You did something because it had always been done, and the explanation was "but we've always done it this way." A million dead people can't have been wrong, can they?
--Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
Two hours to go before the next class, and I’m unable to crash. So here I am, again. I stumbled upon this simple, crisp format in some blog and thought I could put it to good use.
So, without further ado, here’s my ‘First Fifty to Familiarity’-
- I won’t panic ever
- Unless there is something very vague and useless thought occupying my nimble brain
- I like movies with endings that make u wanna say, “what the fuck!!”
- I feel that the world needs smart people more than industrious ones
- I can run a marathon of 8 kms without giving up
- I’m chronically lazy, lazier than most people around me
- I feel that the eyes are the sexiest part of a woman
- I’m straight
- I’m scared of girls
- I’m mortally terrified of water and fire too
- I like contradictions
- And oxymorons and goldwynisms and spoonerisms
- My sis used to be my best friend
- Now, someone else is
- I feel a bit uncomfortable telling people about my personal life.
- I could listen to Pink Floyd an entire day and not get tired of it
- I think Jim Morrison is one of the ‘stud’-est guys ever on the planet
- I hate to use words like fate, fuck, fear, fire
- I love to use words like lol, hmmm, ‘Have-u-heard- this-joke?’
- I’m bankrupt most of the time
- I puked booze (only) once until now
- I find the hare in “the Hare and the Tortoise” the dumbest of all children story book characters
- But I feel that the moral of the story is completely misconstrued
- I consider it one of the greatest sins to flip the channel when someone is ardently watching something on tv
- If some beggar comes up to me with a kid in her arms, I wont give her anything
- If a child beggar sings or performs something really well, I might
- I would prefer to get wet in the rains rather than wear a raincoat (if mom allows me to get wet, that is)
- I don’t dream, and if I do , I hardly remember them
- And if I remember at all, it would be all too disconnected and too vague
- I used to pray
- Now, I don’t. I feel that praying for urself is selfish; it’s ok to pray for others
- I’m finding this shit really tough to write
- I have no idea where I’m heading to
- I wish I did
- Weirdo fascinates me!!
- I like to surprise people
- I love getting surprised myself
- Sometimes, I surprise myself
- I’m not a good liar
- I like misleading people though
- I think I’m better than most people around me
- Aham brahmasmi
- I’m tired of writing this. I need to get some rest
- I’m back
- I’d prefer a quiet night alone in the park to a party with a multitude of people
- I’m more or less content
- I believe it is the finest virtue of a human being to seek his/her own personal happiness
- I love food, but I’m not sure if the stomach is the best way to a man’s heart
- I’d hate to make someone hate me
- I was here. So were you.
