Well Jennifer's busy preparing for the Chemistry quiz so she's going to figure out how to log in and post another time. Meanwhile, these are the 2 lists from her blog:
Top 10 Events that Jiggled My Heart
1. From 2008, when a particular someone decided to confess me (completely by accident!). I think you should thank that friend of yours. (:
2. From a week ago, when a particular someone walked from Raffles Place to Boat Quay then to the Supreme Court then to Clarke Quay and THEN to the Esplanade under the afternoon sun with me after an awesome Subway lunch :D I liked it that we didn't even have to try to make conversation. We just did. I think you're the only guy I can talk to without getting in the least nervous. We should go on dates more often. Next stop, East Coast! :D
3. From Dune, when Gurney met Paul again after 3 years (and after assuming he was long dead). It was so relieving that they could finally fight alongside each other again, instead of unknowingly firing missiles at each other ("Oh, man. That was YOU?!").
4. From Kekkaishi, when Gen was introduced to and (somewhat) accepted by the Yagyou. Well, his life was screwed up over there anyway, but at least it was better than staying with that weirdo family of his :/ (If someone has a power that can't control and hurts people without it even though he doesn't mean to, IT'S NOT HIS FAULT, DAMMIT.) I was so happy for him, especially after he started going to school with Yoshi and sparking off a long series of pathetic arguments about coffee milk (and how to grow taller)...and then he decided to die. Ah, well.
5. From 2008, when Stella bought chawanmushi for me when I said I didn't have time for lunch. You taught me a whole new meaning to kindness (: I still remember it! And I don't think I've paid you back yet. YOU JUST WAIT. AHAHAHA I don't have to. You already did remember? :)
6. From some random Japanese movie in which this girl recorded a video for her boyfriend just before she died. She was talking about how she loved him and how she would have liked to carry on living so that they could spend more time together. I didn't even know what the story was about--just happened to flip to that channel--but I started crying, anyway. Dang I hate sad movies D:
7. From the Dark Elf Trilogies, when Bruenor pretended to be dead because he wanted to make Drizzt say he'd accompany him to Mithril Hall. I really thought he was going to die and I was so sad D: Then he suddenly sat up and said, "THERE, YOU SAID IT" and I dunno, half of me wanted to kill him and the other half of me was super relieved. (Note to readers: if any of you try to pull this kind of trick on me, I swear, I will bury you so deep in the ground the heat from the Earth's core will scorch your sorry ass, and then you really will be dead.)
8. From the Trilogies again, when Zak died. Okay I was actually sort of sad, but it was an honorable death (if you don't mind being killed by your wife and your daughters) and it was for the safety of his only son. It was so selfless on his part and I thought it was kind of ironic coming from a dark elf, but there you go. I was happy when Drizzt dropped the flash bomb on his mother and sisters, yelled, FAREWELL, LOSERS (well, no, he didn't, but it was words to that effect) and went off to live the life his father had always wanted but never dared to live. But I still want Zak back D:
9. From 2009 Feb/March, when a particular someone completely surprised me with his sensitivity and kindness (sorry Linus, I'm uh talking about someone else...but that's not to say that you're not sensitive and kind!). It was great having lunch with the two of you even though I didn't really know you (and please, I still owe you okay, not the other way round, so get over it!). They decided to go to a food place I was familiar with because I said I didn't know how to get back to school from the place they'd initially planned to go to. They changed course in, I dunno, two seconds? Thanks (:
10. When Pei Yu from KC burst into tears after someone swung her way too high on a swing. I would have preferred it if she hadn't cried at all--no one likes watching little kids cry, except maybe those crazy WWII Hitler people--but the way she clung on to me and refused to let go kind of jiggled my heart a little (heh...it sounds funny when you put it in a sentence. Wonder why it sounds okay when you put it in a title?).
So now you know what a loser I am--having a heart that get jiggled by stuff from books and shows and movies. But wait till you see the next list... (:
Jennifer has too many funny things going on in her life, she has to have a whole new list:
Top 10 Things That Make Me Laugh Till I Cry
1. (and currently the top-rated event)
2.
3. Fei Ya's "ACHOO ACHOO ACHOO...pwah." Oh, man, Fei Ya. You're hilarious. (why does Fei Ya sound like a happy alpaca!) (And second to this is Pamela's sneeze: "meep!")
4. Stella's thing about hyperventilating in Thai Noodle House. I can't remember what it was about...but I know it was hilarious. (Again, this is to Regina's credit). It was about Regina pulling Jennifer's chair towards her, announcing "I've got a fish! It's really big and heavy!". And when Jennifer started laughing really hard, Regina went "the fish is hyperventilating!" which just made us laugh even more.
5. Zhenglaoshi's "wo hui ba ni sa diao ah!" We're all still here, so...
6. Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I tell you, it's hilarious. I love Yamamoto's "oh, it's a game. okay!" attitude. I also love Gokudera's undying determination to be the perfect right-hand man (OMG PLEASE THE DYNAMITES HAHAHAHAHA). It's a wonderful way to spend your holidays: afternoons filled with baseball bats, dynamites, yo-yos, dying-will bullets, sponge turtles (don't ask) and cooking that's so bad it'll kill you. No, really.
7. Ouran High. People grow mushrooms in the background (literally) whenever they fall into depression. Need I say more?
8. Pamela's hypothesis A: "Shakespeare was Buddhist?!"
Pamela's hypothesis B: "Malcolm is gay?!"
9. That episode in Fullmetal Panic, when Sousuke tried to do Japanese Literature and couldn't help but take everything literally (and militarily). "The frog jumped into the pond and made ripples in the water. So? Does it have anything to do with the mission?" And the conversation between him and Kaname that happened in probably about three seconds:
K: "You go look for him. NOW!'
S: "Roger!" (runs off to Staff Room)
S: (returns) "I went to look for him!"
K: "How was it?"
S: "He wasn't there!"
K: (WHACK)
Three seconds.
10. That moment in Midori Days, when the guy's best friend bounced up to him and yelled "MAN YOU'RE AWESOME WORD'S GOING ROUND THAT YOU SMASHED YOUR FIST INTO THAT GANGSTER'S CAR AND TOTALLY DESTROYED HIS CAR BONNET". Then the guy bolted to his feet and smashed his fist onto the desk and yelled back "DO YOU THINK I COULD DO THAT?!"
Being able to laugh is a blessing. SO LAUGH! :D
