confabulation \kon-FAB-yuh-lay-shuhn\, noun:
1. Familiar talk; easy, unrestrained, unceremonious conversation.
2. (Psychology) A plausible but imagined memory that fills in gaps in what is remembered.
see fiends, if we knew this word we could call the throbbing mass a Confabulation instead of uhh.. Mothership Brain.
hmm i've been having them bouts of moochness too but unlike rachel and christine i have no qualms about leaving my younger sis behind. of course, in a way i think my being gone will be a good thing for her though; it's glaringly obvious she feels that she hasn't gotten as much praise or attention in general as i have for silly things like schoolwork. especially since she's in those late secondary school years when most people come to terms with themselves, probably healthier for her to form identity without feelings of inferiority casting a looming shadow. if i were a more patient or understanding person i might actually talk to her about it but since she infuriates me so damn much i just hope she realises it of her own accord. haha, i'm so used to our brusqueness that it's sort of disruptive to make any overtures towards reconciliation. both of us are oddly proud that way.
but i'll miss other little people! like my second cousin sarah and her friend naufal whom i've been tutoring for their PSLE. sometimes they got on my nerves but i realised today it's quite touching and sweet the way they look up to me just because i'm old and because they glimpsed my PSLE cert in my study room, heh. both of them were neighbours when they were wee, so their famiiles remained pretty close and they hang out all the time even though they split up to go to different schools. very entertaining to watch them bicker in that primary 6 girls-versus-boys mindset, because they try so hard to adhere to that social construct instructing them to insult each other all the damn time even though they would sorely miss each other if they actually thought to sever ties.
me: so what you all do today?
naufal: i went sarah's house, then she and her sisters and my sisters played stupid girl games.
me: like what?
sarah: beauty pageant! we all were contestants.
naufal: yah, then they make me become the judge.
me: hahaha. so who won?
naufal: sarah said if i didn't announce her as the winner i cannot play her computer later.
and then, later --
naufal: sarah always telling me about monica.
me: who's monica?
naufal: dunno lah! always painting her nails one.
sarah: not monica lah, stupid! manicure!
