Shurikens and paper hearts
We sat together, talking about high school. I asked him if he graduated from a public school, he said yes. He asked me if I graduated from a private school, I said yes. He asked me if it was an exclusive girl school, I said yes. Then he said "I wish I went to an all girl school." I laughed hard. That's Igor for you.
He was busy doodling, making meaningless shapes. "I am going to draw you the cutest snail you will ever see," I told him.
This was the snail i came up with. He laughed then proceeded to draw a snail himself.
I couldn't believe it. His snail was cuter than mine. I looked up at him, and he was beaming. He knew my snail was no longer the cutest in the world.
I got bored. I started folding a little paper heart out of the writing the both of us were supposed to be doing. He watched me carefully, and I looked up now and again, enjoying his fascination. When I was done, I gave the heart to him.
He examined it, the way a doctor would examine his patient. Then he tore a piece of his notebook, and started folding away. I caught myself watching with the same fascination he displayed minutes before. When he was done, he handed his creation to me.
It was a shuriken. I couldn't help but laugh at the utter juvenility of it. He was laughing too.
For a moment, I couldn't look at him and he was evading my eyes too. And to break the silence I said, "Thank you." But I didn't know exactly what I was thanking him for.
---------------I am such a dork, but I want that best-seller collection e-book. NAO PLOX.
Haha.

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
