Laughing At My Nightmare Nonprofit Update 1

Hello good people. If you've been following us from the very beginning or if you've read our previous posts, you'd remember me telling you about this guy with SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). Well, he's setting up a non-profit organization and he needs our help for spreading the word. Please watch the video and help out. Spread the cheer. Happy holidays!

 It's ironic how this post is inclined towards positivity, while the other posts are well, depressing.

I go to sleep every night wishing that I never see the next morning, but it never happens.

Yes. I'm a very depressing person. Deal with it. Why shouldn't I be depressed? I am very disappointed with my life. I was going to post this yesterday, but it was Christmas; I didn't want to sound like the Grinch or Scrooge.
My Christmas was very un-merry. And so is my life.

Everything would be so much better if life was a T.V. show or a book.

Seriously. I would gladly spend my life hunting things, or married to a hot NBA star. Who wouldn't want to hang out with Sam and Dean Winchester? They're badass. And hot. You think they worry about how you did in school or how much money you make in a year? No. They don't give a rat's ass about all that bullcrap.

This is our life: Getting up for work. Worrying about that deadline. Trying to pay those ridiculous bills that seem to be increasing by the minute. Trying to accomplish something in life, getting into a "respectable" career so that the society accepts you, because if you don't wear a tie, your job sucks.
This is Sam and Dean Winchester's life: Kill monsters. Look good. Keep your ass alive.

Now doesn't that sound better?

Its funny how precious every moment becomes when you realize they're limited.

Wow. I sound like I just found out I was going to die or something. Well, I didn't. Though I would like to. I mean, I would like to know when would die. Not that I was going to.

Anyway.

 Its weird, but despite everyone knowing that we're going to die some day, death is always unexpected. Its like the elephant in the room. I remember wondering how Brutus could be so calm on hearing of his wife's death in Julius Caesar. I think I understand now, what he meant when he said that by meditating upon her death, i.e., by understanding that one day she would die, he has found it easier to accept her death. No way have I reached that level of maturity yet, to be able practice that, but I do understand now, and I don't find him such a heartless jerk any more, which is an improvement I suppose. I just..I wish we knew when we were going to die. A cancer patient gets a prognosis, but spends her life miserable at the thought of death. If I knew when I was going to die, I wouldn't waste it being unhappy. I would do my best to enjoy what time I had, to live every moment to the fullest. To just live. That's what I meant by the title-at the endings, the farewells, the close of the chapters, the last days, that's when we begin to treasure every moment. Why? Why must we not care about something until its about to run out? I'm not just talking about life here, this goes everything from pie to oil. Why can't we treasure what we do have just as much as what we're about to lose? Why is the girl who plays hard to get more appealing than the best friend? Why are we so stupid? 




I just feel that if we had as much respect for life as we do for death, the world would be a much happier place.

Invisible Lines

There are so many invisible lines in our lives. That limit that separates a joke from an insult. That line after which we go from being a child to an adult, from being blissfully ignorant to understanding, to participating. From beginning to comprehend dirty jokes to making them. From understanding swear words to flinging them about. From licking the cream of the oreo to eating the whole thing. From being comforted by our mothers to comforting. From crying to bottling in. From using exclamations all the time to rarely using more than one. From typyng lyk ths to typing like this. From wishing you were grown up to wishing you weren't. From loving everyone to indifference. From sunshine to cynicism. All separated, but with such a hazy demarcation that you never even realize that there was a bridge, let alone know when exactly you crossed it.

Merry Christmas people, and its early because I don't think I'll ever have more Christmas spirit in me than I do right now.

Its that time of the year again! Already :-S But no, fears are not for today. So. Merry Christmas! *smiles widely, radiating Christmas cheer from every tooth* I hope you all find what you're looking for, and get what you deserve and more, and are happy. Thank you, once again, for being a huge part of my happiness, now and ever since you got here.

Love you all,
Us.


Well, me, mostly, but I'm pretty sure Malko agrees.


Here are some pictures for you.

This is a happy, content ball, my "joy to the world" picture.

This is a happy penguin.

This is just happiness.

And this is me right now.
Well, not literally, but, ya'know. Metaphorically speaking. If the sun was shining and I was that girl and someone was there to take a picture at that moment when I did that, if I did that.

Urine tests are so misogynistic.

Seriously. I bet a guy designed those. No woman would ever subject her fellow beings to such torment. If God meant us to aim, he would have made us that way, is all I'm saying.

 I'll stop now.

In other news, I'm still sick. Ergo rambling and urine and blood tests. (I am not scared of needles, okay? I just have an completely natural dislike of sharp pointy things poking into important veins. Or was that arteries? Ugh, tenth grade Bio. I knew I should've paid more attention.)

Anyway. What was I saying? Oh yeah. Sick. So much time on my hands. So I decided to fiddle with timeline because fever turns me into a facebook troll and I was getting bored with facebook the way it was right then. And..I liked it! I know Zuckerberg is kind of like a dictator sometimes, shoving all these changes down our throats whether we want them or not, but you gotta admit the man is a genius. Facebook seems new and interesting all over again, just when it was starting to get stale. Stalking yourself is such a novel experience! Though its painful seeing how dumb you were once-but then you again you can also see how not-dumb you (hopefully) are now, which dulls the sting a bit. And it looks so nice, after you've stared at it for five hours! 

...

I'm out of things to say but I don't want to go away. But I'm making a concentrated effort not to make a fool of myself when not absolutely necessary, so I'll sign off now. I leave you with this awesome song, and the advice to ignore the video unless you're one of those self-actualized people with no body issues/have a 23 inch waist-line.

~Sincerely hoping that was coherent, Sam. 

I use too many commas, don't I?

I love.

This is a throwback to this post, which reminded me of all the hate I had in me yesterday, and probably will have in me again tomorrow, but not today. Because today is for peace, and joy, and love.


I love today.

I love being sick. I love having an excuse to do nothing all day, but suddenly having no need for an excuse.

I love lazing around, stretched out on the grass; lying in the sun, soaking in the rays that well-meaning people had thrust upon me, saying that the sun would do me good.

I love chatting easily with old friends and new, having light, laughing conversations and connections, over everything and nothing.

I love reading the perfect book to match the perfect time-reading about a woman getting rid of her boring routine life for one of impulse and fun, just when I was doing the same, albeit in a smaller manner, without the one night stand or identity theft.

I love not having the energy to worry, the necessity to plan, the compulsion to think.

I love feeling floaty and pretty and beautiful, without anything having changed.

I love loving the day, the world, the universe, my life. I love shining benevolence on everyone and everything around me.

I love feeling needed and loved, accepted and accepting.

I love being able to write again. I love my thoughts exploding onto your screen in tiny grey characters.

I love smiling and laughing with every inch of me.

I love relaxing. I love feeling free.

I love life. 

I love the dreaminess, the effortless ease and perfection of today. I love the inherent peace, the total sense of rightness, calm, acceptance and bliss.

I love today. 

Its not perfect, but today it doesn't have to be.

An Epic Battle.

Okay, so if the decepticons and cute Japanese droids were two separate dance crews, and a battle-off between the two was held, the music played would sound something like THIS.

Sam's List of What's Hot and What's Snot About Superpowers

So I've decided to just pretend that all my work doesn't exist and waste hours online being an "internet troll", as a friend would put it. This post has been in my draft box for EVER, and tonight I decided to just get rid of it. As always, I hope you like it!


What's Hot and What's Snot About Various Superpowers: 

All the tele's:
Telekinesis: You don't have to move! Ever! What can be better than that?!
 Telepathy: You can transmit secret messages without the hassles of coding, decoding, and counter-coding, and the possibility of code-breaking. And you don't have to waste energy in talking, or worry about people overhearing you, or of being in hearing distance of each other. No phone bills or internet problems, just voices in your head.
Technopathy: It's defined as the ability to manipulate technology. Which, unless you're like Stephen Hawking or something, is something we all need help with. Ergo, it's an awesome superpower, one which I desperately wish I had. Imagine going, "Laptop! Unfreeze. NOW!" and actually having it respond instead of just sassing you with that annoying implacable face.

What's Snot: We'd all get really, really fat and then die.

Mind Reading: Do I even need to tell you how awesome this would be, especially for someone like me who can't read people very well?

What's Snot: Ignorance is bliss. I'd get to know a lot of things which I think I'd rather not know. Also, if people knew you were reading their mind while you were reading it, it probably wouldn't be too useful because they'd eventually learn to control their thoughts; if they didn't know, it'd be plain creepy because people might be reading my mind right now and I wouldn't even know it. But if I was the only one in the world with the power, then it would be perfect. (Yeah, I'm a hypocrite. Sue me.)

Super Strength: Meh. Don't really care about this one, though it would help me win a lot of fights, and get away with whatever I want, because most people don't really wanna mess with someone who looks like the Hulk.

What's Snot: I'd look like the Hulk. Even if I wasn't green, it's not the look a girl usually aspires for. If I could have it without the protruding muscles, it'd be acceptable I guess, though it's still not high on my list of awesome superpowers that I really, really want.

Predicting The Future: This would be both useful and annoying. Do I want to know I'm going to get an iPad for my birthday? Well, yes. But do I want to know that I'm going to get fired? Wait. Yes, I do. Never mind, forget specific examples. The general point is...

What's Snot: ...it would ruin the spontaneity of life, the surprises, the shocks, the twists and turns. Life would be one big anti-climax. Imagine if you knew that the movie would end happily ever after. Anticlimactic, right?
Though we know that anyway. And we watch it anyway. So..never mind, I don't know why this would be bad. Except I s'pose you'd forget to live in the present, and just count on the future.

Super Beauty: Do I need to say anything?

What's Snot: Most straight girls would hate you. (2015 edit: What was 2011 me even on?)

Super Speed: Honestly, I don't think there's a point in explaining the awesomeness of these; they're pretty obvious. Maybe I'll just stick with the what's snot bit. But..NEVER BEING LATE TO WORK! How awesome would that be?

What's Snot: Practical problems. Would your metabolism burn extra-fast too? Would you have to eat all the time? Would you be winded all the time? Would you feel like a snail and hate it if you had to walk at a normal pace, say, taking a long romantic walk with your boyfriend? Would everyone else also have super speed? In that case, wouldn't it just get negated? Important questions, those be.

Flying: Come on, everyone has dreamed of this one. Being able to just zoom over that traffic jam. Being able to see the bird's view without burning a hole in your pocket for a flight ticket and then being air-sick to top it all off. Being able to lift off whenever you want; having the peace of the sky's mausoleum all to yourself.

What's Snot: Superman, birds, planes, pollution, clouds, thunder, lightning and so on ruining your peace or banging into you. That weird dropping-feeling in your stomach. The possibility of air-sickness in mid-air and puking onto some poor girl below. Having to carry your significant other along for flights, which would be a problem if you didn't have Superman's super strength.

Invisibility: I'm sure this is what spies, detectives, sneaky teenagers and suspicious girls with cheating boyfriends dream of at night.

What's Snot: You're just invisible. You can still make noise. Also, being permanently invisible would suck;  being temporarily invisible would confront you with the teeny problem of what to do with your clothes. And you'd have to pay attention to your surroundings all time, else someone might just accidentally stab you with a knife. Also, you couldn't carry anything with you, ever.

Immortality: You have all the time in the world, you don't have to rush anywhere, ever again! And..I honestly don't know what. This one doesn't really appeal to me; a slightly elongated life would be fine because you'd have more time, which equals more fun, but living forever? Meh.

What's Snot: Boredom. Eventually not caring about anything, because its all transient and you'll outlive it all anyway. Also age=experience=cynicism, so you'd be an immortal who hates life, which doesn't really appeal to me.

Super Senses: Another one which doesn't appeal to me much (for the record, the ones I want most are the tele's, invisibility, mind reading and flying, not necessarily in that order). This might be useful to..hear the thief sneak in?

What's Snot:  Are you kidding me? What's not snot? You'd go crazy with all the noise and sights and smells and..touches? TMI taken to a whole new level. Do you really want to be able to hear the bodily functions of your neighbor?

Also, cracked.com has a similar-but-different list, which I found while 'researching' for this post and which you can find here.

p.s. I don't know how Sam will react to this.

Right here, Right now.

No Preaching.

Just a video which brings it home.

You can watch it from 2 minutes onward, if you get bored, though I personally found it nice.

In other news, WE HAVE LABELS NOW! They aren't complete yet, but it's a start!

Helloooo children.

I've always wanted to use that because I remember how epically awesome it sounded in FRIENDS when Chandler used it.
 
Anyhoo, this post is to notify to you good people that, I, from now on will proof read my posts and capitalize.
:P Hold on... *scrolls up to proof read* Done. *pats self on back*

Okay Imma leave now. Ciao.

This is malko saying maytheforcebewithyou.

Just an update.

As you can see, we've been trying out some new stuff with our blog. Apparently, when the workload becomes bigger, ideas pop into my head. :S Anyhoo, do check out the Hunger Games tab on top. We plan on doing a whole bunch of stuff like that, so if you have any special requests, feel free to tell us by commenting on this post!

current mood- USELESS.

Words

Nick and Joe Jonas sing "Music's in my soul, I can hear it everyday, every night, its the one thing on my mind." 

Well, for me, that line applies, but with words rather than music. If someone asked me what my soul was made of, it would be words. Don't get me wrong, I love music, but words are my thing, maybe because I can actually work with words when I am absolutely mediocre with anything related to music (seriously. I don't know my genres, I can barely read music and I can't play anything except the humble recorder. No, not the tape recorder. The recorder, which, I'd like you to know, happens to be a certified musical instrument. Which takes about a week to learn to play. But still. I can play something! Achievement!)

Anyways. Words. They are what my life is. Reading them, writing them, thinking them..they are always on my mind. We all use words, but..they mean more to me, somehow, than to your average girl on the street. Words are to me what a painting is to an artist, or a song to a musician, or a tool to a worker. They are what I work with, play with, live with. They are what I think with, feel with. I write in my head all the time, even if I promptly forget what I've "written" as soon as I find something to occupy myself with. I feel in words. I put everything around me, in words. I cannot read something without analyzing it in my head, editing it, complimenting it, enjoying it. I cannot write something without wanting to share it (ergo, blog), to know what others think of it (hint, hint), to make others think with it. To have someone love an article I wrote, is heaven for me. I think I write more for others than for myself. Does that make me superficial? Probably. Do I care? No. I like sharing the joy that I get out of it. I like having someone discuss what I wrote. I like changing a perspective, or bringing a smile, because of something that I produced. If I come up with a good idea, a good sentence, I have to share it, somewhere, somehow. If I write something, I have to make it perfect, or at least try to. If I read something and I don't like it, I have to try to make it right, even if only in my head. 

Words are important. They're a form of communication, and, more than that, a form of sharing, of including, of influencing. Words are humble, but powerful. Words are everything. 

~Sam 

And there goes my effort to try to be universal. *sigh*

This is the new shit.

Okay so i was supposed to be working, but instead, I ended up on our lovely blog. I thought it would look much more organized if each post was labelled with the respective authors names, so that it avoids confusion as to who's saying what. Sam doesnt know about this yet, so we'll just find out her reaction later on. :P

we'll still be using our old way of signing off..
 thisismalkosayingmaytheforcebewithyou

This post is (not)literally nothing.

I was going to write about God but then I couldn't because I was too busy doing other stuff for other people and because I'm sleepy and because my back hurts and because I have to go now. I was also going to write about Utopia, but then I got distracted by Justin Bieber interviews. (What? Don't go hatin' on the Bieber.)

So that is all for now. I will hopefully write tomorrow. I don't know if you care either way, I just wanted to post   something today.

Bye, I guess.

Random ramblings by a hate-filled person.

IM FUCKING FRUSTRATED. AND PISSED AND MAD. Why? Well, you see I'm sick of everyone and everything. It really doesn't help that no one is replying to my texts. They're probably genuinely busy, but from my side, i just see it as-not replying. and then I'm all, fuck everyone. I don't need anyone.(take no offence. I'm pissed and irrational at the moment and mad at myself.) Basically all this frustration began with the fact that I tried to be productive today, and I DIDNT DO JACK-fucking-SQUAT. And then there are people who are too fucking modest. I HATE MODEST PEOPLE. IF YOU'RE GOOD, JUST SAY IT GOD DAMN IT. "Dude I didn't do ANYTHING!" OH REALLY? THEN WHY DID YOU GET THAT PROMOTION, THAT A+ ON THAT TEST?
Why can't I get anything done? duhudddddddddddddddd*(PQ3 FHUI DSERYRYRYRYRYRYRYRY4HFEC TUHHHHH9WEWEWEhusdiiiii. That was a result of me banging my head on the keyboard.

Why Freedom is a Myth

I wrote this for something else, but I have't updated in a long time, so here you go. 

Liberty, equality and fraternity.  Perhaps one of the most famous phrases of our times, these ideals were to be granted to all in the Utopian world imagined by the French Revolutionaries.  Unfortunately, the world today is no utopia. Let’s take just the first of these great ideals for now-liberty. Freedom. Independence. We may have won the latter years ago, but mankind in general is yet to attain the former, at least according to me. Freedom is a wonderful ideal, but in the end, that’s all it is. An ideal. A myth. A dream. An unattainable dream. Having to finish that presentation for work when you don't really give a damn about what you're talking about. Having to study for that test tomorrow when all you want to do is sleep. Having to smile, and talk to that lady when you’re bored out of your mind. Having to choose a career, a stream of study, anything because that is what pays, and that is what “society” respects and expects. Having to think five times before buying that pretty diamond necklace. Having to pander to social mores when all you want to do is kick and scream and shout and scratch. Is this the liberty we all believe we have? Is this “the right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing", which is what thefreedictionary defines liberty as?  Is this freedom? To me, freedom is, more than anything, the gift of choice. The choice to do what you want, when you want and how you want; to live the way you want, and die the same way.  To not be tied down by responsibility, or work, or grades, or marks, or ties, or anything. To be free, of judgements and expectations; discontentment and distress; fear and facade. Unfortunately, that is, always has been and in all probability always will be, just a dream.

Dear phone-making companies,

I have nails. You know, those annoyingly delicate and stubbornly transparent things growing at the end of your fingers, which refuse to turn a nice white-natural-french-manicure-type-opaque despite your best efforts, and which you glower at every time you see friends with strong, healthy,  non-transparent nails? Yeah, those. You know how hard it is to make my finger tip touch my phone from under those? No, of course you don't, because if you did, you'd manufacture more effing nail-sensitive ("resistive" is the technical term, they tell me) touch phones! Please go back to the Stone Age and start making resistive phones again. I don't care if capacitive phones are more advanced or progressive or fancy. I just want to be able to use my nails. That's all. Is that too much to ask? 

~Thanking you and sincerely hoping you'll heed my request before I have to take more stringent action (like having to cut off my talons, or maybe just sharpen them on your heads), Sam. 

scrapbook making

 Birthdays. *sigh* I was really confused on what to get my friend, so i settled for a scrapbook. ITS HARD. :S HELPPP.

Inheritance

Note: Here, I will be speaking of both the Inheritance Cycle and the last book of the series, Inheritance. If you haven't read them, you probably won't understand this.


I know, I know. It's cliched and it's tediously descriptive, it brings nothing new to the table and we all know what the ending will be. The problems are all easily solvable, with no real struggle, nor does it make you emote like other series of the same genre. Each book is about five times longer than it should be, the style of writing doesn't do much to commend itself, and the plot is pretty much something a fifth grader would come up with. Evil powerful king vs young untested boy? *yawn* Been there, done that. I'm too old for such books, and should probably be reading deep shit like this, or even better, catching up on that whole backlog of work before someone kills me.

But. Despite all of that, I still love it. I know everything will end happily ever after, and that Christopher Paolini (probably) doesn't have the strength (or meanness) required to kill off major characters, unlike a certain author who shall remain unnamed (but really. Why DOBBY? Why, J K Rowling, WHY? I finally almost forgave you for Sirius, and then you had to go kill Fred and Dobby? How could you be so heartless! You're such a talented author, I'm sure you could have come up with a way to make the story just as interesting without killing everyone that garnered an ounce of sympathy from me. But no, you had to go and show the world that nothing could come in the way of the story, not even basic humanity.)

Anyway. Inheritance. So..I know that Eragon will find some magic way of solving every problem in the world, and that he and Arya will get together somehow, and that Galbatorix will be defeated and all of Alagaesia will be at peace, and everyone will live happily ever after. But I don't know how. And I want to know. I need to know. Whatever you say about Paolini's writing skill, he's made me want that, need that. And so I will buy the book, and read it, and defend it, and love it.

And you can laugh all you want.

~Sam

I'm not sure why I wrote this. I just had to get that out there.



UPDATE: So apparently I was wrong in some of my predictions. Which, trust you me, does nothing to help the book. I'd rather it had taken its predictable way to its predictable end, than what actually happened. 

Our Forefathers Were Wise

Finally some time to write! One of the few advantages of falling sick, I suppose.

Anyway. I was thinking the other day, the older I get, the more I realize that all those maxims we've been hearing since we were little children-knowledge is power, a bird in hand is better than two in the bush, etc, etc-they're all so true.

• Knowledge is power. The more dirt you have on someone, the easier it is to blackmail them into doing something for you, as my friends have demonstrated time and again. 
• Ignorance is bliss. You were perfectly content with your life until you saw that new Guess bag which just came out, and learned of its existence, and all of a sudden, the world became a darker place. Or until you found out about that surprise test or whatever. 
• A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, as Wormtail so wonderfully showed us. [If you don't get that reference, you don't deserve to be here. Or you could, you know, just comment and ask me to explain. Or just find yourself some time to read one of the greatest series ever written.]
• A penny saved is a penny earned. Which, in today's world, just translates to "A pound not gained is a pound lost", which everyone knows is the truth. 
• A golden key can open any door-is there anyone on this planet who can't be bribed somehow or the other into doing something? 
• A leopard cannot change its spots, and I'm yet to meet a reformed bitch (screw trying to be PG-13).
• Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as that mismatched couple living down any street can attest to. Also, why would he leave Jennifer to marry Angelina? Why, Brad, why?!  Ditto 'love is blind'. 
• You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. You can ground me, but you can't make me work. 
• When in Rome, do as Romans do. And don't wear miniskirts in the Middle East. (Again, no offence meant to anyone of any religion or faith. Just an example.)
• Two heads are better than one. Ever heard of the Hydra? Even today, the word is used for any un-resolvable problem. 
• Truth is stranger than fiction. THEY WERE MARRIED FOR 72 DAYS! SEVENTY. TWO. DAYS!
• There's an exception to every rule. Including sanity, apparently. 
• The female of the species is deadlier than the male. A line from a poem, and I have but one word to say to this-mosquitoes. 
• Make hay while the sun shines. And don't ask your mom for permission to go to that party when she's busy working, or is pissed at someone. 

I could go on like this forever, but I think I've made my point. Which is..sometimes, old people can be right. And lame-sounding stuff can be true.

The entire album of Within Temptation's album is brilliant. 

I annoy myself.

Yeah, so I annoy myself because one moment I think I'm awesome and I'm pretty happy with how I am...and the next thing you know, I have self esteem issues. Its a sign of bipolarism(is that a word?), I'm sure.

this is malko saying, maytheforcebewithyou

Right here, Right now

Currently listening to All Over You by The Spill Canvas. Currently obsessed with Karma Police by Radiohead and Just in Love by Joe Jonas(shocking, I know). Current mood- randomness.

My happy place.

Perfect music brings me great joy. I have never loved anything or anyone as much as I love music. It doesn't take sides and is impartial. Music is my haven and saving grace. Sometimes I wonder whether I'd be the same person as I am now, if music hadn't been in my life. It is the only thing that has the power to cause change. For those of you who don't know me very well, now would be a good time to tell you that I have pretty strong emotions. Even my friends stay away from me when I get mad. When I have my "Piss off or else I will use words to make you cry" moments, music is the ONLY thing that has the power to influence me. Ever feel like a song was written for you? Or do you get the feeling that the artist is singing to you? Yeah. It's the best feeling. Because it gives you hope that you're not the only one feeling like shit. It helps me believe that i am not alone. When I listen to a good song, I forget everything. Where I am, what's going on, and all the shit that going on. Hell, a bomb could diffuse and I wouldn't notice. Those of you who love music as much as I do,know exactly what I'm talking about. Those of you who don't really get it and think " It's music. What's the big deal?" I'm terribly sorry to tell you that you are missing out on something extremely beautiful(forgive me for being critical, but I have freedom of speech). Its never to late. Pick up some ear worthy tracks and give it a shot. Give music a shot. It can change your life. I know it changed mine. This is malko saying maytheforcebewithyou.

Sam is a second grader.

Note: Everything in bold is written by Sam. So this is 2 people talking to you, not 1 person talking to him/herself. Just so that's clear. 
Moving on..
Sam and I were on the phone for an HOUR trying to customize our blog. So comments would be nice (so that Sam doesn't go and change it. Again. For the millionth time). Also because now I think that it looks real pretty and all, but it doesn't really match our personalities. Its too..serene?.. for a bunch of crazy people like us. So now I'm all confused again, but I honestly can't spend another hour trying to figure this out. So please comment, and tell us what you like, and what you hate, and what you would change and which has been your favorite template/layout/skin so far. Oh, and while you're at it, your favorite posts and what sort of stuff you want us to blog about. AND I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE SO DON'T JUST COME AND LOOK AND PRETEND YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS AND TRY TO SNEAK AWAY WITHOUT COMMENTING!*sits back and looks hopefully at the screen, waiting for comments to magically appear* 


So earlier we (read: Malko) were (was) just saying that if both of us logged onto the same g mail account and chatted there (if it was possible{it wasn't possible}), it would seem as though it was a schizophrenic person was talking to himself. (What? Why are you looking at us like that?)


 Let me tell you this, she changes her mind a million times! And she has this weird thing where she thinks everything should match. Like a second grader. I (thankfully) have grown out of the habit of making everything match(and was smart enough to realize that making stuff match was completely foolish.  WE CANNOT HAVE JARRING, MIS-MATCH-ING COLOR SCHEMES! What is so second-grader-y about that? Its not like I said, "Lets make everything blue!" {Okay, maybe I did. But that's not the point.} I just wanted it to look pretty. Is that so bad? *looks pitiably at you with cute puppy dog eyes she would kill to have in real life* So by the end of the conversation, I just kept refreshing the blog page every time she changed something and checking whether I liked it or not, and each time I would answer "its fine" in a completely monotonous and bored tone. Then Sam would get all upset saying "This blog is our baby! How can you not be excited?" Imagine the condition of her real babies! :O
Like, hello! Forgive me for caring! Hmph!


 And it is our baby. We created it, didn't we? :(

Update from the future: I refuse to accept I ever wrote this.

This is why I wish I were a gay guy.

I try to see the good in life, But good things in life are hard to find. We'll blow it away, blow it away. Can we make this something good? Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.

hi!

I dont know how many of you actually pay attention to my Right Here Right Now posts, but i figured that if i don't have anything to write about, i might as well put it in music. Its what im best at anyway. Im hoping you enjoy the music as much as i do. ^_^

malko saying maythemusicalforcebewithyou

Right here, Right now.

currently listening to  DONT WANNA BE- GAVIN DEGRAW
current mood- depressed.
 malko saying maytheforcebewithyou

I am about to have a breakdown.

People tired of me ranting and raving and being depressed and PMS-y, go away. This is not for you.

People depressed and looking for someone to empathize with , read on.

So I woke up happy today, and I thought-"I've been moaning too much, I should really surprise them (as in, you. Yes you. You right there looking at this right now) with a happy post." So then I was sitting and thinking about how the sun is shining and the birds are singing and la di da di da-and then shit happened. (Doesn't it always?). And I know it happens to everyone, and that I'll be happy again tomorrow, and that I'm not the only sufferer in the world, and that there are people out there who are suffering more than am, but when have other people's sufferings ever made a difference to your own? I can't tell you what my suffering is because I'm trying to be anonymous and not get killed or kidnapped by some random stalker, and this is a pretty identity-related problem, but what I can tell you is..its all building up. All the stress and the tension and the worry and the bullshit. The expectations and the judgement. All of it. Like tears at the back of your eyes, and that cry-ey feeling in your throat, which doesn't go away because you don't let yourself cry, for whatever reason. But one day, those tears are gonna come out. And I'm going to cry. And I'm going to scream. And I'm going to bitch and argue and fight and be an extremely mean, rude, selfish person who does not Give A Damn. And I really hope that day comes soon, because then it'll all be okay. It'll all be out, and I'll be normal again, I'll be me again. The tears will be out, all my frustrations will be vented, and we can all live happily ever after and not have to contend with depressing posts from me ever again. Until the next time I PMS. But anyways.

 So here is me sincerely hoping that Breakdown happens, and happens SOON. Or that all the frustration building up within me disappears on its own, without needing a breakdown, like ice cream in the fridge or money in the bank.

~A Very Bleh, Sam


I really hope no one read this. I haven't proofread, or even cared about being coherent. But if you did, kudos to you! And to me, because I finally managed to say "kudos" xD


I'll go away now. 

I'm tired.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of people telling me how to live my life.
I'm tired of having to do something just because the world demands it, because "that's the way its done".
I'm tired of customs and traditions and religion and hypocrisy and manipulations.
I'm tired of not knowing what I want, but wanting it just the same.
I'm tired of not having time.
I'm tired of pretenses and facades, lies and deception and unkept promises.
I'm tired of judgement.
I'm tired of appeasing.
I'm tired of imperfection.
I'm tired of being so discontent.
I'm tired of having so much work and so little sleep. I'm tired of insomnia.
I'm tired of unfulfilled dreams and of losing my dreams, my 'religion', my friends, my family, my ties.
I'm tired of worrying, about the environment, about the world, about myself, my future, my family, my friends.
I'm tired of sympathizing and empathizing, of feeling guilty and hating myself.
I'm tired of sickness and colds and aches and split-ends.
I'm tired of being a coward.
I'm tired of all the things wrong with this stupid world, filled with these stupid people and their stupid words.
I'm tired of having to know things.
I'm tired of suffering and pain and death, misery and fear and desperation.
I'm tired of having to give in to the "system". I'm tired of having no other choice.
I'm tired of planning, of losing all spontaneity.
I'm tired of having to think twice.
I'm tired of questions.
I'm tired of expectations.
I'm tired of competing.
I'm tired of caring.
I'm tired of mood swings and depression.
I'm tired of drifting.
I'm tired of rules.
I'm tired of inequality.
I'm tired of hating, and haters.
I'm tired of this world.

I'm just..tired.

~A Still PMS-ing, Sam.

Why can't the world just go away?

Because honestly, it isn't that great a world. If every single human being on the planet died, I think it would be a much, much better place. Because the way we're living, we don't deserve to live. Whether it be the wild jungle, or the concrete one, its still survival of the fittest. We can call ourselves civilized and human as many times as we want, but the truth is, animals are probably a hell lot more "humane" than we are. At least they don't lie. At least they don't deceive. At least they're honest. Even if its a fox, or a coyote or a vulture, at least its honest about its dishonesty and cunning-ness. They live together or in isolation, help each other or eat their young, at least you know where you stand with them. They kill because they have to, survive on inter-dependence and cos-existence, we just..do whatever we want to, and try to (and do) get away with it. At least they're honest.We, on the other hand, are not. There is not a single person on the face of this planet whom you don't know absolutely intimately that you can trust. And sometimes, you can't even trust them. Most rapes and kidnaps take place with the help of "trusted" friends or family. We've created this beautiful facade, where we all pretend to be kind and generous and sympathetic and Christian in our behavior, but how many of us really are? We sit and we criticize and we cry and we preach about starving orphans in Africa; what do we do about it? We're divided by every single possible thing in this world. Race, religion, country, color, caste, creed, gender..name it, and its a divide among humans. We speak about environmental problems and go and print a dozen flyers. We hold summits and spend the entire time arguing over what other people should do, how much they should pay, rather than thinking of what we can do. We take the microscopic minority of a group, a nation, any group, any nation, and make them representative of the whole. A few obvious examples- a Muslim planned 9/11, ergo, all Muslims are secretly planning to kill you. The American government interfered where it shouldn't have, ergo all Americans are bad, selfish hypocrites. An Australian behaved in a racist way, ergo all Australians are racists.

Really? I mean, really? You could know my parents since their childhood, know them inside out, but you still wouldn't know me, because I'm a different person, an individual. And if my parents can't give you any insight into who I am, what I am, how the hell can you judge me on what one of a million of my countrymen did dozens of years ago?!

I don't claim to have answers. I don't claim to be perfect. I've never donated for Africa and I've judged people on a minute's meeting. I'm just as prejudiced and evil as the next person. All I know is-I don't think we ever grow up, or learn anything. Sure, we speak a little better, dress it all up a little better, and sure, the stakes are a lot higher, but in the end, we're all little five year olds. Fighting with a sibling over the remote, fighting with the Israelis for Jerusalem. Quarreling over who gets the bigger room, starting World War 2 for a little bit of land. Thinking your mom favors the other kid, thinking the world is conspiring against you. We're masters at victimizing ourselves, at putting up these beautiful facades to make everything seem the way we want it to seem.If Hitler had won, we'd probably accept that the Holocaust was brilliant just as we accept all the other trash fed to us today. Governments, politicians, the media. How do we trust any of them? How do we know who's bad, and who's good? Is anyone good? We're civilized, we're globalized, but in the end, its just each man for himself. You might sympathize over a friend's pain, but you'll cry over your own. You might give someone a buck, but you wouldn't mind stealing someone else's job to earn ten thousand. You might be nice, but you'll never be nicer to anyone more than yourself, not your wife, not your kids, not your mother. We're literally animals. And that is why we're humans. And that is why the world should end.



~A Very Disillusioned (and majorly incoherent, I'm sorry if I couldn't get my point across very well) Sam

PS- I attribute the above post entirely to PMS which got me disillusioned and depressed, and hearing about Jullian Assange's extradition-thing, which got me started on the whole, "How do we know even Assange isn't secretly a selfish rapist-liar?" train of thought, which led me to this.

Right here, Right now.

currently listening to party rock anthem -LMFAO

EVERYDAY IM SHUFFLIN'! *does the shuffle dance with diksha , nanya, raiya and the neetster*

malko saying maytheSHUFFLINforcebewithyou.

Just Wondering

How come when a girl's bra strap just peeks through she's a slut, but when a guy's underwear is blaring out 'cuz his pants are so low, he's cool?

~Sam

UPDATE from malko~ depends on the kind of people you know, the places you and how you project yourself. Where we live, people pretty much judge you. As far as i know, people think I'm arrogant and mean. well i guess that's kinda true. sometimes. But i can also be awesome. XD

Right here Right now.

Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, and...yeah, that's about it.

06-11-13: Update from future me: Some of this really made me wince, particularly the reference to Taylor Swift and the fact that I seemed to have a) forgotten about Africa and b) thought Europe consisted mainly of England.


Continuing with the Ten Day You challenge, which, for those of you who joined late, I started here, and continued here, here and here, here are six places I want to visit, five foods I like to eat, and four books, three films and two songs I love.

Six Places:

• Switzerland! With its mountains, and its beauty and its chocolate and its peace. 
• All of Europe, actually, now that I think of it, since that's about the only continent I haven't visited yet. Amsterdam, with..I'm not exactly sure what, but it still appeals to me. London, with its Tower, and its pigeons and crows and the London Eye and the Big Ben and the rain and the dreariness and the poshness and..and the accents, and the hot guys and the, well, everything. The rest of England, too, I really want to see what all these people talk about when they say "English countryside". And Scotland, of course, and France and Germany and Russia. Have I missed out any place? 
• Australia. I want the beautiful sky, the Outback, the Harbour Bridge, the Gold Coast, the City Cats on the Brisbane River with the wind on your face, and water underneath. I want everything. 
• South America, another place I've never been, with all its color and life and love and culture. 
• The Arctic, or any other place where I can see the Aurora. 
• Space, because it sounds SO COOL. Ditto the moon. 

Five Foods: 

• Chocolate. 'nuff said. 
• Also, pasta, in any sauce except white. And pizza and lasagne, of course.
• Indian food is awesome, too, especially scent-wise. Naan and kadai paneer and butter chicken and..ahh, my mouth is watering too much for me to continue :/
• SUBWAY! And McD's and KFC and all that shizz. Yeah, i'm a slave of capitalism. 
• Steamed lemon fish. And prawns, and chilli crab with buns in Malaysia. 

Four Books:
I can't list just four books. I can't. There have been way, way too many of them in my life for me to narrow the list down to four, so forgive me if this goes on forever. Anyway, here they are:

• To Kill A Mockingbird, because it was the first classic I read that I liked; because it gave me Atticus Finch, whom I might even love more than Hugh Jackman; because it made me think; and because it gave me hope. 
• The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, because its the last book I read and because its well written. 
• Enid Blyton's St Clare's series, and Malory Towers, because those were the first books I ever remember reading. 
• Anything, really, as long as it isn't too convoluted like some of those stupid prize winning books, or too depressing. 

Three Films:

• Wolverine, because it has Hugh Jackman, and is awesome, and it has romance and comedy and love and action and everything a soul could possibly need. Also, X-Men First Class, because mutants are hot. 
• Three Musketeers, because that's the last movie I saw. Oh, and the Pirates of the Caribbean series. 
• Any cute rom-com. Also, Life Is Beautiful, and all of those type of movies (the deep, eye-opening ones). Basically, anything with a compelling story line. 

See I how totally got more than three movies in there?

Two Songs:

• Again, it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to list just TWO songs, but I'll try. First-"She Will Be Loved", by Maroon 5. Listen to it. Don't watch the video, it'll ruin your experience. Just hear the lyrics and fall in love. Ditto anything by Taylor Swift, or any other mushy love song, really. Also, "Impossible" by Shonelle. 
• Um. Anything and everything by The Script. And most things by Simple Plan (Welcome To My Life, Perfect, and everything from their album "Get Your Heart On" come to mind most quickly). Songs which just match my mood perfectly. 

So now you know. Me. ^-^ Well, everything except my name, and my age, and my face, and where I live, and who I am. But yeah. Everything else. :)

~Sam

PS-For those of you who are tired of hearing about me, I'll get around to posting something more "universal" in appeal later. For those of you who are tired of hearing me say "later", go away, or get used to it. *attitude*

But, you know. Don't go away away. Later will come. Really. Soon. I'll do it. I promise! Don't go away! Come back! Please! PLEASE! *tears*

Real steel

I decided to post about this cuz I know  how much it would freak sam out. How awesome is the robot dance with the kid? Damn. Sexy movie. Awesome soundtrack too.

UPDATE: This is Sam. I hate you. All of you (who've seen the movie). And I will continue hating you until the earth stops revolving and the birds stop singing. Or at least until I watch the movie myself. So there.

So I got drunk yesterday, and I slept on the escalator. *sigh* the things people do when they get drunk I tell ya. -malko saying maytheforcebewithyou

Things I Possibly Have OCD About

This is not a very nice post, but I really don't care right now. I just want to get rid of it. Enjoy!

So here it is. I have compulsive needs to:

• Remove hair bands of the people standing in front of me.
• Not switch off my phone.
• Clean dirty spectacles, mine or anyone elses.
• Check fb notifications-ALL of them, even the ones completely unrelated to me where random people I've never heard of comment on an acquaintance's picture.
• Not allow my balance t to drop below a certain amount. And this is not like when its about to go into negatives and I lose it completely, its like when I still have a reasonable amount left, say 50 bucks, but a part of my soul still dies when it goes to 49. 
• Grammar grammar GRAMMAR. I am a grammar Nazi, despite showing evidence to the contrary in this post. 
• Editing things in my head. Even if you think its perfect, I will find errors, and I will correct them in my head, even if I don't point them out to you. 
• Listening to music every night, and making up stories about songs in my head. 
• Lying in bed for at least a little while and day-dreaming or something, before actually waking up. 
• Be hideously polite to all authority figures. Unless they majorly, MAJORLY piss me off. Then I'm all curt and indifferent. 
• Type whenever I have the opportunity.
• Use big words.
• Proof-read everything. Except this post.  
• Change the screen saver of the computer/laptop if I don't like it, even if it belongs to someone else. 
• Finish every book and series I begin. There've only been a couple in all my life that I've left incomplete, and you can imagine how bad they must've been for me to do that.
• Type how I think or talk. Even when I'm trying to save messages, I will text thoughts exactly how they come into my head, and not ct dwn or typ lyk ths. 
• Type complete words. (See above.) Try not to get pissed off when other people don't.
• Arranging things in a neat, linear manner, kind of like Monk. 

This list is just what I could think of now, and its really rough and horrible and I'll probably update it later when I have the time and inclination, but its been sitting in my drafts section for centuries now and I figured it was about time it saw the light of day. 

~Sam

Eight

Eight Fears.

1. That I'm not good enough. 
2. That I'll never be able to be completely happy. 
3. That I'll end up living a shitty life, and end up some bitchy Grinch. 
4. That the world will end. 
5. That the world won't end.
6. That I won't be able to fulfill my dreams, whatever they may be. 
7. That He (again, not talking about God) doesn't exist.
8. That He (talking about God this time) doesn't exist, and there's no point to this whole drama. Or that He does exist but still lets there be so much pain and suffering in this world. A girl who falls down. A woman murdered. An atom bomb dropped. Why would He let it happen?

Side note: This probably sounds depressing, and it is, but I'm not. These are just some random fears that I would usually never dwell on. Just for all my friends out there who'd probably freak out over this. ^-^ 

A hopefully happier post will come up as soon as I can think of a thing to write on.

~A Definitely Not Depressed, Sam

This Picture Is Awesome And Deserves A Whole Post To Itself

~Sam

A Few Of My Favorite Things

Pens that work. Unexpected hugs. A smile from a stranger. A satisfying article. A job well done. Orange juice. A hot choco-lava cake. Soft, warm cookies. Unexpected compliments. Any compliments! The scent of a bakery, the fragrance of impending rain and wet soil. Knowing things. Stumbling upon the perfect word to describe something, as opposed to having it on the tip of your tongue and not being able to remember it. When you vaguely wish for something, and it just happens. When the perfect song to match your mood starts playing. Good food. Chocolate food. Coconut biscuits. Pretty pictures and scenes. A fun holiday. A few hours with friends. Watching a child completely absorbed in doing some inconsequential thing. Pleasant surprises. A productive day. A day just spent lazing around. Catching up with old friends. A good, stimulating debate or conversation. Your favorite show coming on TV, just as your boredom peaks. A funny ad. Celebration. Pretty lights on houses. Presents! Palm trees and beaches, not necessarily in the same place. Discovering a new song, artiste, sitcom or book. Writing, reading, talking and listening. A happy story. Shopping, and stumbling across a pretty bag, or a hair clip, or the perfect outfit. When the sun is setting behind the blue curtains of my blue room and imparts that warm, dim glow. Being awake when no one else is. Peace. Neat work; a tidy, organized room. Rediscovering a favorite toy from your childhood that you'd forgotten all about. Making lists. A beautiful morning, welcome with a hot cup. Smiles and laughs and wit and humor and a pinch of sarcasm. Being surrounded by the people I love, when I love them. A banana split sundae. Toast with butter and jam. A slice of bread slathered with nutella. Biscuits soaked in tea. A hot, steaming cup of thick hot chocolate. Caramelized apples. Any apples! The smell of coffee and rain and flowers and sunshine. Pretty boquets with liles and orchids and little white and yellow rosebuds with dewdrops on them. An overflowing fruit basket, filled to the brim with mangoes and apples and bananas and oranges and strawberries and cherries and blueberries whatnot. Strawberries and cream and chocolate! Blueberry muffins. Being dressed up all prettily, with my hair done and my heels on and my dress just right. Losing a pound (or two). Setting a new high score. Opening my eyes in the morning with a smile on my face. Closing my eyes at night with a smile. A nice, long, hot bath, complete with scented candles and bubbles. Shutting my eyes and imagining and hoping and wishing and dreaming and fantasizing. Finding that thing, or a friend texting, just when you need it most. Sitting in a corner, or on a window-seat, and reading that perfect book while it pours outside. Slowly removing the outer layer of MnM's. Long, shapely nails. Making people laugh. Laughing. Melting chocolate in my mouth while the rest of it melts in my hand. Getting wet in the rain, provided my phone is safely dry. The euphoria after a satisfying run. The sun's rays shining on me on a mountain top. Snuggling in my warm bed on a winter morning. Cuddling with my mother. A baby's laugh. A child's innocent laugh. A baby's gurgle. The smell of petrol. Lying flat on my back after a long day. Massages! The color of newly mowed lemon grass, the color of the Australian sky over the Outback. Purple and magenta and crimson and black. Serendipity and Enchantment. Henna on my hands. A trouble-free day. My mom feeding me when I'm sick. Ganging up on my parents with my brother. Finally finishing that huge mound of work. Reminiscing old memories; rediscovering long-forgotten pictures. Raindrops on windows, and drawing on a dusty windscreen. Playing with connector pens. Designing something really pretty. The taste and smell of cinnamon. British accents!

And bluebells.

Walking in that.

~Sam

I had this really nice idea for a post, and i forgot. SEE? That's what happens when you don't write things down.

Ten

So I told you I wouldn't do Ten Secrets, and I won't, but here are Ten Things You Probably Didn't Know About Me Which May Or May Not Be Secrets.

1. I have never smoked, done drugs, or seen The Sound of Music, despite having owned the DVD since the fourth grade.  
2. I can be pretty philosophical when I want to, probably because I over-think everything, and over-thinking is practically the root of all philosophy. The worst thing about this though is that things which I say, which often console others, would never ever console me, because I'd just think about it until it became meaningless and lost all consoling-power. Which sucks.
3. I'm partly hedonistic. I know what hedonistic means because of Two and A Half Men.
4. I'm vaguely superstitious, but if you asked me if I believed in superstition I wouldn't know what to say, despite the fact that I still touch wood every chance I get. Essentially, I'm an extremely confused person.
5. I claim to love myself (and I do), but like every normal girl in this world (except the current Miss Universe, whom I really admire for her answer, despite the fact that I find it hard to believe that she actually meant what she said.)I have a complete list of things I'd like to change about myself, starting with my arms and going down to my hair. 
6. I once used to be an almost twi-hard *cringe*, and it took Dan Bergstein to get me out of my delusion. I also refused to read Harry Potter until the sixth grade, because the only part of it I'd ever read (Chapter One, Page One of Chamber of Secrets), seemed horrible. Eventually, I only read it because I'd read every other decent book in the library. I told you I sucked. 
7. I love music, and listen to it for at least half an hour every night, wandering around in the dark in my room, and making up stories behind each of the songs, but I still don't know my genres. 
8. I have a compulsive need to write down every single semi-smart thought that comes into my head; you'll be seeing proof this a lot, if you follow me. If I come up with a nice sentence while writing something, and even if it doesn't fit, I'll find a way to stick it in somewhere. 
9. To be able to read minds is my most desired super power. I'm an idiotically romantic girl. I really don't know what I want, whether it be for dinner or for a career. 
10.  I'm pretty forgetful and thus forced to write down anything important that I need to remember. On the other hand, I tend to remember a lot of insignificant details that other people have long forgotten. I'm pretty verbose, sometimes unnecessarily, as you can see from this blog post. I didn't really listen when they were discussing the "economy of words" in English. 

~Sam 

Nine

Hola there, pretty people! Its been so long since I've talked to you! Or maybe not very long at all--time seems to be moving so inconsistently these days. Anyhow, you might have noticed some changes on the blog recently, those are  because I was jobless and trying to make it Pretty and Appealing, but I didn't want one of those convoluted designs that look pretty and then end up giving you a headache, so I just chose this one, which has an added advantage of letting you pick which way you want to see the posts (i.e., in a classic, flipcard, magazine, mosaic, sidebar, snapshot or timeline format). Whoo, long sentence!

Anyways. I use "anyways" a lot, don't I? Oh well.

Getting to the point..today's Ten Day You Challenge Topic Thingamabobby is..

Nine Loves.

1. Friends, family, blah blah blah. You can fill this one in on your own, I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about. Your friends and your family, the ones who keep you going, the foundation of your skyscraper.You might occasionally want to murder them, but you will always love them.
   Getting down to the actual stuff now...
2. Books! I love a good book almost more than anything in this world; interrupting me when I'm engrossed in one is one of the many things that'll make me snap at you. Sitting on the floor in a nice cozy corner alone in my room, or maybe on a window seat while its raining outside, with a good book and a cup of steaming, thick hot chocolate is pretty much my idea of paradise. Simple girl, I is. 
3. Those perfect moments. The ones where everything is just right, where everything is Absolutely Perfect. You're not PMS-ing, no one else is hormonal or pissed off, the world seems to be covered in a soft sunlit glow and you're surrounded by the people you love, perfectly happy and content. It doesn't matter what you're doing or where you are, its just that inner peace that you're all feeling, all at the same time, so that life seems like a miracle and the world a heaven. 
4. Chocolate. Be it in the form of actual chocolate or in the form of ice cream, cake, brownies, or anything else for that matter, I adore it. Forget adore, I bloody well worship it! Chocolate has to be a sin--nothing can exist on this earth be that faultless. 
5. People. Those wonderful, wonderful people who make you think that maybe humanity doesn't suck after all. The ones's who will stop for that woman crying on the street. The ones who sacrifice, even if its only a little sacrifice, for others. The ones who're usually not known to us, and live their life in oblivion, but the ones who deserve more love than all the Jack Sparrows and Hugh Jackmans of the world combined.
   People. Those amazing people whom you can vent to and rant at and who will just take it all, and not hate you, and will listen. And, more importantly, keep it to themselves. 'Tis hard to find people like that in this world, yes sir it is. 
6. My phone. I'm sorry, you were probably expecting something more profound to follow that last point, but that thing is the reason I'm still sane. I would probably have killed myself a long time ago if I'd had to survive all those long nights of studying without its consoling and sympathetic presence. Also, Brickbreaker is probably the best distraction in the world. Seriously. 
7. Getting my own way (without being made to feel guilty about it-it doesn't matter if you beat up your little brother to get the remote control and watch Big Bang Theory or whatever, but feel guilty the entire time you're watching it). And no, don't look at me like that, I know you like this too. You can't be human and not like it. 
8. MUSIC! That wonderful, beautiful, haunting, heartbreaking, smile-making music which just conveys everything that you're feeling so eloquently, so beautifully, that you feel that it must have been written by you yourself in some other life, for how could any one know what you're feeling so precisely, so accurately. Music that opens up your mind to new vistas, new stories, new lives and new loves without making you move a step. Music that takes you farther than any airplane or spaceship ever could. Music that makes your life, a life. 
9. Myself, occasionally. And no, that does not make me a narcissist, even though narcissism literally means being in love with yourself. I do love myself, because I can't have lived with myself for so many years without doing that. Imagine spending your life with someone you don't love-its horrifying! And since I have to spend my entire life with myself, and since I'm not really into masochism, the least I could do is turn myself into a person that I love at least occasionally. 

~Sincerely Hoping That That Made Sense, Sam.

I suck.

I'm sorry, but its true. And the fact that its taken me this long to figure it out is just another tribute to my suckiness. If there was a kingdom for dorks, I'd probably be their Queen. Seriously. The one time I bunked a class, I was so freaked out that I'd get caught that I almost wet my pants. And I never bunked again. And this despite the fact that the "class" I bunked wasn't even a class as such, it was just some lame compulsory physical education thing, which I bunked accidentally (yes, THAT is how lame I am. The only time I bunk a class, its accidental). And you know how I made use of my precious illicit time? By doing homework. In the classroom. I didn't even have the sense to hide! And I was such a nerd that even when a teacher passed by, she didn't comment, because obviously Sam couldn't be bunking! How unthinkable!

Another reason I suck is because, as I learned today, I can't even ignore people properly. In fact, I suck so much that I can't even ignore the long enough for them to realize that they're being ignored! AND I CAN'T EVEN COMPLETE A MEASLY TEN DAY YOU CHALLENGE PUNCTUALLY! Or in order.

So now you know. I suck.


You'll still follow me though, right? *looks pitiably at you*

UPDATE: This post is not meant to be taken seriously. Its just something I remembered, and I wanted to share it because that's the whole point of this blog. Sharing random stuff which pops into my head. So please don't get worried and think that I'm suicidal or anything, because I'm not. I mean, I might suck, but I'm still awesome! ^-^

Seven

Hi! This is something I found on someone else's blog, and I found it interesting, so I'm going to do it. "This" is:

The Ten Day You challenge!

Okay, here's the thing. All of this sounds really interesting to me, but I love my anonymity (and the fact that you can't stereotype me or expect anything from me if you don't know me) here more than anything else, so I'm not going to be revealing any deep, dark secrets about me here, nor am I going to be putting up a picture of myself. Honestly, though, I'm not that interesting a person, so you're not missing out on anything by me not putting up my secrets. Also, since you'll get to know most of my "secrets" in some post or another, it seems kind of redundant to post them here, too.

Anyways. I will definitely do all the rest, but I'm just going to answer these as they take my fancy instead of in order,  because that's what awesome people do. Also, I can't really think of Nine Loves today, while I have my Wants all nice and ready. So yeah the one I'll be writing on today is Seven Wants, and Seven Wants for me are..

1. To become perfectly happy, content, rich and famous, in that order, within the next ten to fifteen years. Also, to find Perfect Guy within the same time period, since I obviously can't be either fully happy or fully content without him, and force him down the proverbial altar. (Side note: Am I the only person who finds it interesting that you sacrifice animals-or used to, anyways-and get married, both at the altar?)
2. To figure out what I really want to do with my life, and become amazing at it. Oh, and get rich doing it. 
3. To meet Mark Zuckerberg. Meeting Sergey Brin would be nice, too. You might be surprised that Hugh Jackman isn't on this list, but that's because I prefer the Hugh of my imagination (who is Perfect In Every Way). I don't want the real life Hugh breaking my bubble, since, as I've earlier mentioned, its impossible for any human to live up to the standards I've set for them in my head. 
4. To fall in love. Deep, true love. I know I said I wasn't desperate, and I'm not, but it seems like an amazing feeling from all the songs and the books that I've heard and I've read, and I really truly want to experience it before I turn old and withered and die. 
5. To figure out a way to stay thin without having to do anything. Oh, and to figure out the Meaning of Life. 
6. To learn to be content with what I have, and who I am. 
7. World Peace. *insert pause for snorts of laughter from audience* Seriously, though. I'd love for that to happen in my lifetime, or to even have a role in it, who knows. And by world peace I don't mean only the absence of wars, I mean peace. Complete, calm, peace. In every home, in every heart, in ever human. Without any troubles or wars or even arguments, without petty fights and hatred and annoyances. Total Joy. Bliss. Happiness. Fulfillment. Peace. 

These are not all my wants, not by a long shot-I also want to be able to read minds, have the power of telekinesis, have 48 hours in a day, not have to waste half my life sleeping, not have to do anything I don't want to, and a million other things-but these're the ones that first came to mind.

10 years later

When people ask me about my future, i would probably tell them how i plan to do law. Or if that doesn't work out, I'd get into business. But I secretly dream of getting away to someplace where no one will find me. Get a nice pretty cabin maybe? yeah. i think i could live like that. Sometimes it"s nice just to be left alone. I'll probably eventually get bored, but until then, i know it'll be beautiful. 

The cabin would probably look something like this.

Yeah so what would I do there? Well, i see myself working on my writing; perhaps a few books. Its a great place for inspiration don't you think? Its also romantic, so I'd probably get my lover here. If ever oh, oh ever there is one. 

Whoever said dreaming was a crime?

Then again, all this is just for theory. I have no clue whether it will actually work out. Then , again, one can never be too hopeful, right? *doubts herself* *sigh* oh well. Its a nice dream. 

A happier post from malko.

Yes yes, I know my last few posts have been, depressing and blah, but lucky for you guys, Im 30% happy right now.
I've decided to go ahead and use one of sams "writers block" topics from a previous post. But before I do that, I would like to send a message to a certain friend who texted me about our mutual love for LOTR. I couldn't text back because apparently I barred my outgoing. I don't know how to unbar it, so if anyone knows, feel free to enlighten me. Getting back to LOTR, isn't it awesome? Doesn't it give you that epic feeling? Its a total win I tell ya. Aragorns THE man. Best character I tell ya. I reallyyyy want to read the books(yes I haven't read them *breaks down*), but I can't find the time or patience. You need to be in the complete mood to read stuff like that.
Okay so now I will tell you guys about my days as an obsessed fan.
Ahem. *clears throat*

  A long long time ago, there lived an obsessed fan. Let's call her "obsessed fan", shall we? So a long long time ago there lived an obsessed fan known by the name obsessed fan. One day obsessed fan sat in front of her beloved computer to download some new music. Randomly she came across a band called Tokio Hotel. The moment she heard them she knew that there was something about them. They made magic, not music. Such was her belief. She would listen to them alll day. She would talk about them alll day. People got soooo sick of it.  She would also go on about how hot the lead guitarist was. Most people thought he looked like a chick. She then told them, "Hey! Germans happen to be very pretty people. And they have flawless skin!" Honestly speaking, his face looked so smooth that either he didn't have facial hair,or he waxes it off his face which would be plain weird. Anyhow, he was a twin. His twin brother was the lead singer of the band and he definitely looked like a chick. Most people thought he was gay, but she went on to protest that. So when their birthday arrived, she tried calling them too. She was heart broken they didn't respond. (ofcourse they wouldn't. They had a million fans. This girl was ridiculously out of her frikkin mind!)  She also kept visiting websites and requesting them to come to india. :/

But like everything, the obsession came to an end. And now, she doesn't even listen to them.

So why did I tellll you alll that bull crap? To show you just how obsessed a person can be. Well almost. The next level would be to become a groupie. :/

And there you go. A leaflet from the journal of an ex obsessed fan.

Crazy about guys? Who, me? No way!

Seriously. I'm not. Despite the fact that most of my posts are either completely about the phenomena we know as Men, or have at least some reference or other to them, I'm actually not as desperate as I sound. In fact, if Perfect Guy asked me out right this moment, I'd probably say no-I have way too much going on in my life for a relationship right now, and I've recently learned-vicariously, thankfully-that relationships aren't always all fun and games. And since I don't have the time to invest completely in a relationship right now, I wouldn't be able to ask Perfect Guy to, because that would just make me feel really, really ...mean, for lack of a better word. (The no-swearing-policy is because I'm still trying to keep this thing PG-13. God alone knows why, though, since most 13 year-olds I've met recently seem more  informed than I am).  So this post is basically just to let you know that if you're getting tired of my obsession with guys, I honestly, truly do have some other things I'd like to write about. They're just not as much fun as talking about guys.

Stay tuned though, I'll come up with something soon :) Maybe one of the topics from here?

I'm a girl! :O

Okay, so biologically speaking I've always been a girl, but I've never been a girl as such. Until now. Or rather, until a couple of years ago, I guess, but the realization struck me today. I'm a girl. My voice has become shriller and shriller. I talk about boys all the time. I've started caring about nail polish and make-up (which are two separate things according to me). Hell, I was discussing future kids' names yesterday!


Oh. My. God. I'm a girl.

~A Very Freaked Out, Sam. 

Why I think the world should end.

You know those people you see in movies or tv shows who are completely hopeless? The people that are so fucked up that they can't think straight? The people that pray for the world to end? I think they're overly dramatic and have a lot of shit to deal with. Unfortunately enough, I'm one of them. My grades are bad. My mind isn't stable. I feel like a pathetic waste of space because I waste all my time. I don't know how to do things right anymore. I lie. I laze around. I get angry. I yell at people. I guess the only thing left for me to do is do drugs and get a tattoo (i already have a few piercings.(and by few I mean 2 on each ear. :/ )). My parents think I'm hopeless. I don't think I blame them. My grades have been consistently low. I want to do better, but I don't. I can't.But still when your own parents say youre useless, it kinda hurts. I may not be a mushy feely person, but I do have a heart and its capable of hurting.
   I used to think that if I wanted to, I could always do better and that I chose not to work my ass off because I was just being a sloth. But I'm scared to find out the truth. What if my best isn't good enough? Four or five years ago, I KNEW for a fact that if I tried my best, I would be where I wanted to be. Now, not so sure.
   Sometimes I wonder, if I continued to be that boring person that I used to be in 7th or 8th grade,would I be doing better? Did things like music and popularity get to my head? Can I ever be that smart person that I used to be?
All of this may seem like a whole bunch of cliche bull crap. Trust me, it is. But stuff like this does happen. It may not seem like a big deal to others, but to people who're facing it, it ain't no joyride.
   So, I strongly want the world to end. But I don't want to die without doing the things I've always wanted to do..but thats for another time. I'm done venting now. For those of you who actually read this and made it to the end, congratulations. No, seriously, you deserve it.

So long people...this is MAlko saying maytheforcebewithyou.

I want Him.

-[2014 me is laughing so hard at this right now. So dramatic, wow.] [2015 edit: No, really, what was I on?]-

I NEED Him. And no, I'm not talking about God, though a few more blessings here and there from Him wouldn't go unwanted either. Is that grammatically correct? Probably not. Do I care? No. I don't even care about the fact that I don't care, that's how far gone I am right now.

I need him. My perfect guy. My hot boyfriend, though I want him to be a lot more than just a hot boyfriend that I can brag about. My soul mate, maybe? My love. The one who makes all my troubles go away, if only for a little while. The one who'll be my treasure, my "precious", my anchor, my harbor, my world. The one who'll make me laugh when I know I'm about to cry, a la Taylor Swift in "You Belong With Me", the one who'll lend me his shoulder and his handkerchief without asking for anything when I do cry, the one who'll love me despite the sniffles and the snot and despite all my faults and neediness. The ark that I can come into after a long hard annoying plain pissing off day (which today has been, in case you hadn't noticed). The one who'll hold me and love me and nurture me and complete me make me so much more than me. The one who belongs with me. The one I can spend the rest of my life with, and no, I do not give a damn if humans are sociologically not created to be monogamous. The one I can rant at and bitch in front of, without him thinking any less of me, because no matter how much you try to unbitch yourself there are certain people who're just begging for someone to bitch about them, who insist on coming in your way no matter how much you try to avoid them, who insist on making you break your promise to, well, to unbitch yourself, who force themselves under your skin and make you want to just tear out your hair (or, alternatively, to punch them) and get them out of your system.

The one who'll be there, all day, every day, perfect and sane, the beach to my ocean, the bank to my river. With dimples ^-^ And I know he probably doesn't exist, and I'm setting the standard too high, and I should just  get used to the fact that no one, NO ONE, can be that perfect, but right now, I just need hope. And even if he only exists in my imagination for my entire life, I will still hope that he's out there, somewhere (only I hope I find him before I marry Mr Second Choice, cuz I really don't wanna cheat on and/or divorce anyone).

~A Slightly-Less-Exasperated Sam

Also, I don't know if anyone is reading this besides moronsorginally (who, by the way, I will always love and remember as being my first real comment-or), but thanks a lot. Also, Malko, for the idea to start a blog, because it's nice to have someone to rant at, even if it's only a blank page. Thank you, love you, and God bless you. And now I sound old. *sigh* 

Malko's List of Whats Hot and Whats Snot about dudes.Part 1.

I think I'm making this list so I can understand what I think is hot. I never really thought about it. But....I'm making this list...so let's see....
Hair
Whats Hot>it has to be short. Like not crew cut short-although that seems hot too- but short enough that the hair stands up.
Watch out. I think my "Whats Snot" is larger. :/
Whats Snot> I don't care how long he spends in front of a mirror, preferably not much time.toooo much time is kind of a nono. Greasy. Bleh. A little gel is okay...but too much is gross. I dont want a blob of goo when I touch his hair. Most importantly. If long hair does not go with the face, he must lose it. :/

Hands 
What's hot> big hands. YeH. That's a Definate turn on. And nerves popping out is super sexy. Accompany that with a hot metal strap watchband I'd hit that. ;)
What's snot> sickly thin voldemort like hands with dirty nails. Glack. Hygiene dude!


 Physique
What's hot> a decent body that's well maintained and fit. I don't need six packs or anything, but he must keep fit and work out.
What's snot> Gangly thin guys. When people look at us, I dont want them to think that I'd break him in bed. Gah! Yeah. Definitely not.

 Style 
What's hot>Casualality. I'm not into the guys who like to accessorize themselves too much. They should natually be able to carry anything off. My ideal guy would wear really loose shirts with faded jeans and probably a nice pair of basketball pumps. Then when he wears formals occasionally, I can drool al over him.
What's snot> Tight jeans and tight shirts. No matter how muscly he is, he must NOT wear tight, body hugging shirts. Oh and when he wears formal shirts(which is super hot) he must not leave too many buttons open. It looks gay.


Talents>Me, being a musician, i dont want to end up with one, otherwise, instead of appreciating me, he'll probably just notice my errors and try to point them out. I hate it when people do that. i guess I'm kind of a hypocrite in that manner. I tend to correct people. Bad habit of mine. Trying to lose it. honestly. Moving on, he shouldd preferably be a basketball player. A musician and basketball player go nicely don't you think? Maybe I just believe in NALEY way too much( One tree hill reference). Also, if he's a basketball player and  a closet writer or a pianist, he just topped my list.


 There's more... So stay tuned. NOTE: yes I've been invisible for a while.. Was kinda busy..and the obsession phases are also unfinished. I do realize. My apologies non existent followers( wait does this mean I'm talking to myself? Great now I'm schizophrenic. *adds to list of disorders*)...thhhhhats about it. For now.
