Facebook is now the new limit of joblessness

Why?
It's so jobless (and bored) that it's crossed over to ridiculous.
On my facebook homepage, I see that friends of mine have taken the following quizzes:

What kind of currency are you?
Your ideal job.
"What do ur Hands tell about YOU???"
"The impossible quiz"
Dream Job
"Which Disney Channel Star are YOU?" (no I'm serious. Does it get worse? Apparently it does.)
"What city (in India) would suit you best?"
How Many Kids Will You Have?

Yup. They do get worse, by the way.
Then there was that wave of pictures where everyone tagged everyone......You know? those pictures : "every class has them" and all that. Pure inane balderash.

Facebook status updates are a different story. Those are actually quite fun to read. Some of them are well put, some of them are cryptic, some are pretentious. Some are song lyrics, Some are plain irritating.
They should do an exhibit with FB updates....
case in point.
Page one on my friends list goes thus: (I'm using everyone's initials here)

SKDS just had soooo much fun!!! Thanx alot Kristian, Seoula, Vernon, Shaggy, Til n of course PETTO(Terence:)!!!
SM : (8) Jab tak rahega samose mein aloo, tera rahoonga, o meri Shalu (8). Pagalpanti bhi zaroori hai ;). :P.
PP "A LE MENTHE." (wtf does that even mean?)
MB dying to go solo.
DF feels lyk rippin sumthin apart....dunno y??
KUP is completely in ♥ with her new haircut...n im not gonna upload my pics until everyone's seen me on monday...i'll admit,i want the attention....=).
AO ......its jst silence silences..(This is from some poem - its silence silences. I can't remember which one, and that's been driving me nuts)
ID has a Maths exam on Monday. In two words, he's dead. In three words, he's SO dead. In four words, he's so fucking dead. In one sentence, he should shut the fuck up and get back to studying.
AR is takin alota these quizes on fb outta boredom! (so bored??)

Etcetera. You see? I don't think I really have a point to make, I just find it funny. Large cross-section of people and all that. Could be a social experiment, of sorts, sifting through status updates. They may even help solve crimes, that's if anyone's stupid enough to go : (insert name here) dropped bombs at CST today haHA.
sigh.
Facebook is cool, oui... all I'm saying is....it currently seems to be smacking of desperation.
weird, innit?

Mysty gets protective.

Call me hypocrite, but I will always be jolted in the heart if I hear the word 'Fuck' or any of its derivatives spill out of the mouths of those I consider as my baby sisters.

OHMAGOD I LOVE MY LIFE.

It's been two days.
On the 21st, we went bowling and then to McDonalds. And Baskin Robbins.
Yesterday, Jan, Vagi and I went to the beach. And Starbucks. And then back across the beach.....walked a little bit, got some sexy shawarmas (Vagi was craving) and then made it back to Shatti Plaza in time for the 7.30 show of Slumdog Millionaire.
I don't care what Amitabh Bachchan or the critics say......it was a great movie.
Today morning? Party. Lucky's b'day treat. Pizza Hut and Starbucks. YAY! And in the evening I went over to Anyu's to have the much postponed catching up. Went to the vid store, guess who i see? Vagi! So I ended up at HER place (Anyu had to go home) and got picked up from there.
It's been two days.
I'm here for a month.
If every day is going to be this busy...I'm going to be in sheer bliss.

Full Circle

With this, my blog has travelled a full circle from where I started. I started......in a fit of sheer boredom the day after my 10th board exams. I'd wanted to get out of the house, my friends had wanted to sleep. I needed somewhere to vent. So I started this place. Didn't know what I was getting into.
Ever since then, this blog has been like....a platform, an escape. I've vented here about countless exams, friends, love, and stuff that irritates. I've tried to actually write, to be funny. I've put up photos and a bit of artwork. I've made friends. Quite good ones. And, as you'll see if you've been jobless enough to read this right from the beginning, I've kind of grown as a writer...and a person. I'm pretty sure I feel less like a stupid kid than I did back then.
My life has practically turned around ever since I started writing here. Back in 11th, I was depressed because my friends had moved away...back in 11E we nudged into a mishmash gang of sorts, but we weren't really that close until 12th. We were the proverbial backbenchers who loved physics, struggled through chem, sailed through math and slept through English. (our teacher was soporific. Most classes sleep in class when they're bored, when we were bored in English we did the assignments.) Sneh, Sriya, S, Anki, RoshKesh, Snoopy, TT and me. We were the original "8 of us, you know, our gang" at the beginning of the year. Since then, this has expanded to include the Kashmiri, Jo, Jan and Vagi. Friends indeed.
The last year of school. I was captain. And I can truly say it was a year I'll never forget. Stressful, yes, very. But I still enjoyed every moment and I don't think I'll ever regret anything I've done these past two years.
Till now, yes, it's been predicted. I stayed here and did science and gave my 12th boards. From here, who knows? The circle has been drawn, now my life will go off on a tangent.... I think my destiny will lead me to Bombay.....I just have a very good feeling about that place, and I know that living there will change me forever and actually give me that sense of responsibility and independence, and help me be who i really want to be.
Till then...I have a lot of stuff swirling in my head, it's all gonna pour out here.
So cheers to me! Long life ahead and all that.... Love you all.
-Myst.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHM

That was the compulsory yell. For an actual version, feel free to call.
MY BOARDS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a lot to say, a lot to write, lots of ideas, etc....but all that starts tomorrow. Today, today is just the sheer joy and scream of boeing out of High school and science for-fucking-ever.

One of the best bloody quotes ever....

"Me, I'm dishonest. And you can always trust a dishonest person to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you can't trust. Because you never know...when they're going to do something really stupid."
- Capt. Jack Sparrow.

Well? I've ALWAYS loved that line. Because it's rather true.

English exam. On Friday the 13th. That should be fun, provided the floor doesn't sudden;y swallow us.

Thus with all manner of Amulets and a cursory knowledge of my english textbooks, I depart.

To Change Or Not To Change

....That is my dilemma.
Facebook profile pictures. My cellphone wallpaper. My desktop wallpaper....and my blogger template. I don't change them very often. Maybe because I subconsciously feel they kinda define my identity or something.....
My Facebook profile pic is currently the sun-holding pic Kay took of me in December. The cellphone wallpaper is the same pic. Desktop is some old anime vampire I set a couple of years ago when I was in my anime phase, and then was too lazy to change.
I like this template, I really do. It's dark. It's got a beautiful cat and a french poem on the header.
But maybe it's time for a change, no? It'll still be predominantly black, of course, but maybe with some colour in it.......
Just a thought...
And thus i end up hunting around on http://www.pyzam.com/ for something that sends sparks in my soul......and defines me.
Wish me luck.

Edit, an hour later : Shit shit shit. Now i'm stuck with a dirty brown template till i get it all sorted out. The gadget thig isn't opening because server's down. And i just realised that all of PyZam's templates, even though they're beautiful, have all the profile and all on the right side. Shit. why do I never learn?
More updates. Soon.

Edit, half-hour later: Layout thingy scares me. I suddenly realised that if I used a different template maybe i'll have to do the whole bloody 81 item blog list again. thus i have reverted to my nice soothing cat template. Sigh. Help.
Can anyone volunteer to design me a wonderful and absolutely unique template? or even tell me how I can use pyzam.com's templates while retaining me blogger-layouts blog list? Thanks....

Two Down

Yup.
I have officially Fatto-ed physics from my life.
*wild whoops of joy*

And so the End Begins

With a hall. Yeha, they held the exam in the hall this time, the same hall where we've sat (slept) through countless assemblies, the same hall where, just two weeks ago, we were all bejewelled and sari clad to celebrate our grand exit from ISM.
Lemme tell you, it was goddamned irritating.....
First, you freeze by the time three hours are up. Second, my seat's almost right in front. Literally front and center. Sighhhh.
The paper, well, it wasn't as easy as I'd hoped for, but it was quite good. And oh my GAAWWWWD it is such a relief to get chem over with!!
Forever!!!!!
Now it's physics on friday, which I'm pretty much ok with. So after a 'short nap' it's back to the books for me.
Sigh.


No chem.
Ever.
Again.


wow.
