Yeah, so it's been a long time. Due to complaints from fans (haha Tess you rock) I decided to update.
So let's see. Val graduated today (aww!). I know. She's growing up so quickly. Sniffle! I'm so excited I'll get to see her so much more next year. What I'm not excited about is finals! Woo woo woo. I'll prolly do ok in econ if I copy the notes, but math ... argh. I really need to study. The good news is a lot of people can help me. :)
So what's really new? Not much. Not much. Thanks, though. I'm just kind of chilling.... um. yeah. I saw eve6 perform a few weeks ago which was cool. Annnd other than that. Um. I'm not sure there is an other than that.
So deep thoughts. High school. Sooo long ago, but like, i was back there and I'm remembering my graduation and I'm like WHOA AGH. There are so many things I wish I could change about high school (and I'm not just talking about the length of my hair) and so many things I wish the school could have changed. I wish I'd been 18 when I graduated. (This year, I found out, I get to have a party! MORE THAN ONE PERSON WILL BE IN TOWN FOR MY BIRTHDAY! That's freaking exciting.) It's such a weird school, such a weird place. I don't know.
Stanford's so different. It's so... different. It's not as close, obviously, but it's very ... informal in kind of the same way I guess. Graduation's certainly less formal (apparently someone's Harvard friend came to graduation and realized he was the only person there in a suit...). The speakers were good today. Studying for finals was hell winter quarter -- it's been overcast and rainy (odd, I know) and then dead week and finals week --BOOM 90 degree weather. Of course, as soon as spring break rolled around it went straight back to rain. And now , of course, sun again. God damn but I love california. I really really do.
So ... apparently I don't eat enough protein, so I'm working on that. And my cholesterol's really high for someone my age. (Why? I don't know. Apparently the fact that I don't eat meat doesn't mean anything to my stupid liver). I don't know why why why why? WHY? Dr said no donating platelets for a while. And I said screw you. No, I didn't. I just nodded my head and obeyed. You know me. I had to get a blood test the other day and the woman did a horrible job, I got this bruise and it hurt like hell. I can do fine with a huge needle in both arms for 2 hours to donate platelets, just fine, never a bruise. But this woman sucked. The itty bitty needle for 30 seconds and I have a yellowish purplish bruise on my elbow for days. Gooooooo labs.
Blah blah blah. What else? Ummmmmmm. Living will be neat next year. That's all I have to say about that.
Food... maybe not as much. Blech! Why can't they do something good for me? Why? Why does the dining service hate me?
Sooooo what else. The friends are okay. The boy is okay. Everything is okay. Good even.
I don't know if i mentioned, but actually my blog name is misspelled. It's not tzigana, it's cygany. But like I actually speak Hungarian. Szerintem a bort, a sort, a palinkat!
So in my nightmare last night, there was this huge Torah thing and you'd have to run around to get the scroll to turn, tons of work, and then the police kept shooting it and we had to keep weeding this thing and there was magic and nudity and harrassment and it wasn't at all fun. It never ever is. Except Tom certainly liked Judaism more than he ever has before. :) But other than that, all very sad. Daaaamn.
Hunh, so I guess I never posted how Basmati Raas did in the competition. In short: we rocked it. We got 2nd place (over e-cost chapms. losing only to LA), despite Roma dislocating her knee in the first 30 seconds (she finished the dance!). Um, we rocked. Yes. Mela is tomorrow (today in IL), but I am not in it because I am here. However, the raas is INCREDIBLE, so so so so so good. With Sean and Alap as god and fighting to this really somber music (beatles, I think, instrumental), oh my God I was like shivering. Wow. I wish I could see it on stage! And Noopur was also really good. I rocked that I could understand it without even knowing the stories.
I also met my sister's boyfriend today and I realy like him which is awesome. I guess I'll see him more this summer.
So what else is really up? I don't know if I've given the whole song-writing spiel yet, but I think it's good. I think it's all good. I think songwriters should be encouraged, and bad ones should be discouraged.
Okay, so I took an hour break right there. Time to post.
I want to touch you but I want it too much
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
