A few questions and a few answers

Well so I created this blog long long ago, so long ago, nobody knows how long ago [well ok anyone will know how long ago by looking at my "created on..." but you get the drift] on a day when I was thoroughly bored and well, I've come full circle. Once again I am EXTREMELY bored and so for the past few days I've been thinking of getting back to blogging and while I do have a million thoughts whirring in my head, I haven't yet put any of them down. So as a God-send and just so that I get my ass moving on the blogging front, my friend Chowmein asked (ok mildly threatened) me to do this whole question-answer thing and well here goes...

1) Pick out a scar you have, and explain how you got it.
Oh boy! where do I start on this one seeing that I have so many veera thazhumbus [marks of war]? Well maybe I'll tell you about the first scar I remember getting. I have this scar near my left eye, I'm not sure if it's because of a fight with my sister or because of the incident I'm going to tell you about now, but well then neither do you so you'll just have to go along with my story :)
So when I was about 5 or 6 yrs old, we lived in a beautiful house in a beautiful neighbourhood [HATE the red squiggly lines under neighbour 'coz it wants me to change it to neighbor] but my sister and I had only one other girl friend. She lived opposite our house and was the daughter of some director or producer [all I know is that Satyaraj "uncle" used to come often to their house] and had the most awesome Barbie doll set complete with a pretty pink Barbie house and bath with soap suds. So one evening, I went over to her place to play with the Barbie doll but our very own Barbie had to finish her bath before giving her doll a bath and so while I was waiting for "chinnamma" to finish her beauty bath and then powder her tiny nose, I was sitting on her dressing table. Suddenly her mother walked in to see what we were doing and she raised an alarm asking me to get off the dressing table "that very minute" 'coz the mirror was loose. Not a very wise thing to have done considering what happened next. I jumped off the table "that very minute" and the unstable mirror came crashing down. My back was towards it so I fell down on my stomach while my poor friend fell on her back and had some VERY nasty glass cut into her face. I was SO shaken up by the whole thing that I didn't even wait to see what happened next. I just ran home for dear life and every minute that I could hear her mother screaming after me, I thought that she was calling me so she could catch me and hand me over to the police. All she was doing though was to ask me to hop into the car with them so they could take me also to the hospital along with their daughter to see if I needed any pieces of glass pulled out of my body. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I got only one teeny-tiny scratch near my eye but one that has reminded me ever since of the horror of being "handed over to the police" [The poor girl by the way and VERY unfortunately had a million stitches and had to be in the hospital for weeks and yes, terrified as I was, I still did go visit her in hospital].

2) What does your phone look like?
What a random question! Being a reader of all those Cosmo and Femina quizzes, I'm expecting to have another question after this that will tell me my personality type or about my girliness, or the lack of it, based on what my phone looks like but well in fact, this question just wants me to describe my phone!!
Well so my phone is a nice navy blue with silver accents on the side. It is a slide phone and obviously has a couple of shiny silver keys on it. It's a little battered up but in quite good shape otherwise for a 2yr old phone [Oh and have I told you about how smart my phone is? Based on the first song I play on it, it judges my mood and plays similar sounding music.. I know this doesn't come in the category of how my phone looks but I just wanted to show off a little about my very cool phone :D]

3) What is on the walls of your bedroom?
Oh LOTS of things. Seeing that my current place of residence is a very dreary hostel room with drab cream walls, I've put up things of every colour [and hello again Mr.squiggly line] to brighten the place up. Above my desk I have a make-shift notice board that I made of strips of different gift wrappers and on which are post-its that are asking me to "Exercise!!" and drink "Milk!!". I have some random bits of printed paper which I cut out from a Fab-India brochure to cover up some empty space [and patches of dirt]. I also have some very pretty yellow serial lights going over my curtain rod and around my mirror [By the way, have any of you heard of "intelligent" lighting? Well my lights sure seem to have. They come on and go off as and when it pleases them which of course, does NOT please me at all]. I have a colourful purple and gold mask which I got during Carnival at Goa. I used to have a huge, amusing poster that reminded me of how I'd know I was Indian [because you only make international calls after 9.. because your sofas are covered with plastic..because you use plastic bags as garbage bin linings.. etc. etc.] and no amount of double sided tape or cellophane tape has been able to keep it up.

4) What is your current desktop picture?
Well I had a picture of tigers in the Ranthambore National Park till a few minutes before I started writing this blog. Now I have some digital art ["60 best digital art of all time"] which I thought would look great as wall paper but which I'm not so sure about any more. I think I'd prefer tigers any day to digital doodles.

5) Do you believe in Gay marriage?
Gay as in happy? Of course I believe in VERY happy marriages... Gay as in somebody's sexual preference? Well why not? I'm not averse to people who are gay I mean we all don't like the same chocolate, do we? So what's not to believe in a marriage of two people so long as it's happy and gay!!

6) What do you want more than anything right now?
To not be bored.. but as I'm writing this, I'm already not bored so at the risk of sounding like a self contended tart, I want nothing right now. I'm happy where I am and with all that I have :)

7) What time were you born?
Hmmm.. sometime after breakfast time is what I remember my mom telling me. She says that even then, I had my priorities set- food above all else :)

8) Are your parents still together?
Very much so! Still together, still very much in love [maybe even more] and still very very happy

9) Last person who made you cry.
Pass

10) What is your favorite perfume/cologne?
Men's - CK One [So man of my dreams, all you have to do is come to me wearing CK One and I'm all yours]
Women's - Poison, Davidoff cool water

11) What kind of hair/eye color do you like in the opposite sex?
Well they actually go hand in hand I think
Black hair-black/hazel eyes
Brown hair [NOT the hennaed kinds]-Light brown/green eyes
Blonde hair-blue/green/grey eyes
Red hair-green eyes

[and most of all, if you're colouring your hair, PLEASE make sure it goes with your skin colour and attitude. Girls would think you're much cooler with your natural hair colour than with some ugly "Yo!" colour]

12) What are you listening to?
Norah Jones!

13) Do you get scared of the dark?
I do. Especially at home. I'm really afraid that there's some thief hiding under the staircase of my house who will grab at my leg even as I'm taking the steps two at a time or who'll jump out of some dark corner and kill me before going on to loot the house. My sister tried to get me to be braver but sorry, the Rama nama DOES NOT work Archu!

14) Do you like pain killers?
What sort of a psycho question is that? I'm not getting high on pain killers, nuh huh! No siree! So if you think you can use this as a trick question to ensnare a potential customer or a potential druggie, depending on which side of the law you're on, leave me alone you sicko! You ain't get nothing out of me.

15) Are you too shy to ask someone out?
Am I? No. Have I been? No... coz I always got asked out first :D

16) If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
Death by chocolate, lots of cheese, Pizza, rasam sadam... heck I'd eat anything!

17) Who was the last person who made you mad?
Mad as in crazy-I've always been a little on that side of the line of insanity so it doesn't take too much or anyone really to get me madder.
Mad as in angry- Some really annoying professors who shall not be named just in case

18) Who was the last person who made you smile?
An ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE kid with the world's biggest cheeks and the cutest little stomach peeping out of her tiny pink top [ Now you're smiling aren't you?
