“Copy from one it’s plagiarism copy from two it’s research.”

Do you ever have this? 

It could be just a thought of a pro-procrastinator like myself, but then, I think everyone is pretty pro at it.

You come up with something really amazing on the paper, but you can’t keep it there because…oh bloody hell…because you don’t have something to cite it.

It’s something pretty obvious to everyone, but not obvious enough to be universal..

So then, I try looking for some document that has the basic gist of what I came up with to cite.

It hurts me.. it hurts me. 

****

Oh God, I just realized… this coming summer is the last summer of my life…possibly. 

I believe when you’re procrastinating anything on the inter-web becomes interesting, therefore I figure, so will my post be. heh

This post is about couple things that people do to me that make me feel violated. Of course, it can be drastically different in other cultures but I believe in this part of the world, not invading the comfort zone is crucial.

1. Line

I was standing in the bus line and this fellow came and stood extremely close to me. Okay, fine, maybe you misjudged the distance because you were distracted or something. I then, moved up a little to leave some breathing space, but then that fellow moves up closer to me again. I move away a bit more to the point where I’m starting to invade the person in front of me. The fellow inches up closer AGAIN. 

DAMMIT

2. Stranger Drama

When total strangers include you in their dramas. Ever had that? It’s not pleasant.

For instance, you’re at a store and two people are arguing. The first person slaps the second person and dashes out. You happen to be close to the incident and inevitably are looking at the scene. The second person stares at you and like gives you the “can you believe that?” look…and kind of, waits for your reaction/response. 

You’re not sure what happened. You don’t even know if you should be taking sides or anything, but it feels like they’re pressuring to side with them…not cool.

3. Give Me A Laugh Stare Down

Your friend just made a lame joke. It’s really not that funny, maybe it was even a bit offensive. No laughter is coming out, you don’t even want to laugh. 

Then they stare at you…  lean into your comfort zone and just stare. They stare at you kind of giggling because of the joke they just told that wasn’t funny. They are looking at you with eager eyes that won’t leave you alone until you puff out a small phony laughter. 

4. Can’t Walk Straight Much? 

Some people don’t walk straight. They slowly start invading your lane. Then you have to move slightly away… but that doesn’t stop the invasion, obviously.
