July 6th, 2010
A date to remember, because according to some crappy quiz on facebook, I'm meant to meet my soulmate on that date.Unbelieveble right?! I haven't written in almost three months and the only thing that's motivated me enough to post is some stupid result from some retarded quiz, which I actually want to remember, because, evidently, I am a dumb ass. An extremely pathetic dumb ass, but let's not go into that right now.
God! I just spent half an hour doing random love quizzes on facebook, without realizing that it was showing up on my profile page even after I kept choosing the dam 'Skip' button. Seriously, I need to get a life.
I've been in such a funk lately. A more comprehensive update will be up soon, that is, if I can get my fingers to type out more than the usual three random sentences that never seem to get published!

April '09
The fact that today is the 30th is the reason I am forcing myself to post, because I know that when I look back at this blog, an empty space between March 2009 and May 2009 would break my heart.
The recent evidence of my complete and total abandonment of this blog makes me terribly sad.
I could say that the reason for that would be that I just couldn't find the words to say what I wanted to say or that I didn't feel like saying what I wanted to say, but the truth of the matter is that, there was NOTHING TO SAY, period, so the whole contemplation of how to say it was a complete non-issue.
There is absolutely nothing going on in my life that is worth taking about, nothing even worth mentioning. I mean seriously, how could the life of a twenty year old be so unbelievably dull.
It is so dull in fact, that, when I smiled at the ONE sort of cute boy at the gym (who for the record smiled back at me), it was the single most interesting thing that had happened in my life for at least the three weeks that preceded and succeeded that 'not-so thrilling-in-a-normal-person's-life' event. And no, I'm not kidding. I'm twenty freakin' years old, smiling at a 'sort of' cute boy (whose name I don't know, by the way) should not be the only exciting(?!) incident of the month.
So, while my life has been spiraling down into a pit of mundane nothingness, tell me what's been up with yours?

2 Oh
So, I turned 20 on the 5th.
Twen-ty.
As in the big TWO OH, twenty.
As in 240 months, twenty.
As in 1043.6 weeks, twenty.
As in 7305 days, twenty.
As in the 20 after 19, twenty.
Yup, that's the 20 I'm talking about.
The life of a twenty year old female in this day and age is filled with five hundred friends on Facebook, a phone that needs to be surgically removed from her ear, gossip over coffee with the girls, parties, illegal drinks at said parties and not to mention a tote bag full of drama.
Such is the case of a normal twenty year old. The epitome of an abnormal one on the other hand would be me.
I know, that the only sane thing to do right now would be to channel Joey and scream "Why God, Why?!!" until I'm convinced God can hear me, but funnily, I cannot be more relived.
Why you ask, well, for one, I was never a typical teenager to begin with. Sure like every other teenage girl there was the inevitable ‘Boy Band' phase and the 'The-Phone-Is-My-Lifeline' phase and the 'Boy-Crazy' phase. But being the weirdo that I was, there was also the "Insufferable-grandma-of-the-Gang" phase, the "Head-Accountant-At-Lunches" phase and the 'I-Have-This-Compulsive-Need-To-Act-35' phase.
Twenty days ago, the prospect of turning 20 seemed daunting. Honestly I couldn’t understand how a person who felt like she was 14 and on occasion acted like she was 60 could actually be on the verge of turning 20. Finding middle ground unfortunately has never been my forte.
20 is definitely a weird place to be in, because you’ve lost the right to scream at the top of your lungs for no apparent reason (which previously could have been blamed on teenage angst), yet you’re not old enough to go out and get yourself a beer (Not that I want to by the way, get myself a beer that is). Its a stage where you have to tread carefully, making sure you don't falter, back into your, much too familiar 'teenagy' past. To tell you the truth, I've actually found myself mature more in the past few days than I ever have in my entire life.
I'm not the same girl I was.
I'm in my 20's for heaven's sake!
God, it feels wierd to say that.

Ooty 6
- Sitting at a random net cafe in Ooty, where 800x600 resolution monitors and unbelievably slow Internet speeds seem to be the norm.
- Surprisingly, I am not freezing my ass off and I feel like a complete fool considering the fact that I spent the last two weeks worrying about the cold. I happen to hate the cold, in case you didn't know.
- Goosebumps were all I got walking on the streets in a saree at ten in the night. I expected to get a frostbite.
- I decided to indulge the adventuress in me and take a walk alone to the Botanical gardens. Yes, taking a walk alone to the Botanical Gardens qualifies as an adventure in my book. I love going places by myself except for the weird looks I get from random guys on the street.
- Being surrounded by shops selling home made chocolates while on a diet is not as hard as I thought it would be.
- Have to run. Pray that I don't puke on all the people in the bus while going downhill. Oh, were you eating? I'm sorry.
- No actually I'm not. I'm evil like that. :P

75 - 50 = ?
Well, I just spent the last hour going through my entire blog. Yes, my entire blog. And no, I am not self obsessed. Its just that I've been trying to figure out how the hell I managed to write so much then, when now, I can't even bring myself to string together a sentence that isn't whiny or verbally challenged or that won't drive you a hundred blogs away.
The above three sentences took 4 days to write. Seriously. V-E-R-B-A-L-L-Y C-H-A-L-L-E-N-G-E-D.
There was too much that I wanted to say and too much that I want to say that I didn't and still don't know where to start. That's what led to the "Not saying anything at all" phase. A phase that I seem to have gotten a little too comfortable in.
Plus its a little intimidating when most of you bloggers, can effortlessly express yourselves in posts complete with a passion that is almost tangible. I on the other hand, like to dwell on the fact that I'm not one of you'll.
Just to completely prove that point, I'm going to do the '25 things' tag that seems to be around everywhere! (Stupid facebookers who think they can steal the concept of the tag from us bloggers.) This is with a slight twist though, because I have done variations of this tag a hundred times over and to do it for the hundred and first time is a little much even for a veteran bore like myself.
So here goes...
25 Things I wish I could have told my 'last year' self.
(Ignore the grammatical error in that sentence)
1) Put that slice of pizza down. Now.
2) Your immune system of steel? A horrible bout of chicken pox is going to break that down, so don't be so cocky about it.
3) You were wrong about college. It does get worse.
4) The unfathomable will happen. You will discover that you love to cook.
5) And guess what? You're actually good at it, even when you wing it.
6) Yes, being the brunt of all the jokes is what you do best. Get used to it.
7) People will keep reminding you that you are 'emotionally hollow'. Tell them to shut the hell up.
8) You become a serial downloader. (pun unintended)
9) Your year is obviously quite boring, since I'm completely running out of things to say.
10) You learn to procrastinate procrastination.
11) Humor, at least the conventional kind does not run in your veins. Deal with it.
12) Your socially inept behavior is often misconstrued as snobbishness.
13) Read more. No,not more blogs, more books.
14) Stop fighting with everyone. I know it exhilarates you, but stop. Its unhealthy.
15) Get off the Internet.
17) And yes, you still hate rain.
18) Kareoke nights with the choir will be the most fun you'll have all year.
19) You'll get your temper under control. Are you shocked?? Me too.
20) Keep singing at the top of your lungs when you ride your bike. Its completely worth it, even with all those people staring at you wierdly.
21) You'll find your soulmate.
22) Don't get so excited. His last name is Inspiron 1520. And his first is Dell.
23) Don't binge on popcorn at 3 in the morning. 'Popcorn Puke' is not fun. At all. Seriously.
25) You will lose the ability to write. This is proof.

Get out your pen and paper, Life!
Its funny how its becoming a chore to write. Spilling paragraph upon paragraph of nonsense is not as easy as it looks.Life being its irritating little self is taking its course and sometimes or rather all the time I can't help but wonder if it'll all be worth it.
Life, you owe me! Are you listening? Please take note. One great job, one incredibly handsome (READ:sexy) husband, two kids and all the other things on those typical girly girl lists.
And before you ask, no, I'm not a typical girly girl.
Ok, maybe I'm about .45% girly .
Just to be clear, that reads point four five.
So, where was I? Oh ya, life's being a bitch, but I guess its time to pull up my socks and roll with the punches. Whoa, cliché alert! Sorry, self imposed blogging hiatus is taking its toll. Why the hell is it so hard to write these days??!
Anyway, sorry for putting you through this, this post was completely pointless and not to mention completely random.
Oh but wait, that's how all my posts are!
Wow, it feels good to be back!

Pre- college blues
No I'm not dead, although I'd very much like to be..

On second thought, no, that sounds suicidal, which I can confirm that I definitely am not.

And I thought, Hello, new shoes....bye bye blues..
Hey I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And everybody's smiling, Its so inviting..
Oh, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
And I'm running late, and I dont need an excuse,
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Baby Love
Yes, its 4 :46 in the morning.
Yes, I just got up.
Yes, I was asleep for the past eight hours, considering that I hadn't slept for the 48 before that.
Yes, my jury went horribly. And, no, I'm not being convicted, I'm talking about college.
Yes, I couldn't answer the million unanswerable questions.
Yes, I was called on, on not being 'technically sound'.
Yes, I felt like crap after.
And yes, none of that matters, because today, I just became an aunt for the second time!!!
And yes, thank god I'm not with him, or else I'd have eaten him up by now!
Love you already, baby Zach!

Some TV lovin'
Its so easy to let all the things that were previously in your life slip when you've got more important things that demand your attention. Please ignore the fact that the word 'important' in my life actually means TV.
My download schedule these past two months have been crazy. Crazy in a good way though, cause it means more than a couple of hours each night of either spoilt brats from the upper east side, McSteamy, the awesomeness that is....wait for it....Barney or the hundreds of other characters that make American television so hard to resist.
If American television on the other hand, awakens the gag reflex in you, I suggest you skip this post. I'm only writing this, so that when I read it 20 years from now, I'll know that the 19th year of my life was filled with all the normal things a 19 year old is supposed to do, you know, things like go out, have fun, party, drink myself silly and not sit at home happily devouring hours of TV. Yeah, I know that that spells loser, but you know what, I've come to terms with it.
So here's my schedule. I don't watch these shows on television, but download them. (Anti downloaders, your hate mail isn't going to stop me, so please note that you'd be wasting your time)
Monday:
Desperate Housewives
Yes, the ladies of Wisteria Lane are most certainly kicking up their skirts in their fifth year. Its got the usual, Susan with her man troubles, Lynette with her kid troubles but surprisingly each year the show just keeps getting better and better!
Brothers And Sisters
In its third season, not as exciting as all its other hour long drama show competitors, but I've been a huge fan right from the start, so I'm rooting for this one to stay on as long as all the others have.
Tuesday: Also the best day of the week when it comes to TV!
Gossip Girl
(In a Kristen Bell's husky voice)
Queen B and S have patched up again and Little J has flown the coop, has she taken on more than she can handle?? Be careful of the friends you make Little J, they can take your life and make it go up in flames. Oh, and you be careful too readers, once this show sucks you in, there's no turning back.
xoxo
GossipGirl
Just for the record, I was actually called 'Gossip Queen' when I was in school, so its no surprise that I love this show.
How I met Your Mother
Seriously, do I even need to talk about how AWESOME this show is?!
Prison Break
Ah, my Wentworth Miller crush, second only to my ginormous Leo DiCaprio crush when I was 10.
But even if he wasn't in the lead, this show would still be as nail biting as it is, every single week! Four years running, and the breaking-out-of-prison theme still hasn't gotten old. Kudos to the writers, they have me and half the world hooked. Oh, and to you too Wentworth, you nail the 'smouldering-hot-intelligent-hot-sexy-hot-amazingly-hot' look in every single scene.
Did I say the word 'hot' one too many times in that sentence?
Heroes
Again, an amazing show, but I haven't really been watching this season, because it gets too confusing, and when you watch an episode, you have to go back to the previous episode to know who's after who and who's in which form and blah, blah blah. So basically, its just too much work. But, I have been downloading and accumulating them, so that I can watch them at a stretch and save myself the trouble of going back and forth.
Samantha Who
Only started downloading it due to my undying love for sitcoms, but honestly, it isn't that great. It isn't something you can rewatch. Come to think of it, the only sitcom you can rewatch five billion times and not get even a teensy bit bored of is Friends, and this definitely isn't in that league.
Its ok to watch when you're completely bored and have nothing else to do.
Wednesday:
90210
A spin off from the old and very popular Beverly Hills 90210. I remember this show so well, because my cousins were crazy about it.
Anyway, the new one is just as good as the old or maybe even better. You could call it the west coast version of Gossip Girl, but I like to keep my 'chanel-wearing-boyfriend-stealing-back-stabbing-teens' separate from one another, thank you very much.
Thursday:
Lipstick Jungle
I didn't even know this show existed until I read the book, and as is always the case with me, anytime I read or hear about something new, I have to google it. Its like a disease. No seriously, ITS LIKE A DISEASE.
Anyway, when I did google it, I found out that they had made the book into a show (the book by the way is by Candace Bushnell, the same woman who wrote Sex and the City), and a season had already past, so being the rabid downloader that I am, I had to download the whole thing and watch it. And surprise surprise, it was pretty addictive.
Its on its second season now, and is doing pretty well from the looks of it.
Dirty Sexy Money
Along the same lines of Lipstick Jungle, but oh, so much more juicier!! True to its title, its dirty, its sexy and they are filthy rich.
Its the story of a family called the 'Darlings'.
There, isn't that reason enough to start watching this show?!
Top Chef
Season 5 of Top Chef requires the same of you as it has in all its previous seasons. Never sit down to watch an episode without a plate of good food in front of you, because trust me, you're bound to get hungry.
This show is also to blame for my ever expanding mid section.
Friday:
Ugly Betty
Now, who doesn't know of the darling Betty Suarez and her questionable fashion sense. Currently in its third season, Ugly Betty still seems to catch its viewers attention. I for one love Justin, Betty's nephew, and please, who can't stare at Daniel Meade for 5 hours straight. Other than you straight guys, that is.
Grey's Anatomy
I just have to say, Meredith Grey annoys the hell outta me. Do you find that surprising?
You know what else?
I don't understand what all the drama is about McDreamy anyway!!
McSteamy is way hotter!
If you didn't get any of that, its probably because you don't watch the show.
But maybe you should start.
Extras:
The Ex- List
A pretty decent new show that got cancelled after four episodes. It stared Elizabeth Reaser, you may remember her as the Jane Doe, Ava from Grey's a coupla seasons back.
The Starter Wife
It started off as a TV mini series, but continued on as a regular series. I watched the season 2 premiere, but am still in the process of downloading the rest.
Rita Rocks:
A new weekday sitcom that started airing last week. Its got Tish Campbell (the Mom from 'My Wife & Kids') in one of the lead roles. Its your standard American family sitcom a la '8 Simple Rules' or 'Hope & Faith'.
Yeah, I watch a lot of TV. If you guys need a lesson in downloading any of these, let me know, I'd be happy to spread the love, because after a long day's work, a bed, my laptop and these shows are all I need to keep me happy and if it could do the same for you, then I can be assured that i'm not the only weirdo in this world.
So, to sum this post up, I HAVE NO LIFE.
But you knew that already, right?
