My Useless Attempt to Escape Reality

It seems the universe is trying to tell me something via face book.  My home page is flooded with tiny red hearts floating around at such regular intervals that I can’t keep the page open for more than a minute at any point of time. I open my gmail there is another long mail chain from my erstwhile UG friends which these days serves for the sole purpose of updating people’s relationship status. And lets not forget the wedding invitation mails with the website embedded. And, every time I open these websites, it’s like a relentless torture. Soppy music on the background, stories and bad poetry seems to be everywhere.  So, I thought maybe reading some glossy magazine looking at something I can never afford will cheer me up but Vogue has come up with its wedding issue with more of those “romantic” stories.  Just kill me now!

I am stuck in this so called marriage vortex.  All my friends from UG are married or on their way to the gallows. And to make matters even worse the current reading material is not helping me. The book I picked up is titled “The Marriage Plot”. Quite a un-serendipitous thing actually (if there is such a word).

So, my coping mechanism for this month of marriage madness

1. Listen to new genres like Hip-hop (I actually downloaded Flo-rida songs; my laptop will definitely commit suicide pretty soon!)

2. Retail therapy online and offline (which did help a lot but my credit card company sure did call to find out if it was really me :))

3. Books books and more books

4. My camera, my salvation (or so I thought, but it is going to take a lot of time getting used to this baby :|, who said hobbies are easy  :()

5. Sorting/ de-sorting my cupboard (it does help)

So, even any one has new ideas please be my guest, help a friend :)

Ciao
