Thank You...

Nick Drake. You save me over and over again.

You're my angel. Probably the only thing that keeps me sane.

I love you. And I thank God everyday, just because you lived. You lived. And you keep us alive.

You will never be forgotten.

And to sum up...

I haven't been here in a while...sorry 'bout that. Stuff's been happening around me, I guess. But then stuff happens around everyone...

Anyhoo, I went through a spot of depression.

Now I'm okay.

And sick.

Huh.

I have a lot to talk about...so lets start, shall we?

#1: THANK YOU MY WONDERFULLY DELUDED PALS!
Have recently rediscovered the joys of having some of the best pals in the world. And so I wanna dedicate this part of the post to you guys - my real, lovable friends. I don't care who has how many facebook friends, but of this I am sure: I have the greatest pals in the world. The very best. And I don't say this enough, but I love you guys - so so so so soooooo much :)

#2: Mr. Has-A-Nice-Voice:
Mr. Has-A-Nice-Voice came to our class one day. He looked well, average. Nothing about him was out of the ordinary. And then he started speaking. Oh my oh my oh my! What a lovely voice!

#3: From the Darkest Corner of my Criminal Mind:
I'm watching waaay too much of Criminal Minds. Cant get serial Killers out of my mind! What am I doing here? I should have been a Criminologist. I knew I belonged in the good side of the world of crime back when I was fourteen. Care to explain WTF am I doing studying engg?

#4: I Really Need To Start Studying:
Its a subject I didn't pay attention to in 12th. And now I'm sick, I have a hell lot of portion to complete, I don't have the right text book and I have the worst teacher in the world. I am so S-C-R-E-W-E-D.

#5: Stay tuned for more Random Ramblings!
COMING SOON: My views on just about everything I'm crazy about!

#6: And Finally:
I could leave a photo of something really cute, like a bunch of (nuke) babies or hopping wabbits, but somehow, I find this cuter than anything else:

A Guy Called Gubler

This is the second part in a series of blog posts on my sad, sad obsession with *yet another*  celebrity, Matthew Gray Gubler. Part one is HERE


I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate this. Why do I "fall" for celebrities so often?! I admit, its better than being crazy about a "real life" person. Still. It sucks.

The worst part of a celeb-related crush, IMO is when you find similarities b/w yourself and the said person. That's when the actual obsession starts. Watching a TV show is one thing - thinking of someone all the time, imagining impossible situations wherein you might 'accidentally' run into a well, a bona fide celebrity - that's what makes you suffer.

And yes. Right now I am suffering. Real bad. Like real pain - bad. Take a few minutes off your busy schedules. Bother checking out this LINK

Done?

Does it sound familiar?

Did you just say no? Hmm. Let me help - I'll just post a few of his answers:

I guess three steps above looking homeless. I don't own many new clothes.


...one teal argyle


There would be a museum involved. In New York. Hopefully in the Fall because I love the Fall. It would also involve a dried leaves fight, hot apple cider and a pumpkin patch.


Also it would be horrible if it was somewhere loud, and she was trying to get me to dance to R&B music slowly with a crazy look in her eyes.


My favourite living director would be Wes Anderson, I think he is pretty great. A dead one would be Alfred Hitchcock, he made so many incredible films. I also love Roman Polanski, the Coen brothers... I like every single film, it is so hard to make a movie so I have a lot of respect for anyone who makes something that is watchable!


A dream come true. I got to be his real intern for school credit. And I still can't believe I was in one of his movies. I was watching The Royal Tenenbaums the other day and suddenly thought "I can't believe I was in a Wes Anderson movie!" There's nobody like him. It gave me a bizarre first impression about being an actor. He does many things unconventionally. It is the exact opposite of working on a TV show. He is a very measured and precise director who tries to make perfection.

You know what, I can't copy-paste things anymore. He fcking looks like Johnny Depp these days!

I'm suffering.





 I'm gonna go eat cake.

People I Admire #1 : Norah Jones

I'll be honest with you guys...when it comes to music, I'm probably the World's BIGGEST Hypocrite - its not something that I'm proud of; but then being a slightly pretentious moron, I don't try to hide it either. So you see, no matter how hard I try, I just can't like something that is popular. I just can't - believe me, I've tried a thousand times. I think my constant need for being different and far from "normal" has made me a snooty smartass.


Song Styles
There are songs that I like initially, but the moment I find out that the song is, in fact, popular, I lose interest. That happened with Taylor Swift's Love Story, pretty much every song that Green Day and Linkin Park ever released and currently popular bands like Paramore, Muse etc. etc.

Sometimes I refuse to like the song because everyone else likes it eg. Fireflies by Owl City. I swear, its not something that I decide to do on a whim - it just happens!

That being said, I sometimes like bands that are, in fact, popular, but just not in the place I live/with most people I know, examples being The Script, OneRepublic, Jason Mraz, Dido, The Bee Gees, Sheryl Crow Il Divo and Norah Jones

The New Nightingale
I know Norah is a popular artist - and why shouldn't she be? She is gorgeous, intelligent, a good soul and most of all, a wonderful singer - there is no reason why people should not fall in love with this woman.

Except for Human Stupidity, that is. Thanks to girls like Justine Bieber and guys like Milo Cyrus, not to mention the likes of Shrill-ary Puff, Lady Gargoyle, Vanessa Pudgens, Bobby Rat (I'm guessing you call her Robby Pat)...oh wait, where was I? Yeah, the popularity of non-singers - well that ensures that morons don't "get" the beauty of Norah's voice. I admit - sometimes I feel like I'm tone-deaf , but hey, any no-talent novice with basic intelligence (a rare commodity indeed) can tell you, there is so much more in an NJ song than just music and lyrics - Its amazing how she goes from bittersweet melancholy (Seven Years) to bubbly unclouded joy (Sunrise) to sensual flirtation (little Room) *also, at this point, I'd love to point out that she's always flirty, never cheap and slutty.*

 Okay fine, so maybe I don't get music. I know jack squat about chords and treble and God-knows-what else - but I do get Norah. Her voice, the lyrics of her songs, the soft soothing music, the emotions she conveys - all of these make her song a beautiful experience, a wonderful journey. Its like coming home.

Pity those Bieber girls will never experience it.

I think I own each and every album of hers. That makes me proud of myself. :)





There is a faint possibility that I'm developing a girlie crush on her. Meh, she still beasts Pattinson.



(Also, don't you think she and Henry Cavill will make an adorable couple?)
edit: Their baby is just plain adorable!
