I’m not a big horoscope reader but….couldn’t resist. :)
Year 2010 Overview
A lot of last year’s difficulties, if you think about it, boiled down to a lot of fiddly little details getting in the way of you realizing your dreams. Let’s be honest about it, Aries: struggling with the small stuff just isn’t your style. In the next year, you’ll find that a lot...
When I think of....I know....Blah blah blahhhh
I’m sick of writing essays! i mean some are fun to write, but I’m afraid my execution will come off as forced, or stupid, or irrelevant, or confusing, or just plain weird! AHHHH i gotta do this! and i gotta do it well.
Sorry about the 7-minute nap. :P
“Love implies being cared for, being appreciated, being noticed, being thought...”

I hate it when I yell at my little sister. All my frustration about something is releases, unfortunately unto her, because often she’s very relentless. And that makes me feel like a piece of horse crap. Complete crap. I need to learn how to control this temper. And chillax a bit. I don’t want to become a stranger to people who love me. I’m sorry, Las.
“When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no...”

yes.
This piece was presented as Kurt Vonnegut’s commencement address at MIT in 1997. It’s great stuff, but apparently it wasn’t written or delivered by Vonnegut. It’s still a beautiful piece…

care-in:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more...

UGH. MY PARENTS DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT.
my mom, in india this summer, asked every male bachelor if he was a “suitable husband” or something i guess. she told me that this was for our other cousin who apparently needed to get married. my mom is such a blabbermouth.
now my dad comes back from india, and he’s asking me why people think...
Americanized India?
My mom: So where did you guys go?
My Uncle: I took him (my 9-year-old cousin) to McDonald's. He loves that place!
My mom: Really? McDonald's! What do you get there?
Uncle: You can get a kid's meal, and it's an aloo tikka burger. He actually really only likes the toy. I asked him if he wanted to go to KFC but he decided to stick with being a vegetarian, why experiment?
Wow. I guess it's nothing new, but the feel of India is slowly leaving with it becoming more "developed". It's good for them, but bad for memories.
my mother lost my cell phone. and it’s obviously my fault.
I miss being good at SOMETHING. I don’t have anything that I am solid at because I’m trying to focus on so much crap at the same time. It makes me mad. I remember when I’d actually get complimented for my writing instead of pen marks all over the paper, and comments like, “Focus” and “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Revise.” What...
It's a hybrid.

Dear...
Perur Thata. Today is your funeral. I hope you are enjoying heaven!
I never knew that much about you. As Aloka’s grandfather, you were always the man who was there to talk to and ask how you were and if you had eaten. There was always a language barrier haha. But you always asked how I and my family were doing, and how school was going. I really respected you. I always wanted to Aloka to...

Kathleen: Ok tell us who's right. is it pronounced "moo" because that's how she says it, or is it "mew"?
Amy's Dad (sheepishly): It's "mew", hate to say it.
Me: Really? Because I've heard so many people say it "moo"!
Amy's Dad: Well you could say it, but we scientists use "mew".
Me: Oh dang it. I like "moo".
Amy's Dad: Gosh, I really want to say something about sacred cows, but onto physics!
