Impromptu decisions, my Lady (AGAIN), and a Special Surprise! :)

So I made an impromptu decision today. My post would have to be a minimum of 400 words. Random number but I think it’s important to set a goal for me to get into the habit of sitting down and writing for a while at a length.
Also I do want my blog to be featured one day...So this is also an excellent exercise to make sure that happens...SOMEDAY :)

I look at the social networking sites today, (and also the number I am a part of, which is one too many, on the other hand not that many compared to some people I know) and I realized that what a waste of time they are. Some, like Facebook have even been said to do this

So I have unconsciously, uh, well before my conscience decides to butt her cute butt in, Yes I have consciously reduced the amount of time I spend on Facebook. But then I spend just the same amount of time, if not more on Twitter. But then I reduced Yahoo/MSN/Gtalk/AIM and everything else too, but then that was because my mother started using my laptop a lot more and started calling it hers. Now that was really annoying. And then I went and got a Skype account. So now my computer has been slowed down my the multitude of sites mentioned above and many more which I shall not name, but let it be known they are not all for me, the unmentioned ones that is.
I happen to be Indian, it wasn’t my decision, although it could be said that I was conceived somewhere in the middle of the forests of Kenya/Nairobi/Tanzania. Yes I know it is sort of gross to think about it when it comes down to it all, BUT I think that’s where I get my sense of adventure and love of travelling from. Wednesday I had to do a presentation n South Asia for my World Geography class and since India takes up ¾ of the land mass in the realm, I got a chance to talk about my motherland.

I had been planning for this moment for weeks and as I said yesterday I had sort of become a procrastinator lately,uh yes dear conscience we all know your opinion on that one, I left it up to the night before, which unfortunately a very bad decision. My laptop sometimes randomly shuts down and Tuesday happened to be one of those days. My laptop shut down 4 times and by 12 30 I was in full on panic mode because it had already deleted my presentation thrice. SO I decided to go to sleep and wake up at 4 in the morning and do it all over again. This is no mean feat let me tell you. And then the presentation itself will be the topic of tomorrow’s post.


But for today, hmm let’s see I still have to give you the rest of my Lady, and then I have to recommend a book and I have to finish my Boston trip contrast/comparison thing. But I still don’t think that’ll still be quite enough I mean I’ve already surpassed the 400 words self-inflicted requirement by now. So, what next?

Let me talk a little about myself? Uh yeah, I loooooooooooove that topic. I love talking. And reading. Skating.Twittering. And did I already mention READING?
Uh I did. ;)

Yeah basically my life revolves around those two things Reading and Talking. But that’s just for now. There is definitely more than that, but I don’t want to mention them all right now. And I have reached 602 words so I’m going to give my Lady the floor and do my recommendations and take your leave .

There you go my Lady, the floor is all yours!

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady of Shalott.
A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott
The gemmy bridle glitter'd free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazon'd baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armor rung
Beside remote Shalott.

And so ends my post for the day!
I have my meeting with my advisor tomorrow morning regarding my term paper
And I hope he agrees with the angle I want to take on this paper.


Wish me luck!
Take care,
Au revoir
Adios
Sayonara
Hasta La Vista
Goodbye

Love,
