Love? Or Sparkles?

Complications. Unnecessary complications!

And that’s all I have got to say about it!! Well since I cant keep my mouth shut I will go ahead and deny my earlier statement. I have loadsa things to say about it! Can’t help it. It just gets to me when I see people in love. So fine you are happy and all that. Why do you have to keep using that coochie coo lingo? Yuck!

Ya, ya, I know I will probably change my tune when I get my man but for now I will scream, rave and rant all I want. Yes I have double standards so there! :P I have about given up getting the right guy in my life or ever falling for one. Why do we use the term falling? I wonder now…Anyways yes, like I was saying, I have given up on that. So here I was wondering, what my engagement ring would look like and my wedding band. And yes, I have been thinking about the wedding gown as well. I am a girl after all. *Sheepish grin*

Now mom keeps telling me I should not be materialistic and all that. But sorry no can do, I just have to have a pretty solitaire. Since I can’t fall in love with the guy I can at least fall in love with the solitaire. Now I do not want a flashy obscenely huge stone. My hands are to small to carry off something like that. And besides don’t have that kinda taste. Probably a solitaire surrounded by small diamonds. Nothing gaudy it should be just right. Something that makes me think- yes, maybe this whole marriage thing is worth it. *Wicked grin*

I sure do sound like a conniving, greedy woman but hey I have dreams too. Since I cant get prince charming or a knight in shinning armour I am settling for the guy next door and a sparkle on my finger. *Halo over the head do not miss that! *

Actually I still have little bit of hope left somewhere; maybe I will meet my knight in shinning armour. Hope it’s all that we have left. *How profound is that? * Dear lord, if you are seeing me type this out please help me! All that I am looking for is a nice guy who will love my whole family and me and give me that one sparkle on my finger.

Actually two sparkles, one for my eyes too. :D

All Good Things…

My trip has come to an end and tomorrow I go back to the same old routine. No more lazing about in bed watching TV and playing with snowy. Wont be troubling dad or mom or go screaming from one room to the other. Lol. Ya I know its sounds crazy, but when you have a dog at home that chases you all around? Its fun! *Sigh*…

I really don’t want to go back. Wish I could stay at home forever but like dad says, I will probably start snapping everyone’s head off after a while! So back to my second home, filled with laughter, problems, mischief, complaints and tears. That’s hostel life for you.

In the hostel there is a rule we all follow- anyone who gets to go home has to come back with goodies!
My bag is filled with more food than clothes. I always pack light, that way I don’t have to carry an extra bag for all the food. I just hate overloading when I am traveling rather have one bag and be done with it.

Have you ever realized that we kinda accumulate all kind of junk while we are living somewhere else? My room is filled with it. I would probably have to leave half of it behind at my aunt’s place when I leave the hostel. Kinda sad actually, leaving the hostel I mean.

God! I sound horrible! Eeeeeeeeeeee!!

Ok bring in the good mood no sad thoughts no no no!
I am still looking around for the good mood to strike me. I see snowy sleeping, his paws are moving; probably some doggie dream where he is chasing cats all over the place. Could be crows, other dogs or the newspaper guy. Hmmm…
Lucky guy, gets to run around come back all dirty and has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. With eyes like those you really cant be strict with him. Yes, I have spoilt him rotten. The whole family did.

That reminds me, a friend of mine actually “barked” a greeting to my dog today. *Wicked grin*
I just forgot to tell her that she was on the speakerphone. ROTFL! * (Mom was quite amused, don’t worry she thought it was cute)*

Demons and Clowns

A hostel mate of mine went for ‘Exorcism of Emily Rose’. Earlier I had decided to accompany her but I kinda chickened out. I kept telling myself it was for my own good coz I would be the one having sleepless nights with my imagination soaring high.

Mom was quite glad that I did not go for the movie. Otherwise I would keep telling her "I am scared". There was a time when I was so scared that I refused to enter the room if it was dark. And I panic when the lights go off; I guess I am scared of darkness itself.

Anyways where was I… oh yes, the movie. My pal enjoyed the movie; and supposedly demons move about three in the morning. She found that quite funny cos I wake up around three almost every night. Yeah, like I needed to hear that. These guys ended up cracking up cos according to them maybe the demons and I had something in common. *Eye roll*

“It takes one devil to recognize the other”,
“Maybe they came to pay homage to the queen of devils” ...
Yes, that’s right, and I call these guys my second family.

Last night someone scratched on my door, yes scratched. I knew they were playing a prank (as usual). My roomie went to see who was at the door. Since no one was at the door, she went ahead inside the living room. These two clowns were hiding behind the sofa and rolling with laughter. Apparently they could not help laughing thinking how scared I would be. Yes, imagination and all that, I have comedians for hostel mates. Finally they went upstairs with a big bowl of custard, nourishment for their playacting.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?

Tagged yet again!

The lovely AFJ, tagged me and here I am once again.

The rules as stated-

(1) write a 100-to-200-word entry using the following words: I, me, blow job, grapes, random, power, loneliness, water, robot and blue;

(2) use these words once and only once; and of course

(3) the entry should make sense.

Here is my piece and it came upto 197 words (that was close *phew*). Read on...

There was a power cut and a candle burnt bright in its loneliness. Eight girls and a bowl of grapes. Suddenly…the room was filled with howls of laughter. “You didn’t know about that?”… “ Then when X was reading that forward aloud, what did you think it was?”…Again the room hushes even the blue walls seemed to lean in to know the answer, all eyes turned to that little thing holding her doll “thought he was talking about some straw thing…” and the room was filled with laughter, amazed expressions, tears of mirth and one sole confused expression. Someone needed a crash course, badly! “ Ok she needs help”…*Wicked grins all around*. “All rite lets gross her out!”

“uhhh…guys on second thoughts I really don’t want to know what a blow job is.”

"Of course you don’t, no one wants to, but you need to know”… “ummm ok.”

"Who wants to go first?" “Me first”… random speculations were thrown into the explanation and the confused expression was turning into alarm. A hand reached out for a quick gulp of water that refused to go down her throat. The Intel robot winked in the candlelight, sharing our glee.

****************

That's about it, I am not tagging anyone cos I really want my weekend to go well. ;)

If anyone is interested to do this tag please go ahead and do so. See ya!

Names :)

Its something I worked on a while back and I really liked what I came up with so I am putting them up. :P
Each image represents a person I know and it also is the first letter of their names.

Weird Weekend!

I am not going to do it anymore no sirrie! Uh uh not me, no way.
Not going to wait for weekends anymore! What’s the point? Earlier I used to jump for joy coz the weekend would mean- laze about in bed, the absolute bliss scenario. Something went wrong with that scenario at least for my roomie and moi. I thought I would be out cold on Friday nite, no such luck kept getting up at all odd hours and finally gave up around seven in the morning. Weird part? Every time I would wake up my roomie would be up too.

Went out for a movie “Family”- you want to waste those three hours of your life? This is the best way to do so. Finally after roaming around came back around eight in the evening. So here I was nice and tired so I decided take a hot shower and hit the bed. Hah! But the sand man went for a holiday in my case…

I was actually giving wake up calls for all those people who wanted get up early or keep some appointments during the weekend. I was doing the work of an alarm clock on Saturday and Sunday. Ring… ring “wake up you …” wake up this, wake up that…shesshh! (Well I really didn’t mind, so…)

Sunday was quite eventful, met up with friends, went out to have ice cream but was not in the mood to eat it. I usually fight over ice creams with this pal of mine but this time around he was actually surprised that we were not fighting about who ate more. Since my last shopping trip was such a failure I was not looking forward to shopping but guess what? Was out shopping for two hours and got some real neat stuff. Finally my feet started crying and I decided to end the shopping spree early.

Saddest part was when I woke up today I was ‘actually’ sleepy but I had to get up for work. Not fair! How come when I want to sleep and I have time to do so, I don’t get sleep? And when I have to get up early I stick to my pillow like glue?

Weird weekend, everything went “ulta- pulta”!

The Dating Game

What does it mean when a kid of 20 years thinks of taking you out on Saturday nite to make you meet eligible men? (Mummy!! I am just 23 why do I have face such situations at this age? Wahhhh!)

According to the kid I am avoiding the other side of the species. The whaaaaat? Of course not! I mean so I am not having any romantic liaison (sounds maha shady), so what? Not the end of the world. And I never like the first meeting with the guy coz I always end up saying something that sounds like I am making fun of him. Its not intentional it just comes out and then I am bonking myself on the head in my mind.

And then comes the time the guy is trying to flirt; well I am sure he is doing a wonderful job but it never works with me…I cut him off at every attempt and ultimately the guy and I end up being real good pals. I think the guys usually get to a point where they think I am a lost cause. Or they treat me like a little kid; I am okay with that as long as I don’t have to put up with some flirty guy. * Eye roll*

I remember I danced with this guy thinking he was my best pals cousin coz we all had come in a gang. He let me believe he was and I was happy cos as long as it was my pals cousin I was okay. Its only when we were leaving, he came and told me that he was not my pals cousin but the cousins friend. He looked so sheepish and he was really nice and sorry about it…I forgave him.

Well there are some really sweet fellas out there but when my friend (kid) came and told me that she has just the man for me I burst out laughing. I think I would rather let it happen than meet something like that head on. * Shudder*

Why?

There are times when you sit and talk the night away with a friend. But all of a sudden you do not want to listen to what they have to say. You make excuses for not picking up the phone and when you talk you really have nothing to contribute to the conversation. The same person who used to make you laugh now makes you frown. You try to tell them you need space but they try to push you in a corner asking why why why? They want to know everything and anything that’s in your head. You might be busy doing some work and they would want to know what you are doing. You be patient and explain it to them, …“but why are you doing that?” …“Can’t she do it herself?”…

You wonder whatever happened to that easy friendship and days of listening to music and talking about nothing and everything. Why is there a void now? Why do they have to question you when they never used to? Why don’t they try to respect your space like you respect theirs? And when you explain everything, they still come back and ask… “Tell me what’s wrong?” Arghhhh!

Phone Conversations and such…

If I am not in a mood to talk to some people I try to avoid the convo by hook or by crook. I feel no shame or guilt except for what I put my dog through.

X: hey hows ya?

Me: I am good, how are you? (Bark bark)

X: ur dog?

Me: Yep

X: so like I was saying…blah blah.

Me: will u put a lid on it?

X: what?

Me: Uhh what?
X: u told me to shut up.

Me: I did? Gee no that was to my doggie.
X: oh (bark bark) think I will call you up later.

Me: ya sure.

Thanks snowy you saved me there and sorry for bugging you with that newspaper. (Wicked grin)

I do that sometimes- when I don’t want to talk to someone and really want to avoid the person, I use my knight in shining armour to block the conversation. But some times he does not bark when I want him to. He just looks at me in this weird way when I try to bug him and he just flounces outta the room. (If a dog could flounce that is.)

Or the second ruse always works

X: hey you

Me: hey would love to chat but gotta take snowy for a walk. See ya.

(Snowy all jumpy cos he heard the word walk.) I put the phone down and we go out only till the garden. He looks at me and throws out all his doggy dirty words at me. One word I can surely understand “cheater”.

X: done with your dog?

Me: yeah! (think think think)
Me: oh my god! My dog just ran away with my shoe…snow snow you give that right back. Ok gtg byeee.

Sigh! Snowy gives me this weird look. I look back ya well you do it most of the times.

Anyone within hearing distance looks in. …uhh was just avoiding a phone call. No biggie. Its all okay.

Ya I am like that sometimes.

Weekend Bliss

The weekend is here, finally. The first weekend after New Years Eve! Its gonna be one hectic weekend and I am not complaining. Earlier this week I felt as if it really wasn’t January that it was just an extension of December. Well I am still getting used to the fact it’s 2006 and not 2005. Been a little grumpy of late but suddenly I am nice and happy. I am not questioning the mood swing and I sure hope it lasts. Then again if anyone can make me happy it’s me myself, and fate cant really decide my happiness quota so…(cheeky grin.)

Went for an amazing lunch yet again at Don Pepe. Somehow didn’t finish my main course, but I did vigorously nod my head for a chocolate rum mousse cake. (Another cheeky grin.) Well I have mood swings about sweet stuff too, one day I will be consuming chocolates like I have never seen them in my life and the next I wont even eat a piece. It’s like that. Jeez no wonder I am 50% weird!

Well I am gonna go shopping this weekend, hoping and praying that I get something really nice. Exactly when you want to shop you don’t find anything nice and when you find something fab-licious you are dead broke or you did not get your card and you don’t have the rite amount of hard cash in hand.

We are going to the station today to see off a hostel mate. ‘It’s kinda weird’- our in-time is 7 pm on weekdays. But when it comes to dropping someone to the station in the night, it is okay to go out on our own. If it’s safe for us to go to the station alone around nine thirty in the night, why can’t they keep the in time at nine in the night or maybe at ten? *Sigh*

Anyways I am gonna have a nice time getting up late and doing loads of shopping (cross fingers). All you people have a nice weekend.

All Smiles!

I am happy today, I am jumping and I don’t even have a reason why. Could it be that since it is Wednesday and there are just two more days to go before the weekend? I just don’t know why but I just am. Last two days I was being really grumpy and dull and all of a sudden voila I am smiling. I am still wondering why. There is this voice in my head “trouble is brewing”.

Haven’t you noticed when you are very happy something goes wrong? So I am a little apprehensive about the fact that I am “all smiles” today. I am feeling jumpy can’t sit at my desk for long, before I got hopping and skipping to the next bay to Sow and Vee’s place or go hopping to Moush’s place.

Well I really do not wanna dwell deeper into this boost of happiness so I am gonna enjoy it while it lasts. It would probably last till I get my phone bill.

Chaat Shop

Yesterday was fun time; ok more like hiccup time for me. I love eating chaat and some of us from hostel went to the chaat shop. There are only two places in Chennai that I would go to eat chaat- Gangotree and Ajnabee. So far these are the two best chaat shops I have come across and the others that I have gone to suck big time!

Since I didn’t want to end up having hiccups, I ordered an orange slush to go with my chaat. In fact I told the man “mirchi kum” for my chaat. Turns out he put less “mirchi” for everyone else and forgot about mine. Needless to say I ended up with the hiccups. We then ordered gulab jamun and kachori’s and took it back to hostel.

Since we were six in number and we were getting late (hostel in time), we decided to take one auto. Too funny, managing orange slush and making sure nobody squashes the packets. I actually managed not to pour orange slush all over the place. *Phew* And we reached right on time!
