Well, I don't call myself a regular blog reader...though I have taken to reading friends' blogs recently. So I think I'm going to give this my best shot. And feel free to judge my thoughts.
Maybe a little background...I'm a college student studying in the US, but I'm from India...well, I lived in Dubai, UAE for the most part...but I'm originally from India. While I don't really consider myself a geek, I do tend to use the computer way more than is good for me, and I AM studying computer engineering, and I DO read sci-fi...but don't be too quick to judge! If there's anything I've learned over my college life, it's that stereotypes are misleading.
I prefer chilling with friends at Starbucks on a Friday night, or watching a movie, or just hanging around talking at 3am in the morning, knowing we've just killed enough time to make us slog our asses off for the rest of the weekend and still not finish all our work for Monday...but forgetting that blissfully, and looking up at the inky starry sky, and laughing at the smaller, "less important" issues in life. That does tend to be difficult at times...there are times when I cannot stand being with people who make jokes every two minutes...in fact, that's kind of how the end of this semester was for me. But that's how I like to think of me, and that's how I like to be most of the time.
In fact my friends (and not-so-friends :( ...I hate losing friends, and I hate having enemies...both find a way to stick in my mind...one way or the other) will be quick to point out here that I think too much and too deep! Almost like a woman. Of course, nowhere near as accurately, most of the time. Yes, as far as hanging out goes, I am (probably) still a very serious and quiet guy...but don't get me wrong. I like to listen, but I don't consider myself very good (tactful?) at speaking, so I usually avoid it (I think I can confidently make a speech impromptu...but that's a different skill). Sometimes I wonder if all my troubles are simply because I fear the unknown (If you can't understand why I suddenly brought that up here, then I apologize).
Some other facts...if you speak to me, it's more likely than not I'll tell you I wasn't listening or I couldn't hear you. That doesn't mean I'm being rude or stupid, it means you should take what I said no-nonsense and repeat what you just said :P And while I have opinions on a lot of stuff, I've found that no matter how hard I try to keep up with daily issues, people will always end up asking my opinion on something I just don't know about in front of a bunch of other people (and more likely than not, whose names I've already blissfully forgotten).
Well, there's more rants to come :) wow, I enjoy doing this...but for now, I've got to clean up my apartment...so I hope I've painted an honest enough picture of myself here.
