'Licious Nine ya'll

See what a nice person Iam: Early morning today would have seen a lot of HR managers very happy after opening their prospective future employee emails, and seeing this from Spice. I do hope you didn't get caught red handed with that ensueing search for 'certain' flicks themed on new years..You are thinking about it now aren't ya!

get over with it damn 2008

Been waiting for this year to be over.. the last few days seems slower somehow. But I really can't complain.. I had an awesome week that's got me thinking about a lot of things. I met a few bloggers actually! None of them had any idea though.

Anyhow, did something so-not-me few minutes back. I am on a beer buzz right now, and went on a whim and said something to someone. lol. This is going to be interesting. Wondering whether I will even get a reply email. (OT)

On a happier note, a certain someone is out with her family and bf right now. Sorta like meet the in-laws! I am truly happy for the couple since it seems like a big step and I can only imagine the feeling.

Now can I be more cryptic eh?


ooooh Happpppy New year peeps! It's just another turn of a day, but atleast us limited brained humans can be disillusioned into somekind of hope nay ? toodees

must.drink.beeer.

I want a Tshirt with this print!


UPDATE : I got my beer last night :) with a doze of good food served by confused waiters after a crappy hindi movie.

2008

It seems like it has whizzed by. Yet certain memories are stuck in slow motion, some happy, some not. 2008 has been nothing like I ever thought it could be. I have been tagged by the cynical one. And that! Strangely, one thing yours truly is sure than a Long Island Iced Tea is that she has become more cynical over the past year, if not anything else. And no Sach, that's not coz you have been rubbing off on me. :P

During 2008,

- Lost hope on the one thing that I truly ever believed in, in my life. Though I am glad of how things turned out, I still don't know how deep the scar is. Found myself coming out, jaded than ever.

-constantly keep finding myself looking into my life from outside the fishbowl. Not sure whether I truly feel anything anymore. Not sure whether things I thought I felt are even real.

-made a few new quite colourful friends. All younger than me, yet the perfect package. :) And I am grateful, since I don't click easily and I know I wouldn't have been able to get by without the distractions I had thanks to them.

-said goodbye to another few good friends, who has been taken away by the marriage movement. They are all faraway. Too far. I now know that it's very difficult to be maintain a similar bonding after they get married, despite everything said.

-got to a level of *hick* borderline alcoholism I think. *hick* Nay, I can control myself. :P But it doesn't help that all the new friends you are making are hardcore into the happy portion.

-had a couple of younger men, who showed interest in me. I find men in my own age very immature still, thus the idea of a younger brain was a huge no-no, even though the hot browned bodies were tempting. I want to write this fact down, so that I can smirk at myself 20-30 years from now when I am a old crazy gadget lady ( vs. becoming a crazy cat lady). If only you gave up on finding a mature, funny AND intelligent alien, you would be a happy grandma spice now, you silly old cow.

-earned up for all the immature things I compromised on, for the last 3-4 years. I let go this year. And was happy doing things my way, on my own morals and not trying so hard to stand with one leg skewered on that high pedestal. Proud of myself for learning to call it quits.

-contrary to what the above point might suggest, inside I grew up far more than what I let anyone else in on.

-actually started writing on the blog I created more than a year ago, which in turn was on the coming for more than 2 years. lol. maara procras eh?

-lost all hope on finding a job I think I deserve. 2009 is not getting any left over hope.

-the year has been one of extreme highs and lows, and tough decisions. I thought nothing could top 2004 , but 2008 proved me wrong. Wonder whether it comes with the Olympics always.

This was tough to write. Took far longer than I wanted to spend on it, nostalgia has a funny way of taking over. I just hope that everything will turn out for the better if not the best. I am scared to have any expectations at all now. So fickle! this life.


postscript: In my emo state I actually forgot to tag anyone yesterday. DarksideDaily and MiddleChild you are it. I believe the original tag went something like "So this is christmas..and what have you done.."

One more thing I forgot.. I left a city and people I grew to love over the past few years and returned to SL. For good I think. :S I might not return there soon enough, and I think I am still blissfully ignorant about it.

A for..?

A for - Annoying
- Airbag
- Agly
- Anarkali...

Other than politicians and OrbiTracks and failures at TV stints, doesn't she have anything else to do other than strut around in Odel, impairing the hearing and eyesight of shoppers? She doesn't seem to be shopping either, just yapping. and more yapping. Everytime I have been at this particular store, she's always there. Every TIME!
WHY?

Shoppers: Beware of the blondi with the sagging chest in a shiny bag of a dress. She seems to have got the hair colour matched correctly with her brain type atleast.

Effing thing of an year

dreams chuffed out

Question

Why do people have to pose with the 'V-sign' (peace symbol) in each and every photo they take ?
One or two, I can understand. But all?

Same goes to the 'rock-on sign' too.. ---->> \m/
hmm.. It is called the rock on symbol yea?
I have been spotting this on every photo of all the wannabe heavymetal headbangers, weeders, stoners, you name it. Again, it's not in one or two, but every photo. repetitive and unrelated.

Oh yeah, it's on those facebook walls and photo comments too!

This reminds me of another thing most Sri Lankans seem to overdo. Their sense of fashion. Let some piece of clothing come into fashion, lo and behold, within one months time you see every damn shop out there selling it by bulks and every woman and child wearing the same foresaken style! I know it's called fashion but you really don't have to overdo it or wear what everyone else seems fashionable! For some reason collectively they overwear a certain item and run it to the grave, that you'd not want to be even caught dead in it.

Some such items-
I remember elephant pants was a rave when I was kid.
As of recent - Babydolls, leggings?, those boldly printed tops, the chunky belts, hotpants..

Alrighty, back to my lazy lazy sunday evening.. :)
