Tittle-Tattle

why do some people talk so much. yak yak yak talk talk bicker chitter chatter gibber gabble blabber palaver omg its like a freakin' gabfest! sometimes i just wanna tune them out i don't wanna hear anymore insignificant clacking i need to get away run run run away to a cave and hide for a good 20 minutes. yes 20 minutes meditation should do the trick. i hope...

sigh. cant a girl just have a little solitude? is it too much to ask. if i dont smile i'd seem pissed, which i'm not. and so when the act of smiling became a social mandatory, it would seem more like a chore, just like how you'd have to stop and make small talks with people that don't mean jack to either party. they always ask 'hi how are you' and you answer 'i'm great thanks how bout yourself' (not to forget plastering a huge smile on your face), even if sometimes you're just not doing great. but who cares. they're just asking because that's a form of greeting and courtesy; whilst you're just answering because it's the right thing to do and its a courteous reply. if you do tell them how your day was, for all you know, they might be rolling their eyes in their mind, thinking to themselves 'oh god why did i even bother asking now i'm stuck with this dude telling me all about his/her day doesnt he know he's wasting my time and time is money'. haha it'd be even funnier if they don't even remember your name. :D

ok maybe i'm being a little too extreme here. not all people ask just because. some do care, i know. i'm only referring to those who don't. yet somehow i've gotten used to it because i know most of them do it out of habit and it's just the way they roll. its a culture thing, and you'd find many asians get irked by this a lot because people back there don't do this. they just don't realize asians have their own cultural small talks too! like: instead of asking 'how are you' they'll ask 'have you eaten' which is subsequently followed by 'what did u have' and the small talk proceeds. often it'd involve prices, how cheap/expensive and where to get cheap stuff hahaha.

eh how did i get to this topic, i wasn't gonna write about this. seems that its rubbing off on me i've somehow learnt the art of gibbering too. -.-|| noooooo~!
