Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I find that, as I grow older, I lose patience for the lesser-intelligent of my age group not in terms of book-smart, but in terms or maturity and common-sense-smart.

Looking at my previous writings on this journal and another, I find myself rather disgusted at the kind of girl I used to be. Talking about always being heartbroken and emotional and suicide... was that the kind of girl I was? And was I always so quick to jump to precarious assumptions? Had I been someone else back then with the same intellect that I posess now, I would've hated the Lina that I was. I can't even begin to explain the distaste I have in addressing that person as Lina - I will call her Waffle, the pre-Shoku.

Perhaps this intolerance is an after-effect of having the devil as an AP Expository Writing professor, and I know not if this is beneficial or hurtful to my social life. I may be able to now converse with adults while using elevated syntax and diction, but I can no longer speak to my classmates without a lack of reverence and respect. They cannot help the fact that they only think of boys and sex, porn and internet while I think of college and money, music and writing.


*NOTE: Waffle / Pre-Shoku - As many of you know, prior to my name being changed to xShokubeni, it was [WaffleStomper.] And I was as foolish as my name sounded.

PS. Using brash words to wound a person is a strong point of mine.
