i tried so hard...

i honestly tried so hard- i used to like this girl as a person. but i didn't know her so well then. man, she is such a pest. i wrote this poem when she first started to annoy me, but then decided she deserved another chance. after all, everyone is entitled to a second chance. so she got a second. and a third. and a fourth. but now she has proved so completely irresponsible, i am compelled to post this.

My friend’s annoying girlfriend

You wouldn’t think it to look at her
Or perhaps you might,
Mosquito’s what some call her
And they might be right.

Distracting and annoying
From some other world
She doesn’t seem to fit in
In our little fold.

I wouldn’t say she’s emotional
Though it’s easy to make her cry-
She finds insults in the trivial
And is besotted with her guy.

She tries to prove she’s better
And busier than us.
Well, honey, your ego
Is nothing but a cloud of dust.

The ones who complain the loudest
Haven’t done the work.
They think this gives them the right
To mumble and to smirk.

But still we tolerate her
We try to not be rude.
I do it as a sister-
I do it for you,(humph) dude.

and to those who know who it is: don't spoil the fun by posting names please!

politically correct?

what does the phrase politically correct mean?
i know that instead of saying spastic or retard we now say differently abled or special and these phrases/ words are considered politically correct.
but who invented political correctness?
is it just for politicians? they obviously can't (shouldn't) insult their voters or potential voters, so does it apply only to them? can't they just call it diplomacy? because that is what it is.

new findings

get this: today's GT says that a study conducted in the US proves that men are smarter than women.
i quote "A study of 100,000 17-to 18- year -olds on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) published in the September 2006 issue of the journal Intelligence, has confirmed a surprising new finding that men have a 4 to 5-point IQ advantage over women by adulthood."
surprising indeed!
if guys are so smart, why don't they show it instead of always acting like imbeciles?and if guys are smarter, how come girls always do better in school than guys? take me for example...(hee hee) is it because guys don't appluy themselves, being too lazy to do a little hard work?
hmph, i don't care what the study says: i know what i know. girls in this neck of the woods are smarter than guys simply because they have to be in order to be taken seriously. and recognising that you have to slog a little is proof that you have a brain and use it.

effects of responsibility

aaaaaaahhhhh!
am going crazy!
here is the official declaration- i have taken on too much and i am worried i am going to have :
a) a nervous breakdown
b) worse skin than before
c) dandruff
d) a tough time when my exams finally do come around
e) a nervous breakdown
f) a less successful life than earlier imagined, because of loss of basic ability to feel happy and at peace
g) a bitter and unfulfilled life
h) a nervous breakdown
i sincerely hope this is just some late adolescent phase.
they tell you growing up is tough, but no one ever says being a grown up is tough. why is that?
another unanswerable question. sigh.

ay caramba!
today, supposed day of rest, i taught a friend french and went for mass.
my godfather came over and took my stupid Kinetic back to his house. the dumb thing(bike) is 10 years old. i named it Kristine. i don't know how it's possible but that stupid thing does not like me. i am fully aware that Kristine is an inanimate object but i've fallen down with her at least thrice (luckily i didn't hurt myself, but she got a couple of dents) and a couple of weeks ago when i tried kick-starting her, she backfired. but when my godfather started her today, she was fine.
stupid bike! my mum might get me a lighter bike now- a scooty or something. i don't care what bike it is- i just want (and desperately need) one.
wish i had the car but then would have to take a whole lot of annoying folk in it- or risk being called a bitch.
strange world- you can't stand up for yourself without people thinking you are horrible.
whatever!
learned about wasps today- there were a couple of nests (hives?) on kristine. godpa broke them off and there were pupae inside- squashy-looking, cream, oily creatures. quite fascinating.
despite everything, i love goa because this crazy little state offers you so many opportunities to discover the natural world. where else would you find those velvety red creatures after the first rain? not in good ol' dubai, where i spent the first 8 years of my life.
dear little lump of clay, as dirty as you can be
you are my g-o-a, and i love you dearly
ya i know that's sappy, but it was spontaneous! so can't help the sappiness
