Monday.. back to work. I was thinking of calling in sick, but decided to use that card for when I really need to. This blasted flu can be a blessing and a curse.

The wkend was good.. I enjoyed it. I went for month end drinks and got drunk on 4 shots of vodka and lemonade. It was great to get drunk, stoopid of me to drive back drunk (Kerry followed me and I was talking to myself the whole time.. “be careful, slow down, watch if there is traffic coming, be careful, be careful, be careful..”), so relieving to have the timeout I was looking for. Did I mention it was great to be drunk??

Saturday’s dance practice at Anu’s place was kewl.. we finally had our steps in order. Uncle taped one of our performances.. there is something weird about the way I look.. I mean my features.. Its almost like I am just not used to it. And my movements are too small as usual. Must work on making more noticeable movements.

Sunday practice was interesting.. Nischy took over as host.. I wont complain.. especially since Nischy volunteered my house and brought most of the food! Everyone commented on how thin I was.. I spent a lot of time sucking in my stomach! Must work on ab muscles.

A touching moment was when Da G helped me clean up.. I did try and stop him.. half-heartedly.. but I knew I would end up washing the stuff myself so I welcomed his help. It was very naice to chat over the dirty dishes and soapy water. There were time I thought he was seriously hitting on me.. with his ‘hints’ about every guy loving oppemauve and poote.. and how I should learn to cook them. But then I realised.. this was G.. and it was probs his way of being G. Unfortunately.. not the G I am looking for.. but Da G deserves a mention. So Da G.. thanks so much.. u da *star*!

I are going home now.. freaking flu pissing me off and giving me half a day off.

Jim finally managed to convince me to have a lookie at the orkut network. Ajay did not have much luck back then, cos all I did was to add him as a friend and that was it.

Now I have updated my profile, added a pic (either my ears or the pic I found from Leah's flickr collection).

Its such a mission trying to keep one person from finding details about me while letting another person know who I am..

I was looking through some profiles and I found someone I used to have a crush on. I think he was my first non-dream guy. Anyways, I obviously dont remember what he looked like at that time cos now he has a brick-face. Aish..

Methinks I am over the urge to see H again. Dunno why. Maybe I am just so over mallus.

I are going to be getting my hair cut this wkend. We will see how different I can make it!

The Onam bug has bitten..

Googling is a favourite pastime of mine. Here is a notable gem I found that I particularly liked. Those who know me wont need to have the significance of it explained.

There is a saying in Malayalam that "Kanam Vittu Onam Unnanam" which means "We should have the Thiruonam lunch even if we have to sell all our properties" - A site on Tamil festivals

I was thinking of letting Anuscha know about this quote..

I realize that my blog is getting so emotional it might decide it would want to go for counselling soon. It needs a good dose of what happening and less of whats feeling.

I had lunch with W, C and M on Wednesday. It was very relaxing, but because we havent discussed the ‘incident’, we were dodging around certain topics and certain people. I thought I heard a definite pause after W mentioned TC’s name. And there was my heads up when M said something about H. Now, it could be that H or it could be a random H, but there was still a jerk of recognition from me.

I have been singing a lot when driving Rogue. Everywhere I go - Nischy’s place, home, shooting and even work! I also need to get Rogue repainted where I scratched her and I need to get her speakers fixed. Its somewhere on my to-do list…

Also on my to-do list is to phone the counselling people and make an appointment. I do hope their offices are somewhere nearby, cos I dont feel like driving into the bundoos in search of solutions to my life problems.

I guess Appy and Amma are trying to talk to me and maybe even listen, but I have no fucking idea how to learn to lowwe myself.

Wagowski and the rest of the NML gang are here in Joburg – they are doing a collaboraton with the Sunday Times to cover the 2010 build-up. I have this mental image of myself sitting like a serene granny, talking about the good old days (last year!) and the fun we had with our Joburg coverage on Creative Commons.

Wagowski said they are going out tonight. I would really like to go with them, but I know Pramod is going to get into a stroppy fit and I dont want to go there.

All hail the bottle of wine that doth keep me company tonight.

I took a 2 hour lunch break to have lunch with Zelda outside Rosie’s office, and to visit the Pick n Pay for a bottle of wine and a bag of onions. I also got my ears pierced. This is the 4th hole. I took a photo with my phone – will try and load it up soon. My ears are red and ouch, but it looks great :)
