compie's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \"two souls destined to be together for many lives to come\" hey everyone. hah..well not many of anyone really, but whatever. ugh..you know how when you go somewhere for a little while and its so fun that when you come back you hate everything? yeah..well maybe not. but thats how i feel. I dunno. I just spent the weekend with my dad and veena, and we went to a wedding. The bride was hindu and the groom was catholic. Anyways, Sarina was there..and Arya, whos 23 and incredibly awesome and nice. So okay..before i keep on going i might as well tell you about how it was.. well on friday they had like a thing for all the people on the brides side of the family, so veena and i went to that. This girl i know through that side of the family (wont mention names cause of past experience with names), whos like 20..was like..amy..you HAVE to drink tonight. Of course being the average teenager, liking wine, and not wanting to dissapoint her (also she asked this HOT guy to buy it for me), i consented. So, we go in the bathroom, and i go in one of the stalls and start chugging..then we hear someone in the bathroom..so she panics and pushes the door open, and thus causes my drink to spill all over my outfit (which was out of some expensive indian material)..so we were all "oh shit". luckily, the whole wedding was being held at the Hilton and they had reserved like a bunch of rooms for the wedding people, so we could go get a room and blowdry it off. Before that though, i went back in the bathroom to check for one of those blowy thingies, but there wasnt one..THEN the MOTHER of the BRIDE came out and saw my outfit and was all concerned..i told her it was water but i reeked. She started blotting it but i told her it was just water and id quickly go up to a room and dry it..but she was all reluctant. I managed to get out of that situation. Then we found this kid who ended up being the groom's cousin, and we talked to him and used his room to blowdry it..and..phew. haha. then we came back downstairs and no one had any idea. Except for the hot guy, and a couple other people we were with of course. hahaha..looking back on it, that was actually kind of fun. Then, i got mehndi (henna) done on my hand. It looked really nice, but now its starting to fade and peoplein school think its "scary" cause theyre all not cultured enough to appreciat things they havent seen. oh well. Anyways back to the wedding. So then that whole night they were playing like hindi music and rap and all the indian people (including old people) were all dancing. haha. So then the next day for the wedding, the wedding itself had all these elaborate rituals that i wont go to in detail, but took at least 3 hours i think. Then we had the reception. The married couple slowdanced to this old bluesy song, which of course can never be too romantic. And theen they totally played like every hindi song mixed with some rap songs (including nellys "hot in herre" and old people dancing to it), and every singly person was on the dance floor. One of the more lively receptions. Sarina and Arya did a dance, which they claim they messed up on, but no one noticed. At the end its custom for the bride and groom to leave, and the bride's parents to get really sad and start crying because their daughter is leaving the proverbial nest. But in america its not as big a deal as in india. Still the daughter and her parents were crying..and some other people too..but half of them were drunk anyway..but yeah. So they just drove around the hotel and came back in 15 minutes. hahahaha. so crying was not needed. Anyways..Half of everyone was drunk by now, but not like my parents or anything. But anyway veena and i slept over at Sarinas. So then i woke up the next day, ate lunch..chilled for a while, then came home to do all my history notes (eew.) Anyways, i think the reason this weekend was so fun was not just cause of the wedding and everying, but just cause everyone there was like..like me i guess. Not to be racist or anything..but it is nice when you dont feel like a minority anymore, and there isnt any disrimination because of that. It was just nice because that wasnt in my subconcious. And people like Arya and Sarina are just easy going and a lot of fun to just be with without worrying about stupid superficial shit like you have to in high school. Its just nice when you dont have to worry about like styles and music and stupid crap, and just be people. Wow..i think ive mentioned stuff like that in the last 3 entries i wrote. I dunno. Its cause recently its really been bothering me i guess. Not really anyone in particular, but the whole consituency. Another thing thats been bothering me lately is that i feel so underdeveloped. I mean i see all my peers with cellphones and cars and purses and jobs and im still here with my proverbial bicycle, if you know what i mean. It just sucks. Like today i went out with my mom to get shoes and i saw John driving home. That depresses me to no end. Im like the only kid without a car, lisence, job, cell phone. I dont have shit. and its cause i dont care. But i probably should. I mean everyone else does..and im the only god forsaken person that doesnt. so anyways, school sucked today. For a lot of reasons..Most of which i dont feel like getting into now. Lets just say that most people are the opposite of the friends i hung out with at the wedding. Most are self absorbed, superficial, and ignorant. Its quite sad. I really hope i get out of this faze of hating lots of things soon. 6:13 p.m. - 2003-10-13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
