The grad school panic has ebbed- for the moment anyway. This girl has finally sent in the first of six applications, at 0630hrs in the morning because she was wired from sugar, a whopping double cheeseburger (thanks to the Godbrother) and some mean ole’ grad school panic-adrenaline that kept her going and going and going.
Few [...]

the anonymous Me that made her cry
Posted in emo-ments, just me, music on November 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Two days ago, this girl received an anonymous email (generic address, no sign of, mailed back to no reply) from someone with the simply title that read: This… Seems cryptic enough to pique her interest and a simple message met her when she opened the mail: …is me. Just needed to let you know how [...]
paled faced and fishnet stockings

OMG! And because this girl can only do this in a non-english medium:
Le magasin avec Cette Fille dans lui est dehors. Oui, celui qui a fait ses bas de fishnet d’usage. Et saut autour dans les initialisations.
Ils ont redressé ses cheveux. Ils ont mis dessus trop de maquillage. Ils ont redressé ses cheveux. Ils [...]
A response piece

Its been a long time since this girl wrote anything remotely literary. Never really had the need or urge to do so till recently when she started exchanging musings and writings with her Godbrother who’s re-opened the erstwhile shut literary door. Anyway, she’s included here one of the response pieces she wrote (and under 15 [...]

Four words: Grad school applications due.
Three words: Unwritten policy memo.
Two words: No time!
One word: Panic.
simple vs. real

As a follow up to her previous post, this girl thought she’d share her small, but rather accurate take of the difference between the two types of friends we have: the Simple Friend, the real friend. In her world anyway.
A simple friend calls you to chat.
A real friend calls you to talk.
A simple friend doesn’t [...]

It is a strange phenomena that that this girl finds herself at the receiving ends of a lot of perplexing life questions. People seem to think since she’s a survivor of sorts and seem to have bounced back better than ever, she’d be a great person to ask all sorts of strange stuff. Most [...]
the path you have walked

This girl was asked a question by an old friend that she’s been pondering for a while now. The question came at the tail end of a long exchange of emails that started one day out of the blue. And after the pleasantries and the surprise of reconnecting with this friend, the emails took on [...]

Sometimes when you consider how the cookie crumbles
When you watch how the chips fall
You wonder.
And you worry.
You ask, “Will it be in my favor?”
“Will it be fair?”
Or maybe you simply shut your eyes-
Too scared to see.
Too afraid to look.
But if you dare, stare the falling pieces;
Watch the crumbling bits-
You’ll be surprised at how little it [...]

These things made this girl happy these past few days:
1. She got carded at an R21 movie.
Earlier today, Eggplant Project and this girl went to watch a movie and both of them were dressed down. He in some hip-hop type do with his hoodie, she in a similar garb in a hoodie throw and [...]
making time

Friends make time for each other.
It is by no coincidence that Quality Time is listed as one of our five love languages. Neither is it surprising that Time- as a resource, as a concept, as an ideal- is often talked about, discussed and fretted over. Its a precious commodity that is fast becoming scarce because [...]

There are some people that come into your life and in their own way, take your breath away. Its not like you are in love with them, or even in lust with them- ok, sometimes, maybe a little of the latter. It may not even be of the opposite gender. Whatever it is, its just [...]

This girl and Fisherman would have celebrated their first year if things hadn’t happened the way it did. It’s an easy date to remember for its also Fisherman’s birthday. They had picked it for that same reason; that since he was so bad at remembering dates, having his birthday and wedding on the same date [...]
so, what’s different?

This girl was invited to speak at a women’s event thing today and she gladly agreed since it was a good cause and the people behind the program were so passionate about it. It was going to be a for women, about women, by women kind of thing. No, its not a feminist thing. (She [...]

This is a game/joke/activity that many people engage in. Its a pretty fun game, actually- this girl always gets loads of laughs from playing this. Its called the “I’ll marry you supposed pact”. You know what it is, don’t you? It where you and a friend (often under the influence of alcohol) make a pact [...]
