WHEW!! My exams almost over and I’m already planning lots of fun like its the summer holidays! But I”m really really happy! This has been a really long week with all sorts of terrible events (major example- STUDYING) but now, its going to get over, so with the king of terror out of the way, let’s talk about something interesting. Like the fact that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is releasing this year on November 21st (squeals, dances around the room singing the Harry Potter theme in an off-key voice, then gets back to the computer)!! I really can’t wait for it, and everyone around me, the non-Harry Potter fans, (yes, a few years ago, I was so crazy about Harry Potter that, to me, the world was divided into Harry Potter fans and non- Harry Potter fans) are already sick and tired of screaming in joy whenever I hear anything remotely similar to any character or object in Harry Potter. Right now, I’m listening to Bring me to Life- Evanescence. I think I’v mentioned it before. It’s a rocking song but if you’re the kind of person who likes songs about rainbows and happy endings (I like these too, but I like other genres too!) ONLY, then don’t even try hearing this song! The lyrics are a bit depressing and the tune is mournful. But I love the song and its lyrics, and since posting the song is a long and boring process, I’m just going to post the lyrics

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

now that I know what I’m without
you can’t just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside,

 

without your touch,

 without your love,

 darling only you are the life among the deadAll this time I can’t believe I couldn’t see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
don’t let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

 

(sigh) This song is so great! I can’t believe people say it’s too “depressing for” their “liking”. Okay, gotta go now, I’ll drop in later to bore you with more tales of my boredom!

I’m so bored, and I have this tension gnawing away at me. Tomorrow is the day of the King of terror- my social exam. I’ll be really glad when its over, that’s for sure. And I just realised, today, the day before the terror is quatorzième juillet (14th July), the French Independence day! Don’t ask me why this is so significant, I have no idea… Just another of my random ramblings I guess… OR maybe I’m gonna leave for a vacation in France. TODAY!! And, regretfully (NOT!) I’m going to have to miss my social exam (yay!) Just two words for that thought- I WISH!!! But hey, a girl can dream! And, according to Priyanka (my best friend) I seem to do that a lot… I didn’t even notice it till she told me and didn’t even believe her later, but then she started pointing it out to me. Turns out I have these moments when I just stare into space thinking of “God knows what”. Anyway, I enjoy them!! And, as a great person (yes, I have no idea who) said, “
Reality is for those with no imagination.” I really love this quote.. Actually, I love most quotes, another being “When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a hundred reasons to smile.” Okay, okay, I’ll stop now. Maybe a last one? To conclude this entry maybe?

“You laugh at me because I’m different. I laugh at you because you’re all the same.”

PS. I just HATE pink!

 

 

Curse the guy who invented exams!!! I’m really going mad learning for these Sources of evil (ok, maybe too much of Charmed there)!! I really shouldn’t be online right now.. I should be studying. Nah, I’ll start at 2. I think I’m gonna go mad with these exams!! Then I’ll be taken to those Rehab sorta places in books.. the ones with the dark endless corridors and evil nurses with no means of escape. Away from boring exams, I got an awesome new song from a friend, Kiss from a rose- Seal. Its really good, with a good lyrics and an awesome tune. This shows, contrary to popular belief, I do not JUST listen to dark, depressed music (though I do sometimes, but NOT always!!). I was checking out my earlier posts, and I realised, I DO moan a lot… but it’s fun . Oh gosh this song is making me go crazy its so awesome!! This is the 8th time I’m listening to it, and I’m still not bored!! The last time I liked a song this much was Livin La Vida Loca- Ricky Martin. Believe me, my family didn’t enjoy it. Because it kept being played non stop at huge volume for the entire day. And I think this one is gonna too. In fact, this is better than Livin La Vida Loca!! Okay now I gotta go have my lunch… then I have to study for the king of terror Will write again later!

Today wasn’t very interesting at first, but the day turned out to be really good. Know why? Because I’m finally in British Council! Let me explain. British Council is this library I had joined 2 years ago and have rarely had a chance to visit it since. But today, I found out that mom and Binaifer (that’s my sis) were planning to visit, and I was going too!!! So here I am! Right now I’m sitting on one of the library’s computers. On my left, is a guy who’s checking out some boring website on ads or something. A guy just sat on my right, and he’s taken books-all NON FICTION!! I wonder how people can borrow non fiction when they have fiction all around them!!!!!! Anyway, I for one went crazy today and got 7 books (ALL fiction!) and 2 dvds (yes, this place has got those too!!!) Mom must be getting bored already (she gets real sleepy  when we enter this library.. yeah I know… how can we be related!!??) but I’m not leaving this place for atleast 2 more hours!!! Oh, I can’t believe I almost forgot!! I got a new computer at home!!! It’s absolutely gorgeous and I just can’t stop drooling over it!! LCD screen, Wireless mouse, HP Gaming package with 50 games, you name it, it’s got it!! BUt, sadly, I haven’t got time to sit on my comp as I’ve been busy studying. Yeah, you read it right. Studying. YES, ME!!  I AM in 9th you know… Just a year for the boards.. I can’t believe it! My class and me are growing up so fast!!! But I guess there’ll always be a part of us that’s still in the 2nd grade. For instance, Priyanka (my best friend, I think I’ve mentioned her before) still can’t go to sleep without her dad in the house, and I still can’t sleep without hugging Dokey (that’s my stuffed donkey.. Shhhhh!) Alright I think I’m going to stop blogging and surf a little.. think my session is getting over..

Sorry I haven’t written in a while, and for a change, I’m not here to moan about how boring my life is (just a bit:)  Anyway, school’s just reopened and I’m not sure whether I like it or not… the teachers seem really serious, not the jolly kind we had last year and the years before that. I guess it has something to do with the fact that we’re the 9th right now… just a year away from the boards. That logic is twisted according to me, because if we’re going to be writing these huge exams next year, the teachers should relieve some of our tension, not ADD TO IT! Anyways, coming away from studies, I’ve found these really cool games on Facebook which involve Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies and Slayers!

Sorry I haven’t posted for a looong time (15 days, exactly). I had the most awesome vacation in Taj Land’s End in Mumbai (the hotel) and a few days in Gujarat too! The hotel was absolutely awesome, much better than I had expected! Here are a few pics from the vacation. I actually took a lot of pics, but I’m allowed to post none (Dad’s strict, no-nonsense rules)

 

Me again! Last night (after I stopped blogging), I Googled Derek and Casey (Those are the stars of the Life with Derek tv series) for a few pics from the serial, I noticed something new. Dasey. Which means the Derek/Casey ship. When I first saw it, I felt- UGH!! But then, when I saw more about Dasey, I didn’t think it was that bad… after all, Derek and Casey are just step siblings-not really related. What surprised me more was the huge amount of fan following this ship had. It’s got more fansites and fanlistings than the show itself!! Now, coming to the BBC movie, it’s called North and South,  and it’s AWESOME!!! I like it as much as Harry Potter (which is my favourite movie, naturally). Here’s a short summary of the story which I found-

Set against the backdrop of Victorian England’s industrial north, it follows the fortunes of Margaret Hale, one of 19th century literature’s most original heroines.

Played by Daniela Denby-Ashe, Margaret is a privileged, middle class southerner who is forced to settle in the northern town of Milton.

Margaret takes instant offence to the town and its people. She becomes terribly lonely and hates the dirt, noise and lack of civilisation, blaming their new way of life for her mother’s ailing health.

Her distaste for the town and its people extends to handsome and charismatic cotton mill owner John Thornton, (Richard Armitage), whom she believes epitomises everything she dislikes about the North.

However, Margaret gradually begins to settle in Milton. Her social conscience awakens and she befriends some of the local mill workers, learning about their poverty and workplace struggles.

As events conspire to throw Margaret and Thornton together, the two spirited characters have to overcome their repressed physical attraction for one another and conquer prejudices of class and circumstance.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? Well, I saw it once and became a huge fan of it!!

Then, I’ve got good news and bad news.

GOOD NEWS: I got 3 new books from Landmark (That’s a book and movie store, which is my favourite place!) One was a collection of horror stories by Edgar Allan Poe, another is a three stories in one by Robert L Stevenson. The last one is The Chronicles of Narnia-Prince Caspian (Although I’ve already read this book, it was from a library and years ago, so I don’t really remember much from it, and because the movie is releasing soon, I really wanted to brush up my knowledge) 

BAD NEWS: I can’t read them now, I’ll have to wait till Sunday   Why? Because if I finish them now, I won’t have anything to do in Mumbai!!! so, for the first time in my life, I’m not finishing books with 1 day of buying them… its really hard!!!

OKay, I’m leaving now…

Hi again! It’s me, Anahita! Today wasn’t very interesting, basically just waking up at 10 and waiting for 8 and a 1/2 hours for Life With Derek to come on.  As usual, it didn’t disappoint. Today’s episode was- Casey’s mom keeps trying to talk her into into babysitting Marti. Casey is angry and wants to make Derek babysit for a change. Things change when a) Casey’s mom offers her 12 bucks per hour, and now Casey wants the job b) The new girl Derek wants to impress likes kids, and Derek had invited her home so that they can babysit her together, so now Derek wants the job.  The episode is all about that. And I totally loved it. As usual. And can’t think about anything else. As usual. Anyways, now coming to the stuff I did today. I found a GREAT song titled Boulevard of Broken Dreams- Green Day. It’s kinda Rock with a really catchy beat and slightly mournful music (which is COMPLETELY my type-DONT TELL ANYONE!!). Okay, so maybe I like dark and broody music.  Yeah, that’s true, which is why Evanescence (Especially- Bring me to life-Evan…) has sung more than one of the songs I really like.  *shakes head to clear thoughts*Back to the singer (and more cheery songs), her name is Colbie Caillat. I heard one of her songs, ‘Bubbly’ and became a fan, went crazy, and downloaded, erm, 10 more of her songs. I know, I know, it’s a bit crazy, but hey, she’s a good singer… Besides, I need more songs on my IPod. I have just 700 songs on it. And it’s an 80 gb IPod. Which means it can store around 25000 songs. Bit of a waste of space huh? I think it’s a bit more than a bit. Whoa! My blog posts are getting longer and longer! I guess I’m getting more used to blogging. In fact, I feel like doing it everyday! I can’t believe there’s not even a month left for school to re-open!! I mean, it’s as though school got over yesterday! And it’s reopening in less than 25 days! I don’t know if I’m sad or happy about that.. If it was any other year, I would be quite excited as it would mean an end to my boredom (not that I dont like holidays, I love them, but still… it does get boring) but not this year. Know why? Because its the year before I write my boards. The thought makes me feel nauseated. I just can’t imagine myself writing my boards, similar to how I can’t imagine Tanu (That’s short for Nitika, one of my best friends for around 6 years, who, sadly got transferred 2-3 years back ) writing them. And she’s going to write them THIS YEAR. Okay enough about the boards, they’re seriously creeping me out. I wish I could just, you know, rewind 5 years and play, so that I could go back to being Daddy’s little girl (i am, even now, but still… its more realistic when you’re LITTLE, although I will always be little to my parents as I have an elder sister.) and the cute, curly-haired, little brat of the family. (I’m still curly-haired though, but definitely not cute or little anymore) Although I wish I could be I guess there’s no way that’s going to happen, but I can’t help thinking about it… I think the point where I thought most about this (actually, wanted it the most) was when I got 87% in English. Let me explain- I LOVE English. And It’s like, one of the only subjects I’m good at and I’m actually interested in (although, I really love computer too, but its not really a main subject like English). And so, I had my heart set on this Proficiency which is awarded to the person  with the highest total at the end of the year. It’s awarded during the year after the great performance bt a student (That’s the coming year for me.) That meant I had to have great marks all throughout the year. I really wanted this, I think more than I’ve ever wanted anything. Mainly because, I’ve always been an average student,  I really wanted to show everyone that I could be great at something I really had my mind on. So I had to be keep up great marks in English the entire year. And I really wanted to. And I did, until the second-last exam of the year, when I went slightly down in the eyes of every other student, but in my eyes, I had failed. I couldn’t help it. I started crying as soon as I recieved my paper, in front of the class, something which I’ve never done before.  Everyone else thought this was a bit extreme, mainly because I hadn’t told almost anyone that I was aiming for the proficiency, except my best friend, Priyanka, though I don’t think she really cared. Maybe she thought there was no way I could get it. Maybe she was right. The worst part was that (I feel awful for saying this), Priyanka got 90%, highest of the class, and, although there was no way she could ever reach my total, I was still feeling terrible, and (again, I feel terrible for saying this), I was all- How could SHE get it and not ME. I guess it was a huge blow, especially since I had been so confident. I cried for the next two periods (those were the last two, thankfully). While going home, people kept asking me if I was okay, so I went all smiley. Then, I maintained my smiley face until I reached home and all the way till the night because I didn’t want to cry in front of my family and have them ask me what was wrong again. So I just told them I got my english marks and told them my marks. They were happy. I wasn’t. I cried for the next three nights. And maybe I’m doing it right now. I guess, then things started getting okay again, (not entirely though) and it turned out, Priyanka had told one of her other good friends that she felt really bad for me crying, who came and told me. I really felt bad, apologised and all that, but I still don’t know if I’ll get my Proficiency next year, but whoever does, whether I know the person or not, I’m going to clap just as hard for him/her as I would have before I started aiming for the proficiency when their name is announced. Okay, I’m going now, will write again tomorrow.

Miss Boring is back!! She’s feeling unimaginative and bored AND blogging right now, so she’s warning you to run….. fast! That’s right.. I know you’re probably sick and tired of me moaning about boredom, but seriously, you have to be there to know! Anyways, you will not believe what happened today! Just after I woke up (I was in a really sour mood and was barking at everyone in my way) I realised, I totally look like zombie queen in the morning!! So before I start moaning about that too (i think i got this moaning habit from my best friend… she does it ALL the time!) let’s talk about something better. Like the two new movies which are releasing this month, The Chronicles of Narnia-Prince Caspian and Indiana Jones-Kingdom of the crystal skull!!! I really really cant wait to watch them!!! Now the bad news- I won’t be able to watch them during the first week cuz of a trip to Mumbai (I live in Chennai right now.) which I’ll be taking. I just hope I’ll be allowed to watch them in Mumbai or I’ll have to watch them when I come back here, that’s roughly 2 weeks after release!!! Tragedy huh? So why can’t I watch them in Mumbai? Because my dad isn’t sure of the quality of the theaters there. That’s a bit of an unbelievable excuse since he’s LIVED there for like, 20 years! Although, that was around 12 years ago so I guess things WOULD have changed… anyway, I just hope I’ll able to watch them in Mumbai! Speaking of Mumbai, I have to tell you one thing- I hate the place. Everything about it. Its roads. Its IPL team. Its snooty and over-acting residents. Weird huh? To hate my BIRTHPLACE. Anyways I don’t consider it my birthplace. I’m a native Gujarati, so when anyone asks me where I was born, I say Gujarat. In fact, not many people know I was born in Mumbai (but its not like I’m lying or something.. I was just BORN there.. I’m Gujarati, NOT Marathi). Although I love being a Chennaiite as much as, if not more than being Gujarati. Coming back to while I’ll be in Mumbai, atleast I’m staying in a rocking hotel (Taj Land’s End) which is going to be PARADISE (in the middle of hell). The only other things I’m looking forward to during the trip are

1) We’ll be going to Gujarat for a few days, which is my favourite place ever, coming closely after Chennai.

2) The flight. Although I’d gotten used to flying from here to Mumbai every year for almost 10 years, I never fail to enjoy the experience, even though I must have boarded around 40 flights by now.

Anyway, I think I should go now.. I’ll drop in later!

Well, its just another day in the life of miss boring… Sometimes I think I was born for getting bored! Anyways, I found a way to kill my boredom, evn if its only for 2 hours. I found two great serials on disney (Wizards of Waverly Place, Life With Derek). What’s great is, the two serials that preceed these 2 are Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody!!! So that’s two hours of non-boredom, complete entertainment for me! Then there’s the IPL (Indian Premier League) which is a cricket tournament played in India, where the teams are the states (eg Delhi Daredevils) but its not like the national tournaments because players of different nationalities play too!! So there can be a Brit, a Pakistani, an Indian, a South African and an Australian in one team!! Isn’t that great? But since the team I support, ChEnNaI SuPeR KiNgS, was on a losing streak recently, I lost interest (let me tell you that I hated cricket before the IPL, then I got a smidgen of interest because of the IPL and now I’ve lost it again.) and by the time The ChEnNaI SuPeR KiNgS started winnig again, it was too late. So, now, although I still support the ChEnNaI SuPeR KiNgS, I don’t really watch the matches, so I’m back to normal.. omg I’ve started typing so fast!! I’m so proud of myself!!
