A Window to my World [III]

Good evening everyone. You are now tuned into FM LD is a Loon. Please stay with us to hear the latest 'updates' on LD's alternately eccentric and mundane existence...

Right then, welcome, welcome! Greetings to new visitors and old! My my, my discreet blog is getting noticed! To get back to the topic of 'updates', let me start by mentioning that I've been feeling immensely relieved these days. I finally cleaned up my room (which looked very similar to a garbage dump). This great and oh-so-important event in history took place on the 17th of June. My room and everything in it is squeaky clean. I feel so happy about that! Eight and a half hours of incessant toil did pay off. Yayness!

My mother has also run out of topics to nag me about. When I mentioned this happy fact of life to her some days back, she looked at me oddly and said, "Wait! Let me think of some!" and then plunged into serious contemplation. It seems that she has not had sudden flashes of insight regarding this issue seeing that all her attempts at attempting to nag me have fallen flat. "Ha!" says I. Yayness, again!

These last few days, I have had to spend my creative energies coming up with different ways of saying formal 'Thank You's. One can probably see the results in the last post. I had to make another such card this evening. However, the stimulus for the card was a rather pleasant one — a lovely collection of CDs, which contain some very good songs. It is, by far, the best (and most thoughtful) 'Congratulations-for-passing-out-and-getting-into-college' gift I have received. Much better than numerous rather expensive ball-point pens, which are all unfortunately blue (a colour of ink that I do not write with). Another lovely gift that I have received is a Music World gift voucher which will be valid for the next six months. Very nice, indeed. Now I can easily go and buy a CD of my choice with less pressure on my 'hard-saved' money. Speaking of which, I have acquired Minutes to Midnight. LP may have mellowed a bit, but they still ROCK MY SOCKS!

In spite of my acquaintances being kept busy and not watching movies or hanging out with me everyday (glares at them), I have kept myself busy as well and not let myself be captured by those filthy and disgusting hands of the evil demon called 'Boredom'. I have been reading and listening to a lot of music. (No surprises there). The only sad part is that I am yet to attend a piano lesson this month owing to 'unavoidable circumstances'. Neglect in this department on my part showed its ugly face this evening when I found that I had nearly forgotten one piece. FORGOTTEN! Gasp. Splutter. Blink. I had to spend one hour practising it over and over again till I perfected it once again. Fortunately, some of the other pieces which are closer to my heart were left unscathed. Thank goodness for conditioned reflexes!

My battle with insomnia has taken a turn for the better. Although I still cannot fall asleep before half past twelve, sleep has been coming to me more easily and I have been waking up by half past seven everyday, that too by myself! I would call that nothing short of a miracle. Miss I-hate-waking-up-before-one-in-the-afternoon is awakening early!

Ah well. I have one last week of complete freedom. I just hope that I can make the best of it and am not left to amusing myself drawing stupid flowers as Thank You cards only. That will be all tonight. Thank you for tuning in to FM LD is a Loon. Hope you've enjoyed the show. Feedback is eagerly awaited. Good night!

Oh, hey! You can go up to the terrace and watch three planets align themselves perfectly.

Teh damnable piano lessons. Thankfully I've stopped taking them. Although I haven't stopped playing.

Linkin' Park has indeed mellowed down... agh. However, I do listen to what may be termed more-metallic rock, or Shock Rock and Goth Rock and Whatever Rock...

Bah..
