I just don't know what to do with myself!!!!

...in yesterday's post - I wasn't completely sure if this was a "truth" or a "lie", but now I truly know don't know what to do with myself!!!

Last evening I was a little down and gloomy because I hadn't received any news about my UK visa. And then, woweeee, the man calls me this morning with the soooperb news that I got it - and my head is reeling with excitement! And then, I let my cousin know that she can now get the ticket she already booked (like a month ago) for me! And then, we find out that the booking has been released!!!!!!!!! And now its gonna cost SHITLOADS more!!!!!! And now my head is still reeling - and I'm thinking, what tha fuck-a-roonie dude!

I just don't know what to do with myself.

Songs that make me cry - really cry

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don’t patronize - don’t patronize me

Chorus: cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no you won’t
’cause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t

I’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see
The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me
Morning will come and I’ll do what’s right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Chorus: cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power
But you won’t, no you won’t
’cause I can’t make you love me, if you don’t
----------------------------------------------------------

I can't decide which part of the song is sadder.

This week.

Ok damn, I don't really have anything of relevance to say - but then that’s the great thing about this weblog - there's never been anything of relevance to begin with!

It’s been a good week, I’d say. Though the heat has made me weary. Anyway, tracing back the things that stood out…

So the Joe Satriani concert was sooper-frikken-coolio! He's so fine, he is! Only broke my heart that he didn't play Love Thing! Anyway, he was still very hot in his alien suit which really is what he is... forgive me if that didn't make sense - in my head it did.

What else, I've been making some very slow but steady progress with my holiday plan - which when I get the visas done I'll rant and rave about how excited I really am. I am already - but more soon! In the meanwhile, good wishes and positive vibes will be much appreciated!

We drove to this really pretty place a little out of the city last night. And lay on the road and drank some beers. Thankew Mr. Gander and Ms. Ostrichy for taking us to that happy place!

I’m zoning out now. Enough rambling… Yup! That’s all folks!

Tuesday, May 17, 2005

Lurve thing!

Its 5:49 and I'm still trying to procure a free pass for the Joe Satriani concert. What am I doing typing here... I think I better run along. I think I'll just buy one finally!!! Tootles!!

Friday the 13th

Yup, thats today... and I'm waiting patiently for something to happen - good, bad or ugly- a sign of things to come. Just something to add to what has been a busy & exciting week. Of course, I still haven't written about my legendary incident at the Legends of Rock! And I'm not sure I can put it up here yet!!

Anyway, here are a couple of 'Friday the 13th's that I do recall:
Friday the 13th Feb 1998: 1st Year of college. Mints and me were on a bus to Kodaikanal. To meet her ex-boyfriend. Was also a full moon night, and the bus was full of romancers going to spend a weekend in the hills. All I could think of was that I was at the mercy of this lunatic Tamil Nadu Bus Driver.

Friday the 13th Dec 1991: Class VII. School Teams (Swim, BB, Soccer, Debate) Party. I had the biggest crush ever on a boy from the Soccer Team. And he was there! He was shy!!! Damn did it begin then... my affiliation with the shy ones??!!! Anyway after I was hanging out with his best friend for a greater part of the evening, he finally asked me to dance :o) I think it was the last song!

I can safely say I'm not Paraskevidekatriaphobic! (Paraskevidekatriaphobia: Fear of Friday the 13th)

Anyway, lets see how the day progresses. Another evening at Pecos - yippy! Yippy... thats a daft word, yeah?! But then what about Paraskevidekatriaphobia?!

Boobie Trap!

Ok, so I had (probably) THE MOST EMBARRASSING moment off my life last night! Well I'm hoping that nothing remotely as embarrassing happens to me ever again, so this one will be it. And I'm still too embarrassed to write about it here... but its soooo funny, that I've ended up telling a couple of you already! And I realise that as I tell more people, the embarrassment wears off just a little bit!!! And so this is my way of dealing with it!

And may be I'll tell you more about it, later in the day! For now, I'll say, I feel more and more like that Bridget Jones woman - I mean with this one, I'm far beyond the crying over lost love, and dating men from work, and kissing the wrong men, and ignoring the right ones, and the drunkeness, and the weight gain etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!

Just one thing...

... I thought I should mention! These photos were named by Mister Gander, and I didn't change em! Mainly to bring your notice, that I wasn't being a brat by calling me Pretty Miss Moo :o) awwww, but that is luverly, ainit?!! Hehe! Shyeeee!

Alrighty - Pecos time, after a very long time! Over and out, love you all, thankew very much, love you all!

Bamboo plant, money plant, some spidery type of plant, jasmine tree; Artwork, maps, Pokemon cards, Dancer in the Dark poster, shiney disco ball, hand made toys; Photographs - friends, family, flings, fools, followers, fans, fuckeroonies - WE ARE ALL WOMENS ISSUES!

Getting jiggy...

I recently discovered... like 3 days ago - that I'm addicted to Jigsaw Puzzles!!! We just bought the Ostrich a 3000 piece puzzle and its driving me insane!!!!! If I could, I'd get out of work now and get going with the puzzle!

Well, there aren't many things that I really really get addicted too - that aren't vices I mean! hehe! Its HUGE - 3' x 4' and like an ancient Latin painting of the world type picture. Anyway I've been concentrating on the starry shaped bits and the faces - and theres thousands of bits of actual map with countries and writing left to be done. May be if I get out of here early I'll go to the Ostrich Residence - oh no, its an Idol night, so the Ostrichies will be at my Villa! Hmmm... can't wait to get my hands on it again...

P.S. - who do you think will get kicked out of Idol this time - I didn't watch last night, so I have no idea ...but I love Bo - he's hot AND he has a voice - not like that foolish Constantine - hee hee ha ha ha!!!!

I love Karaoke!

Another perfect weekend went by, but not without the lousy Monday blues, aka bad bad hangover!!!!!

The thing I love about the Dragon Villa, is that we never really grow up and grow out of the silly stuff! And Saturday night was proof of that - from Dumb Charades to L-O-N-D-O-N Statue, we were up till 4:30 in the morning acting like spases - scary part is that we were all very SOBER!!! Will post of a photo of our game soon!

Sunday was sooper too... a long lazy lunch with much yummy wine kept us going till the evening. And then finally it was time for Kroaknights @ Opus!!!! That place just always brings out the best in us - Mr. & Ms. Ostrichy and me! What with Mr. & Mrs. Tote and the whole bunch from 93 there to add to the madness this time! I think I must go there more often - may be this Wednesday(?!) ... see if I bump into the Piano man again ;o)

It didn't end there... dropped in at the Villa to pick up my work clothes, and crashed out at the 93 gang's place! I woke up earlier than usual with "The Reason" playing over and over in my head thanx to it playing all night, and a terrible terrible hang over and a terrible terrible tummy!

Aah, what a laaverly weekend :o)
