emo-ness

My female owner had an ultra-emo day yesterday. She just felt like being emo, even though there was nothing really wrong in her life. Or maybe, there is really something wrong in her life, since she is emo over nothing! Anyway, she was largely stressed over her research work and tutor responsibilities.

For the first time ever, she showed her emo-ness to some of her bible study group friends over email. This is just a group of six individuals who spent one random night playing the boardgame Man Law Woman Rule (apparently, this is a really fun and eye-opening game to play, if you want to know your friends better) and thereafter, kept chatting over email.

In the midst of her emo-ness, she received an email from a good fren who was mega-emo. My female owner then tore herself away from her own emo-ness, in order to draft a supportive email back. But she got sucked deeper into the emo vibes. She also found out that one of her friends is using drugs and felt responsible (but helpless) to do anything about it.

At night, she went for a prayer meeting held in the house of one of her bible study group friends (who cooked a yummy beef noodle soup for everyone! So sweet!!). She was touched when one of them recalled the contents of her email and asked if she would like to be prayed for (people are actually processing what she wrote!). The night ended with her practicing for worship with some of her friends. Everyone was tired and couldn’t coordinate properly (timing, pitch etc), but they had great fun in the midst of the chaos.

Coming home, she found out that she actually clocked less than 75mins for her 10km run on Sunday. That was a pleasant surprise, coz she thought she would take two hours, although she was aiming for less than 85mins. In fact, her timing was faster than any of her previous attempts in Singapore (especially her first attempt when she was 23yo, so ageing hasn’t affected her speed, something to cheer about.)

Hmmm..

And this morning, her supervisor told her that the introduction draft (which she submitted to him last night) was good for her thesis, that it had the logic required and well, basically she just had to tighten it to use it in publications.

Phew. Some headway made, after working on that introduction for a few weeks.

Definitely less emo today.
