He he… say that 20 times fast… :)
I just did the most random thing… accidentally clicked ‘next blog’ and reached some guys journal. Written really well. Couldn’t help reading it!!! Anyway. My weirdness aside… actually, what else do I have to write about But that!? He he…
Ok
So. Not been well. Flu. No biggie. Got to skip college. Which wasn’t really that great a feat since we only had to go in a few hours on some days to show our faces. So basically got sleep and rested up. Which was great :D
There was an auto strike on today. And apparently some ppl were burning tyres and stuff… left unions on strike or something. So anyway, no one went to work, from home I mean. Not NO one at all! Whatever… bit sleepy. Late and I didn’t get that much nap time today…
Thinking of going to college tmrw. Not that I feel like it. But I’m not really sick anymore… but I have to go in on saterday. Ethnic day *barf* why do they have those? Have to dress up in a sari and everything… not my idea of fun.
Actually I don’t really mind wearing a sari that much… it’s ok. U get used to it. And it isn’t uncomfortable per se, just feels a bit awkward. Mainly it’s the getting dressed which is a pain. Hate that. And ironing the cholli and petticoat. That’s BAD. The one good thing is that I have my own sari’s… and therefore chollies and petticoats that actually fit. Major improvement to wearing something that doesn’t. but still, have to go sort out which one. Silk or cotton? What colour? What style? Bha! Rather just wear jeans and a t shirt… he he
Oh well… have to, so better sit tmrw and sort it all out.
At least I don’t have the problems of some of my friends! One of them has to go get her belly button ring removed coz her mom doesn’t know about it, and would FREEK OUT! He he… that’s why u should learn how to tie your own sari… not that I have anything to hide. Pity… :)

ahhh... time

he he... finally, time to post. but i'm going to keep this short coz it's 5:00a.m. and i want to go take a short nap before college. things are crazy.... the Delhi media H.O.D was here this week, her name is sangitika... anyway, she came in to sort things out. and although i'm not too sure how good a job she did, things are more settled then they were before she showed. At least we have a time table now, and are going to be starting our course work. actually we've already started, just haven't done as much of it as we should've. only started the documentary section. anyway, we're going to shoot our films and then we'll be done with that. so by oct we'll be on our way. i'm happy coz it means we'll be done by the 2nd week of December, exams and all... yay! means a huge break.
okie... should go now, give my self and the comp a break. feeling a bit hyper actually. probably due to the coffee buzzing about in my system... and the lack of sleep too. although i did get 7 hours last night! and a short 2 hr nap this afternoon :) which was pure decadence and laziness on my part... he he.
okie doke, that's all folks...
oh, and NOBODY comment on any spelling errors here... there will be sever consequences... i am in no condition to do anything about my spelling or even care. so shush. ur trivial opinions are not required. lol :)
bbye... feel free to comment if it's positive. otherwise u will have to 'give me a moment to suppress my deep hatred' he he he... bet only k knows where that's from. and now i'm just wasting time and procrastinating... which is just plain silly since the only thing i have to do now is curl up in bed! so... so long people. for the very last time tonight... erm... this morning, i mean.

The general suckyness of all things even remotely similar to life

The title should give u a clue of my current mood. Feel free to skim or just skip the following. Not like the post will be worth reading anyway…


I hate college. I want to quit. We’re doin useless boring stuff that doesn’t seem to be in the least bit connected to our syllabus. And it’s time consuming and bleh.
I just know we’re going to suffer when exam time comes around. We usually have a hard time completing our portions when we have the whole four months to do it in. and we’ve already wasted over a month. I’m sick of my classmates. I’m especially sick of parvathi. And I dislike the faculty. He doesn’t know squat. What’s worse, he cant make up his mind. I HATE HIM!!! he keeps giving us these daft, and pointless assignments and he’s NEVER clear about what exactly he wants from us. AURGH!!!
And my teeth hurt.
Why do we need wisdom teeth. My head is aching, and so is my jaw. And neck. I’m tired. But it hurts. So I cant sleep. Also I have one more damn assignment to do.
Two actually. A stupid script thing, and a slide show. The pictures I will have to take tmrw… but I don’t really even have a story idea yet. I miss having sane faculty to take problems too. Is the world conspiring against me? I’m beginning to feel like I have cause to be paranoid.

Misery does not need company, but everyone else I know seems to be having as sucky a time right now. Poor us…

everything is wonderful now

He he... love this song.

I just made a new play list of all the songs that make me feel happy. Quite a long list actually. Isn't it strange how each of us associate specific songs with certain emotions or feelings? Sometimes they can even bring up memories long buried.

Actually that's not really all that weird. After all the same thing happens with smells! For example the smell of freshly baked, or baking bread will always remind me of the school kitchen, and the cosy feeling it had. So, no wonder sounds have as powerful an effect.

What really stumps me though, is the fact that it doesn't always make sense, what I mean is, the song could be about something else entirely, but we remember it in a certain way and that's what we react to. Maybe it the circumstances of when we first heard the song, or whatever. But the emotions created at that time stick, and that's how we will always react to that song. Unless of course, one day you hear the song at the same time as something even more powerful then the first memory is going on. Then maybe the feeling for that song, and the memories it elicits, changes.

Not at all sure I’m putting this across clearly. So lets see if I can come up with an example... ok, the other day I was watching 'Rock Star INXS' and one the contestants sang this Bonnie Raitt song, ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’. anyway, I don’t even remember ever having heard this song before. But I really liked it, and I had this really clear memory of a room, and this lovely safe feeling.

No clue how it popped up. And I had absolutely no recollection of where that room was! So later, I was listening to the song on the comp and my sis walks in and I told her about the memory that came with it. She started laughing and told me I was remembering the living room of some friends of my parents. Apparently we used to go there for parties when we were tiny, and they usually played this song. I must have been about four…

I don’t even remember those people anymore. But that song produced such a strong image that I could describe that room a good 17 years later. Weird huh? And then there are songs like Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful tonight’, I don’t think there will ever be a time when I listen to this song and don’t think about my parents dancing.
But that's what songs are about, they're ment to make u feel.

sob!!!

don't feel like working and i have a HUGE assignment due tmrw. what's worse, we were only given it yesterday. and i didn't have a chance till now to sit down to it... but now i'm tired and would rather just go take a nice hot bath and then go to bed. life sucks.
he he
feeling better now.
but still dont feel like working...
it's going to take positively HOURS! and i spent the whole morning wandering around in the hot sun taking pictures for another assignment.
have a headache too. *pout* i need a hug. but all of my family have gone to sleep already!!! and hardly anyone is on line... so i can't even chat my self out of the blues. sigh....
now i'm depressed again. i think i may be coming down with something. only explanation for the way i'm feeling. which is, basically, wretched!
mayb a bath would make me feel better. relaxing... yeah. i think i'll go do that.
