Uni-ball Signo DX 0.38 Pen

I love this pen a lot, like seriously. I always like to use this because of it's fine tip and it writes easily. I hate it if the tip is 0.5mm or more because it's just too thick for my liking and I usually end up with an incomprehensible scrawl, because admittedly my handwriting isn't one of the best especially when the ink is thick.

BUT, the problem is, I always drop the pens. Yeah, yeah. I'm clumsy, and I always have the habit of twirling pens and then dropping them (hehe that's just me). It's fine for other pens BUT NOT THIS. Once you drop the pen, there's a 96.47% chance that your pen will DIE, IT'S THAT SERIOUS GUISE. It will just stop living it's life and no matter how you try resurrecting it, IT'S GONE FOREVER. I can't even count how many times I had to buy a new pen because of this, and it's not cheap 'kay. Imma jinx and everytime I drop a pen, it just had to be more than 80% full of ink. I drop it. Aaaand the 80% ink is wasted, along with my money. Rest in peace my baes.

Asocial Personality?

Before I begin, I have the urge to correct any clueless humans out there. The term 'anti-sociality' isn't the act of not socialising. Asociality is the correct word. If you have originally though that anti-sociality was the correct word to describe people who hates talking like me, you were misled.

So what's the deal? Not much really, just a little curious about my personality. Unlike many people, I get really drained if I go out with friends for a long time. Although they are my friends, I feel reluctant to interact with them and rather compelled to just shrivell back to my little shell of blissful isolation after hours with them. Where it's just me and my thoughts floating around.

Recently, I broke my own record of going out with friends 3 days in a row. The first day was pretty cool, although I experienced the urge to hide into my 'shell' during the last few hours. The second day was fun too, but the last day? All I felt was reluctance to get out of bed, get out of the house and into reality outside. I was groaning internally but I convinced myself to go anyway because, what kind of friend am I to reject her friend?

Fast forward, the day's over and I felt kind of... relieved. I can hear your incredulous 'what?!' now. Weird right? I felt relieved when I should have missed her or something. I was relieved because I could go back to my little shell again.

I'm highly introverted which is why I experience all these stuff. I guess I'm considered asocial too. I just suck at conversations and interaction because I'm mostly quiet when I'm around people, even with my buddies. It's like a chore for me to start a conversation and I just smile at whatever people say. Like you know, just so that they can differ me from the stone wall.

As a result of my asociality, I have a lesser number of friends compared to an average secondary school student. I would say I'm generally a nice person, although I can be a little blunt at times but I would say the fault lies mostly on my asociality. To be honest, I don't exactly have a good friend in my class. It gets lonely at times even when my friends offers me to tag along with them so that I can avoid looking like a complete loner. I feel like a third wheel and although I admit I sometimes like being a third-wheel, it doesn't mean I like to be one full-time.

On the other hand, I have some pretty close friends in my CCA which I'm happy of. I like talking and having fun at times, but there are also times which I want to be left alone. Asociality isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes I think I'm a little too asocial and I feel lonely at times. Even to the extent when it can blast into a full-blown existential crisis where I start to question the point of living. This is no joke.

Asociality is okay if it's part of you because it's what makes you you. But do do it in moderation, because you might end up feeling lonely if you don't.

The Never-Ending Cycle of a Human Night Owl

What happens if you oversleep during your afternoon naps and end up awake throughout the night? You'll turn into a night owl.

It might not necessarily be a bad thing if you can adapt to it, but it is if you can't especially when you have to wake up early in the morning during exams.

Welcome to my life.

It all started with staying up late at night, thus leading to sleeping late. Wake up at 6am after less than 7 hours of sleep with a grouchy, reluctant mood. Wash up, eat breakfast, get dressed, go to school. Comes back with thunderously bad mood stemmed from the lack of sleep. Eats lunch, shower, and goes to nap.

Next thing? The clock reads 5.30pm. Bummer.

I've overslept my nap.

And now I feel so hyper even though my mind and body should be shutting down.

The night passes once again with me staying up late.

I could use an alarm clock during my naps but really, ever hear of this?



Screw alarm clocks, this is what I end up doing instead:



Even my alarm clock's afraid of me... sue me for clock-abuse!

XOXO,
Aria
