So Anyway

Right. So now I'm going to get to the things that matter/ the things that most people blog about.

Family, Friends, Boy(s) of Interest, Weekends ;), School and Philosophy/ Religion (?)

Family:

My family is basically amazing. My parents are just hitting their 50s and my brother is 4 years and a couple days older than me (24). My parents are originally from Calcutta, India- making me Bengali/ Indian. I was born in Kansas and have lived in the US my whole life, making me an Indian American :). (Not an American Indian =P)

My parents both have Ph.Ds and my brother is a biomedical engineer. Clearly we're a science driven family. I LOVE it.

Yea we fight like any other family - I recently got a call from my brother.

Him: Did you take my Om Shanti Om dvd?
Me: yes.
Him: did you ask to take it?
me: no...
him: do you realize the problem with that?
me: so, how are you doing?!
him: the problem with that is that you've lost so many of my dvd's that now i think you should write down which ones you take. okay?
me: okay.
him: how is everything?
blah blah blah

I'm jk. That's not even a fight. Regardless, we hurt each other sometimes but really that's only cause we care.

Friends:

I have a lot of friends that don't like each other... More on that tomorrow..

Boy(s) of Interest:

Currently that heading should be "boys"

Let's call one Matt and the other Fruitcake.

Matt: Matt is about 6 months younger which makes him a year in school younger. NOT OKAY WITH THAT. Also. He doesn't really return texts. We don't go to the same college but whenever I'm about to go on a break he ends up calling or texting something like "we should hang out!" or "when are you home?" This is NOT a picnic. Idiot.

We hang out a lot when I'm home. Since we don't have very many mutual friends it's usually just me and him. He pays for my food at restaurants. He took me to a football game. I don't even know. I think he appreciates my company but assumes he's friend-zoned. I don't usually let my guy friends pay for my food. He insisted!! Either he's just a social fail or he's only interested in having a fling.
I date. I do not do flings...

Fruitcake: AWOFH;JNCJOWIWEIFAASDK I hate this guy. I hate myself for liking him. I'm convinced he's actually my soul mate though. He goes to the college that I transferred from. Apparently he has said that if I still went there then he would have dated me. I HATE him. Really!??!?! Why would you tell MY friends that?! That's just CONFUSING as hell. I'm not about to do the long distance thing.

However... He's visiting this summer... qwfaskjfajiwjijiaijweaji. fml.

This Weekend:

Well. This weekend I went to a 21st Birthday Party at which all 3 guys who showed up were MADLY in lust with one of my friends. It was actually really awkward. We walked to another house for like 5 minutes and all three of them came rushing out looking for her. Specifically just for her.... Not the like.. 3 other people I had taken with me.
I was sad. I mean... of course she's gorgeous (I'm not friends with uglies). I just need attention when I'm drunk. It's not like I would've let anything happen. I just appreciate being appreciated.

School:

It's Finals Week. Thus the obsession with blogging... It's good stress relief.

Philosophy/ Religion:

I was raised Hindu. Honestly, I agree with the philosophy of the religion as a whole. My dad told me a story when I was little.

Once there was a frog in a well. The frog was so pleased with his place that he bragged to a frog who was passing by. "Look at how far I can jump!" he said to the stranger as he jumped from side to side. The stranger laughed at the contained frog, knowing that he would never be able to get out of the deep well.

I don't really get it either. The point was. I believe that all gods are one and that "God" is essentially the good in everything. I don't believe in fate or praying everyday. I believe in a more subtle and constant gratefulness.
