Jinx

Listening to : Shakira - La Tortura (Shaketon Remix)

Hey everyone! How's it going? Sorry for being a brat and not returning your calls or text messages but I've switched phones awhile ago and all my contacts are saved in my old phone. I'm too lazy to bring 'em back so I'm always left wondering "Who just called me.", or "Who just sms'ed me." I'd rather not reply with the wrong name and risk offending anyone. Again, thanks for the well-wishes :) I also haven't posted in awhile 'cuz I was busy hunting and gathering (read: fending for myself) ... well not really I was just lazy.

Remember a while back, when my aunt first moved in? I claimed that she and her little poltergeist buddies were the cause of the blackouts. It turns out that I couldn't be more wrong. I was the cause! Everything I touch turns to Crap (note the capital c) and this past month is the proof. First off, my lovely parents abandoned me and went on a vacation to prep for our "family vacation". Anyways, they leave me alone to fend for myself. That's not exactly true. I mean I've got my older sister but she's married and lives in her own place. Then there's my older brother but he's busy with his life and he lives in his own place. Then there's my younger brother, and to be completely honest, it's quite unfair for me to burden him with my problems (not that that's ever dissuaded me from running to him for help in the past) but still, I'm 20 now. I'm an adult. I should act like it. The thing is though, if I've always been ooh'd and aah'd over, how am I supposed to learn how to take care of myself. Am I supposed to just wake up one day and know? Add to that my uber-fear of confrontation. I know I don't seem like it online but in real life, unless I know you, I'm really shy. Seriously, I break out in a cold sweat and my mind automatically slows down when I'm talking to someone for the very first time. There is no reason for this, it's just the way I am. So all in all, it makes life... interesting :D Urk! Got a little sidetracked... again haha

Anywhooo, exactly a day after my folks left. I touched the A.C. and it broke down. I touched the sink, it started leaking. I touched the tv (switched the wires from dvd-tv to vcr-tv) which messed up the reception. I touched my iPod (for the very first time after buying it) and it turns out later on that I somehow lost the headphones. All of the above I just chalked up to coincidence, but the final straw was when I tossed a poptart in the microwave. I am by no means Iron Chef or anything of the sort but I've come to think of myself as somewhat of an expert when it came to poptarts, meaning I could leave the microwave unattended for a minute or two. I've done it before and nothing bad has ever happened. So imagine my surprise when I come back (after popping a poptart in the microwave) and our whole upstairs family living room (where said microwave happens to be) is filled with smoke (to the extent that I could barely see ahead) and a nasty smelling eye-watering odor. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. After airing out the living room, I press the button that pops the microwave's door open and out comes even more smoke. It took half a day to air out the whole place. So yeah, am I a jinx or am I jinx?

Last but most important of all, my baby cousin finally started crawling! I'm sooo proud of him. I swear, babies are just too cute! I'm thinking of getting one of my own. Maybe I'll adopt or something. My family thinks I should be able to raise a pet first. I'll show them. Come next Ramadan, my turtles LuLu (big) and Mr Smith (small) will have been with me for a year. My other cousin is missing his two front teeth. He looks like an adorable mini-dracula. The way he eats is absolutely hilarious! He has to tilt his head and only eat on the sides. Gosh, I really want kids of my own *sniffle* Ah well, take care people :)

~PEACE~
