literally serious.

2 entries ago, i wrote about "the pimple".

tonight, a friend of mine told me that that entry was a bit confusing because she wasnt quite sure what i was talking about. was it about someone? or something? it had to represent something. right?

i laughed. because she knew me too well.

except, this truly was about the pimple. a pimple.
what you get when you dont wash your face enough.

maybe i should've figured this out a long time ago, but it was only tonight that i realised that i've actually, never been a literal writer. looking back, it had always been about "apples and oranges". random words that were being used to express my feelings about something in my entries. you know. my kind of "metaphors".

which was probably why she felt that way, because indeed, the "pimple" sounded like the perfect word i would've used. and now i know. like i said, she knew me too well.

but for the record, it truly was about the pimple that grew on my face.
the pimple which i later massively attacked and destroyed in great delight.

with that being said, listening to "The Serious World" on 987FM had really kept me entertained over the past couple of weeks. the serious world is my world. it's a kind of world i would've liked to live in. a world of randomness. literally.

but they had their last show on friday because they got cancelled for some reason. perhaps some people just cant accept living in "The Serious World". everything has to, and should, make sense. maybe, for them.

not me.
