it's no easy task ok. it's been a long time since i cancelled on everybody and stayed meditatively at home. i meant to stay home and do a spot of soul searching but in the end i think i got on the nerves of a few certain people of whom i would deign to mention one. i got so asininely bored i played fetch with my dog. i laid on him while he was sleeping on the floor, i made him do smiley faces while he was happily dreaming. i got him to shake hands with me using his right paw, then his left, now his right, then his left, right left right left left right right left right left. HAHAHAHAHA.. i started laughing when he got superbly pissed and bored. i can tell ok. i think the last straw came when i was watching tv for the past 5 hours and i reached over to tickle his ear while he was flopping down on his side. he emitted this long sigh and ran out of the door and stayed there till my parents came home.
i was quite hurt at being thus rejected.
and then i remembered this incident with another dog years ago. i was inspired after watching Pocahontas and i decided to "go whereever the wind takes me". i wandered out of the house and the wind led me down the back way towards the stadium, then towards the playground. it basically led me in circles and finally i decided to be brothers with this poor puppy dog tied up against this tree--just as how Pocahontas was brothers with the Heron and the Otter. if you don't know what i'm talking about, shut up and keep your comments to yourself, you've had a very deprived childhood tt's all i can say.
so i went up to the dog and tried to understand its doggy language. "Que Que Natura" that's what grandmother willow told Pocahontas.. it means "Listen with your heart, you will understand". so.. i listened to my heart, and i heard the dog telling me it wanted to befriend me. As i recalled from Julie and The Wolves, you never look a wolf in the eye; that's the first step to approach them and gain their trust. As dogs are cousins with Wolves, and since i was about to be Brothers with that puppy, i did as the book said. With the wind and the heart and the book all guiding me, i thought this was it, i'm going up to that puppy and attain a new level of understanding with that species. Like some horse whisperer, i was going to be the first dog whisperer.
yeah right. the stupid dog flung itself stupidly at me in utter madness and sank its claws into my thighs while trying desperately to lick my chin.
OUCH
i slunked away in shame. No more idealisms for Joyce POPs anymore.
P.S this is for you dearie. i want more aeroplane guessing games, twister, Mad, Jenga, CandyLand (if u really insist you sick deprived idiot), badminton and cable skiing and ... oh tonnes. you mean more to me than you give credit for :) Joyce Lim unzipped at 1:51 AM with 1 comments
