance of TYS in AJC-ians' lives much more pronounced, almost as if TYS is as important as wallets.
One of my friends left her earphones and iPod in the AJC library once, and realized that they were missing only after a paper. She managed to retrieve her things--no one bothered to take away said items.
So we remarked that AJC people only steal notes. I haven't tried leaving notes around, but that'd surely be quite an interesting social experiment.
Let's try after A's (;
