Happy New Year ppl!!!
I saw this Meme over at Aisha's and since there was an open invitation and I had loadsa free time, i did it too... :D
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?
Went to islamabad and stayed with my best friend for the weekend.
Yep, im 21 and this is the first time in my life ive stayed over at a friend's place, with no family around. What can I say, my parents arent really all that into the Independence for girls club.(my dad was in the isloo too for a meeting staying in a hotel...does that count???)
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I wanted to lose a lot of weight (ha ha, who doesnt!)… I only lost a little weight (not enough to satisfy me)
I wanted to exercise lots… I didnt get around to having a proper exercise routine.
I wanted to work really hard at studies again… I was too lazy a bum to study as hard as I had planned.
Yep! I will definitely make some for next year, im really good at procrastinating.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My uncle had a baby daughter. I cant remember anyone else.

On a different day
If I was safe in my own skin
Then I wouldn't feel lost and so frightened
But this is today
And I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely
I don't even want to be with myself anymore
I just want to feel
Safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again.

Sometimes I guess there just arent enough rocks
Bless the human mind for remembering. Bless it more for being able to forget, wiping some events off the memory slates, as if they had never happened. Then all that is left are slight traces and recollections of an afternoon sun ready to settle outside the window and a dark room beyond it. All that is left then to haunt you for the rest of your life is the dark room and its demons. But bless the mind of this 8 year old who hasnt been able to remember anymore ever since.

Sisters are a strange breed...
I hate people leaving.
I hate being left alone.
I hate realizing that it affects me way more than I want it to.
I hate everyone expecting me to get over it and to just deal with it.
I hate not being able to get over it and to just deal with it (believe me, I want to!)
I hate being weak.
I hate realizing I am not that strong after all.
I hate depending on others for happiness.
I hate not enjoying TV cuz no one is there to watch it with me.
I hate Mc-Dz tasting like rubbish when im all alone in an empty lounge, eating it.
I hate everyone asking me, how you holding up girl.
I hate finding something funny and not having anyone around to share it with.
I hate leaving coffee mugs everywhere with no one around to tell me to pick up after myself.
I hate having no furry ball of a cat sleeping on my books, in my bag, in my bed and leaving cat
hair behind.
I hate never realizing in these last three years that you must have felt this way too every
summer (im sorry… :( )
I hate missing people I spend 16 hours of every single day with.
I hate missing two of the most important people in my life.
I hate missing you two cuz that just means you arent here where I am.
Love you two so so sooooo much! You guys mean the world to me!
