Cute Dog Picture of the Day


Just for happy feelings!

96.



96. Kat Dennings (1986-present)- An American actress, who recently starred in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist(Peter Sollett,2008). She is like the quirky counterpart of Michael Cera (without being quite as annoying) and is an avid blogger, whose video blogs can be viewed on youtube.












96. Hayden Christensen (1981- present)- He is probably best known for playing Anakin in the recent Star Wars films. Although I don;t care much for his acting skills (?) , he is hot enough for me to actually watch his films ( and maybe one day Star Wars). Also he's engaged to one of my favouritest actresses Rachel Bilson!

Musical Memories

So I've decided to occasionally write about certain songs that have affected me and that have specific time periods and people associated with them, because songs are so autobiographical in that way.

I'm listening to Rachel Yamagata''s 'Be be your love' which will always take me back to my first year at Stephen's, more specifically Harmony, our college fest. It was such an incredibly fun and memorable time of our lives, I think it was the first time our college group really came together and were in each others faces for 3 days straight that invaribly we became a family of sorts. For a lot of us it was our first taste of real 'freedom', no restrictions from parents and just being able to party, stay out all night and get to know each other.

The first night involved us going for a super fab (?) dinner at Wimpy's, watching random movies back at our friend Aakanksha's house and heading to college next morning (also had some unfortunate bathroom run ins ! LOL) It was the night of 'magical and intimate' , makeup being put on people's faces and our first Conti party was the next night (where I somehow ended up having a long conversation with a brick!)

I got my heart broken by a guy who turned out to like other boys and then moved on to someone else in a day (who turned out to be superboring and into nanotechnology!) , Noor and I became close friends, we got to know our seniors and I just look back at those three days as three of the best days of my life. So listening to this song has both made me happy to remember that time and sad that I can never go back to it. Music is strange that way.

97.






97. Natalie Portman (1981-current): A talented young actress, Natalie achieved fame at a young age and is one of the few child stars to have not turned into a drugged out mess. My favourite film of hers was Closer (Mike Nichols, 2004) in which she played Alice, a stripper. She is so beautiful, she pulled off the bald look effortlessly and made it seem almost fashionable.










97. Matthew Morrison (1978-current): I noticed him on the TV show 'Glee' where he plays the glee club coach Mr. Schuester. Although his character on the show is kind of annoying, his singing/dancing/general hotness makes it all worthwhile. And he even managed to sing Kanye's 'Golddigger' without making me want to shoot myself, him or the TV which is quite an accomplishment!

What were the chances?

I'm feeling down and unfortunately that means this is going to serve therapeutic purposes. I haven't written about this, but I feel like I have to. I feel like an utter fool... as usual I did something stupid and I suppose i'm paying the consequences. What I've learnt in this life is do not trust people. I mean this sounds harsh but it's sound advice. Because people tend to disappoint you.


This is linked to an earlier blog post of mine, and also kind of the reason I started writing here. I took a chance when maybe I shouldn't have. I don't know if i'm supposed to feel better for putting myself out there, because I don't. Also, it doesn't help that I'm getting all this new information about the person concerned, cos now I just feel dumber for being so vocal. And it doesn;t help me forget. I wish it did. I really and truly wish it did.
