Even though I want to bite your head off sometimes, I know that you know we have a special friendship. You are amazing. Don’t change. I love everything about you, even the things that annoy me. I love that you still love me even though I get annoyed with you! And I know there are things about me that bother you, but you get over it and love me anyway :] Boy that was confusing!
You are one...

I want so badly to go to Lollapalooza. I was meant to go to that festival. I just know it. And this year, The Strokes are one of the headliners. I’m so jealous of my friends who are going! Aghh. Next year…next year.

“Now we can finally talk about things I want to talk about. Number one: cocoa...”
– Fez (That 70s Show)
I know that over the past year, and especially this summer, I haven’t been making time for people as much as I should, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s because I’m just like my mom. Everyone who knows my mom knows that she can’t stand to be in one place for too long and she lives her life very spontaneously, making last-minute plans non-stop. She’s...
NY/NJ! Reunited with the 'Cuse Girls!
Tomorrow, I leave for New York and Jersey to finally see the ‘Cuse girls again! I miss them like crazy.
The plan:
Fly to Binghamton, NY and get picked up by Nicole! I can’t wait to see my Nicolaaa :)
Spend the night at Jayne’s! YES! Cow pasture, here I come!
Ex-roomie’s supposed to come from Buffalo and hang out with us. I miss you dearly :(
Next day - spend the...
Thanks to a Hindi movie I watched on the flight coming back from India, I now know that “stressed” spelled backwards is “desserts.” Coincidence? I think not.
I hate this.
What is the first news I receive as soon as I get back from India? A friend of mine just told me that the band who sings my favorite song of all time has split up. Voxtrot. I read a blog post written by Ramesh, the lead singer, explaining the whole thing and I do understand why, but what I’m really really down about is that I never got to see them play…and I never will. They decided to...
India - The Last Few Days of My Trip
I’M HOME! IN TEXAS! It feels like it’s been forever!
Anyway, I’m very well aware that I didn’t blog about the past few days I spent in India but there weren’t too many highlights because that time was mostly spent on taking care of family matters and doing just a bit of shopping around Hyderabad. But! Here’s one thing that’s been pressing on my mind for a...
India - Day Eleven
Flew back to Hyderabad from Chennai
Watched the movie Kites!! My sister and I have been dying to see this movie and we bought it and watched it in the hotel. I don’t think it’s out on dvd yet in the U.S. It’s a Bollywood film that stars Hrithik Roshan and a Mexican actress named Barbara Mori - my sister and I now think she is one of the most beautiful women on the planet (if...

On Love
Who are you to say another’s relationship is or isn’t the definition of “true” love? Who are you to write off someone else’s idea of love as “puppy love?” And who are you to say that two people are incapable of experiencing real love because in your eyes they’re just two people who are sickeningly promiscuous? What if for one woman, her definition of...
India - Days Eight, Nine, and Ten
Eight:
Saw THE most depressing Indian movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I never want to see it again. I don’t even remember what the name of it was. We went to a smaller theater in Hyderabad because the big one we usually go to was closed and the sound quality was kind of bad during the movie and sometimes it would even black out. But it was funny because every single time...

Day Five
Since we had arrived in Kerala at nighttime, I had no idea what it looked like during the day. I woke up at 6 am, looked out the window, and saw the fresh monsoon rain of Cochin settling on the beach water. So calm and so pretty.
After breakfast, I looked up places to go in Cochin and found Marine Drive, a strip of shops and restaurants not too far from the hotel. We talked to the...
“But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled after as...”
– One of my favorite quotations of all time and my favorite from Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, a book I’ve been reading lately and loving every second of it.
India - Days Three and Four
Three:
Spent the day in Jaipur visiting old palaces and walking around the grounds of the palace of the current royal family of Jaipur. Yes, they actually still have a royal family!
Saw the Water Palace - An old palace set in the middle of water - beautiful!
Was supposed to ride a camel/elephant but ran out of time. I really wanted to ride that camel! :[
Bought kings headdresses...
