Jojo is an emotional wreck. She slept for three hours last night because she was too nervous to sleep, so she is currently sleep deprived. Not to mention the interview still has some after effect on her. Hence, she is an emotional wreck, for now.
And that is why she almost cried after watching Edward saved Al, and they lived happily ever after! Okay, she doesn't know if they live happily ever after, but Al is saved, and the world is saved too! Well, their world, and everything is fine. So for now, it's happily ever after for Jojo (And Jojo's eyes are swimming with unshed tears because she is so touched, but shh... you don't need to know that).
Don't worry, she will return to normal after a good night sleep and some ice-cream.

Attention span (ahem) getting shorter
I think... my attention span is getting shorter and shorter. Not that I'm proud of it or what.
I used to take a day or two to finish a book. Now I take a week or two (if I didn't forget about the book by that time) to finish a book. Reason: I can't get beyond 10 pages in one reading. Which is kinda sad, because I used to be able to read a book in one go if no one interrupts me.
I have never been a fan of TV shows. I can't stay still to watch a movie, unless you bring me to the cinema, which then, I will be forced to sit there and watch the whole thing (but you will see me checking the time constantly to see how long it will be before the movie ends and I can move about again), nor am I fond of drama series which need me to constantly keep track of what's going on.
I can watch anime, which is usually 20 minutes, more or less, per episode. But I take breaks between episodes. I can never go on marathon, movie, series (with the exception of Fringe, which I am obsessed with, and dying to get my hands on season 3, except that it's not even out yet), or anime.
But now, my attention is seriously getting worse. I can't even finish watching a 20-mins anime without pausing a few times in between to go do some other things! I'm currently watching an anime on Youtube, and every episode has three parts, roughly 8-9 mins a part, and I stopped at least once when watching every part.
Apparently, my attention span is now shorter than the estimated 8 minutes span. It is now approximately 4 minutes. Seriously. Just let me narrate a bit on what I do in the afternoon these few days (when I'm not being an Ahmad for my siblings).
Load Youtube videos, open fiction pages, check my Google Reader, click on lotsa articles that interest me, check out blogs, watch videos for like 4 mins, read half a page of a fiction, click MORE articles from my Google Reader, read one of the articles that I clicked, read blog, read half a page of the article, go back and finish the fiction that I abandoned half way, finish watching the video, read one of the articles that I clicked, go off and kacau my siblings, read another article, go and TV-surf, watch another video halfway, head off to find food.
Ah yes... it's a mess, I know. Makes me wonder how am I going to survive when I'm working, and I won't have the luxury to have an attention span that is only 4 minutes long.
I think... I better start working on making my attention span longer.

My gullible sister
This is totally pointless, but since I'm bored, and one day I'm gonna look back and remember my sis used to be this gullible.
Bro: Eh... my friend said the spelling competition will be on air ler. Die.
Sis: What spelling competition? What on a-
Me: (interrupts sis before she can finish so that Bro will have no time to answer) On air means the competition will be held on an aeroplane.
Sis: Wah, TKY, you take part in competition ar?
Bro: (smugs) Ya lar, peringkat daerah some more. (stops for a while) But then, I'm probably gonna blank out when I'm on air.
Me: (smirks) You better not do as horribly as the people in the Spelling Bee competition which I happened to watch in Kuantan. I'll disown you, seriously.
Sis: (ignores Me) Why blank out? Being on plane trying to spell things very scary mer?
(Bro and I stare at my sis for a moment, speechless)
Me: .... Being on air means it will be broadcasted.
Sis: (stuns) Not on aeroplane?
So, yes, my sis can be quite gullible at times.
And not to forget, my sis INSISTED that I tell the world that she's back from NS. Hence my house has been noisier than it used to be two weeks ago.
But of course, that means an extra sibling to bully and laugh at and tease and annoy. So I really can't complain. :D

Chasing my muse
Two days ago, I was rereading one of the one-shots (because I was bored) that I didn't manage to finish. And of course, being the slacker that I am, naturally I have a few lying around, just waiting for me to complete them.
It so happened that I usually remember the plot that I planned out for those fics even though I have left them hanging for quite some time. So, when I was reading the one that was supposed to be completed looooong ago, which was suggested by Farah, suddenly, my muse came back! (Which might not be such a weird thing, except that I haven't had this overwhelming urge to write ever since I stepped into university.) And my brain was filled with all the words and sentences that flowed perfectly for the continuation of the fic!
Happily, I settled down comfortably, prepared to finish the darn one-shot that I left hanging for ages. Then I saw the digits on the clock. Damn... it was late, and I needed to shower! Indecision warred inside of me. Should I finish my one-shot, and shower waaaaaaaay later, or shower first and hope my muse will not abandon me while I shower?
In the end, I decided to shower first, which I did quite quickly, and then, when I settled back and prepared to start writing, I realised my muse had went away.
Darn.
And even though I tried writing anyways, the words just didn't seem right, and in the end, even though I left what I wrote there, the next time I read it again, I probably will delete the whole section off anyways.
