The rest of his classmates were mysteriously absent, they weren't really the sort to saunter off to class early, cautiously he went over. 

"Hey" he said, deciding wisely against a light tap on her shoulder. He called out her name a few more times, glancing around  hopefully for help. 

He tapped the table twice. She still didn't stir. He tapped louder and looked around again. When he looked back, she was glowering at him. 

"What."

"The bell rang." he said softly. 

"So? You didn't need to be banging the table right?" And with remarkable speed she gathered her things and strode off, just as their classmates slowly reappeared, looking quizzically.

Sometimes people just frustrate me. 

Just another starstruck (see above for evidence*) wanderer trying to find his way in this horribly confusing and sometimes messed up world.

This space as you might have realised is for my own venting. It's where I talk, to myself. To the universe. It's where I don't lie. Much. Chances are you won't get more truth out of me than these few billion pages of angst.

My life isn't that bad. Sometimes. The good parts just usually end up being the blank dates in between the posts you see. So yes, just to practice my math and to cheer myself up a little, the number of posts is inversely proportional to my mental wellbeing. Yes that counts as math with me.

And despite the wry smile on my face and the grin I can imagine on yours, I'm still rather sombre.

I promise you I'm sunny somedays. Stick around. You never know what you may learn.
