The Weirdos (Episode 3: The Weird Violent-Moodswings Woman)

To those who have waited for this 3rd episode. Actually I didn't wanna write this 3rd episode. Been thru hard times ... so I wasn't really in the mood. I wish I could jump straight to episode 5, which is going to be the finale... but.. to reach five, one has to pass three and four, first.. so here goes.. _______________________________________________________________________

The Weird Violent Moodswings Woman

Let me tell you about this girl. She is a bit crazy. Somehow she has this ‘jutek’ look and it’s all natural. But I thought it’s fine. Cz I too was known for my jutek look back in college. But apparently, she has also a strange personality that goes with that jutek look.
My friend told me she was a depressed woman. Somehow feeling that the world is just sooo sooo cruel.. you know?.. just like those drug addicts in the movies. So yes, she likes to get high on marijuanas (which is fine, cz I do too), likes to drink (I do too), and take some anti depressant pills (this I don’t do). So somehow I thought, “god, life must be cruel to her…”
 Have you ever watched “failure to launch”?.. there was ‘Kit’, the girl with strange moodswings played by Zooey Deschanel…? Well that was the cute version of a girl with moodswings… But this woman here, she's more like the girl in “Prozac Nation”… Always looking for trouble, and cause uneasiness to her surroundings.
 
I imagined her being from a broken family, had an unloving mother, a bad sister or any other reason for being depressed. But no!!.. Her family was just fine. Yes she lost her father when she was young.. but that’s still not a good reason, cz her mother is still there. Her mother was very educated, so her family is financially fine.. And she’s not even dating anyone. So there’s definitely no hatred for a step-father. Her sister was fine. And her aunt and cousin (whom I ‘ve met) were okay and were very kind to me. So I thought, this girl should not have any reason to be depressed and act depressed. But the most important thing is that she shows this attitude to public. She shows that she’s somehow depressed, and somehow, often her presence becomes annoyance, not only to ppl who don’t know her, but more importantly to her own friends.
One time, she was mad to my friend (who should be closer to her than to myself, since she had known her before I did) bcz of a simple incident in cinema. The day after, she won’t even talk to my friend. She was practically sitting in front of me and her (my friend).. and she was talking only to me. Oohh so weird.
Another thing that is the most irritating, according to her friends, which in this case was my new friends that time, was the fact that she had this boy best friend who apparently had a big crush on her. (read: ngarep!!). Well, the thing is, everytime they had a quarrel (of course, they're weirdos, do u think they’re not gonna hv a quarrel?), she lets out this destructive mood that would kill any fun her friends were having.

She, and her violent mood swings… that’s her!
In my personal case, I had troubles understanding what she wanted. One time she was mad bcz she thought I was putting sleeping pills to the drinks in the club.. (dooh??.. such a weirdo).. Then the next time we had lunch and she told my friend that it was the perfect date she always wanted…(??).. but then, the same day, at the evening we met with our friends to see a movie and she ended up being mad to all her friends just bcz they took the seats in the middle. While, I, the one who picked her up, and did not know most of her friends, was left sitting alone (of course I expected her to sit beside me)… And after the movie, she suddenly was letting out all this bad mood and personalities to me on the phone, telling me that she was pissed off of the situation and all.. (doohhh??.. I thought I was the one who should be pissed off of the situation back at the cinema).. well the next day, she didn’t want to say a word to my friend (the one I told before).
She told my friend I was the perfect guy, we had the perfect date, her mother always pushed her to be with me, she even told her to marry me, and so did most of her aunties… yet, she always had this bad prejudices abt me. And she still lets out this everlasting bad temperament and violent moods whenever I called. (??).. A Suggestion: Do you do that to a guy u like.. (but then I remember watching Prozac Nation on DVD, played by Christina Ricci.. so much like her)
But let’s just go straight to the end. One day I asked her out for dinner. But then her also-psycho boy best friend got jealous and went totally ngambek dan gak penting abbess…
Then I told her how I was sick of both of them and their strange ngambek tendencies. She said sorry, and thanked me for being honest. She said she will respect me from then on bcz I told her the truth (that most of their friends don’t like em), and hope that maybe she could introspect!
But…. The next day, she called my friend (without knowing that I was there just beside her listening to the conversation), and she was very mad at me. Asking why I was so mean. Apparently she had told almost all her friends abt what I did, what I said, tried to get support…. Whatt??.. what’s with the thank you the day before?.. and the sorry?.. and the introspection?... hahahahhahhaa
She was totally mad and furious. And she thought I was the one who’s weird and they were the normals. (fyi, since then she and her best friend are called ‘the normalz’.. as opposed to ‘the weirdos’.. bcz they think they’re the normal ppl, the common,.. and we are the ones who were strange and weird for thinking that they’re weird).. a bit cofusing innit?..
 
Well there you have it.. !
A strange weird woman with Violent-moodswings, who always blame people, blame the world. She will never accept that her destructive moodswings have been causing irritations from her presence. Marijuanas, anti-depressant were her escape from this ever-cruel world of hers. Of course, she consumes those with all her weird friends… I guess that’s why the world is just so cruel…

Sepuluh Tahun (lyric)

by Raygava 2005

Sepuluh Tahun


Tahukah bahwa dari dulu aku memuja dirimu
Dan kusimpan dalam hati
Tahun demi tahun tlah berganti
Entah mengapa kamu masih disini

Ingat masa SMA aku sering jemput dia
Kutunggunya di luar sekolah
Bertahun-tahun aku mencoba
Coba tuk temukan apa yang salah

*Tapi entah mengapa slama ini dirimu tak pernah
menjadi milikku
Dan kini kau akan menikahi dirinya.. takkan kubiarkan terjadi..

Selama waktu masih tersedia
Ku akan pastikan dirimu untukku
Sepuluh tahun kutunggu dirimu
Untuk bersamaku ... slamanya

Entah sudah berapa pria dan dan berapa wanita yang hadir di dalam hidup kita
Pernahkah terlintas di benakmu bila aku menjadi kisah cintamu

Datang dan Pergi (lyric)

by Raygava, 2005

Datang dan Pergi

Jangan engkau pergi dulu
Berikanlah padaku
Sebuah kesempatan
Tuk jelaskan padamu

Sebelum kau melangkah pergi dariku lagi
Tunggulah sebentar saja
Biarkan aku bicara

Walau semua tak percaya
Betapa aku setia
Aku selalu menanti
Walau kau datang dan pergi

Jika nanti kau kembali, aku kan ada disini
Ku harap suatu hari nanti,
Engkau berhenti berlari

*Walau aku terombang-ambing dalam cintamu
Namun ku akan setia menunggu
Bila engkau memutuskan tuk datang dan pergi
Namun ku akan senantiasa disini

Jangan engkau pergi lagi
tinggalkan aku sendiri
Walau ku tlah terbiasa
kehilangan dirimu

Sebelum kau melangkah pergi dariku lagi
Tunggulah sebentar saja
Biarkan aku bicara

*Walau aku terombang-ambing dalam cintamu
Namun ku akan setia menunggu
Bila engkau memutuskan tuk datang dan pergi
Namun ku akan senantiasa disini

Cara Pergi ke Bandung (lyric)

Cara Pergi ke Bandung


Terbawa ku teringat kan masa lalu
Namun tak kan pernah ada mesin waktu
Tuk mengantarku pergi dari tempat ini
Menembus jaman dan mengenang dirimu

Betapa kita sudah berubah kawan
Selalu terpaku melihat masa depan
Namun diam-diam aku masih mencoba mengenang
Dan menemukan lagi jalan untuk kembali

Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu

Ingat saat dulu kusering merenung
Dari tempat kududuk menatap gunung
Namun itu masa lalu seperti kata temanku
Tapi ku tak peduli, aku ingin kembali

Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu

Sekarang semua sudah sangat berbeda
Tak seperti saat kita masih muda
Namun diam-diam aku masih terus mencoba
Dan menemukan lagi jalan untuk kembali

Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu
Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu

The Weirdos (Episode 1: The Weird Broken Woman)

In the following series of posts, I will introduce you to the world of weirdos....
There are so many types of weirdos in this world (n i've been seeing much more of 'em in the past year or so..). So something must be wrong with the world. You could be a weirdo yourself... hell, i could even be a weirdo. (definitely a weirdo to the weirds!).

__________________________________________________________________
The Weird Broken Woman

Ohhh she's so weird... she's so damn weird...
That's because she never knew what she wants. Always obsessed by the ideal world pegged in her mind. But her ideal world may not be ideal at all. Being accustomed to lies throughout her life, she may not know what is real and what is not, which ones are the truth and which ones are sweettalks...
Finding light (dats what she thinks) when it is actually a lie. Finding happiness (dats what she also thinks) when it's actually a cover up of her loneliness. Finding freedom when it's actually her road to pandemonium...

She has been broken
(not by me that is, I've only been tryin to give another chance to someone who has f*cked up bad in life,.. and gonna continue so). Or maybe her brain is also broken? Cz, doesn't it need only a mere logic to understand those differences?.. Well, she has been broken, and she is weird. The only question is whether i should put the word 'therefore' between 'and' and 'she', or not. . .?? (see? ... u need brain to understand the last sentence!)

Do i feel sad? yes..
Cz I know she's not happy.. cz i know she's falling apart. Cz i know she's just too comfortable in her own world of lies, deceit, falsified happiness, and denials. She will say she was hurt, and that has been a major excuse for pretty much everything, but nothing's gonna change if she keeps hiding in her 'comfort zone' of false happiness. She's in an abyss, she has been,.... and maybe in it she will always be.

"Remember,... the light at the end of the tunnel, may be you!.." (the outro of "Amazing - Aerosmith")
yeah yeah.. i know it may be me... but i think she will still be stuck in the tunnel, til i dunno when.
