I studied about territorial behavior last semester in HP102 and had thought it a phenomenon that guys were more prone to exhibit and encounter. For the benefit of those of you who don't know what territorial behavior means, basically, it is when people try to hold on to a place or a thing that is of little or no value to them, simply because someone else is eyeing it.
How wrong I was. I guess when you meet girls that are like Edie Britt in your own life, or someone who resembles her, in her "feel" more than looks (sorry guys out there! ), claws are bound to be sharpened. I should think it silly that such a situation should arise, since the exhibition of territorial behavior is over something completely undesired... or is it? Most of us crave attention... I guess "Edie" is the ultimate.
Nevermind that. It's probably just a passing phase. There's been too much desperate housewives' viewing last Sunday at my place. Can you imagine almost 6 episodes straight of it?!!! It wasn't even the end of it when i finally gave up watching and headed into the sanctuary of my room, which wasn't much of a sanctuary. What with the people who just lie on my bed as if i know them very well and those who hog my computer very weekend like they were deprived of it at home. I'm certain that God does not want me to be speaking ill of anyone, but really! I'm up to the brim with the kind of nasty feelings i have for these people. Sometimes i feel that they don't really like my family, but they have to pretend to because of I guess a bit of clannishness and a large bulk of monetary reasons.
Seriously! I can't help but feel that they are nice to us for some motive... Only a number of them, who like to taunt me with statements like : " Your mum always says you are so smart!", but they mean the very opposite.. and the amusing thing is the sarcasm is either very badly concealed or very liberally laced. I especially can't stand it when people ask me to make my mum buy stuff for me when i whine a little about being unable to afford certain things. Don't they understand that my mum isn't an ATM machine? Hello?!!!! Wake up and smell the coffee!
I can't even get my mum to understand what's going on out there because i'm supposedly sworn to secrecy. So darn it. Here i am pouring my unhappiness about this whole darn matter to a computer screen! In any case, I've learnt over the years, in greater depth each time that the verse, " God save me from my friends, I'll save myself from my enemies." has great truth, but " God save me from my close ones, I'll save myself from my enemies" perhaps has more truth.
