Funny, Fun, or just simply Retarded?

everyone knows that in school, there are many colourful characters that make up each and every class. this makes a class fun, which in turn makes the school brighter. while some people are naturally borned with 'fun' or 'funny' plastered all over their foreheads, some others create their superficial identities. if it makes a school brighter, wouldn't that be great? but wait, so what down side could it have then?

the answer is very simple. the most likely result is that the latter group will simply forget who they are. they come up with a persona which they perceive is 'fun' and 'entertaining' to the class they are in. sure, in the beginning they would gain a few hearty laughs and attention. once this dies down, it'll just become a passe that everyone expects. however, the subject may have been too engrossed entertaining people such that he/she forgets who he/she really is. he may be too infatuated with the new-found attention that he receives, so much so that sub-consciously, he/she is reluctant to let go of it.

the owners' reputation of this kind of persona changes over time. at the start, they may be labelled as 'hella funny' or 'fun shit man'. soon, they may turn into 'hahaha. ok stop it.' or 'ha-ha.' and they'll eventually end up looking simply retarded.

of course, there is the opposite scenario too.

people don't change for no reason, people will stay the same without reason. therefore, i suggest, let the naturals talk the talk and walk the walk, and let us sit back and enjoy it. at the end of the day, let us congratulate them for making our day, and let the school congratulate us for achieving, academically, aesthetically or athletically.





anyway, good luck to all for your prelims or promos!
