The disconnected ramblings of a cOnFuSeD sOuL: January 2010

Love, actually??

Have any of y'all ever wondered if the 'L' word actually exists?? Of course you have!! Especially us girls ;) eh? It is really is MOST annoying that we grow up reading books and watching movies and then are suddenly catapulted into the real world when we realise that we've been fed a pack of LIES.

I am sure everyone is familiar with the quintessential 'prince charming' who comes in many different packages but is essentially always made of the same stuff. He's nice, he's charming(of course), he's terribly handsome and never fails to fall for the 'princess'. But what they don't tell you is that he probably is a narcissist, handsome in a pretty boy way really and in the real world will probably marry a really bitchy rich female and who suits his consequence more than poor old Cindy.

Then there is the 'tall, dark and handsome' variety who's the brooding sort and holds the female gender in contempt except of course when he meets his 'one true love' and 'reforms his life'. Fiddle!! and Poppycock too!

THEN they feed us with ANOTHER pack of nonsense about a nerdy best-friend guy who apparently has been in love with his girl-best friend since ever he can remember and she doesn't realise it, if you please! She, naturally, lusts after the 'hottest but meanest guy in school' (another stereotype) and only after a lot of drama does she realise that her best-friend is actually kinda hot and she's been in love with him her whole life and not known until now! *rolls eyes* Let me tell you something, if a guy likes a girl, more often than not she can definitely tell and especially if he's supposed to be her best friend so that's rubbish and what's more, being in love your whole life and not knowing is rubbish too ! I mean, how weird is that?? How out of touch with yourself do you have to be to not realise? And the nerdy guy's feet probably stink too :P :D Come on!! He can't be that perfect!

So you see, we've been subsisting on made-up idealistic notions and in the real world it is not at all like that. Boys are no prince charmings. The tall, brooding chaps are probably actually dangerous or... er.. just touched in the head. Lets face it. Boys don't brood. :D I'm not saying girls are perfect, far from it. But I am saying that it's not our fault on account of having grown up on books and movies which turn us into silly, sentimental fools.

I wonder if there is anything such as a perfect relationship. I was watching that pathetic show 'emotional atyachar' out of sheer boredom and the host guy said that 30% of females and 50% of males admit to being more interested in their boy/girlfriend's best friend rather than in their boy/girlfriend :| and he very cheerfully added "So you see, your love may actually be eyeing your best friend". Eeep! The statistics, if true, are rather alarming don't you think?? Almost enough to drive me into becoming a nun!

So does 'true love' and crap really exist?? Or is it just something the mysterious 'they' made up so that people will get married and the human race won't die out? :P

Speaking from observation rather than experience, maybe we should learn not to expect too much from guys, acknowledge our superior sense and pardon them for their lack of it :P . And they should learn to think a little of things other than themselves and not run away from emo-stuff. Don't you think they would get along much better then??

Damn, I should write a book!

:D:D

Vampires and Hip-hop

Guess what? I finally did something worthwhile! I joined dance classes :D We're going to be doing hip-hop and jazz...ain't it cool?? The first class did not impress me much- I mean we were 30 or 40 people stuck in this relatively small room with no place to dance. It was ridiculous, we couldn't even do a step without treading on someone's foot or hitting someone's head and the guy says "you're bumping into each other because you're all not turning at the same time":| Today's class was good though, the steps were hard and the song(thankfully) was 'Right Round' :) So yay for hip hop!

VAMPIRE DIARIES IS BACKKK!

And it just got even MORE intriguing! As though I should care even if it didn't, I'd still watch for Damon:D and his pretty ice blue eyes...sigh. I call him Damon because that's who I like. Who knows what Ian is like in real life? I saw his twitter thingy and it was a snore, I regret to say. It's a shame...how can he play someone so deliciously evil and smart and witty and be a duhh in real life?? huh?? Although I'm starting to have mixed feelings about Damon too...He pulled that lady''s heart right out of her body.. eeeewww!.. and killed like dozens of people. I may have a lamentable tendency to be attracted toward 'bad boys' especially vampires and other vicious mythical human-like creatures but I'm not that pathetic as to drool over a killer. Hmm maybe I shan't be soo excited about VD from now on...

....ORRR I could just watch anyway and admire his pretty ice blue eyes without freaking out over the whole morality thing :P Who can resist those eyes eh??

Back to college...sigh

I cannot believe my holidays passed by so quickly...it's crazy..one day I'm falling asleep in class begging providence to make time fly so i can get to my four glorious days of freedom and the next thing u know i'm begging for time to crawl. Back to sleeping in class from tomorrow. Although I probably shouldn't do that. I should pay attention like a good girl. :| Have I mentioned that being good is totally overrated?? Well, it is. It's no fun. But the irony of Fate is such that when you want to be bad and have fun for once in your life, Fate does it's best, it's very best to keep opportunities out of your way. Haha Fate, I don't see nobody laughing.

So I saw this really funny movie 'Analyze This'...superb parody on mobsters. There's a scene where Billy Crystal is doing the Italian mafia guy accent...it's hilarious:)

I also saw this ridiculous movie called 'A view from the top'. Seriously what KIND of a girl would leave Mark Ruffalo to become an international, first class-serving, paris-flying AIR HOSTESS???

Or as they say in the movie, "FLIGHT ATTENDANT":| Same old story, small town pretty girl, big dreams, cute guy, choice between love and ambition, pretty girl picks ambition, regrets it, comes crying back to cute guy who, of course, takes her back. I could have written something better than that. Seriously.

Aaannd my Grand Slam Tennis game finally got working so that's great :) I totally whupped computer game Davenport's ass :) But Serena Williams got the better of me :P And Fedex is wayyyy too hard to beat! He's like alll over the place! Shall show no mercy tomorrow. They're all going to wish they had never been animated.

I suppose I should sleep now, gotta wake up in less than 6 hours :( Ugh, stupid college.

A new year,a new me....(hopefully)

So here's 2010 at last and I am mighty glad of it. 2009 really pissed me off for various reasons. But you know what, I have great hopes for 2010....I just have a feeling that it's going to be different. I want it to be different. I want to BE different. I want to be SOMETHING.

So here's the plan:

1) I am going to try new kinds of food. I have already developed a liking for pasta, a food group which I never thought much of before(is it a food group? I'm sure it is to italians) and i gotta say...I LIKE it! I am also going to learn how to cook; not boring stuff like rotis n all but interesting stuff like.. er...pasta!

2) I am going to find out by the end of this year, what exactly it is that I wish to do in life. I need to find out if I have an aptitude for a career in animation..

3)I am going to watch different kinds of movies. I have already tried a few and it's quite refreshing...I used to always watch those silly rom-coms but post 500 days of summer,becoming jane, oceans eleven and julie and julia, I feel quite changed :P

(btw, this does not mean I don't still love those silly rom-coms:))

4)By the end of this year I will have advanced my knowledge in the field of computer science, either through an internship or through classes...n I will do it!

5) I will not give up halfway on stuff...like this blog for instance. I SHAN'T abandon it.

So there it is...My year-long plan.. What do you think non-existent readers? " I don't think she'll go through with it"? Hah well I'll show you, I will. I am going to decribe my progress or lack-thereof right here and lets see how it goes. I will not let this be just a product of weekend boredom. It will be THE product of weekend boredom!
