Like Magic

Whoa!

How cool was that disappearing act! I'm getting better and better at this everyday!

What, you don't believe I can magically disappear??

That's ridiculous!

Wait a sec, let me do it again!
.

So I put the black satin cloth over my head....

And whisper the magic words!

*Go finish your work you idiot, cause you know if you don't, you're gonna flunk this year!!*

And POOF...I'm gone!!

Musical Musings

Because I couldn't come up with a cornier title!

Today, I feel like stealing. Told you I have a bad girl streak hidden somewhere in me.

Actually, I'm not stealing, nor am I 'wild' or 'bad' or however you want to put it.

Whoa..I think I feel the 'Drunk Writing Syndrome' setting in. For those of you who haven't a clue of what I'm saying, its what happens when you let your fingers go berserk on the keyboard, and as a result all that's coming out is a bunch of words that you had no clue were even in your head. Basically, its how you would write if you were piss drunk, except in this case, you're not. Yup, so that about sums it up.

What was I saying..Ya, so I'm merely borrowing a tag from a blog that I found today. I've seen this tag around in a couple of places, but had never actually gotten around to doing it, well you know, because of my other perpetually present syndrome, its called 'The Lazy Lemonade' syndrome. It think the name pretty much explains itself.

So, here are the rules of the tag

1. Put your iPod (or other source of music) on shuffle mode.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. You must write the name of the song no matter what. No cheating!

Here goes nothing. And please, for the love of all things good and holy, don't judge me on my taste in music. Its about as fifty time as varied and weird as me. Maybe even a hundred.

"If someone says 'Is this okay?', you say?"
Going gets tough - Boyzone

Spot on, if things weren't okay, but I had no choice but to accept them, that's probably what I would say.


"What would best describe your personality?"
The Actor - Michael learns to Rock

Whoa, totally didn't expect that! Actually it is kind of true in a sense, you see, if there's something I've noticed, its that I can even be the person I am on my blog, in real life, and I can never be the person I am in real life, on my blog. The whole thing is pretty twisted. Wouldn't call it acting though.

"What do you like in a guy/girl?"
There's gotta be more to life - Stacie Orrico

Ha ha ha ha ha.....


"How do you feel today?"
Goodness Gracious Me - Peter sellers & Sophia Loren

Indeed.

"What is your life's purpose?"
I feel lonely - Sasha

Great! That just totally confirmed my borderline loner issues.

"What is your motto?"
Starts with Goodbye - Carrie Underwood

"Its sad, but sometimes, moving on with the rest of your life, Starts with goodbye."
Pretty damn appropriate I would say. I mean its all about getting over the crap that's presently eating your head, and moving on. You cannot progress if you can't find the strength to get over the fact that you just finished the last sip of coke in your house. You have to come to terms and remind yourself, that it isn't the end of the world.

"What do your friends think of you?"
Funkytown - Lipps Inc

That's what I think of them too. What a coincidence!


"What do you think of your parents?"
Girl - The Beatles

Absolutely unrelated. SO unrelated in fact, that I can't even seem to spin any crap to say about it.

"What do you think about very often?"
Chasing the Sun - The Calling

Its more like chasing the stars in my case. I really don't need to get tanned any further, I'm dark enough as it is.

"What is 2+2?"
You really got me - Sanjaya Malakar

Yes, sometimes I tend to space out and even basic arithmetic skills completely escape me.


"What do you think of your best friend?"
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

If there's anywhere we both are going together, its probably hell!


"What do you think of the person you like?"
Seasons of Love - Rent OST

Hmmm.....
Hmmmmm.......

"What is your life story?"
Dare to Dream - Jo Dee Messina

Totally. Enough said.


"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Corner of your Heart- Ingrid Michaelson

Be in the corner of someone's heart? Probably. But that's only among a ton of other things.


"What do you think when you see the person you like?"
Que Sera Sera - Connie Francis
Whatever will be, will be, I guess.

"What do your parents think of you?"
Thank You - Dido

Obviously! I mean, come on, I brought the light into their lives. Why wouldn't they thank me?! :P

"What will you dance to at your wedding?"
Wanted Dead or Alive - Jon Bon Jovi

O-Kay.

"What will they play at your funeral?"
Angel - Better than Ezra

Hit the jackpot on this one..didn't I? It also happens to be completely true, by the way. :) See? Isn't that the most angelic smile you've ever seen?!


"What is your hobby/interest?"
Lambada - Kaoma

Ha ha..that's a joke. Dancing in one thing that I've never been interested in, except when I'm safe in the brick walled confines of my bedroom, with only a full length mirror to laugh at my two left feet.


"What is your biggest secret?"
All That Jazz - Chicago OST

Obviously. It wouldn't exactly be a secret if it didn't have anything 'jazzy' about it.


"What do you think of your friends?"
I got you Babe - Sonny & Cher

I do! I got their backs.


"What should you post this as?"
Sippin on Barcadi Rum - Groove Connection

Sure feels like it!

Ok, I gotta go! But please people, do this tag!! Its so much fun. And when you'll do, leave the link in the comment box, so I can come over and make fun of your taste in music!

Kidding! :)

Happy Sunday evening!

blog party!!

Not exactly! Well, sort of, anyway.


Look who finally decided to grace her beloved blog with her presence!

Seriously, I need to get my life back on track here, laziness seems to be reigning over every little cell in my body. My life, in addition to being depressing is now turning chaotic, so chaotic in fact, that I can't seem to be able to find any balance anymore. Not that I was well balanced individual to begin with, but you know what I'm talking about, right?
Well, if you don't, then that's probably because this is the first time you're finding yourself here. To know a little more about my extremely unbalanced self, go read the archives of this blog. I'm sure they'll provide you a good insight into the utter and complete insanity that is me.

Anyway, what prompted me to post in the middle of my previously mentioned chaotic existence, is to tell all you guys that Chennai's gonna have its very own blogger meet!!

I don't hear any 'woo-hoo'ing or hooting!!

Whats wrong with you guys??

I said CHENNAI is gonna have its very own BLOGGER MEET!!

*Hears distant catcalls and imagines nerdy bloggers in the suburbs of madras pumping their fists in the air*

Yup, That's more like it!!

psst...Don't try to deny it, we bloggers are quite a nerdy bunch!

I can't wait for it! Its being organising by Indiblogger and is definitely bound to be good fun! Anyone reading here in Chennai, please get over to the site and register yourselves, right now! Yes of course I mean NOW!!

What're you waiting for?? GO!!

Chennai blogger meet

17/05/2008 at 16:00

Check out some of the reviews of the earlier meets at Pune and Bangalore and also go look at the Indiblogger Flick group. Click on all the links and go crazy guys! :)

See you there!

Shooting bullets!

I never know what I'm going to write about, until I coerce my fingers to do that rhythmical tapping jig that they do on the keyboard. It is usually quite a task..getting my fingers to do that rhythmically tapping jig. And while they're doing that, most often than not, I'm usually hoping that, what's coming out of them will at least be vaguely readable. Since I have nothing in particular to bore you with today, I figured I'd resort to the ever reliable bullets to give you an idea of the random happenings in my life.

Disclaimer: Reader will probably die a fatal death of boredom during the course of this post. If indeed found dead, I am in no way responsible for the remnants of his/her body. His/her soul of course, is probably already on its way to haunt me.

• Last week I was in the car with my mother when she stopped abruptly in the middle of the road, I looked up from the label of the tissue box I was reading, only to catch a chicken cross the road. A chicken crossing a road. A CHICKEN CROSSING A ROAD!!

• Google reader happens to be my new best friend. I found her in November, and I've held her hand while walking around school everyday. Literally. Seriously, this tiny blurb does her absolutely no justice, she deserves a post of her own, which hopefully will find its way here sometime in the near future, if I can get off my lazy ass, that is. Translation: School being the Internet for people who didn't get it.

• Writing an 80 page project report on your internship in the middle of nowhere sure can zap all the energy out of you. Wait a sec, I got that wrong, I actually meant, writing 2.00078 % of an 80 page project report on your internship in the middle of nowhere sure can zap all the energy out of you.

• Last night I accidentally fell asleep at 9 pm, but got up at approximately 2:30 am and proceeded to sit on the internet for the next hour and a half. I can't believe I'm this addicted. When did this happen?!

• I gave up the three C's for lent, chocolate, coke and chips. Thank God, easter's coming, there's a tub of chocolate ice cream in the freezer that's just waiting to be devoured.

• My middle name is procrastination. seriously, I began this post sometime Thursday night!!

• I own two sand filled animals, that are a couple of some of my most prized possessions. In addition to my insanity and my zero sense of humor, that is. Their names are Lizzie the Lizard and Fiona the Frog, and I keep them next to my computer monitor at home. They actually are a lizard and a frog, but I find that when you suffix a title to a name, it makes it sound a tad grander. Yes, I know that 'the lizard' and 'the frog' aren't exactly titles.

• Just so you know, I have no clue what I'm typing out. For someone who's never ever gotten drunk in her life, I sure do a good job of acting it. Just wanted to make sure that we were clear on that.
  

1:31 am

I found something hilarious while stumbling around the web today. I haven't posted anything from in the internet in a while, so I thought this would be apt. Not in a religious context on anything, because trust me I'm not religiously biased and I don't mean to hurt anyone's religious sentiments, but its just apt for this site, not completely but sorta. And by 'sorta', I mean only halfway apt....Oh god, maybe I should shut up and post the damn thing already!

I almost squealed when I first saw it, the squeal was then followed by my very distinct and not to mention loud, trademark motor laugh. Don't ask me how it sounds, because then I'd have to demonstrate it, and if I do that, then I sure as hell will be the next laughing stock of the blogworld, which would be pretty ironic because everyone will be laughing at my laugh!

Seriously, I really surprise myself with the amount of crap I manage to cram into a single post. You'd think that if I was so intent on sounding this stupid, I'd at least try to space the stupidity out between a few posts, but no, here I am, on a quest to make my idiocy known to the whole world, or rather just the people who read this blog, who come to think of it, do mean the whole world to me. So again, I wanna thank you guys for 'you know what', you'll are awesome, each and every single one of you. There'll be cupcakes in the mail for you'll. Well not in reality anyway, but in my mind. That counts for something, right?

woo hoo

Its at this juncture, where I wonder, how things most often than not, (TOUCH WOOD) go right for me! If I was jumping up and down and smiling so hard that I was afraid that my face was gonna crack, the last time, this time I'm completely beyond blown away..trust me..I've been blown away so far, that the world just look like a tiny blue spec to me! Like Phoebe's tattoo.
Should I just say thank you, or should I come find each your houses individually to give you a big hug?! I'm torn, I don't know what to do! If I could, I would bake each of you guys individual little cupcakes with your initials in chocolate sprinkles. But unfortunately, my paltry student allowance will not permit it.

Shit, look at me, I came here to give my Oscar-like acceptance speech but I find myself, rambling on, gibberish.

Anyway, thank you guys, from the bottom of my heart. This award is completely undeserving and I know it, but when good things happen to you, you can't help but embrace them, forget embracing them..I'm probably gonna hug this moment and hold on to it for all eternity.

19

The clock reads 1:53am and the date is the 5th of march, which coincidentally happens to the day I was born. Nineteen whole years ago.

I can't believe I'm on the threshold of adulthood. What's even more unbelievable is the fact that I just used the phrase 'threshold of adulthood'. Am I really getting that old?

The birthday feeling still hasn't set in as yet for some reason. I don't feel anything except a weird numbness, like its just another day, but somehow is different, just not in a very significant way. If the previous sentence sounded like crap to you, then it probably is. Like I said I'm so numb, I can't even fell the keys while typing this out, so it probably is just a load of rubbish.

I reread what I 'd just written, and they sound like the words of an emotionless cynic, which I am not, most of the time at least. I think the time of the day (or the night in this case) does that to you. So it isn't exactly my fault. That's my latest trick, by the way, blaming stuff on the time. Is it working?

If by now you're wondering why you're still here, reading the words of a psychotic 'almost adult', I don't blame you. But please, stay and wish me a Happy Birthday, I'm sure it'll make my day however cynical I may seem.

Pure joy

Back home after the two week stint in the middle of nowhere, and guess what the stork dropped off in my absence!

That's right..my precious new baby!!! With her durable body (which the lord knows, I need!) and her 160 GB hard disk, which has me grinning with glee and her NVIDIA 8600 Geforce 256 mb card (I think) and the 2 GB RAM and the Intel^® Core^TM 2 Duo Processor 2.0GHz. If you're a girl and you don't get all that, I don't blame you, I didn't know what that crap meant either until like a week before I placed my order. But if you're a guy and are unable to comprehend what I'm saying the, shame on you!

Enough of the never ending specifics, take a look at her.


I't she just gorgeous?! (I'm still undecided, if its a 'she' or a 'he', I tried out the 'he' but it didn't sound right, so its a 'she' for now.)

I kind of have a thing for red stuff...My bike is red and so is my iPod, so it was only natural that I went hunting around to find a red laptop. Anyway, must go, fill her up with some delicious software. A new baby does need her nourishment after all.

If you haven't figured it out by now, yes, I think I have gone slightly nuts. Don't worry, its a daily occurrence me, should hopefully pass in a couple of hours.

If you're reading (which, I hope you're not!) thank you Dadu!! ( Now please find that little red cross at the top right hand of the monitor and click it, NOW!...you too Ma!)

So much for being anonymous, huh..parents finding out about you're blog and all. But that's a whole other story, right now I gotta get back to something that's sitting there and looking all pretty. In fact, I can actually hear it call out to me...

middle of where?

Sitting in a random internet centre, at an age old computer with sweat pouring down my back, in an awfully humid town in the middle of nowhere is not a fun way to write a post. I agree that if its a town, then its probably not in the middle of nowhere, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Got here yesterday morning, and have been on my toes ever since. Literally. (My calf muscles are actually paining). I'm on a two week intership in the above mentioned 'middle-of-nowhere' town and so far its been a dusty dreary journey. Two days doesn't exactly count as a jorney but this happens top be my blog and I happen to like being a drama queen. So to illustrate the above piont...its been TWO WHOLE HORRIBLE DAYS IN A DUSTY AND DREARY "MIDDLE-OF-NOWHERE' TOWN!

I've been trying to catch up with the rest of the world for the past fifty five minutes and I'm afraid one hour at the net centre is all my lowly student allowanance will allow. So I'll have to leave you at this and come back and finish this story sometime later. Sometime later means sometime when i'm not on my toes, which is actually quite ironic because this happens to be quite a 'dead-ish' town. Speaking of it being a 'dead-ish' town, did I also mention that it is in the middle of nowhere?

A Thousand Words

Pictures are supposedly worth a thousand words right?

At times like these, when I'm struggling to find ten words to string together a decent sentence, pictures do come in handy.

But thankfully, this particular picture does say more than a thousand words. I mean just look at their adorable faces, for heaven's sake!
