1. I feel gift-wrapped this morning, because I’ve tied a ribbon around my neck in a big floppy bow.

2. My dad said I look like a kitten because of above-mentioned bow, and I have realised that cat/kitten/feline or some synonym thereof is a pretty popular way to describe me. I cannot fathom why though.

3. The inability to sleep is making my eye twitch uncontrollably and constantly. It’s ridiculous and feels like my eyelid has morphed into a butterfly.

4. I am stressed out about the 12 pages supplement I am coming out with tomorrow. 4 additional pages, without any additional help.

5. I let J goad me into verbal warfare again yesterday. Although I deleted him off Facebook, I felt bad and added him back. The tu-tu-main-main went on for 50 comments, out of which only 3 were not by J or me.

6. It is the most fun thing in the world to imitate my dad. He looks so astounded and helpless and speechless that the rest of us collapse into uncontrollable giggles. I especially love it when he looks at my mother in mute entreaty. She can’t help grinning. It’s so funny.

7. My mother actually said to me that she has stopped watching television because my life is more exciting. And the sad part is that she is the third person to say something along those lines.

8. I am utterly SICK of Tata Indicom and their highly inefficient systems and processes. I have never experienced this level of sheer negligence. I am actually considering taking them to consumer court. (PS: I just received a call from them, therefore I am furious. This wasn’t an original ‘random’ thought. It actually deserves a post all its own.)
