Most people who know me know I'm a crazy fangirl. This means I'll squeal and get excited when something fun happens. And talk about them a lot. For example I'm so so so excited that Paget Brewster joined Twitter!!! I love her work and think she is such a fun person! If you want to get to know her a little better, follow her or see the Kevin Pollack interviews! They are on you tube in 2 parts. It's a little more then an hour and she talks about hosting a talk show that aired at 1:30am, bar tending, being a photographer, how she started off acting, her band and SO much more! (See what I mean about being a fangirl?)
Also.... I GOT TICKETS TO SEE KATE WALSH!!!! It's really happening! The play is called Dusk Rings a Bell and is in the Atlantic stage 2 theatre in NYC. It runs from may 19th (previews) till June 20th. You can get tickets at www.ticketcentral.com It's a small theatre with 99 seats, so hurry up and book your tickets!
This all happened last night and my mum leaving for SF so yeah.. I'm excited. Oh oh oh, Julia is mostly going to be here next weekend!!! That is so freaking cool! I still can't believe Jasmin was here. It's all so surreal! I'm meeting so many Walshies and we share fandoms which is super cool.
Now that I have blogged about this phenomenon that puzzles many of my "real life" friends, I hope somethings are clearer. Also, I take comfort that there are other fangirls out there whom I'm meeting so I know I'm not alone! :D

Continuation :)
So small wrap up of Jasmin's visit... She came on a Sunday, we went grocery shopping and my mum did the actual shopping on the list while Jazz and I picked up whatever we liked (read - candy, chips, huge bags of Doritos and salsa!). We shopped like crazy people (well like me, and to her it was crazy!), we saw a play that was associated with a German theatre (total win), got matching t-shirts, she met my friends, saw two movies (one next to a bunch of squealing tweens.. Advice: choose death by butter knife rather than watch a movie next to tweens.), went to really crowded shopping places in Bangalore (yes, shopping again.), went to a jungle, got buzzed on beer (me, and she thought it was shandy - sprite and beer. Clearly Indian Beer doesn't cut it.), ran errands, walked my dog (an event in itself), played games where she slipped into German, fully forgetting that I don't speak it (funny!), lunched at my grans place, ate Japanese food, ate a LOT of Indian food... Now if I'm tired telling you, you must be tired reading.
Oh she was also on watch duty twice. I will not explain this. And Jasmin, you will not explain this in a comment either.
On local animal adventures, I think the bats may have taken over from the cows. This is the second bat thing I've had in a month! We were at the theatre, generally talking after a play when the bats, yeah, plural, kept swooping in on us!!! Pesky things!
Nothing else has really happened. Jazz and I met two "sniffers" at the vet. It was was like it was their life's mission to sniff at every dog's ass while at the vet! And those things were massive doggies! Let's just say they got no where near my baby!
Aaaannnnddd.... ARCADE GAMES! Dude, so much fun! I loved it! I think we'll play some tomorrow also. Just cause. I love winning tickets and getting stuff that is one tenth the price we paid for the games in the first place. But who cares! Also a squeezy stress buster that is long and cylendrical... Draw your own conclusions! Tee hee!
Air Hockey is the best ever! :D
And end scene. Now I go to celebrate Wednesday at Hard Rock Cafe :D
Note: When you go to the theatre, do you ever see these "Arty-Farty" people? These will be the people dressing oddly, have this air or fake snobbery (I know oh-so-much about theatre), will comment on tiny things using big words to come off as so smart while in reality they are spouting a bunch on nonsense? Have you? We spotted tons of them yesterday. Just saying.
We also had a competition about who can use the word "Arty-Farty" in a derogatory manner the best. I forget who won. We each had 3 tries. Much fun!

And then... the jungle
It's two more days till Jasmin leaves already!!!! The last week and a half has FLOWN by! We've had some animal adventures, not too many though. The cows have left me alone, which is awesome. I'm still wary and cross to the other side when I see one on the road. Self preservation, gut feeling, instinct.. Whatever.
We went to the jungle last week. We got to see tiger cubs, which was ah-mazing! Another jeep spotted them at a water hole and radioed our safari jeep which hurtled through the forest with branches almost hitting our faces to get there. It was such a high to shoot through the forest, in a squeaky jeep, on something that can barely be called a road, with a steep drop on one side and hill on the other. We did make it to the water hole in one piece. Our heads were slightly swollen from all the knocking on metal. I dunno if that was good luck, but it seemed to have worked. I also wore two different socks, after I heard that it was supposed to be good luck from Matthew Gray Gubler. Now I believe it too!
The campsite was such that the electricity was available from 5:30am to 8am and from 6pm to 10:30pm. It's not fun being woken up at 5:30, going to the loo and finding a huge spider staring at you! Now you were also about to sit on it. Start screaming now? That is what Jasmin did! When she came out running and told me this, I mocked her thinking "It's a wee lil spider. Come on." and went in. It was no wee spider. That thing was the size of my palm!!!!! I went out to get my shoe and when I went back, the thing was gone!!! Disappeared! Crazy ass thing! We hunted high and low, found two other tiny spiders (which were quickly done away with) but couldn't find the big one. We shut the door to the loo real tight and went for the morning safari.
Coming back at 8:30am meant that there was no electricity, and also the loo had one tiny window which didn't help with the light as there were huge trees next to the window! Shining the torch, we both went in, holding slippers in out hands. We saw the big thing sitting next to the comode! It seemed to have had a rough few hours, as now it had 5 legs. Four on one side and one on the other. That didn't hinder it's speed as I chased it. I managed to chase it onto a towel which I carefully picked up, cause I didn't want to startle it and get it to run on me, threw the towel outside and it ran away. (I just shuddered while writing this!)
Jasmin opted for a quick wash while I was determined to not let that Thing scare me and get clean. As I was showering, I noticed some movement from the corner of my eye. I turned to look at a frog and a lizard staring at me. Gee, isn't that a pleasant sight? Let's just say, my shower was really quick and I got the hell out of there.
Our next animal adventure was with an elephant. I had gone to this jungle about 3 years ago, where I was chased by a baby elephant (who was decidedly bigger then I was) and wasn't looking forward to meeting him again. He wasn't around when we went to the elephant camp, but there was a magnificent tusker tied to a tree. I love elephants and I think they are really awe-some, in the literal sense of the word, so I convinced Jasmin that it was a good idea to take pictures of this animal. We went up close and started to take pictures. I walked closer, quite confidently. He was tame after all. He turned and looked at me and I grinned at him, thinking oh, he's saying hello or something. Me, the fool, still didn't move when he took a step towards me, but when he took the second and third step, I walked away real quick. I learned later that he wasn't exactly tame :P
Our jungle trip after that was pretty much uneventful. We fed a few monkeys at the nearby temple which was fun, but that's about it. We reached Bangalore at about 3pm and at 6pm we left to go to a friend's house for a well, not a party, but a get-together that's fun.
I don't know how to end this, but yeah. I'll post more later :)

Roaring rants.
So, an update to my earlier post - more animals that hate me and that I hate right back!
Bats - You little shrieking morons! Just because I walk under a low tree, does not give you the right to flap all around my head, scaring 10 years off me! I'd like to live till I'm 60 thanks! Me squatting on the street, holding a petrified dog and screaming is not how I'd like to start my morning!
Pigeons - Just cause they are worth another mention. Cooing rats with wings! Birds of the devil. Ever wondered why they are prime sacrifices in black magic? Losers!
That's it for now. Check back for more additions.
In my regular life, Jasmin's visit is 2 days away!!!!!!!! She'll be here early Sunday morning (like 2:55am), so It's Friday and Saturday! I still need to dust my room and make some space for her stuff in my closet. Or she can experience "Living out of a suitcase!" No? I thought so. Never fear. Space will be made.
I think I was the only person who celebrated St. Patrick's Day by wearing green and a bunch of shamrock themed jewellery! In a company of 3000 people, I was the only one who wore green. And no, green inner clothes don't count. Just saying.
Also, something I've noticed off late is that people are so enamoured of alcohol! Like when was drinking cool? It's cool to lose self control? To laugh at the smallest thing and frankly look like quite the idiot? Then, I'm very uncool. I'm also quite scornful when I see those rowdy people on the streets. Like they have nothing better to do in their lives. And what's up with the "Oh I've had a bad day, lets drink!, I got a crappy review, lets drink!" Um, no. It does not change things! You want to forget? See a funny movie, go bowling, take a walk, read a book, listen to some music, dance it out! Eat freaking ice cream! Like really, alcohol is not the answer!
I've been drunk once and it's total mortification. If I could take it back, I'd take it back in a second! Now, I either skip the drink or have a few sips of the rare cocktail at a dinner and the end. I just realised, that I've never been able to finish a drink (from beer to a shot) in sooooo long. That day (May 16th, 2009) was the only time. Yikes.
Now we are done with my rant about alcohol. Lets move on to cigarettes? No? Ok. I shall spare you.
I just heard that Sandra Bullock and Jesse James split!!! I feel so bad! I actually liked them! What the hell is going to happen to Sunny I actually wonder. I'm exploring new blogs, which is interesting... most of them drop the "F" word a LOT! I need to check if I've said it, but I know I've used some mild bad words in my rants, but I don't think I've used that word. I don't know how it adds to a sentence if you say "That flower is f****** beautiful". It's the same as saying "That flower is very beautiful." And the second sentence doesn't hurt your ears or make you cringe. Also one thing that irks me is that comedians use cuss words and think it's oh so funny! Dude, it's not.
I feel bad cause apparently Kate Walsh also uses cuss words to express her enthusiasm. That is sad and something that I totally disagree with. Oh well. End of rant 2.
Jasmin's visit! We're going to the jungle!!! The same one where I was chased by the baby elephant. Should be interesting at the very least. I cannot wait to see how she reacts to everything that is normal to me and so strange to her! This is also the first time we're meeting so I hope she has enough patience to handle my jumping hyperactivity that is fueled by the copious amounts of sugar I ingest!
If you've actually read all this I congratulate you. Good for you!
PS: ALINA!!!!! I LOVED your present!!! Thanks sooooo much!! <3

Birthdays!
Until now, I have always looked forward to my birthday, adding that extra candle on my cake, hopefully not getting carded at the movies (what the hell, I'm waay over 18!) and the presents. It starts on January 3rd, the countdown leading up to March 3rd, which is the big day. I plan everything in advance, let people know to block a particular day around that day and go crazy with anticipation.
This year, I turn the magic number of 23. It's not exciting at all!!! Nothing big about turning 23. At 22, you've just graduated college, you are officially a contributing member of society, it's a fun age to be! Everyone says "Oh! I wish I were 22." Clearly good things happen. I got on Twitter, made a whole host of very nice friends, "talked" to Kate Walsh (She tweeted a couple times) and Amy Brenneman (more than a couple times), Spent New Year with Jasmin and Summer (quiet, but fun), modelled, acted and generally had a blast. There were downs like me not being able to go to NYC to see Lauren Graham on Broadway (I really really wanted to go), literally not stepping out of the city and something that is on my mind, my birthday party being a bust cause a lot of people very unkindly didn't show up, and told me they weren't coming after I called them to find out where they were. (Yeah, I'm holding a grudge cause that is just really, really mean).
This year, I am not really planning much for my birthday, just a dinner with my family and best friend. However, the 23rd year of my life seems quite promising. I have learnt to wear heels, which I will wear on Wednesday, Jasmin (my German penfriend) is coming to visit me and we are going to have SO much fun, I will be going to NYC, LA and SF this year, Parenthood (the series with LG), Matthew Gray Gubler's directorial debut on Criminal Minds (both on my birthday!!) and just chilling out. I am really looking forward to this year, except the turning 23 bit. That is a real downer.
I was going to not do anything at all and generally sulk through my birthday, but I am happy that I was born, I love the life that I live and the people in it, I adore my doggie and I must say I could do a LOOOOOOTTT worse. So, I am not going to sulk, but I'm going to be happy and celebrate the small things in life.
Now that you have gotten through my rambling, here are the funny things that happened. I was going in an auto-rickshaw (google it) with Gyp and as we were going round a big circle, the auto went real close to a cow. Yes a cow. It was flicking off flies with it's tail and essentially wagging it for lack of a better word. Gyp was leaning out, her head out of the auto's side and suddenly she got whacked on the face by the cow's tail!!! She was stunned! She froze for a Milli-second before rushing back inside the auto and then sniffing the entire auto for the smell (of the cow)! It was so funny! I feel bad for her, but I cannot stop laughing.
That's it for now. I'll be back with a birthday update.
PS: Happy Birthday Alina!!! <3
