No more coffee!!

After a latte and a mocha and 3 hours at Borders and the attached starbucks, i have experienced heaven.
i have also learnt.......no more than one coffee drink in one sitting.

my head hurts, i feel weak and i didnt eat lunch cuz i was so sick after the coffee.
i spent 3 hours at Borders, selecting, reading, buying, drinking.......ignoring the twisting of my stomach.....

next time, i shoud do mocha with whipped cream.and latte without. and latte with double espresso. must remember that.
i bought lolita, a terry pratchett and a random interesting looking fantasy thing.
i read princess diaries 8(stupid, i know) and some gothicky pop art thing.


they say what you get after death is what you believe you'll get.
i want to get a huge bookstore with a starbucks in it, and unlimited spending money.

Not-so-sweet Sixteen

Hey i just noticed, this is also my 100th post!
so cool......my 100th post just happens to be my birthday post.......
haha
ok, happy birthday to me!!
so i'm 16 today, though it feels no different from yesterday, it's just a day to commemorate the 16 years i've survived in this world.......

so yesterday, to cheer myself up, i made a list.

16 things that I've achieved in the past year......

1. I jumped my best high-jump yet.
2. I let go of a cat
3. I got another cat
4. I started a blog
5. I studied for and wrote 10th grade board exams
6. I made a new friend
7. I got all-time disappointing low board marks
8. I saw snow for the first time and had a mega snow fight
9. I trekked about 32 km in one week
10. I learnt to live with silence
11. I got my eyebrows done
12. I learnt to accept myself as I am and not care about what other people think.....well, mostly.
13. I learnt the useful art of stress relief.
14. I got yet another cat, that makes two.......
15. I learnt to tolerate different kinds of people
16. I found an aim in my previously aimless life....

All that is just one year! man, i guess i'm an overachiever.......
hm, what can i say, i haven't yet achieved the art of modesty!

My mom was thingking of giving me 16 gifts, but the idea didn't materialise, she didn't have time to go buy stuff.
ah, well, tomoro morning is mega-shopping day.yippee! i will buy more books, and maybe a pair of jeans if i find them.....
hmm.....
so.
My 16th birthday has offered me no special insights, nothing yet, but hey, it's only 9 in the morn and the day is not over......
to date, I have 12 scraps, 4 facebook posts, 7 messages, and a lot of phone calls including 3 internationals.
see, this is what makes me feel all good and warm inside......
being remembered by people i love.
sigh.......
anyway, it's gonna be a great day, i'm sure....
after all, you turn 16 only once!

Waiting

Tuesday.

Looking forward to it, i suppose, in a way.........
also not looking forward to it.....

not looking forward because my (insert adjective) Physics tuts teacher has decided to keep a 5 hour long numericals marathon, starting at 8 am. (unearthly time to wake up on a holiday..........)

looking forward (and yet dreading it) since it just happens to be the day i turn sixteen.....

huh, lets see how it goes.....

huh.

desperately searching for something to fill up the holes in my heart..........................................................
....
....
....
hmm, brownies should do it.

Movie Magic

I went to watch Om Shanti Om yesterday......
It managed to incorporate elements from various other movies, hindi as well as english, at the same time retaining its own identity.
i actually thought of a lot of things to write about it when i was in the theatre, but i forgot it all the minute i came out.
sigh.
anyway, it was hilarious, colourful, and purely entertaining.You have to watch it to know.
very very glitzy.
which is what movies are supposed to be, na?
i did notice two things.......
karan johar did the costumes.
shah rukh was wearing a girl's shirt in one of the scenes (the grey 'who cares' thing. i swear i've seen in in zync)
what does this tell you??

and dard-e-disco seems to be done for th sole purpose of showing off srk's ultra hot new body.....
now i know why guys like item songs.
woo-hoo......................

now it's back to the books.
ugh. chem on wednesday, surprisingly i've finished most of it, and i'll actually have a full day to revise!

aaargh

panicpanicpanic....................

yea exams are back.
posts will be few and far between till the 3rd of dec. at least, they should be.
special post of 27th nov will come.
else bbye.

you see?
panicpanic.....

Very Random things

It's not love that makes the world go round, now it's money. rather pathetic innit??

I had a whole bunch of things thought out here, but i forgot them. sigh, and that's the way the world goes.

Maheen's in heat again, so we have to put up with tortured oversexed cat yowlings every other hour till it passes over. we also have to hear discontented cat croonings.ah, well.
the Other Cat is as frisky as ever, but something seems to have happened to one of it's eyes, it's all red and watering. he will be taken to the vet today.

I'm getting kinda into facebook, but it also depresses me because i don't really get anything. ah, well, much i care.

An old friend got back in touch. (contented smile) This is why i love the internet.

Ah. I mentioned my Xavier's application thing to dad the other day. He didn't sound very happy (in fact, he distinctly told me 'i'm not happy') but he didn't tell me why. he just 'refuses to discuss it now'.
shit man, what do i do???? i want to apply there so badly, i want it so much mannn......
and i don't even know what he has a problem with, whether it's me shifting stream, or it's me shifting stream NOW, or what. I just don't know. That's dad for you. he's very much like me. and i won't say much more about him here, somehow i don't think it's right.
but anyway, mom said she'd talk to him. i need him to get me more details when he goes to mumbai in december.
Damn i can't wait to go.....................
else all is good. my exams start in exactly one week, and i stayed home from school today so i could study. i better go keep my word.
over and out.

Speculations

First, Happy Diwali to everyone out there......
now that's out of the way.....
yesterday was the official diwali get together thing at our house....
which turned out to be kinda boring because half of the younger generation din't turn up.
i awaited the arrival off kaydee, but it turned out she was sitting at home writing journals.
sad.
after three and a half hours of hostessing, i got sick and tired, went to my room, ripped off my sari and emerged punk like in a tiny grey mini in white tshirt.
you have no idea how good it felt.
currently, my mom's work friends party is going on.....
total gigglefest. i'm gonna go join in after i'm done with this, i love mom's work friends.....
the cats are getting along famously now.
they look so cute together, both are white woth dark ears.they almost look like mother and son.
maheen is currently sulking
the unnamed cat (i prefer calling him that, my parents with their crazy sense of humour nearly named him himesh reshammiya!) is currently being bottle fed.
aaaaah.....
so yesterday i was so irritated with life in general, and science in particular.....when kaydee's mom gave me the idea of applying to xaviers next year instead of after my 12th grade, i jumped at it.
i did a little bit of research and it appears that i can indeed apply there next year.
yay!!
oh god i so hope this works out.....i want this more than i've ever wanted anything else.......
may the force be with me..........

Of eventful days and boy-haircuts

Totally murphy's law, right?
The day you don't go to school/college, something happens.
I skipped school a coupl of days ago....that day my friend/partner/depressed poetess sprained her back jumping down the stairs. sigh. total bed rest for two days.........poor kid.

Anyway I finally asked Hazel-boy why he got his hair cut (it looked totally hot before he cut it, all curly n stuff, but then the next day it's all hacked off. sigh)
So he tells me it hadn't been cut for over three months.
I say, so what, it looked totally hot (trying not to sound too enthu here...lol) and he says it was a pain to maintain.
sigh.
so you think a shoulder length ponytail isn't a pain to maintain? (i'm just doing it because i got bored with short hair)
dude, i say to him, all you have to do is comb it and you're good to go....
I never do comb it, he says.
!!!!!!!!!!
Then is it just me who feels a need to comb my hair whenever i see it looking not-so-perfect??
urgh....i dunno, all kinds of things could get into your hair if you didn't comb it.......
tangles, sand, sweat (ick), tiny insects, just to give an example.........
not that much of that could get into Hazel-boy's now cruelly short hair..........
sigh.

and today the teachers of our school made a potentially big boo-boo...........
they announce: any class 9 and 11 students interested in march past (for sports day) may move to the field immediately.
MASS WALKOUT!!!
lol.
So i 'moved' to the field with everyone else, with rather embarassed memories of how i got kicked out of march past year-before-last (due to crappy coordination).............
and now i find i'm kinda good at it.
what's more, i'm COACHING march past this year.
big big lol, seeing as i'm not gonna be actually marching.
oooh life goes on..............
the tuition nightmare continues.......
starting at 4pm.
today.
sigh.

ah, we also have a new kitten in the household. he is as yet unnamed.Maheen doesn't seem to like him, she keeps hissing at him. Havoc in the house!

Relevations

Today, after listening to Zombie properly, i found out that it isn't really the trash people keep singing. The voice that sings '...with their tanks, and their bombs, in your head, in your head, they are fighting.....' is hauntingly beautiful.also, it's singing about WAR.

Then I find out quite a lot of things about a pretty good friend.............from someone else.
sigh.
stuff which you really wish you knew
But knowing Aiman...(do i, really?)...he wouldn't bother....... ah, well.it changes nothing.

Anyway, it's exhibition time, and i'm enjoying myself....checking out all projects, doing my own, helping out with the really hot project next to ours.....
going to watch sketch comedies, basically roaming around, la la la. you know how it is.

And then i have to sove kay's emotional problems. Which, believe me, are tough.
sigh.
