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.
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.
16) In twelve months, you will fall head over heels in love with a certain
Anoop Desai.
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.
