The highlight of the last couple of days has been me doing some back-to-school/off-to-college shopping for my brother and me, where I scaled through the racks and shelves of Wal-Mart and Target for exciting items such as highlighters, thumbtacks and hair ties.

I love how all my birthday money is being used for small but necessary items like shampoo ( Read more... )

So out of boredom, I looked my name ('Preeti') today online. It derives from the Sanskrit name "Priti".
Preeti = love.

To that I say: HA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH

and HA!

A thought just occurred to me. You know how in high school, everyone has a "label" of some sort? Ok, maybe not but in my high school, they kind of did. Not the traditional "punk/goth/prep" labels but, eh, other labels that become more prominent as time goes on after high school, when you stop thinking about a person as a full character but as a ( Read more... )

So, someone in the family died.
Apparently, it was our "family leader", I didn't even know we had a "family leader" until my mom told me on Sunday. I tried asking her what exactly it was that the leader does but she wouldn't give me a straight answer. All she said was, "Oh, he's the one who can deem us proper Brahmans." And now, he's dead. Who's ( Read more... )

I haven't been sleeping well. I can't fall asleep at night. I stay awake and my mind stays active as it wonders and wonders about different subject, but somehow always landing at love. Then, I punch my pillow, close my eyes and listen to music but my mind just doesn't rest. Eventually, I fall asleep and am woken up briefly at 7 AM by my mother ( Read more... )

I'm in bit of a hurry (meaning, I want to go to bed) so I'm going to do that nifty little bullets thing, all right?

- The Princess Bride has got to be one of the most silliest books I've ever read. I don't know why--I just don't like it. I've heard nothing but praise for it and yes, it seems mildly interesting that the author has made some ( Read more... )

Dude, you know what just happened? My boombox broke. For no reason. I did nothing to it. I can't play CDs anymore. My iPod doesn't have enough capacity to hold every CD I own! Or, not even that, every album I simply like.

Shit.

I can't play CDs anymore!

[edit] Amazingly, my hoping paid off. It miraculously restored itself to working condition today. ( Read more... )

You know, I try not to panic and I try to keep a cool head while under pressure and it just doesn't work.
I want to panic because if I can't plan something I'm already anxious about down to the last second, then I think that is well worth panicking.
I plan. I anticipate. When forced to deal with spontaneity in a future event that I know will be ( Read more... )

I have spent the last three hours online, trying to create a good schedule for the quarter. Three fucking hours. Making sure I don't have two finals on the same day. Making sure I have an hour between classes to get around. Making sure my classes are evenly spread out throughout the week. Making sure I don't schedule the two things for the same ( Read more... )

My dear, how could you ever leave me in this mess?
I dream of you so often, you seem to turn away

When lost, I read Dramione fan fiction. I'm desperate to read something that isn't Nora Roberts or Michael Crichton's strange account of the Vikings through some even stranger character names Idb in his book Eaters of the Dead. Those ( Read more... )
