Loose Ends

“Oh I really wanted that thing
I just want to sing
I love you baby
Won't you bring
All the flowers you
Find out in the garden
Don't tell me the truth
That your heart has hardened.”

So, this friend of mine started dating this guy a couple of days ago. A couple of them hooked up four months ago, and two months ago respectively. Another has had six boyfriends in the six months that I’ve known her. And this other girl…screw this.

What I mean is, quite a few of my friends have started dating.

What’s the one thing that is common to all of them..?

They’re all in love.

The mushy type, where they go all googly eyed, and start passing lame ass cheesy comments, then start turning up w/ hickeys after going missing for quite a certain period of time.

I mean, I get it. You’re 19, and you have needs.

Or possibly, enough sexual energy to power a small Midwestern town.

Get it out.

I also want to be in love.

The actual thing.

Say “I love You” and mean it.

Contrary to the beliefs of a couple of friends, I don’t need a fling. I can do w/out one.

This is why I shouldn’t read romance novels.

And I want erokom Love Story. Booth-Brennan type.

I like couples that leave everyone guessing.

Cookies and Ice cream anyone..?

Bringing out the Wild in You..

A lot happened this week end..

Swarnakutika turned 19..

and Rani Salkant chose her to-be husband..

And one of the most unthinkable events took place..

My friend Anandi Roop unleashed her inner animal..

I always thought the 'inner bad girl' was one of the most cliched sayings ever. Having studied in an all girls school for the last 14 years, I've seen good girls stay good, bad girls stay bad..and girls who are both good and bad..

*Yes, they exist..they're just smart enough and never get caught*

So, basically, my friend brought out her wild side and tore into a piece of chocolate with an energy so feral that it left the rest of us gaping at her..

*this is the girl who is scared of animals..ALL animals..even cats*

Needless to say her boyfriend didn't mind..he enjoyed her inner animal and commented that he was responsible for it..Our respect for Aussie Brajagopal has subsequently gone up really high..I didn't know a boy could bring about such change in my friends, especially Anandi, who was such a goofy 'lil kid..

Another very 'important' day passed us by..

Friendship Day..

A bit of an ironic day for me..considering one of my oldest friends has forgotten our friendship..

but I made new friends..amazing ones too..as well as renewed my friendship with another friend..

So,

to Swarnakutika- Happy Birthday..!

to Anandi- Keep the Wild alive..!

to Aussie- Dude..wtf man..?

to Rani- jug jug jiyo..phulo phalo..

to the rest of the world- Happy Friendship Week..!

*the names have been changed on request*
