Is it considered cognitive dissonance if, for example, I don’t like this person because he’s very irritating and I’m always thinking unkind thoughts about him although I don’t show it outwardly and just try to avoid him, but then he goes and does a nice thing like send me flowers when I’m sick, causing me to feel majorly guilty and wondering if I should try to stop disliking him?

I love this song.
Her Name is Alice (soundtrack from Alice in Wonderland)

(Click for YouTube video.)
I told my singing teacher I seldom listen to music because the songs I like (usually melancholic melodies) depress me. Yet, I can’t stop playing this track over and over.
I had a conversation with myself this morning when the alarm woke me up at 10 am. (Another vain attempt to normalise my bio clock.)
“Sleepy. Wanna sleep somemore. Zzz.”
“Ooh but 10am. Can order Macs breakfast!”
“Do I feel like eating Macs breakfast today?”
“Hotcakes and sausages!”
“I think I feel more like a Big Mac and fries.”
“Ok fine go back to sleep.”
Yay! Just found Jolly Shandy Lychee (which is rarer than Peach) at Cold Storage. Love! Jolly Shandy makes me jolly! =)

@Devorlast: Apparently, the common practice in journalism is that the subject really has no say on the final draft or pic selection. And yeah, i give considerable weight to Sheylara’s RPG reviews too:)
Monster,
You look great in the picture…no gerbil, hamster, guinea pig or whatever….Just great!
You look great in the picture! It’s the picture that caught my attention while I’m flipping through DL. I even took time off to read the article before I go off to work.
I think you are just being overly critical about your photo lah.
I don’t care about the media. Half the things they report aren’t true anyway. (Or are proven to be not true later on). You look great.
I see nothing wrong with the photo. :D
@Sheylara: Hmm, i think you should feel at least a little better after browsing the comments here:) Honestly, you look better than fine in the article. But I agree with Jaywalk, you do have a high expectation of how your pics should turn out. It is your prerogative, after all:)
@Monster: Good one, hehe. That got me giggling:)
ohs no… butt kicking again…
there’s nothing wrong with the photo…
looks just as u would always appear to b:)
Do u still remember Failblog’s juxtaposition FAILs? :P
you look pretty in the photo. you are your worse critic i think. =)
I will try to go to X08, even if only to watch GF’s band rock, haha.
picture looks good….
Hey, the age doesn’t add up. weren’t you the editor of Playworks some six years ago? and before that, a journalist at Today? That means you were in your teens when you were at Today!

hmm… the picture does you justice… i dont like the xlive adverts… not like you at all… oh well, all the best and catch up with you some other time bah…

Nice to see you kicking butt again… Strange that you are not actually kicking anything in the picture… :o)
