I love learning new languages.
Which is why I call it speaking in tongues.
Although I only annoy people with it when I have nothing better to do. I usually don't annoy people. Unless they really get on my nerves. Introvert much sometimes, yes.
But when my extrovert part kicks in (usually after I have Pepsi) then well.. you get the idea. :p
Anyway. I get two weeks off from university classes from the 11th-which makes it my first proper break since December. Excited much? Oh yes.
Oh, oh, oh, before I forget. Those of you who hate purple.. Purple was only allowed to be worn by royalty in ancient Rome.
I'm excited to be back at school. It's where I started.. and I really never imagined that I would be back for a while. So yes, I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can.. even if that means working a lot.
Hope you have a fun weekend!

It's a small world after all
I am not going to talk about the.. um.. daily chaos in our society. So you can read on in peace :)
I'm one of the few people I know who can have a full litre of pepsi and still fall asleep an hour later. I'm not boasting, but.. It's been a while since my parents left me alone with an entire bottle of pepsi. So I celebrated. By having it. :p
In fact, I'll just put in some random facts about me in this post..
1. I don't care how I look or what I wear. I mean, okay, I'll be presentable and clean, but I'm not going to go the extra length of putting on gel and and all that. I. Really. Don't. Care. You can't judge me unless you live my life. So simply looking at me isn't going to help you. At all. Besides, I'm the only person I know of who walks around the apartment complex at 7am in their pajamas. Do I care if people stare at me? No. Do I care if people laugh at me? No.
2. If you laugh at me, I'm going to laugh too. Because my baby cousins laugh at me whenever they see me, so I laugh more.. which makes them laugh. And very few things are as uplifting as a baby laughing in front of you.
3. I think that Rebecca Black can sing, but she desperately needs a new songwriter. Hey-you can't sing, and neither can I (okay, I can sing, but it's going to make you wish you had never heard me).
4. I used to be a nerd once. Depends on your definition of nerd, actually. I'm a books-wala-nerd. Means I love reading fiction. Not the parhai-wala-nerd.
5. I haven't really discovered what the purpose of my life is. I mean, yeah, I still stick around because of my family-the four of them are the only people in the world who have always stood by me and been awesome-but continuously moving around means I don't really get the chance to make awesome friends. And when I do get awesome friends, they move away.. or I move away, so they don't really talk to me much. It also means that I have to keep adjusting.. which is bad for my health. How is it bad? Well, first off, travelling gives me week-long migraines. For the second reason that it's bad for my health, you'll have to look at number seven.
6. My dreams have their own reality. Every single dream is connected. And every dream is like a Star Wars Animated episode. Minus the lightsabers and the technology, though. But still has all the suspense and the fun. Oh, and the surprising fact is that my dreams-whether good or bad-come true if I tell the people they concern about the dream. And if they actually go ahead and do it. Like when I told my dad that he was going to win money that day if he bought three tickets for the lotto, and he actually won fifty dollars from buying three one-dollar tickets. And when I had a dream that I wouldn't get into Stanford. That came true too. But my friend who was supposed to win the lotto grand prize and then buy me a car didn't buy a lotto ticket even when I told her to. Her loss. She could've gone to university with all that money too. My dreams are awesome, yes.
7. I stammer whenever I move to a new place. It's not something that therapy can help. It's a biological reaction that medicine can't prevent either. Relaxing and getting used to everything improves it.. like it did when I went to a new college and when I moved to America too.. and now I have to hurry up and adjust again. So I need another month or two before I can talk on the phone and not stammer at all. Stammering doesn't mean that I'm demented, by the way. Just in case you're getting any ideas. ._.
8. I'm one of the Geniuses who applied to Harvard and didn't get in. That doesn't mean that I'm dumb, by the way. They had twelve seats. Fifteen hundred people applied. That means fourteen hundred and seventy-seven other people didn't get in. And all of those people had the same all-As and 4.0 GPA and leadership stuff.
9. My family sleeps in one room. Hey, we live in a three-bedroom apartment, so my brothers have their own room, my parents have theirs, and I have mine. But since my brothers love me so much, they sleep in my room. And my parents love us all so much that they sleep in my room too. Which means that my stuff gets moved out of the way day by day, but it's worth spending more time with them. After all, you never know what might happen. So I'm enjoying it. They just moved my clothes suitcase to make room for a television, by the way. Ask yourself; could you handle having your family sleep in the same room and move your stuff?
So I went home today in my dad's police van-he borrowed it from a friend for a few days so he can get to work-and if you've seen an older kid sitting in the back of one of those ancient police vans, then congratulations, you've just seen me.
That's the view from the top of the van, by the way.
Yes, we own a house and an apartment.. we've given the house to my cousins to stay in..
Back to the topic, though.. Going home was awesome. Yeah, the house is beyond ancient-it was built by the British in 1872. There's even a stone which has the date and everything.
It has all the medieval arches and fort-style stuff. You know, these ones..
And the barbed wire around it to prevent any dum-dum from trying to come in.
Ah, memories.
So I fasted yesterday, since I keep all the important rozas that I can.. been doing it for two years. Still remember how one of the two friends who were keeping the roza with me forgot she had a roza.. and ate some skittles that a friend offered us. Oh, it was funny to see the expression on her face, even though the circumstances weren't.
And since it's going to be really hot this Ramadan, here's a piece of advice for those of you who take time to adjust to fasting: Start fasting two days early. It's what my dad and I do every Ramadan. Here's what I did while staying up all night and praying, by the way.
Now I'm going to go and finish studying. I finally have internet, so I'm going to take full advantage of it.

Pepsi!
I just had Pepsi. It's been over three weeks since I last had it, so it feels awesome.
Almost like anything is possible. Yes, I'm hyper =D
I actually had soft drinks banned at my school while I was in grade eight. I still remember giving the speech at assembly..
I still agree with every word I said that day. It was about how soft drinks are highly acidic and how they are strong enough to be used as bleach or to remove rust..
It's a really interesting story as to how I started having drinks after getting them banned..
And as is usual when I'm hyper, everything is about me, me, andddd ME!
Where was I? Oh yeah, so soft drinks..
It started with a migraine. (Funny how so many things start with a migraine, isn't it?)
And I went to see my younger brother's doctor. He used to have migraines too, by the way. He stopped having them, though. As for myself, though, well..
But getting back to the point. The doctor made me do an MRI (oh, HOW i detest going into that machine.) It came back clear, as did a hundred other scans and lab/blood tests.
And she told me to start de-stressing and not taking so much tension. AND SHE TOLD ME NOT TO HAVE ANY SOFT DRINKS.
And that was when I decided to do what the doctor said not to do. After all, I was having migraines while not having had soft drinks for the last.. three? No, wait, two years. That. Is. A. Really. Long. Time. I don't think that I had even a bit of soft drinks in my body. Do you?
So I had Pepsi on day one after the doctor's visit. I was being as rebellious as I possible could be. And then I started having Pepsi once a month.. And I loved it. My migraines never left me, but for some reason, Pepsi was the only drink that never gave me a migraine. And that was how my love for Pepsi started.
I'm in such a good mood right now that I might actually give some people a third chances. I rarely give second chances, by the way. Oh, I forgive alright, but then I forget the incident.. and the person. And people lose their first chances only when they do something major.
Like deleting my number from your phone. Or lying to me. Or refusing an invitation to eat food or drink tea that I made. Now THAT is a major, major insult. My entire family loves my tea. (Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah..) So when a person says no to eating food first and then says no to drinking tea that I made, I'm simply not going to make food or tea for them again. Ever. Again. Sorry, but you said no when I sent you an INVITATION, so why should I cook for you when YOU WANT ME TO? Not going to happen. Bye, bye.
I'm not even proud of my cooking or anything. My great-grandmother, by the way, is the best cook in the world. I need to learn some things from her over the summer..
And I need to Radio Active 96 again. That station is AWESOME. Or used to be awesome a year ago, at least. Put that on my to-do list..
I haven't made much money online this week, so it looks like the teaching plan is going to happen.. Which is almost as awesome as being at University. And watch those movies I've been looking forward to watching, like X-Men First Class, Harry Potter 7 (Part II), Beastly, all the episodes of Dexter, Star Wars animated, and Samurai Jack. And see if Maddi Jane sings more songs. Awesome singer, and she's so young :o I don't envy her for her voice or anything, though.
But then I don't envy anyone :o
I started watching Beastly today. And Vanessa Hudgens, Emma Watson, Lily Allen, Ellen Page, Mila Kunis should ALL be in that movie. Watch the movie, and you'll see why.
Songs are getting stuck in my head these days. First Maddi Jane's cover of Rolling in the Deep, then Sami Yusuf's Healing, and now Chris Tomlin's Lord I need you.
Tomorrow, I'm going to resume getting up at five a.m. It's awesome watching the sunrise, and it's been a REALLY long time since I got a chance to do it from a perfect height.
I was just going through the Google gadgets and I found the feed-the-fish one. REALLY makes me miss my puppies. Oh yeah, I've kept so many pets.. Five adult German Shepherds, a baby crow (it was injured), a parrot, chicks, ducks, a peacock, five turtles, don't remember how many fishes, and two German Shepherds puppies. It's the two puppies that I miss the most, for some reason =(
Simba-Caesar & Bella..
Bella on the left; Simba on the right
