It's not extortion if Jesus is holding the gun.
I think it was A----- that coined the term "recovering Catholic". It's a fantastically amusing term, but it is, in a lot of ways, so eerily fitting. Those of us who leave the religion behind never fully succeed. When it comes to indoctrinating children for life, Catholic families are some of the best in the business. This doesn't necessarily have ( Read more... ) -
Grand Canyon Trip = GRAND FAILURE
I've been told that I sometimes have the habit of being "too nice" - I'd be lying if I said it wasn't true. There are times I genuinely have a hard time saying "NO!" to people despite my better judgment. I’ve certainly gotten better about this fact recently, but I’ve realized that going out on a limb for people is going to cost me a limb one of ( Read more... ) -
I guess this really is a new me.
So, something interesting happened today. I was supposed to present a group project today alongside a partner that had done none of the work. In the past, I've been gracious enough to let this sort of thing slide, but in the light of 2010's more assertive Abilash, I decided that I absolutely could not let this go. As such, I walked up to my ( Read more... ) -

...And so it ends.
In a lot of ways, I suppose this was inevitable. Breakups suck, but I guess life goes on. It always does. -
Hm...
Being back in India means, among other things, dodging marriage proposals that I have no real interest in. That said however, I doubt I'm ever going to find a better offer than Rs. 20,000,000 (~$250,000), and a few acres of choice land for consenting somebody I've never met before. -
"Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love."
I’ve always had an interesting relationship with my father. It’s been defined by a lot of strong (and sometimes conflicting) emotions over the course of my life. I have however, always trusted him to be honest with me, and vice versa. While I’ve kept secrets from him in the past, I’ve never lied to him about anything important. My father has been ( Read more... ) -
Game over.
Like a lot of you on my friends list, I grew up gaming. I shot ducks in duck hunt, headbutted coin blocks in the Mario games, fought aliens in Contra, and got mauled by Mike Tyson in Super Punch Out. These are some of the fondest memories from my youth ( Read more... ) -

You know, after the debacle that was last year's birthday, I was surprised and overjoyed at how well this birthday went. I am pleased. ♥
Also, in other news I am now TWENTY-FOUR. Gods, do I feel old. -
～Tales from the abyss, part trois～
Wow. I'm not even really sure about where I should start. This isn't necessarily because my trip to the native country was a particularly eventful one, mind you - it's just that I've had some variation of the Indian Death Flu eating up my brains for the last week, so thinking has proven to be a little more challenging than I would have liked. That ( Read more... )
