Everyone goes through a phase. I go through hundreds of them...in a week. Only a few actually make it past a few hours. Some are lucky enough to last a few weeks; the others a few months.
I’m a deadly combination of a perfectionist and a VERY stubborn explorer. I explore the shit out of stuff that catch my attention. I’ll give it a few hours to sufficiently pique my interest and if it can, it becomes a phase. Have a look.
1. My titanic phase: I was at the age where one actually starts realising that the movie ‘Titanic’ has a ship and that that ship sinks and that it actually happened-16. ( The previous attempts at trying to finish the whole movie were a disaster because I was a teenager and not really interested in exploring-ahem-ships) Naturally I was intrigued. Google,as usual, ruined my life and provided me with this-
I spent a week,open mouthed and fascinatingly reading all the articles. I also did one of the stupidest things one could do -I clicked the ‘subscribe to the newsletter’ because I thought I would never grow bored reading about a ship,how life was for babies on the Titanic,how many times servants polished the floor etc. Sigh.I didnt have the heart to unsubscribe though because I, unsurprisingly, outgrew the obsession.Sigh.
No other Titanic joke was funnier ok? |
2. My Pottermore phase-Every true harry potter fan foamed at the mouth and lost their mind when Pottermore was first introduced.It was magical and super fun in the very beginning. I got a wand,learned to duel,make potions etc. As I began to progress, I realised that I’m shit at doing anything in that website.Turns out you have to finish each level to unlock the extra juicy bits that Rowling had provided.Meh.(Unless it was tips on how to punch puberty in the face one handed and blindfolded like Neville-badass-Longbottom. It’s not there. I searched)Naturally, I lost the password,the ability to gain points and not lose them for my house, and the interest and just abandoned it in the dark with Titanic.Sorry Harry.
Heh.Your flashy graphics isnt going to ma-Woah is that a pygmypuff? |
3. My ‘sign-up-for-all-sites-that-require-an-email-address’ phase-The above 2 phases are this one’s children. This was the craziest,most stressful phase of all because I was going through another phase-’use a different password for each site’. Now I admit I am neither a prodigy nor did a gleaming,totally hunk Jeremy Renner grace me with awesome memory power,except in my dream which is a blog post for another day.
So naturally, I couldnt ,for the love of god,remember what password I used for which site. Internet explorer didnt have a ‘do you want the browser to remember this password’. You can only imagine the struggles I would have to go through to press the mocking ‘dont remember password’ button,to find the password reset email in my inbox which was already crammed with ‘welcome to the site’ emails. So I just chucked it. I have to say, that was by far the easiest phase to get over.
It took me 20 mins to do this. I try ok? |

Finally.I found a use for this picture other than an anger management power-point presentation. |
And then came the glory days. I had Chrome installed.
