Money money money money money!

No, I do not think that I'm too old for a Hijikata plushie. And a Sasuke plushie.
It's not that I use them to cuddle and act all mushy and stuff. Not much, anyway. Most of the time I shove my fist into Hijikata's disproportionate head.
They can't sit up nicely anyway.
I'm considering getting a Naruto plushie next. As for Okita...well, the thought does occur to me, but I think I'd lose it if suddenly I find Hijikata one head shorter. Or blown to pieces.
...
And paying RM35.90 for KH2 OST is definitely not something I would feel sorry about. I mean, hey, it's time to actually show that I do enjoy KH and its associated media.
And I was relieved that the next KH installment is meant for the PSP! So now I've to work hard so that I can say that it's all worth it!
Next aim: Pass my First Pro exam, then get a PSP!
So there.
Smirk.

Beyond Words

It's when Raya is around the corner that I cannot help but think: What exactly does it mean when somebody says sorry?
A) "I feel awful for being such an inconsiderate person in that I failed to pause and wonder if my next step would bring you immeasurable distress?"
B) "I regret for having caused you much grief, and will see to it that it shall not repeat in the future"
C) "I know I shouldn't have done it, but I had to (or, I just did). Now that I'm asking for forgiveness, it naturally follows that you should forgive me"
D) "I suppose I did make you feel sad/angry/annoyed/etc, but I can't remember any right now, so I'll just do this because it's tradition"
E) "Oh, heck, everyone's doing it. I'll just follow the crowd"

But I'd like to point out that whatever one's answer may be, in some (most?) cases it's easy to forgive but not easy to forget.

So what _does_ forgiveness actually mean?

A dictionary defines it as "stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense, flaw, or mistake".

I mean, it actually helps that forgive=/=forget, because otherwise, we'll be ignorant of the fact that it could happen some other time even after the negative emotions have long subsided. We'll just get mad all over again, and the whole process will repeat itself...until one party decides that he/she has had enough of it all.

Of course, some people never learn.
