The grey areas of a whiteboard...

I should get like one of those really hip, totally huge white boards
then hang it like beside my bed... with like this holder that holds on to like 6 different coloured markers, and probably dozens of magnets to stick papers and stuff for the fun of it
i mean, i don't have those boards that you can pin things on, which, btw, serves only one purpose, this will like serve a million and one purposes. For the price of one.

Of course, maybe it seems absurd for a student to want that kind of board, especially in an age where we're supposed to blatantly hate studying and basically any form of education (okay, maybe i'm stereotyping, but if you can point out like one student who never had the urge to throw all the books away and have fun, i'll probably be able to point out a star that's closer to earth than the sun) I mean, even sheldon in all his almightyness, had halo nights, countless hours manipulating Mario and planning the doom of Leonard-Penny relationships. but let's see :

House has a board
Castle has a board
Sheldon has a board
Leonard has a board
Gideon had a board
Tony had McGee's face to write all over
Brennan had Angela and all her technology
Gibbs, well Gibbs had a boat ( but that pretty much rhymes with board - if you're tone-deaf - and he's too awesome anyway )

SO why not me?
Idiosyncrasies and swooning over what can never be aside, a board seems like a really good idea for countless reasons.... It helps you pen down literally all your thoughts no matter what time it is, and once you're used to writing in the dark - and it's not like anyone's gonna complain about your handwriting since technically it's ALL YOURS - even your dreams and nightmares. There almost never will be a time when you'll have to stoop to the norm and say "you know, i thought about it a while ago, but i totally forgot what it is that i'm thinking about"

Besides, sometimes you need some chaos before order is an option, you know. if there's only order, that would be a chaotic one, and we all know what happens when complete chaos set in. Let's just say, nothing good. SO maybe, just maybe, multicoloured scribbles on the whiteboard that's so huge it may just be a wall with the addition of papers stuck everywhere on it, would be..... aesthetically pleasing.

And then there's the obvious reason : to provide a long-lasting marathon of the imagination. My first idea was actually to hang a long clothesline across the room before clipping different papers of different size on it, but imagine walking to a toilet in the dark. With that. Across the room. Thin and razor sharp. Makes saw look like a kiddy playground. Hmmm... that's an idea, but not a very good one. Coz it affects ppl. Me. and I am vital. to me. okay. not. making. sense. but. have. ideas. for. NEW nightmares.

But then, who ever uses it for what they say they are gonna use it for right?
So maybe it will just be another excuse for me to procrastinate, doodle non-stop, and in some way or other let art down in more ways than one.

But what the heck, i still wanna have it. always wanted one. never figured why, it was like this childhood obsession, then i got a small board for my room before realising small boards are stupid becoz if you are doodling, you have to keep erasing them off, and that's not the point of doodling. Doodling freaking gives you ideas. You don't wanna erase your ideas off a board, especially not when it's already out of subconscious which means, the chances of you delivering it out consciously ... would be harder, if not more painful, than labour. NOT that i have any experience in that sense.

Oh, for the perils of the board, and the people who look awesomely cool writing desperately important stuff on it. *swoons* well, as long as they are not boring, of course... haha... i'm not making any sense anymore.

as usual, when i stop making sense, i stop writing, though my friend holds this believe that that point is moot, because apparently, if that principle were to be true, i should NEVER write. Ah, what's life if I'm not pulling her pigtails,or braids, huh? :))

~singing off with a dilemma on what to do with the 2 buttons that left the rest. any thoughts?~
