I was trying to concentrate on my Physics notes at
midnight... F = ma, v = u + at...
As these equations ran through my head, I wonder how
is it we can explain nature with just a few formulas
and equations and accept it as science. If that is
the case, why aren't we unable to accept astrology
and palmistry and label them as superstition instead?
In my opinion, science should be only one of the ways
to explain what goes on around us. Therefore, if we
can’t explain something through science, it
doesn't necessary mean that's it is superstition.
As it approaches 1a.m., I decided that since I can't
get anything into my head, I shall try my luck on
online to look for her.
"Slorr, you here?"
"Finally... Good night to you. :)"
'Finally'? What a strange word to use here. What is
she doing here at this hour? I guessed she must be
feeling down again.
"Yes. It is fate that brought me to you at this
moment."
I am trying very hard to convince her that I am slightly
romantic.
"Slorr, this has nothing to do with fate. I already
waited for you for an hour."
"Are you sure or not? What for?"
"I was waiting to talk to you. Otherwise, I can't
sleep..."
"Are you sick? If you are please go and see the
doctor. :)"
"Slorr, let's continue our topic. What do you
think of relationships that started from the internet?"
Oh my god. How should I answer her now?
"It's… It's very romantic..."
I am indeed not a good liar. Even my words are shaking.
"Slorr, you are bluffing. You said you were not
romantic."
Game Over! I am finished! I guess I have no choice
but to drown my sorrows with Tye.
"Slorr, are you lagging? Or are you simply ignoring
me?"
"No. I was just wondering why is tonight’s
sky so beautiful."
"No no no. Don’t try to avoid the topic..."
Sigh. I give up. I asked for it myself.
"Actually, I think relationships that start from
cyberspace are Romantic because romance gives people
an impression of being unreal and cyberspace is in
a virtual space."
"Slorr, that's interesting..."
"Online web surfers keep a safe distance from
each other and they can be categorised as three types
of people. The first type presents themselves online
with their 'secondary personality'. Usually all of
us consist of multiple personalities and we usually
present ourselves to the world with our 'primary personality'
in everyday life. The secondary personality is usually
suppressed and we might not realize the existence
of this secondary personality within us. The internet
is the place where this side of us is revealed, both
intentionally or without conscious knowledge."
"Is it true? What about the second type?"
"The second type consists of those who will transform
themselves into the kind of man/woman he/she would
want to be. There's bound to be one or two characteristics
that you admire particularly. However, sometimes it
is too bad that we don’t possess these characteristics
in the real life. Cyberspace is the perfect location
for this transformation to occur."
"Slorr, are you bluffing me? What about type
three?"
"I am not bluffing you. I read about this from
an article in Times magazine! Type three consists
of people who will transform themselves into characters
which are impossible for them to become in real life.
For example, if you are a girl, you may act as a man
online. You may even become Batman or Superman if
you want."
"Hmm... That’s pretty amazing."
"The first type is the 'faithful' type, because
he presented his actual personality online.
The second type is the 'foolish' type, because he
knows only how to admire others, but ends up forgetting
about his strengths. The third type is the 'pathetic'
type, because he is wishing for something impossible."
"Slorr, then what type do you belong to? What
about me?"
"I don’t wish to believe you are type three
because I am not. I crossed the possibility of you
being type one because it is too common and I think
you are special. In addition, the fact that I was
able to attract you made me think that I am at least
a bit special. Hence, I feel that we belong to type
two."
"Type two? Then who do you wish to become?"
I would certainly like to become a person like Tye
who is humorous, romantic and eloquent as I lacked
these qualities.
"What about me Slorr?"
"You? I don’t know. You want to Fly and
Dance, and this probably means that you wish to fully
enjoy your youth while you can. However, if this is
something you wish and yet you can't achieve, then
there are two possibilities. One, you are aging. Two,
you are leaving the world."
I think I said something wrong because she stopped
replying me. I began to blame myself for being a pervert
for talking to her about these things. I should have
discussed with her about the latest celebrities' gossip
instead. Damn that Times magazine. It poisoned my
mind. I thought that she might be lagging so I waited
for a reply. The wait went on for several minutes
but it felt like several hours. I wanted to apologize
but did not know how to start until she finally replied
with this message.
"Slorr, let’s meet up."
Without hesitation, I used the hand that I had used
for eighteen years to wipe my ass and typed 'OK'.
