Aww, I am going to miss Deny, a friend of mine who has just gone to Alberta yesterday. I only have a few close friends here, and one of them has just gone to the other side of Canada :(. She is the one I used to talk to about different kinds of stuff such as anime, movies, etc. during Grade 12 since she was my seatmate during Family Studies and Calculus and one of my companions during lunch. Too bad, she wasn't able to come last Friday but it was kind of her fault. The last time we had been able to hang out was last Wednesday when we decided to go downtown. Hay naku, Deny *sighs*. I hope she comes back to Toronto next year during vacation. My most memorable moments with Deny? The one-equals-zero moment. The juicy-lips moment. And the hey-you-touched-my-private-part incident. Hahaha XD.

I hate it when a person promises to call you, then he or she completely forgets about it, and then I keep waiting for his or her call like an idiot. Of course, I feel ashamed to call the person first since the person has said that he or she will do it. That happened to me two times this week from the same person. Ugh, it's really annoying. I didn't even get to hang out with her this week because of that. And the fact that she doesn't call me first makes me feel like she's trying to avoid me or something like that. I am the one who had to call her first but maybe, I guess she really is busy with work and school stuff but it still makes me think if I did something rude the last time we were together.

I don't want to be a drag or a party pooper but I have never been a fan of Halloween. But then again, I hate all made-up holidays. I also think one should know when is it finally time to stop trick-or-treating. I think once you hit your 20's or even when you're still 18 or 19, you should probably stop the yearly ritual of asking for candies from neighbors whom you rarely showed politeness, kindness and hospitality towards. It's now your turn to give the tooth-decaying candies and sweets to the kids. Because guess what? It's not cute to see a bunch of teenagers who are oversized for their childish costumes asking for sweets from neighbors anymore. It's only adorable when you were a kid. It's okay if you're accompanying children but don't use the children as an excuse to go trick-or-treating though. Time to get out of that Batman or Wonderwoman outfit.

All actors who are capable of and comfortable with portraying gay characters are real men, and that also goes for actresses playing lesbian characters. Only a real man or woman won't feel awkward when kissing another person of the same sex, whether straight or not. To actors who can't even accept a gay/lesbian role, they are not only homophobes but they are also unwilling to try different, daring and versatile roles, something that they aren't used to and can't relate to that much, which shows that they don't have what it takes to act.
