let lemons be angry

The man who truly and disinterestedly enjoys any one thing in the world, for its own sake, and without caring two-pence what other people say about it, is by that very fact forearmed against some of our subtlest modes of attack. You should always try to make the patient abandon the people or food or books he really likes in favour of the "best" people, the "right" food, the "important" books.

as spoken by a demon mentor to another demon, The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis

So that's why I'm so free and happy now. I have been doing things of pure pleasure, such as sitting by the lake on my way home, and scrunching up sand in my hands. Wednesday's surprise excursion took us to sentosa, and of course there was no going back to school after that. Nobody can leave a surprise beach in midweek. And there was a happy brainless movie with butterscotch popcorn. And happy hour last night!with kiyoko, megumi and daniel playing a live set as we sat around candles on the floor.

Because I've bumped off all my classes this week, except the sentosa class, I'm going for my management lecture today for the first time. I feel very rested, and plumped up, and soothed, and comforted. :)
