25 Random Things About Me:

1. I am deathly afraid of cockroaches. I can't be near one without screaming my head off. The ones that scare me the most are those fucking huge ones that fly. Why do these devil's spawn even exist?!

2. I HATE chatspeak. How hard is it to type "how are you?" instead of "hw r u?" You just have to add five more alphabets! That's it! One girl even greets me this way - "hi gm.h r u?" I don't even reply sometimes!

3. I am in love with the song "Stand Up" by Flobots. The lyrics and the music are just fantabulous! You should listen to their album.

4. I am the most fickle person around. If today I like something, I may hate it tomorrow, and vice versa. One of my nicknames is Ficky Fickleton :)

5. I am OBSESSED with Final Fantasy VII, and I will not stop until I finish the game!

6. I hate it when someone corrects my pronunciation. It upsets me, and I get very angry.

7. I love lip balm! I have a huge stash of different flavoured ones! The funny part is, no matter how much you apply them, they never get over! My favourite lip balm is the strawberry flavoured one from Neutrogena.

8. I hate my job (everyone knows this!) but I am too afraid to quit.

9. I have separation anxiety(?) I can't let go of people or places easily. I get very emotional when someone leaves, or if I have to leave for somewhere. I have trouble letting go.

10. I have really tiny teeth, and I am very conscious about them. When I laugh, I cover my mouth with my hand, cause it looks like I have no teeth when I do so.

11. I love travelling long distances by BEST buses. The only condition is I need to be sitting. Standing on a cramped BEST bus is just horrid!

12. My sister is my guide. She really gives the best advice (even though she's 2 years younger!)

13. I used to have a pen-pal from Scotland named Emma. She was a really good person, but we stopped writing about 4 years ago. I wonder where she is now.

14. I HATE NRIs. I just hate them! I don't even have a reason!

15. From 2001 - 2004, I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys. I was madly in love with Howie Dorough, and I wanted to marry him.

16. Speaking of marriage, I wanted to get married to Akshay Kumar when I was 9 years old. I used to tell my mom, I love him so much, I don't even mind being his maid, just so I could be close to him.

17. I saved every sms my ex sent me on my last phone. I never deleted a single one even after we broke up. I still read them sometimes and smile/cry.

18. My favourite Breezer flavour is Orange. In fact, orange is my favourite flavour in everything! Orange is also my favourite fruit!

19. I love cheese. All kinds of cheese. Cheese on everything. Mmm. Cheese.

20. I can't sing hindi songs in tune, but I sing English ones really well.

21. When I meet someone new on the internet, I pretend I am a different person than what I really am.

Bye Bye 2008

Sorry I've not updated in so long. I had no inspiration left in my body. Hopefully all will change with this post.

It's the last day of 2008, and it is time to bid the year a tearful goodbye. 2008 has been the best and worst year of my life. I experienced so many things I never thought possible, all crammed in to one year. Here's a list of what happened to me in 2008:

1. I fell in love with the most amazing guy ever.
2. Kissed a guy for the first time.
3. We broke up.
4. We got back together.
5. We broke up again.
6. We've been best friends ever since.
7. Won the CNBC TV 18 award for best documentary film.
8. Had photograph displayed in the college exhibition.
9. Got a job.
10. Got my first salary, a paltry Rs 3000.
11. Got another job.
12. Purchased a cell phone for mom's birthday.
13. Inspite of joining the gym, have not lost weight.
14. Continous and irritating visits to the Doctor.
15. Got heart broken and angry with the terror strikes in India.
16. Mom's MRI scan came out normal.

That's all, I guess. I wish 2008 would not end though, for one basic simple reason:

In five months, I will be 23 years old :'(
