I was in a great mood all day. I think my happiness is directly proportional to the amount of sunlight I see outside of the window.
I really wanted to just lie in the grass and stare at clouds today, but I figured that would be a rather peculiar request, so I didn't share. Steven, Crystal, and I painted with watercolours today. I must say, Steven and Crystal are total artists! I think Preetha will especially appreciate Steven's portrayal of Oscar (her stuffed animal turtle) on a logged boat riding the waves of an endless ocean.
Art rocks.
Nothings too new in life. Well, nothing I'd like to share at least. Yesterday I went to Rohma's apartment for about an hour to say happy birthday to Anam. We had a psuedo dance party, which got me in a good mood, despite a pounding headache that has yet to go away. I was so pumped! So pumped that when I got back to Ellicott and sang happy birthday to Josh, I went running with Steven. I stole Tina's phrase "emotional run" to describe the event. I definitley needed something to take my mind off of everything else.
You know what's weird? I always need time alone to think and weigh out situations in my head, but if I didn't have such supportive friends, I feel like the jumbled facets of my mind would end up crashing in on themselves and leave a heavy void - I guess like a black hole - right where my sanity is suppossed to be.
Anyway, Preetha and Dane were watching Becoming Jane yesterday as well. I LOVE that movie! Yesterday in particular, however, I really was not ready to view the ending again...I guess because I feel like such an ending is much too possible. I guess I don't know what's worse...expecting a happy ending or accepting an unsatisfactory one. Nevertheless, the emotional run did not last long enough for me to get to miss the ending. Preetha and I just sat in front of her laptop, weeping, until about 2:30am. Dane fell asleep on Teddy...I'm happy he did not have to witness our teary eyes.
Today I met up with Deanna for lunch. She shared this situation of hers that greatly makes me concerned about how she's going about through life. I guess I don't really understand the concept of transient, somewhat physical relationships. It's strange...Deanna's one of the best people I know. She's a great person...but it's like she doesn't express that great personality to the guys she meets. Furthermore, the guys she meets usually aren't interested in personality anyway. I just don't know what to tell her. Also, I guess it's confusing me even more because one of her situations is similar to my awkward quandry and I just don't know what to make of it. I don't even know if I should be thinking about it. She's reacting MUCH differently then how I'm dealing with it.
I'll stop with the ambiguity. I'll pretend this isn't important.
*sigh*
I'm excited to be staying this weekend! I might be heading over to Rohma's or Tina/Dee's to finish a task that I skrewed up a couple of weeks ago. I think Steven might be occupied with EWB...which is really intense by the way! He's working on it right now, and just looking at it makes me gape...but he can't see because his back is turned.
Oh yeah! And Steven drew a portait of me! I love it, although I laughed at it effusively. Or maybe I laughed with it.
Daney left today. He tatooed my hand with pen and tickled my feet before he left. He looked rather zoned out. I hope everything works out for him...everytime I see even the slightest hint of sadness in his eyes, I immediately acquire the urge to cry.
Payal was in the dorm for a little while; she's so cheerful! I'm quite fond of her. Speaking of Hindi-speakers, Steven displayed his expertise today. All was well until he said the jungli billi dialogue from Don. He must not have emphasized the "billi" enough, because Rachana thought he was just calling her "jungli" lolzzz. Poor Steven. I doubt anyone really cared...he's great at Hindi!
Well, I'm gonna make a to-do list! I'll post it soon. Toodles! Or...whatever lolz.
Love,
Gowri
