Does this happen with everybody or is it only me and yet another global conspiracy to give me hypertension before it is entirely necessary?

My phone will remain silent and dead to the world for ages and ages. Then, just as I am about to go and kill myself from boredom, it will mercifully ring. And then, before I have spent two seconds talking to the person who has called, I shall start getting those insistent beeps which mean someone else is trying to call me. Subsequently, as I hastily cut off the first conversation mid-way and launch into the next, those beeps will sound again meaning a third person has now joined the queue of those who would gladly chop their arms off into little little pieces without the aid of aneasthesia for a chance to talk to me RIGHT NOW.

 Oh, and sometimes in the middle of all this my landline will also ring, meaning my mother has chosen this moment of all others to order me to send 5 SMSs to some TV program to help a girl from Jabalpur I've never seen in my life win some crazy talent show.

And then when I have managed to juggle all the conversations and given Hutch the chance to rob me a bit more by calling back what feels like scores of people, my phone will fall silent and remain in that state for the next five hours.

Do tell me it's not something I have done to upset the universe?

I have been on Hi5 and Orkut for more than a year now and I think it is a great way of being in touch with friends. I have also found many of my old friends with whom I had lost touch . However they can also be really irritating at times, especially when you are flooded with weird add requests from people you don't know. The moment you state that you are a 'female' (I don't think guys get strange girls adding them) or display your picture, you are flooded with scraps and messages from guys who "wanna make franship" with you!
I have  friends who add these guys just for the sake of adding, but I don't like adding people I don't know - especially because I already have a  friends list of people I know!

There have been tons of strange requests I have got. Here are some.....

• mine also sep 7th
  do u know the significance of sep 7th
  have a fabulous time friend
  This request is probably nothing compared to the weird ones I have got but I found it strange because this guy had a different date of birth on his profile!!!!
• hi aap bahut hi payari ho by da be i m nasir from xyz place madem kya hum aapke dost ban sakte hai sayed ha ya nahgi hum to nahi jante magar ha dear hum to aapke bare me jyada nahi jante lakin itna sure hai ki aap ek bahut hi honest larki ho ku ki aapke chehre [ar maine we honesty pathi hai sayed chare pathna galat ho sakta hai lakin sang sang mere dil ne bhi hume kaha ki hum dost ban sakte hai hum aapki jaba ka intazar karege ok bye friend and ya my cell number is ********** ok bye take care
  Oh God! It took me quite a while to read what he wrote and then a lot of time to try and make sense of what he means! Eeks! How can someone just give any stranger his number *rolls eyes*
• He dear........
  Err.........No Comments!
• just love me
  I replied to this guy "Eeks! I hate that song - am not a Salman Khan fan...and in case you did not mean the song...sorry! You've clicked on the wrong profile!! In case you din't know - am an anti-social person...I hate everybody...every human being........by any chance, you aren't an animal, are you??"
• Give me the chance to be crazy about you.
  Aaarghhh!
• hi sweets....i think there is a saying if beauty looks could kill...i would be dead by ur seeing ur...ur pretty and beautiful...im ayush......a libran by birth...would love to get to know u more and better ....and b a friend..but the million dollar question is do u feel the same...i hope the answer is in the positive...my fingers and toes are crossed for that....awaiting for ur response in eagerness...cheers and take care...do u chat often...wish i could get ur chat id....ciao
  Hmm if looks could kill and if I am as “pretty” and “beautiful” as he thinks, then why is this person still on this planet!!! *rolls eyes*
  I just replied, "Aah keep wishing for my chat id!!! Need I say more...."
• Hello. Okay, I said something. Your turn.
  When I saw this request I was totally blank and did not know how to react....was choosing to ignore when R, who read the scrap, told me to reply "Bye and don't bother to reply!!!!" which I did and never heard from the guy ever again!! Ha! Ha!
• I know of a fool-proof way for you to turn me into a prince...will u be my princess
  Now this was ridiculous! I had no idea what this guy is talking about until my friend asked me, "Idiot! Haven't you heard the story of 'The Frog And The Prince'?" and I was blank again! I realised only after a while what she meant and I was not even sure whether the guy meant the same thing or not. Nevertheless, I was bugged so just replied "I don't talk to frogs, even if they will turn into princes one day!"
•  I want 2 dating with u plz send me ur massage.
  Yuck!!! I hate people who make such icky spelling mistakes and write such atrocious english! I just replied, "Am sure you have a massage parlour in your city - go there...leave me alone!" Why are there such losers on these sites - I really wonder!!!!!
• Please accept my request for friendship if you are not allergic to friendship...
  I just replied, "I am not allergic to friendship but I am definitely allergic to despos sending me add requests!"
• well a person having guts to admit she is crazy.u are cool.wanna be my frnd?
  I got this scrap at a time when I had actually filled in the "About Me" section  and I just removed my description, and till date it remains "When forced to come up with something clever, my mind just blanks out..."
• Hi madam!!Attracted by the koala bear in ur arms!!Cho chweeet!! I am student of comp sc engineering,2nd yr. Stay in XYZ place. Age 20(gonna be 21 this December,can't wait any longer,'coz most of my frnds have already become 21!!Grrrrr!!)!!

• hey...finally got u here!!
  I replied to this person,"Got me where!! Was I lost?? Who are you BHAIYA, do I know you???"
• There was a guy who once sent me an add request. His first name was "Cylinder" and last name "Drum"!!!! I was once again blank - seriously! What is this world coming to! I just replied, "My mother told me to stay away from gas cylinders. It's dangerous...I am a good girl and I listen to my mom always."
• hi.r u bangauli.how sweet yaar.nice 2 meet u.actually i believe in the beauty of bangal.actually u r also cute.hee............ accha hai na.shal v friends.i dont no ki kisi anjaan aur sundar ladki se dosti ke liye kaise kaha jata hai but kush karna janta hu aur hasana.pareshani door 2 tak bhaag jati hai mujhse,nahi to try karke dekho.ek baar haso.ha ha ha.
  I seriously think something is wrong with all the guys! I replied, "Firstly am not a bangauli....I am Bengali.....secondly it is always nice to meet me but I am sooo sorry I cannot say the same for you....I hate it when people I don't know send me such weird FRANSHIP requests - in any case I dont have any respect for losers and despos but seriously when you people actually send me such pathetic sick yucky disgusting requests I am alwayz like : what the hell is this world coming to!!

Damn do u guys really have no work out here...I have seriously lost count of the number of stupid guys who send me FRANSHIP requests.............no I don't wanna b friends with you...I don't know you....don't even wanna know you...you aren't worth knowing am sure.....so Ido mind bein friends with you!! Am not interested!! Go get a life pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee".
• There was another guy who scrapped me that he is also giving his ISC exams and he had 0 friends on his list. I decided to reply to him also (I was in a whacky mood that day *effect of too much to study*),"Damnit you people are gonna live a 1000 yrs....I was just discussing with my friend about the weirdos n despos on  who send every girl weird friendship requests and here you are!!!!! If you are giving your ISC exams - good for you! Give CAT...give CBSE - I DONT CARE but whatever...shouldn't you be studying!!! Don't bug me - I know exams ke waqt tension hota hai and you'd like to make new friends but trust me : sending scraps to strangers and of all d people sending me one add request was the worst thing you could possibly have thought of......AT THE MOMENT I AM JUST CURSING YOU and please don't bug me again - in case my curse works....am sure you wouldn't want to mess up ur ISC!!! Good bye!!! In any case you have 0 frnz on your profile...don't you get the hint...no one wants u here ...why are you still here...Shoo!! Go away!"
• Well bugged by these requests, I tried changing my status to "committed" hoping that it would prevent unknown people from adding me. But I wasn't successful *sighs*....One guy scrapped me, "I not comitted. My frends r not comitted. Y u commited?????????????"
  Now this is heights!!! I simply replied, "Because all of you are single...I am committed!"

I miss the way we were

I miss the long walks in the woods

I miss our fishing trips

I miss your sensitive side

I miss your compassion

I miss the sobs and sniffles while watching Casablanca all alone

I miss that look in your eyes

I miss the way you loved me

I miss the way I loved you

I miss YOU and all the things we could have been

I love it when you kiss me behind the ears while standing up in the kitchen

I loved the note you left for me in the kitchen cabinet, after I slaved over the gourmet meal

I love it when you do the clothes, it shows me how much you truly care

I love it when you bring me a cup of coffee to wake me up in bed

I love it when you whisper my name so passionately

I love it when you call me honey

I love it when you write me poetry

I love it when you pick me up on the dance floor

I love it when...............................................

Random thoughts from a Single Woman,  

    hehehehe!

Sometimes I wonder, what life would be like if I had everything I ever wished for, if I lived everything I dreamt about, if everything came quickly and easily? Well what will I be living for if I didn't have to work another day? What will I pray for if there were never any problems to face? What will I dream about if the guy I fell in love with was right here next to me?

We all complain that life never gives us what we want! Of course it doesn't because having everything in life means the end of our survival, the end of our dream!

In life:
* It is easy to Bare your soul and talk to absolute strangers! It's difficult to do that before the ones we know.
* It is easy to fall in love! It's difficult to express that love.
* It is easy to love when that love is returned. It's difficult to sustain that love when it is not returned...or if that love is shared.
* It is easy to miss your family when they are not around...It's difficult to express that to them when they are.
* It is easy to lose touch with friends. It's difficult to gain that friendship back.
* It is easy to breakdown when crisis happen. It's difficult to get yourself back on your feet.
* It is easy to survive. It's difficult to live it to the fullest!
* It is easy to blame, but accept fault.
* It is easy to give up when things don't go your way. It's difficult to fight for it.
* It is easy to cry when it hurts and laugh when it doesn't. It's difficult to laugh when it hurts and cry when it doesn't!
* It is easy to hope and wish, but very difficult to work for.

 Of course, it's just a thought...
